Last Year’s Superhero Movies Are Better Than This Year’s. Here’s Why.

This year’s superhero movies? They kind of suck—well, in comparison to last year’s kickass superhero movies. What gives? According to Slacktory, last year’s supherhero movies practically gave us a ten step guide on how to be awesome! You’d think the success would be easily replicated. Really, this year’s movies have no excuse. Speaking seriously though:…

Mega Charizard, Venusaur and Blastoise, In Classic Red and Blue Style

One of the more distinctive things about the first Pokemon games—aside from nostalgia—is that we got to see the older, distinctive art style drawn by Ken Sugimori (Pokemon’s art director). And thanks to artists like Tomycase, we can still have the pleasure of seeing new Pokemon in that older ‘Sugimori style,’ too. Like the original…

More Totally (Not) Believable Proof That We’re Getting Half-Life 3

Here’s a silly GIF about trying to read too much into Valve’s three announcements this week—it’s what happens when you overlay the 3 images onSteam Universe countdown page, according to yathern. And another take,by tacothecat: Note that neither of these GIFs loop, for some reason!

The Most Surreal GTA V Glitch So Far: Clones, Clones Everywhere

Franklin, Michael and Trevor, the protagonists of Grand Theft Auto V, are one of a kind…well, kind of. If you don’t happen to get hit with a glitch that clones characters, then sure! A few people over at Reddit have shared pictures and videos of a bizarre cloning glitch that you’ve gotta see to believe.…

Pokemon Hasn’t Really Felt Exciting In A Long While…Until Now

I remember the first time I played Pokemon as a kid—the sense of awe that came with being able to set off on an adventure with cool monsters at my side. It’s just the kind of childish fantasy that seems destined to grow less enchanting as we grow older. Sure enough, despite being a Pokemon…

We Had Toy Story. Kids These Days Probably Have…Mac Story? Ack!

The toys in Toy Story never wanted to get replaced—but, that reality becomes an inevitability as Andy grew older. Likewise, given how often Apple releases new products, it’s kind of inevitable for many of us to consider an upgrade…much to the dismay of these electronics animated by Funny or Die. Plus, as some people gripe,…

In this, the year of Luigi: critic Cameron Kunzelman wants to settle the question of what comes after the Year of Luigi via a Nintendofied version of the Mayan calendar. Fun thing is, there are 4 different ways to interpret this calendar.

Track: From Time | Album: Nothing Was The Same | Artist: Drake Kotaku Soundtrack is a selection of the stuff we’re listening to – and gaming to – at the moment.

Breaking Bad Lead Actor Reads An Amazing Erotic Fan Letter, Oh My

If you’re famous, then you probably have fans. Fans like to send fan letters, but not all fan letters are created equal. Some letters are simply better than others, and this sexual fan letter that Bryan Cranston received, which he reads out-loud on Conan? It’s fan-tas-tic. I’m kind of surprised this letter got to Cranston,…

The New, Hip Way To Eat Ramen: With Your Beard

Some folk like to joke about how beards come in handy when it comes to food, as facial hair can act as storage (eww, I know)…but this is something else entirely. Incredibeard isn’t using his beard for storage, but as a bowl. That’s not all. There’s also footage of this dude using his beard to…

The Best Part of Wind Waker HD Isn’t The Beautiful Visuals

Sure, Wind Waker HD is gorgeous—absurdly so! But if the Twitter account Linkstagram is any indication, the best part of playing Wind Waker HD actually is having the ability to take ridiculous and silly selfies (aka self-portraits). The visuals help in that regard though, sure…but the pictures don’t have to be of anything particularly amazing,…

Guns for the Call of Duty generation: here’s documentary by Motherboard about “smart weapons,” or guns with scopes that incorporate HUDs that help even novices pull off one-shot-one-kills. The gun does all the accuracy calculations for you. Fascinating stuff, and yes, they do talk about people who play games.

Let’s Talk About Multiplayer Games

A short The Multiplayer column today, because I’ve spent the last 3 days getting destroyed by a cold. So! I’ll turn it over to you guys: 1) What multiplayer games are you playing lately? What games are you looking forward to? Feel free to talk about anything and everything multiplayer in here, think of it…

Man, There Are So Many Ways Breaking Bad Could End Next Week

One episode left before it’s all over in Breaking Bad—you know what that means, right? It’s practically impossible not to hypothesize over how it’ll all end. Some theories are ridiculous, some theories are amazing, and if the rest of the show is any indication, almost all guesses will end up being wrong. But hey, that…

Even Selfies Become Awesome When You Add Space Jam

Okay, to be fair, Space Jam makes everything better—but even so, let’s not undersell the work of Gabriel Valenciano here. The fellow seems intent on souping up the selfie (aka, self-portraits) via what he calls “Super Selfies.” Basically, Super Selfies are short, condensed video clips of the man going wild on camera while a song…

BatDad Is The Best Dad. Also Maybe The Worst.

Can you imagine being a kid and having your dad sometimes sport a Batman mask as he waits for opportunities to parent you in that iconic gritty Batman voice? That’s exactly what Vine user BatDad does, and it’s amazing. Well, for us, the viewers. His family seems to go between amused, nonplussed and annoyed based…

Seeing Game of Thrones Actors In Sesame Street Is A Little Weird

Peter Dinklage and Lena Heady have a life outside of butting heads as the Lannister siblings in Game of Thrones. I know that. It’s still kind of strange (if not amusing!) to see them both on a show like Sesame Street, though. I mean, it’s so wholesome! They’re not plotting any schemes! What is this?…

An N64 That Looks Like It’s Straight Out of Tron

Man. What a gorgeous N64. Just like most of Zoki64‘s work, it’s so pretty that I’d almost feel bad for using the console at all, if I could use it. Almost. Consoles are meant to be played, people. Here’s a video that gets you up close with the console and controller: (Via it8Bit)

Kojima: Waterboarding, Torture “Needs to Be Done” In Games Like MGS

While Metal Gear Solid is a franchise that has included torture in the past, not only are more and more games including it recently—GTA and Splinter Cell, for example—it’s still a sensitive subject that’s hard to pull off tastefully. So naturally, it’s always a thing that people like to discuss—particularly, how to handle it properly,…

Awesome Breaking Bad Mini Episodes You Might’ve Missed

Hey there. Newest episodes of Breaking Bad got you down? It’s OK. Let’s take a minute to look back on happier times earlier in the show. Not just any moments, mind: let’s talk about the mini-episodes that you may never have watched at all. Not only are they often hilarious—which we might need, given how…
