Okay, That Chipotle Ad Is Amazing…But It’s Also Not Honest
Last week, atrailer/ad for a Chipotle game went viral—and if you’ve watched it, it’s easy to see why. The ad creates a Pixar-esque world where one brave Scarecrow decides to stop participating in a culture of processed, genetically altered food.

Man, Adventure Time Is Beautiful
Can we just appreciate how good the backgrounds in Adventure Time look for a minute? ‘Cause they’re pretty freaking gorgeous. Of course, while you’re actually watching an episode of Pendleton Ward’s kooky but charming cartoon, it’s easy to overlook the gorgeous visuals. Things move fast, or we focus on the characters.

In Case You Needed A Reminder: The Human Body Is Amazing
Here’s someone that will probably make some of us feel bad about our own workouts: a calisthenics bodyweight expert called Frank Medrano.

I Thought This Game Was Supposed To Be Realistic. Oh Well!
One of ArmA III’s biggest selling points is its realism—it’s a modern combat simulation that gives players a sandbox to play out scenarios not possible in most other games. So I was certainly surprised to see this footage by Moerderhoschi785, where a player rides a drone like he was the Green Goblin or something. Mind,…

Questioning Male Cosplayer’s Geek Cred To Prove A Point
A common, unfortunate assumption with a lot of female cosplayers is that they just do cosplay for ‘attention’ (amongst other things)—so it’s kind of startling, if not funny at times to see that script switched by jenniferlanda here. But! To be fair, male cosplayers are way less visible in the cosplay world—so while they may…

What Assassin’s Creed IV Will Look Like On PS4 and Xbox One
Once the Xbox One and PlayStation 4 drop, I imagine that many early adopters will ask themselves one question over and over again during the first year: do I buy new games on current-gen consoles, or next-gen consoles?
