Nicki Minaj’s Face + Tyrion Lannister’s Face = Wow
The thing about face mash-ups like this one—for me at least—isn’t that they look strange or weird. It’s the opposite! What gets me is that they work so well together despite the perceived randomness of the mash-up. It’s like FaceMashups fused an entirely new person from an unlikely pairing. And man, that smile at the…

Attack on Titan’s Awesome Intro, Redone As A Rad Metal Song
Now, the opening to Attack on Titan is already fantastic—but that doesn’t mean I can’t get behind 331Erock shredding out a metal version of the song.

Introducing The Nintendo 2DEES… That IS a Mistake This Time
Watching this clip of ABC News reporting on the 2DS, I am honestly surprised that I’ve never heard someone mistakenly refer to the 3DS as ‘three-dees.’ Sure, it’s wrong, but I can kind of see why someone would mispronounce it that way!

Well, This Disney Infinity Ad Sure Was Horribly Placed

The 2DS Was Predicted Years Ago…As An April Fools Joke
Yesterday, when the 2DS was first announced, some outlets made sure to tell folks that it was not, in fact, a joke. But it kind of sounded like one, right? Enough that it shouldn’t be surprising that someone predicted something much like the 2DS years ago—2011 to be exact—as an April Fools joke. “Folks, be…

Good lord, this guy goes HAM on an order of shawarma—enough that you gotta think, not only can he make your order, he could probably mess you up with that scimitar if he wanted to, huh? Nevermind that—this video by Хорен Аветисян is also a good reminder that it’s impossible not to get pumped when…

Top Smash Bros. Fan Sites Knocked Offline, Hackers Blamed
Having a single website go down isn’t so unusual. But in this case, bizarrely, the Smash Bros community has allegedly become a target for multiple distributed denial of service attacks (which disable a website’s server with high traffic). Meaning, we’re not just dealing with one downed website. We’re dealing with multiple out of commission websites.…

Normally having gaps in your memory is a bad thing, but in the case of blayzeon‘s sometimes-faulty memory? It’s pure entertainment. You can see that in action in this Pokemon project, where blayzeon drew up all the original 151 Pokemon from memory—which we’ve seen before—but this time, there was no erasing.

Sony Is On A Roll With These WTF PlayStation Ads
Last time we checked into Latin American ads, we saw Sony try to sell people on PlayStation products using a most unusual premise. Oh, but it seems that it’s not the only ad in the campaign! So. The ad above? It translates to, “You won’t care if your boyfriend doesn’t call while playing.” Hmm, is…

Let’s Look At This Breaking Bad Star’s Audition Tape

Show Us Your Favorite Fighting Game Ultras and Supers
One thing I can’t help but admire about fighting games is how well the genre uses moves and kinetics for characterization: sure, not every game has a fantastic story attached to it, but that doesn’t mean a fighting game can’t have well-defined, unique characters, you know? You don’t need hours of exposition to understand characters…
