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…
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. Starts off a little slow, but once he gets into the groove, it’s fantastic. And if you want to compare to the original… Actually, now that we’re here, you’ve…
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! Same goes for the 2DS. Observe: But beyond that, this clip perfectly sums…
Whoever thought it was a good idea to place an ad for a kid’s game next to a somber story about child murder…lord, I don’t even know. The paper in question—spotted by Lauren Wainwright—is Metro, a british tabloid. If you’re curious about the story on the right of the picture, which reports bombings south of…
DID YOU KNOW: in this, the year of Luigi, the L stands for…Luigi. (Via BadMiiversePosts)
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…
We could write about the aural improvements the Xbox One will enjoy when it comes to voice chat. But why do that when you can just..listen for yourself? Here’s the Xbox One’s voice chat. And here’s the Xbox 360’s voice chat: A noticeable difference, yeah? (Via Major Nelson)
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…
Speedrunner Cosmo Wright is on a roll—last week, he was able to nab the world record for fastest Ocarina of Time run, beating it in nineteen minutes and fifteen seconds. Today he’s back with another record: the fastest Wind Waker playthrough as of this writing. You can watch it for yourself. The time is four…
Think what you will of the recently-unveiled Nintendo 2DS, but at the very least we can’t say that it’s a hardware reveal that went unnoticed—Nintendo’s curiously-designed budget handheld started getting reactions from the internet almost immediately. Even just the headlines announcing the handheld anticipated bafflement or reacted to the console—we wrote that the 2DS name…
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. Whatever was drawn out…
Legate Lanius is a Fallout foe that was forged through blood—and this fan film by FalloutLanius tells his most gruesome story. From the YouTube description: On the brink of ruin, the Hidebark people are about to be wiped out by the slaving organization, Caesar’s Legion. However, their most ruthless warrior would prefer death to dishonour.…
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…
The final showdown: Hank versus Walt. Who wins, how will it all go down? Well, since people can’t stop asking Dean Norris, the actor behind Hank Schrader, how Breaking Bad will end, he took the liberty of writing a potential script for Funny or Die. And boy howdy, is it a hilarious one. Dean Norris…
Everyone’s talking about thetwerking/Blurred Lines performance from yesterday’s MTV VMAs, but here’s a different funny detail: the gift bags that celebrities got last night? One of the things included is an Ouya console according to Mashable. There’s other hilarious inclusions, of course—spot the ‘ENDING ADDICTION FOR GOOD’? Or the chocolate syrup? Man, what a random…
If you’ve been keeping up with Breaking Bad of late, it’s kind of amazing to compare Jesse as we know him now to the Jesse at the start of the show—nevermind seeing Rapture Productions‘s footage of Aaron Paul, the actor who plays the character, auditioning for said role. Ah, how things have changed. Breaking Bad…
Hmm: here’s Engadget‘s interview with EA’s Peter Moore, where he says that EA doesn’t make offline experiences anymore and free-to-play business models will be “part-and-parcel with every major franchise we do now.”
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…
If you’ve played a multiplayer game, maybe you’ve watched a scene like the one from this episode of Battlefield Friends by Hank and Jedunfold—one where a woman joins your match or squad, and all of a sudden the atmosphere changes. Archetypes appear. There are people who immediately (and uncomfortably) try to flirt. There are those…
