An Adventure Time x Pacific Rim Crossover Might Look Like This
Jake would make a good Jaeger, I think. Alas, this this illustration by Larry Quach isn’t directly connected to Pacific Rim—it’s just Adventure Time as a mecha show—but still. Your mind goes there too, right? Regardless, I’m sure we can all agree that Quach’s work is awesome. Here are a couple of in-progress screenshots for…

Aha, So THIS Is How You Get Toddlers To Stop Crying
It’s genius, what arfmoochikncheez has discovered. All he does to get his kid to stop throwing a tantrum is ask her to do something completely unrelated to what’s happening at the time, and boom! The tears are gone. Magic. Also, hilarious. Off-Topic is our nightly open thread where we show you something interesting beyond the…

One Way A Future Saints Row Game Could Be Even More Ridiculous
Between the dubstep guns and dildo bats, Saints Row is a pretty ridiculous franchise. You can’t help but wonder, where can the games possibly go next? Just how much more ridiculous can we get here? Is becoming more ridiculous even possible? Yes, yes it is. Let Dorkly show you how that is: The Future of…

Guy Hilariously Replaces Minecraft’s Sound Effects With His Voice
Now, modding the audio in a game like Minecraft isn’t so rare. But R2Bl3nd‘s custom sound effects—all of which are his own voice—are too fantastic not to share. Heck, it’s hard not to laugh as you watch this. This has been a work in progress since 2011, which means you might’ve seen something like this…

These Fake Pokemon Ads Will Make You Wish You Could Buy Rare Candy
First, there were Pokemon travel posters that advertised vacation locales around Kanto. Now Chuz0r adds to that through a variety of ads for items as well as locations we visit in the games—from antidotes to the Pokemon center itself.

This Guy Beat Ocarina of Time In Less Than Twenty Minutes. Record!
Ah, speed-runners who do the impossible. A few days ago, the world record for beating Ocarina of Time was nineteen minutes and twenty seconds according to Zelda Speed Runs.

Bodybuilding Forum Freaks The Heck Out Over Random Dude’s Love Life
Conventional “wisdom” often tells us there are people who are in our league, and people who are outside of it—and unless you reach a certain level of attractiveness, you probably can’t hope to date people outside of your range. To be clear: I think that’s all hogwash; I’m just repeating what some people believe when…

Here’s How This Xbox One Exclusive Will Do Microtransactions [UPDATE]

Maybe Pacific Rim Should Have Ended Like This
Sure, there wasn’t anything wrong with Pacific Rim’s ending (don’t worry, I’m not about to spoil it)—but really, the whole thing could have been much simpler. Heck, why not throw in some absurd cameos while we’re at it? That’s what HISHEdotcom would do, anyway. If I could change the ending, I’d probably kill genericbro Raleigh,…

A Retro Borderlands 2 Would Look Rad. Here’s Proof.
I don’t know about you, but if I had the chance to play a Borderlands game that looked like this conceptual piece by Olsonmabob I’d do it in a heartbeat. The art style is fantastic. Sure, it wouldn’t be an FPS anymore, but that may just make it more interesting! Like a Metal Slug or…

Video Game Asks Players To Bake Real Cakes For Virtual Girlfriends
You know how in-game romances go: you say whatever it takes to get your love interest. Usually, all you have to do is be nice to another character and willing to listen to their life story for like 30 minutes and boom, they’re in the bag forever. It’s not quite like that in Hate Plus,…

Microsoft Responds To Sony’s Recent Jab About The Xbox One
In an interview with Eurogamer today, Microsoft Studio’s vice-president Phil Spencer responded to recent criticisms from Sony, noting that Microsoft’s willingness to listen to its customers was a strength, not a shortcoming.

Conan O’Brien and J.Cole Play Splinter Cell, Let The Terrorists Win
Sure, Conan’s shtick is being a clueless gamer. But cmon, why does Sam Fisher initially forget to bring a gun when he goes after the terrorists? Clearly, this clip of Conan and rapper J. Cole playing through Splinter Cell: Blacklist was doomed from the start. Doomed to be hilarious, that is. Not sure if I…
