This Is What Breaking Bad Would Be Like In An Alternate Reality
Well, technically, it wouldn’t even be called “Breaking Bad” anymore, it would be called “Making Good.” And in that (parody) version of Breaking Bad, Walter White actually gives up the meth game and takes up teaching as a means of paying for his cancer according to Thats Whats Up Comedy It’s funny in concept out…

Folks Are Paying An Absurd Amount For A Weed Emoticon On Steam
The introduction of theSteam Trading card system—which allows players to earn tradable badges, profile backgrounds, emoticons, and coupons on Steam by playing games—has created a most peculiar market of digital items that people are willing to pay lots of cash for. To wit: one of the more expensive “items” one can purchase is a weed…

Aww, When Villains Are This Cute, They Don’t Even Seem Evil
All you need to do to make someone seem less fierce is to catch them prancing around without a care in the world, like in this art by Mr. Florey. Do you recognize everyone? We’ve got cheery Cobra Commander, Beetlejuice, joyful Jason, Magneto, adorb Pennywise, Alien, lil’ Ganondorf, Voldermort, and playful Phoenix. You can buy…

Watch Shaft Be A Badass And Take On Minecraft
The mob is back in town, and there’s only one hero that can get to the bottom of it. Ever wonder what would happen if you dropped John Shaft into the world of Minecraft? Why, you’d get this blaxpoitation Minecraft parody by MachinimaPrime, of course. Mineshaft is one of the many upcoming fan-created films from…

So…after watching Fennekin, one of the starters in Pokemon X & Y, use the move “Glow Punch” in the latest Pokemon trailer, any bets on whether it is (or evolves into) a fire/fighting type…just like the last few fire starters? I’m sure that for many, the mere idea elicits a reaction much like the end…

“Gun Sync” Is An Awesome Way To Shoot Firearms In Call of Duty
I can’t imagine how long it must have taken videogames to sync their guns to the song featured in this Call of Duty video, but wow. Mind, I wasn’t particularly impressed until about the 1:15 mark—at which point it’s just like, woah. Talk about breaking it down. Here’s the song that this is being synched…

Let’s Be Real About Walkthroughs
Fact: websites like GameFAQs and game-specific Wikis are some of the biggest, most popular websites on the internet. Fact: a lot of gaming culture prides itself on the pursuit and overcoming of difficult challenges. Hmm. Doesn’t it seem like both of these shouldn’t be true at once? Looking up how to beat a game, after…

“Video Games Are The Next Big Religion”
How do you feel about the idea of gaming as religion? I wouldn’t blame anyone for feeling skeptical, and yet it’s difficult to disagree with many of the points Andy Robertson makes in this talk that compares gaming and religion. These things have a lot more in common than you’d think! I’m not sure I’m…

The Burliest Adventure Time Cosplayer Goes On A Badass Journey
A ton of people love to cosplay Adventure Time’s Finn, but I’m sure we can agree that Future Finn—or, as many know him, Bearded Finn—may be one of the beefiest. And as much fun as it’s been to see the man at cons or reblogged on Tumblr, given that he’s a Finn cosplayer, you’ve gotta…

If The Game of Thrones Cast Was Born In The 90s…
Then they’d probably look a little like these stereotypical 80s/90s characters, which are illustrated by the ever-talented Mike Wrobel Why these characters, and not other, more iconic ones? Well, this set of Game of Thrones characters are just a few in a long series of illustrations in this same spirit. You can see earlier characters…

Maybe Using Two League Champs At The Same Time Isn’t Such A Good Idea
Relying on your teammates can be a drag in a multiplayer game, and League of Legends is no exception. Wouldn’t it be great if you could just…handle everything in a match yourself? It’s a good idea in theory, but not so practical in execution for the average person. Not that that stops WQLFY from hilariously…

Know What Would Make Jedi Even More Awesome? Parkour.
Between lightsabers and usage of the Force, Jedi are already pretty cool. Even so, watching the folks at ronniestreetstunts free-run as Jedi over the desert is effin’ awesome. No lightsaber battles here for us to watch, though, alas. Star Wars Parkour – Jedi Free Running [ronniestreetstunts]

Of Course There’s A Sailor Moon Mod For Doom
Bless modders that make it possible to say there’s probably a mod for everything—including, in this case, a Sailor Moon mod for Doom 2. Here’s the gist, as captured by footage by BankaiIchigo12345: you get to play as our favorite magical girl herself, Sailor Moon. Naturally this means you can use the iconic Moon Stick.…

Modern Mario Has Blood, HD Graphics And…Dragons
Now, there’s nothing wrong with the original Super Mario Bros. It’s a classic. Still, I can’t help but gush over this “modern” take on the game by Deloix; it manages to bring Mario to 2013 without completely shedding its retro roots. At the very least, I’d play an HD remake that looked like this. I…

Breaking Bad’s Lead Actor Talks About Cosplaying As His Own Character
Last week, we all took notice of Bryan Cranston’s time at Comic-Con: the man behind Breaking Bad’s meth-making Walter White went around the convention wearing a mask of…well, Walter White. And on David Letterman last night, Cranston talked about what that whole experience was like. The reasons why he would do this are obvious: he’d…

Who’s Angrier: Call of Duty Fans Or One Direction Fans?
Last week, a patch hit Black Ops II that enraged some unreasonable Call of Duty fans so much, they started sending death threats to the game’s design director, David Vonderhaar. While unfortunate, it’s also not the only recent case of enraged fans spewing ridiculous threats at something. Yesterday, men’s fashion and style magazine GQunveiled the…

Somehow, This Fantastic The Last of Us Film Isn’t Official
Two days of shooting footage. One week of editing. It’s hard to believe that this small team was able to get The Last of Us so right as a film despite lacking the game’s huge budget, but they did. It’s curious, too, watching IRON HORSE CINEMA PRODUCTIONS‘s fan film. One of the biggest criticisms of…

Being An Adult Pokemon Trainer Must Suck
Imagine you’re an adult in the Pokemon world. You have a family, you have bills to pay, and you have a love for Pokemon. So you battle, even though it might not be the most “responsible” thing to do. You can swing it, right? Not when there’s a bunch of young punks going around who…

Iron Man 3 As A 16-Bit Game Looks Totally Rad
Unfortunately, this montage of scenes from what appears to be a retro Iron Man game aren’t real. They’re just a thing that started out as an art project by movieclipsTRAILERS, meant to showcase their appreaciation of Iron Man, retro games and the 1990s. Alas. I would have played that rad-looking game. At least now I…
