Marvel has given us so many awesome superheroes over the years—that’s worth celebrating, right? Here’s a cool animated homage to Marvel by Vimeo user Blackmeal that does just that. Since the characters are so iconic, I trust it wont be difficult to know what’s being referenced when. (Via Laughing Squid)
Recent years have seen fewer games include multiplayer, according to the Penny Arcade Report Did you notice?
We all need to learn how to be human beings. Some of us may need more help than others, and that’s arguably why this “advanced kissing techniques” video exists—so, while I’m sure it fills a need, just…oh my god. No, just no. Why? The kicker is, it’s not the only video like it. Look at…
First there was Nic Cage on Pokemon, and THAT was strange enough. Or so you’d think. Turns out that Pokemon’s faces can get a little more alien, all with the help of the Pokebatchichooseyou Tumblr. Yes, that’s Benedict Cumberbatch’s face, superimposed onto Pokémon. Here are some more: Really, using Pokémon as a template for other…
Poor Luigi, always in Mario’s shadow. Even when Luigi set off on his own ghost-wrangling adventure in Luigi’s Mansion over a decade ago, it was still as though he was defined by Mario’s absence. The game dedicated a whole button to calling out Mario’s name! In the new 3DS sequel Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, the…
Telltale’s The Walking Dead is coming to the PlayStation Vita later this year according to IGN.
If it’s a big-budget game, you can (cynically) count on at least one thing: a stoic-looking guy incorrectly holding a gun on the cover. It’s a trend in the same way blue-orange movie covers are a trend. Covers rarely break that mold, but according to Gamespot, Quantic Dream is doing it with Beyond: Two Souls.…
Looks like Audiosurf Air is taking a few notes from SSX judging from this trailer.
Nic Cage’s face must go on everything. It’s the law. Not even Pokémon are exempt. Someone started a Pokémon x Nic Cage Tumblr and it is glorious. They’re going through the original 151 Pokemon, and so far what they’ve created is amazing. Check it out: You can view more…uh, Cagemon? Over at this here Tumblr.…
If you’ve played a game online, chances are you’ve experienced ragers in their full extreme, screaming glory. So it shouldn’t be surprising that even top-level players rage, as Eurogamer discovered. Here is a compilation of (sometimes celebratory!) rage moments during a European Call of Duty championship. One of the competitors notes that raging is done…
You might recall that Volition was acquired by Deep Silver after the bankruptcy of THQ. You might also recall that Deep Silver are the people responsible for the highly unpalatable severed torso that came packaged with some of the collector’s editions of Dead Island: Riptide Hence, they will also be responsible for the collector’s edition…
Battlefield players have found all sorts of awe-inspiring ways to do stunts with dirt bikes. But this one takes the cake when it comes to how much air the player grabs, not to mention the rather dramatic ending. Good teamwork, t4ct1x1. After all—this wasn’t errant luck. The YouTube description says that the player had his…
A Life Well Wasted is one of the best gaming podcasts out there. There is a new episode, finally. Tune in here.
What happens when you turn Pokémon Snap into a dramatic movie full of hardship, triumph and betrayal? This video by GrittyReboots happens—and, as ridiculous as the concept sounds, they manage to make it work. I’d say I want to go play Pokémon Snap now, but it wouldn’t hit the same notes as this movie now…
There are some things we can rule out with when musing over what George R.R. Martin might develop for HBO now that he has a two year contract with them. Certainly not something comedic, he’s not that type of guy. A Game of Thrones prequel of sorts though? Maybe, according to this interview with IGN…
Ready for the future? Those with an Oculus Rift developer kit will be able to tinker with virtual reality in Team Fortress 2: to access the VR mode, all you have to do is add “-vr” to your command line options in Steam. From there on out, things sound a little intense according to the…
Slenderman: scary, yes? Possibly the last thing I’d expect while playing something other than a Slenderman game. Oh, but he’s out there, waiting, in Runner2 according to this video by Epsilonic Kind of the last place I’d expect him (it?) to appear, to be honest—then again, I’m not too far into the game myself. Slender…
How much does the internet love Valve’s Gabe Newell? Enough to regularly draw fan art of the man, apparently. I’ve never seen anything like it. Here’s a collection of some of the coolest, weirdest, most WTF Gabe Newell fanart on the web (that we could find). The leading image up there? It’s by DarrenGeers on…
It’s that time of year again—the time of year when someone links me a Space Jam mash-up and I fall into a terrifying black hole of WELCOME TO THE JAM again. I’m dragging you down with me this time, dear reader. I’m so sorry (…wait, no I’m not). This had to happen. Here’s a collection…
Ars Technica reports that a vulnerability on Origin, the game platform by EA, has been found. It’s an exploit that allows Origin to become an “attack platform” that can install malware on your computer.
