In 2002, someone on GameFaqs discovered something curious: there was a coin in Super Mario 64 on a course called Tiny-Huge Island. Not just any coin, though. This coin was different from all the other 191 coins on the level, because unlike the other coins, you couldn’t actually collect it. The coin on Tiny-Huge island…

The Ultimate Stunting Tutorial is a tremendous effort by dozens of people who came together in the name of doing awesome stuff in the original Halo. Flips. Explosions. Balancing acts. Vehicle launches. Defying physics. UST has it all. Best of all, as the name implies, the video series—which takes place entirely in Blood Gulch—teaches you…
The first time someone paused a match of Dota 2, I was shocked.I didn’t know pausing was possible. I remember thinking to myself, wow, what the hell? What’s happening? Am I seriously playing a multiplayer game that people can pause? Games have done stuff like this before, that’s true. But as I sink more time…
Dota 2 has been out in the wild for a while now, and this has given players ample time to reflect on the game and its virtues. Or, more accurately, it has given folks time to find the best ways to joke around about Dota 2‘s quirks and playerbase. Enter the ever-amusing (and sometimes eyebrow-raising)…
You know what would make Magikarp more amazing? No, not a mega evolution. We already have that. Magikarp should have a Primal Reversion in Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire. Yes, I know that’s an absurd idea…but think about it. Previous descriptions for Magikarp have hinted that it used to be stronger in ancient times, as…
Now that Pokémon X & Y have been out for a while, we’ve revisited our expert list of Pokémon rankings. Here is the new list—it takes into account all the new Pokémon and it uses highly advanced science.
Who knows, maybe Rockstar will add zombie DLC to GTA Online—but modders aren’t waiting around for it to drop. Instead, they’re going ahead and just adding zombies into the game themselves. While there are a few floating around on the web, this particular zombie outbreak mod comes from Chr0m3xMoDz. It’s not the most elaborate, fleshed-out…
The law is the law in Watch Dogs. If you break it, you’re getting gunned down—regardless of whether or not you happen to be human. Or at least, that’s what happens in this video by Tom Schneider where the police obsesses over trying to shoot down a car. Likely nothing more than an isolated bug,…
Comic-Con 2014 had a lot of great cosplay,but what really stole the show for me was all the adorable kid attendees in their cosplay outfits. It’s almost too much. Patrick (H) Willems has a clip featuring interviews with many of these cosplayers, and it’s a joy to hear them tell us about their costumes. The…
Last weekend, a tournament called Zenith was held at the NYU Game Center.Top Smash Bros. players participated in the tourney, and while it’s all worth watching, one particular moment made the crowd go wild. It’s all thanks to a well-timed Captain Falcon punch. Fast-forward to about the 9-hour and 30 minute mark. Alternatively, simply watch…
Maybe you’ve played Ocarina of Time before. Maybe you’ve watched some speedruns of the game, too. But Ocarina of Time has so many glitches, there is still plenty in the game that you’ve probably never seen before. If you have seventeen minutes to spare, you should definitely watch this video by A+Start—it highlights the best…
Give people the power to stage their own screenshots, as The Last of Us: Remastered does, and something magical happens. Artistic, even. Folks like AlphaPot, who snapped the stern-looking Joel above, are putting the new photo mode to good use. Sometimes this means taking pictures of ridiculous things like Joel’s teeth.But most of the time,…
If you happened to be in Yokohama yesterday, then you might have noticed something incredibly adorable: a small “outbreak” of real-life Pikachu roaming around, being all cute. It wasn’t random happenstance. What you see in this video by Pokémon-France was a part of an event where a special Pikachu was distributed to players in Japan.…
Cosmo Wright has the current world record for beating Ocarina of Time quickly, with a playthrough that clocks in at eighteen minutes and ten seconds. Even if you’ve watched the incredible near-perfect run before when we initially posted it, it’s worth watching through again just to hear his excellent commentary. Wright explains the history behind…
People are really putting the photo mode in The Last of Us: Remastered to good use. Who knew Joel’s teeth had such a high level of detail? I bet he flosses. (Via BurnYourLifeDown)
You gotta love Counter-Strike chickens. Even when they get in the way, the result is hilarity. …and also tragedy. At least that’s the case Mr.JeanJeans, who gets killed by an enemy player because of a Counter-Strike chicken. A typical chicken matchmaking [Mr.JeanJeans]
Sometimes, you just gotta put the controller down and deal with real life, regardless of whether or not the game actually lets you pause. I get it. But if you idle in Destiny, well, there’s no telling what players might do to you in response. Check out this clip by rarbox5, which shows how players…

Players find new ways to create chaos in Grand Theft Auto all the time—and glitches can definitely be a part of that. Take, for example, this weird grenade launcher glitch in GTA Online. Turns out, if you punch a car while holding a grenade launcher, it will explode in a random number of hits. Folks…
