Modern Warfare 3 Player Gets Angry Kid To Argue With Himself
This is trolling at its finest (or worst, really). A MW3 player gets into a smack-talking back and forth with what seems to be a young kid, and records it for funsies. Funsies eventually turns into YouTube user Darknessgta4 playing the recording back to the kid, after which he actually gets the kid to argue…

Ask For Baby Hadouken GIF, And Ye Shall Receive
The video we posted of a cute, giggling baby getting knocked out by his father’s hadouken was too adorable to not get the GIF treatment. You can thank our own Chris Person for the GIF creation. And now you can watch the baby fall over from a Street Fighter move on loop.

What Those Resident Evil Herbs Really Do
When done well, parody videos are great. They feel like an inside joke we can all nod our heads along with and be all, “Yeah, that is a pretty ridiculous thing we did in that video game that one time.” In the spirit of…today, Mega Land Games makes a spoof video of Resident Evil involving…

Guy Almost Makes A Glorious Knife Kill, Gets Denied By Trigger-Happy Victim
Scoring a knife kill in a first-person shooter is the ultimate insult to your victim. It’s one of the most satisfying kills, too. But it’s not always easy to pull off, as this Counter-Strike: Global Offensive player finds out. He looks to be basically on the camera-focused player’s shoulders, so close to getting that glorious…

Don’t Like Any Of The Games In The App Store? Make Your Own!
Canabalt? Pft. Make your own Canabalt, with art and level designs as you see fit. It’s not like the web-to-mobile game already has fitting art and great music. Sketch Nation Studio isn’t really a game, per se. It’s more like a mini game studio that you can fit in your pocket. It gives you the…

Turns Out Drunk Navi Is Just As Annoying As Sober Navi
I, like everyone else familiar with this beaten to death meme, am pretty tired of the “shit X says” videos. Regardless, the irony of featuring Navi for this video is enough to warrant another pass through the joke made popular on the Internet. Just like in Ocarina of Time, Navi can be helpful (or at…

It’s Silly When Video Games Try To Be Real
Video games can be pretty silly when you think about it. Save systems, over-the-top fashion designs, even entire concepts that a game is based on can make no sense outside of the video game world we’re familiar with.
