Here’s the Cast of Mass Effect 3 As You’ve Never Seen
In another round of uncensored video games, Mass Effect 3 characters say some pretty odd things. I love the dialogue in BioWare’s games, but the funny, uncensored twist is great for laughs. Definitely breaks the tension of that whole “end of the world,” “the Reapers are coming” thing. Thanks, Mathue!

The Cutest Street Fighter Tournament Ever
Forget all the competitive, professional tournaments. This is the tournament I want to watch. NeoGAF user TheFightingFish uploaded this picture of his two adorable children, dressed up as Chun-Li and Ryu and fighting as Chun-Li versus Ryu. Although he didn’t win the arcade stick photo contest the photo originally appeared in, they win the day…

I Sunk 40 Extra Hours Into Mass Effect 2 To Salvage My Relationship With Thane
I haven’t played Mass Effect 3 yet. As a big fan of the franchise, I’ve been meaning to. But I had a very important task at hand before tackling the last game in the trilogy. I needed to replay Mass Effect 2 (Mass Effect 2 spoilers ahead.) In my first playthrough of the sequel, I…

Tupac Lives On In This Holographic Performance
Raise your hand if you miss Tupac. I certainly do. Fortunately the West Coast genius lives on in more than just memories and conspiracy theories of him still being alive. Proving just how iconic a rapper he was, the popular California-based music festival—Coachella—featured this hologram version of Tupac performing one of my favorites, “Hail Mary,”…

Pokémon Mod For Borderlands Is Actually a Great Idea
I love animal companions that fight on your side. The mabari you get in Dragon Age is a great example of why; they’re adorable, loyal, and not too shabby as fighters. Borderlands could also benefit from this concept. After all, skags are such a huge part of the universe that you might as well give…

That’s fine, because YouTube user ThereIsaCanal has uploaded a video of what…

Someone Please Build This Magical Kingdom of Disney Minecraft
I don’t think anyone can say they don’t like Disney World. But if it’s missing something, it’s certainly a Minecraft themed park. After all, the last time the resort received a major addition was in 1998. How cool would it be to walk through a pixelated universe with hired actors walking around as creepers? Whichever…
