CultureOdds and EndsZelda Speedrunner Beats Breath Of The Wild With His Feet
Speedrunner Joedun is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to doing the unthinkable in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Not content to have a top 10 time when it comes to 100 percenting the game, he decided to do it again earlier this month without taking any damage. Now…

CultureOdds and EndsThe ‘All Your Base Are Belong To Us’ Video Is Now 20 Years Old
The early aughts were a weird time. George H. W. Bush’s loser son somehow became president, god-awful bands like Crazy Town and Staind had songs on the Billboard Hot 100, and we made do with, like, one meme a year. In 2001 that meme was “All Your Base,” a Newgrounds video that ironically celebrated the…

CultureOdds and EndsPlease, Just Let Me Be The Dog
There’s a new game out. It lets you play as a dog (or wolf I guess, but whatever). But then, throughout the game, it turns you back into a human against your will. Hey, stop that. Video game. Stop. Let me be the dog, please. Werewolf: The Apocalypse – Earthblood isn’t great. It’s a lot…

CultureOdds and EndsDance Team Perfectly Recreates Apex Legends Character Intros
Monster Hunter Dancers, a dance group in Japan, has recreated some of the character intros featured in Apex Legends during the selection process before a match. It’s fantastic. As you might expect with a dance group, the video features dancing after the intros. I wish Apex Legends randomly loaded into a dance battle, sounds like…

CultureOdds and EndsThose Are Strawberries (Not Hearts) On Arthur’s Boxers In Ghosts ‘N Goblins
Ghosts ‘n Goblins creator Tokuro Fujiwara recently shared a mind-blowing factoid from the development of Capcom’s fiendishly hard platformer: Arthur’s iconic heart-patterned boxers are actually covered in strawberries. Okay, maybe it’s just mind-blowing to me. “There’s one very important detail I need to share with you that people might not know: the pattern on his…

CultureOdds and EndsMy Son Inadvertently Designed A Metroid Xbox Series X/S Controller
Overwhelmed by the options available at custom controller shop Mega Modz, I turned to nine-year-old Seamus Fahey for design advice. What at first seemed like a completely arbitrary selection of colors and buttons coalesced into this purple, green, red, and orange homage to Metroid, a series that will never be officially playable on an Xbox.…

CultureOdds and EndsLance Reddick Is Now Voice Acting Destiny Memes
Lance Reddick is a famous actor, with major roles in The Wire and John Wick, among other things. He’s also the voice of Destiny’s Commander Zavala, and apparently not above granting fan requests to voice act the memes they send him.

CultureOdds and EndsLara, You’re Drunk
When Core Design and Eidos Interactive were getting ready to ship Tomb Raider III in 1998, they recruited Lara Croft herself to promote the game. The resulting animation was…something else. It’s hard to overstate just how big a deal Lara Croft was in her heyday. Sure, she’s gotten all gloomy and grimy recently, but you…

CultureOdds and EndsThe First Character You Meet In Half-Life Is Gus The Forklift Driver
You probably know Gordon Freeman is, the silent protagonist of the Half-Life games. And I’m guessing you know other Half-Life characters, like Alyx Vance, Dr. Kliner, the mysterious G-Man, and Barney. But a recent YouTube video pays homage to the very first character you encounter in Half-Life: Gus the forklift driver. YouTuber MarphitimusBlackimus makes videos…
