UncategorizedThe WarCraft Movie Trailer Is Much Better With WarCraft II Sound Effects
The upcoming WarCraft movie’s trailer, spiced up with 20-year-old sound effects by Robert Mermet. What could go wrong? Well, ditching the “epic trailer music” and adding classic .wav lines such as “Zug-Zug” or “Ready to serve” instead won’t make the clip less epic. It’s just… different… To contact the author of this post, write to:…

When Doge Is Good at Cosplay
Now, I don’t actually think these Shiba-inu made the costumes themselves. Or, at least, I don’t think they did. The amazing thing is that Twitter user C_Suzuki is able to get these two hounds to sit still for the photo. If you like Shiba-inu, check out C_Suzuki’s Twitter for more cosplay as well as photos…

Your 2016 Smite World Champions Are Not These Guys
These five gentlemen, collectively known as team Enemy, clawed their way into the 2016 Smite World Championship grand finals only to lose three straight games to Europe’s Epsilon, letting all of North America down. As punishment, they only get $230,000. I blame myself. Enemy (spelled all cleverly on their fancy shirts) were my favorite to…

After North America’s Enemy secured a spotin the Smite grand finals over Europe’s Paradigm, all eyes went to returning champions Cloud9. Then those eyes got really sad.
