UncategorizedSmash Bros. Gets Modded with Dragon Ball Z
And, of course, it’s called Super Smash Bros. Brawl Z. Of course! As Smash Boards and Event Hubs point out, Japanese YouTuber InD Mark-2 has been uploading Smash Bros. mods with DBZ characters and move sets. (Though, the original mods are apparently from Brawl Vault Modders. The teen Gohan, for example, was done by CaliKingz01.)…

It’s Not An Action Movie Trailer, It’s A Taylor Swift Music Video
Yannick’s beloved Taylor Swift doles out weapons to every woman she knows and walks about in slow motion in her music video for “Bad Blood”, narrated by Kendrick Lamar. It’s about a dozen different movies I’d like to see set to a song that’s not quite as catchy as the other ones I’ve heard. Maybe…

CultureLost Planet Toys Are Better Than Most Lost Planet Games
Before the folks at Toy Notch got in touch with me about checking out their latest figures, I had nearly forgotten that Capcom’s Lost Planet series was a thing. This is how they remind me.

Apparently Snake’s box hiding box isn’t as fool-proof as we thought. Even Metal Gear Solid creator Hideo Kojima managed to spot it. It’s no secret the makers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic love their video game references, like last year’s BioShock Infinite Easter egg. And this isn’t the first time Metal Gear Solid…

It’s a psycho killer try-before-you-buy this weekend in Mortal Kombat X. If you bought the game but not the DLC, head over to MKX’s Living Towers this weekend to play as Jason Vorhees in what should have been a 13 round battle but ended up only being 6 because that’s no fun at all.
