That HD remaster of The Last of Us sure looks great on a hi-def television. But on a standard TV, it looks downright spooky.

Too Many Super Smash Bros. 

It takes a lot to make a Smash Bros. crew, Kirby Ness and King Dedede too. Oh yeah, this is happening. Gamblor sends us his inevitable mash-up of Super Smash Bros.
