UncategorizedHey, The Walking Dead Is Finally Funny
I’ve actually stopped watching The Walking Dead, because I couldn’t stand the constant despair. Even the bleakest shows need to lighten up every now and again! Maybe I’d drift back if the series could introduce more musical numbers like these.

Why Weren’t These Guys Fighting On Endor? The Empire Might Have Won!
You’ve got to think that one of the main reasons Imperial troops got their asses handed to them on Endor was their camouflage. Or, lack thereof. That glossy white armour plating doesn’t exactly make you blend in with the forest surroundings. This is a Swamp Trooper, but that colour palette could easily have worked among…

New RPG Is A Love Letter To Fallout, XCOM & FTL
It’s called Bedlam, and it’s a post-apocalyptic RPG with Fallout‘s ramshackle vibe, XCOM-style gameplay, and gorgeously detailed animated art. There’s also permadeath, marauders, mutants, and cyborgs. I like all of those things! First up, here’s the elevator pitch—straight from a world where elevators may well have gone extinct centuries ago: “The player is cast as…

UncategorizedYou, Too, Can Make A Car Look Like It’s Going Back To The Future
Crazy computerized effects? Back in Back To The Future‘s day, they didn’t have those. Only pluck and spirit (and time travel). That means that with a few lights and some clever camera work, you can make a toy car look like its blasting through the barriers of space-time at 88 mph. This video comes from…

UncategorizedLearning To Love Items In The New Smash Bros.
When I was first introduced to Smash Bros. back in college, there was an unspoken mutual understanding between all my friends: no items. Mind, it was never anything as serious as the infamous F ox-Only-Final-Destination-No-Items deal; I don’t even think most super hardcore Smashers play like that, regardless of how fond everyone seems to be…
