No Hands, Pants On!

Pants. I don’t like them, but I have to wear them. I’m sure some of you feel the same too. And putting on pants has always been so boring. At least until now! Blowing up online in Taiwan is a new video starring Taiwanese internet sensation Lai Lai Ge. Literally, his online handle is “Come…

Peter Dinklage Is So Not Done Recording Lines For Destiny

As funny as it was in places, actor Peter Dinklage – who we know can really punch out some great lines – gave a surprisingly terrible performance in the Destiny Alpha. But it’s OK! He’s got plenty of time to make things right. Destiny developers Bungie have provided a FAQ following the game’s alpha, and…

Just so you know, actor Mark Ruffalo – of The Avengers fame – has a favourite Pokémon. And that favourite Pokémon is Squirtle.

Help Me, I’m Getting Excited About Next-Gen Hair

Last year’s FIFA was good, but when I got the game again on Xbox One (I originally reviewed the last-gen version), I was a little disappointed. Aside from 3D crowds, it didn’t seem very next-gen. Maybe a bunch of grass effects and fancy hair can change that. Some of the stuff in this clip is…

Even Portal Turrets Like Game of Thrones

How do the infamously talkative turrets from Valve’s puzzle phenom Portal express their love of Game of Thrones? Why, through song, of course. Glorious harmonies, soaring shotgun blasts of sound. And ineffectual wiggling. I want to see Companion Cubes next. Yep, so there’s my daily dose of cute. I think I need to go eat…

Community Revived For Sixth Season By Yahoo

Greendale lives on. The folks behind Community announced today that they’ll be making a sixth season with Yahoo, following their TV cancellation earlier this year. No word when the nerdy cult classic will come back or where we’ll be able to watch it, but at least “six seasons and a movie” is still a very…

A Message From Level 1 Boss

Despite what probably amounts to years of experience facing what must be thousands of intrepid heroes, the Level 1 Boss you find in most RPGs is usually fairly predictable and weak. And while the heroes continue to level up and earn status and gear in their communities, Level 1 Boss never makes any kind of…

​Pokémon‘s Pallet Town Has Never Sounded So Smooth

Everyone loves video game town themes. They’re so relaxing; there’s no need for tension or strife, because we’re safe at home. We don’t have to fight battles or solve puzzles; it’s time to take it easy. The Pallet Town theme from Pokémon Red/Blue/Yellow is a particularly relaxing town theme, and it’s made all the more…

Captain America Celebrates The Country’s Most Horrible Statistics

With Independence Day right around the corner, Fox’s Animation Domination mixes a comic book icon with horrible U.S. statistics to make everyone a little more depressed. Statistically speaking, every country in the world could have one of these songs made about them, tailored towards their worst qualities in order to sound as terrible as possible.…
