UncategorizedTeens Agree: The Internet Was Pretty Stupid In The ’90s
To be fair to the teens in The Fine Bros. latest video, the internet was pretty stupid in the ’90s — slow, stunted and subject to one of the worst instructional videos ever made. I am speaking of the infamous “The Kids’ Guide to the Internet”, a horrid video from 1997 meant to inform children…

At Least One Good Toy Came From Transformers: Age Of Extinction

Cheeseburger Pop-Tarts May Contain Dark Magic
Self-professed ‘burger pervert’ Matthew Ramsey of the completely evil PornBurger has fashioned meat, cheese, bacon jam and sesame seed pastry into what he is calling “I Can Haz Pop Tart.” I will not be convinced the dark arts weren’t involved.

UncategorizedThe Honest Game Trailer For Candy Crush Saga Is Justly Brutal
Smosh Games gives everyone’s second-favorite bathroom game the Honest Trailers treatment, brutalizing Kings’ innocent candy-swapping game, which never did nothing to no one.

UncategorizedThere’s Something Special About Atlanta Cosplay
Atlanta cosplayers are just the best, and they proved it at last weekend’s MomoCon. Man Tifa? Done. Kingdom Hearts Batman? No problem. Solid Snake sneaking behind Mega Man? How many would you like?
