UncategorizedBad Parkour Is The Best Parkour
YouTube and video games will show you that the human body is at its most mobile when it’s sliding under stuff and vaulting over other stuff. Which is all well and good, but it’s not like we can all just jump out of our chairs and start running across walls. Some of us just have…

New Zelda Wii U Screens Are Just, Ungh, Gorgeous
I know, we’ve already seen the demo in motion, but that didn’t afford us the luxury of gazing at HD stillness like these screens do. If Nintendo is on the level, and this is what the actual game can provide, then I am so far onto the hype train that I’m wearing one of those…

UncategorizedI’m Cool With One Of The Best Cartoons Of The Year Also Being An Ad
This is The Last Game. It’s a 5:28 animated short that is many things. It’s a commercial for Nike. More importantly, it’s a “World Cup” commercial for Nike when it’s not actually allowed to make official World Cup commercials (since that’s Adidas’ job). But I don’t care about any of those things.
