UncategorizedYou Are Probably Not As Good At Bowling As This Guy
Ten consecutive strikes, all thrown backwards, in a game with a final score of 280. It’s a world record! The bowler in the video above by RecordSetter is Andrew Cowen, from Rockford, Illinois. Isn’t his form just fantastic? I barely have proper form when trying to bowl normally, heh. Here’s what Cowen had to say…

UncategorizedXbox One Troll Tricks People Into Using Skype
With Xbox One trolling becoming such a thing, you’d think that people populating Call of Duty lobbies would have caught on by now—but sometimes, sheer rage just gets the better of us all. In that case, yelling out the gamertag of the person that’s angering you makes sense—it just so happens that when the person…

UncategorizedSonic The Hedgehog Rap. Need I Say More?
There are certain times where the less is said about something, the better. This Sonic the Hedgehog themed rap is one of those times. Labyrinth Zone Act 1 is just…fascinating. It’s like baffling outsider art about Sonic the Hedgehog. It’s no Unknown From M.E., but just let it sit with you, in all its strangeness.…

Thank God For Handheld Game Consoles
Oculus VR, the company purchased by Facebook this week for $2 billion, brings to life a childhood fantasy, if your childhood fantasy was strapping a big black box on your head and trying not to vomit. I guess that’s a little mean. Lots of people love the idea of Oculus Rift, which by many accounts…

The Original Pokémon Games, Recreated In Old-School SimCity. Dang.
Remember SimCity 2000? It was my go-to game in computer class back in middle school—and this is that it had nothing to do with another love at the time, Pokémon. Who knows how obsessed I’d be with SimCity if it had anything to do with Pokémon? The map above—which you can’t appreciate unless you see…

Titanfall and the Modern First Person Shooter
The evolution of first-person shooters has come a long way in the last few decades, but some might say that in recent years the genre has grown stale with age and over-saturation. If anything, though, this perceived stagnation has spurred the game development community to find fresh ways to innovate. Taking the now-popular “add more…

A Shooter That You’ll Play in Two-and-a-Quarter Dimensions
You’re going to experience the next game from the folks who made OlliOlli in a different way. Not in two dimensions. Not in two-and-a-half dimensions. In two-and-a-quarter dimensions. Let’s get some perspective on that, shall we? Not a Hero‘s the next game from the Roll7 development studio, who notched a hit with their Vita-first side-scrolling…

These Are Not The Cute Childhood Characters I Remember
DeviantART illustrator Tohad just can’t stop. He has to go through the 80s and the 90s (and our childhood), brutally altering every single character, whether it’s from a cartoon, a video game or a comic book. Just look what he did with poor ALF. He’s not the lovely alien neighbour anymore. Also, the name ‘Chuckie’…
