If Sony had a Playstation All-Stars racer, similar to Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing and Mario Kart, it'd probably look like this. The creators, Max and Leonardo, pretty much included everyone, as you can see in the full pic below. This would be Wacky Races level of chaotic racing. Read more

Here's the Crusader's "Steed charge" skill, from Diablo III: Reaper of Souls. That's gotta be one of the most badass-looking skills so far in the game, next to Whirlwind and the Wizards' Disintegrate.

If you had any doubt that the cult of Helix fossil, one of the "religions" formed around Twitch Plays Pokémon, is a serious thing, here's proof. Someone sprayed this masterpiece recetnly on a seemingly useless cement block, in front of a school. This must be one of those moments when graffiti becomes art instead of… Read more

Almost nailed it! The Achievement Hunter crew is back on track with GTA V, and they're really pushing the limits of possible stunts this time.
