Rocket League Goal Is Painful To Watch

The good thing about Rocket League goals is that they don’t require the best players out there to end up being awesome. Or painful. Or both. Zer0Ping’s footage is probably both. It’s seriously hard to count all the misses. There are so many of them. To contact the author of this post, write to: [email protected]

Minecrafters Built The Best-Looking Homes out of a Simple Block

Planet Minecraft’s first solo contest, Penthouse, Sweet!, came to an end recently. Appropriately enough, the results are quite sweet. Players were tasked with taking the simple structure found on the contest map, which looked like this, basically a metal block: And decorating its interior to make it into a proper penthouse suite. Apart from the…

Look At This Metal Gear Solid V Action Figure

The world has never been short of Metal Gear Solid action figures. So it takes a lot for one to stand out and make me think, OK, that’s a really nice figure. Just look at him! The sculpt (which goes stylised without deviating too far from the source material), the articulation, the detail…amazing. That paradise…

Uh…dang, dude. This is some heavy stuff. Floating around Mario Maker is a quick level made by “P Morty” titled “My Wife.” You can watch a ‘playthrough’ of it below: Spelled out in coins are four simple words. “My wife left me.” Could be a prank—Wii U owners have traditionally used Miiverse to say all…

Because All GTA V Ever Needed Was More Skyrim

I mean, why wouldn’t a dragon ditch Skyrim for Los Santos. There’s way more stuff to blow up. This cute clip is by Pinkman. And no, I don’t know why the Dragonborn is wearing such a naff jacket either.
