Xbox One Blown Up, Shot By Sniper Rifle

As an Australian, I have little to give thanks for this Thanksgiving. So I’ll skip the turkey and instead give thanks for people who blow stuff up on YouTube using military-grade hardware. In this video from RatedRR, an Xbox One is destroyed twice over, as a .50 cal sniper rifle and a line of det…

Xbox 360 2013 Holiday Buyer’s Guide

Just because Microsoft has a new console doesn’t mean people aren’t still playing their 360s. Here are some suggestions for 360 shopping this year.

I Don’t Think I’ve Ever Swooned Over An Action Figure Before

Yearned for, yes. But swoon? It takes a rare figure – and a rare subject matter – to do that. Something Enterbay’s Bruce Lee piece does with ease.

Beyond Cosplay: A Normal Human Becomes Judge Dredd

The dude in the chair in this video is Nathan Claridge. He’s a regular, early 21st-century human being.

Angry Birds Go! Is Taking A Seriously Wrong Turn

It’s still a couple of weeks before the Angry Birds kart racing game hits mobile devices in North America, but it’s on New Zealand’s iTunes right now, and I’ve played it long enough to get very angry with it. Energy meters? Really? A lot of folks like to rip on the Angry Birds series for…

Thor Actor Visits Kid’s Hospital. In Armor.

Jaimie Alexander plays Lady Sif in the Thor movies. She recently visited the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles, but instead of going as Jaimie Alexander, she went as Lady Sif. Sword, armour, the works.
