The Amazing Fake Websites Of Law & Order
Law & Order is enjoyable in its way, but it’s no secret that the long-running crime show has a… spotty relationship with the internet. When they’re not slamming video games, they’re painting the web as some booga-booga monsterland filled with the weirdest, most ridiculous websites a person could imagine. This outstanding supercut from Slacktory assembles…

BioShock Infinite vs. Dishonored: The Comparison We Had To Make
A beautiful city with a seamy underbelly. A girl in danger. Weird magic. Beheadings. Junk food.

This Super Mario Warp Pipe Lamp Is Ready to Light Up Your Life
Yes, this Mario figure on this lamp (found on Etsy) is the key to making a gamer-friendly lighting fixture. But the thing that makes it awesome to me is that rugged-looking pipework.

I Hope Mewtwo’s New Form Has A Magical Girl Transformation Sequence
There’s a new, mysterious Pokémon that looks suspiciously like Mewtwo. We don’t know much about it, though judging by appearance alone, it’s hard to fault anyone for thinking the Pokémon is a new Mewtwo form. And if that’s the case, I hope Mewtwo transforms into the new Pokémon like in this short video by alypkm.…

Hey, Did You Notice These Things About BioShock Infinite?
We like to talk about video games. A lot. Sometimes we do it on camera, like on The Gameological Society‘s The Digest video series. But, even then we can’t get all our thoughts and observations in. So we’re kicking off a new feature called: Did You Notice? Think of it as a sort of commentary…

Three New JRPGs Are Out Today
The deadest genre just continues to get deader as three—yes, three!—new Japanese role-playing games hit U.S. shores today. There’s Pandora’s Tower, an action-RPG that might just be the last big Wii release ever. End of an era. I’ve spent a couple hours with Pandora’s Tower, and I think it’s fun so far, although I wish…

Show Us What You Love and Hate About Solid Snake’s Character Design
There are times when an expressive character design works the best. That’s how I’ve always felt about the art of the Metal Gear series — it’s emotional, dramatic and implies so much about its characters simply by how it’s drawn. Of course, you might disagree with me. Using our image annotation system, show us what…
