Turns Out Drunk Navi Is Just As Annoying As Sober Navi
I, like everyone else familiar with this beaten to death meme, am pretty tired of the “shit X says” videos. Regardless, the irony of featuring Navi for this video is enough to warrant another pass through the joke made popular on the Internet. Just like in Ocarina of Time, Navi can be helpful (or at…

Spin Up Will Make You Joyously, Frantically Dizzy
Spin Up mixes a lot of different influences into a fresh-feeling whole. It’s got a bit of Donkey Kong‘s ladder-climbing DNA spliced with the infinite running of Canabalt, only the perpetual movement’s vertical in this game. This may sound like a weird recipe but Spin Up hinges on a key difference that makes the game…

Skyrim‘s “Arrow in the Knee” Makes a Guest Appearance on NCIS
I used to think the CBS Naval Intelligence procedural NCIS was a show aimed squarely at the extremely mature crowd, until a recent episode took an arrow in the knee. So the NCIS writers were a little late to the party; they’ve got a production schedule to adhere to. The fact that they managed to…

Insane ‘Tube Transport’ Will Zip You From New York to L.A. In 45 Minutes
This ridiculous video envisions a hypothetical future much like the television show Futurama, in which humanity’s main method of travel is via super-fast transport tubes. Using these tubes, patented by the folks at ET3, you could hypothetically travel around the entire world in six hours. Six hours! Now all they need is money to build…

These Wonderful Drawings Of New Video Game Ideas Barely Make Sense
Some video games operate around incredibly innovative ideas and it’s natural that the people behind them would want to patent them. And while those awesome ideas gets explained in page after page of text, sometimes it’s just better to draw how a mechanic is going to work. However, some of the people submitting patent applications…

The Best New Feature In The Next Medal of Honor Might Be… a Wife
Over a month ago, I saw the new Medal of Honor. Over a month ago, I sighed. We are stuffed with first-person shooters like a summer mosquito is stuffed with blood, and at times I consider my interest in these things just about sucked dry. I feel that on my cynical days, which I guess…

Sly Cooper 4 Won’t Be Having Any Wardrobe Malfunctions with These Clever Costume Changes
You know, I never realized how much I missed Sly Cooper until I recently laid hands on an in-development build of the master thief’s upcoming game. There’s a particular charm in how the larcenous raccoon created by Sucker Punch manages to combine stealth, humor and platforming into an attractive whole. I mean, I hate raccoons…

Believe it or Not, Journey and Hip-Hop go Very Well Together
The moody, desolate affair that is Journey isn’t an obvious choice for a hip-hop remix, but it’s got one anyway. Don’t worry. It’s been tastefully done. Raheem Jarbo, aka Mega Ran, is solely on production duties here (so no rapping), remixing four tracks from Austin Wintory’s amazing score and putting the resulting EP up for…

The Ripping Yarn of the “Xbox Paedophile Predators”
I’m usually loathe to post “hey mainstream tabloids are crazy” stories here, but a piece on the front page of the latest Metro, a free newspaper handed out on public transport in Britain, is too good to ignore. The headline? “Xbox paedophile predators ‘move in on prey within two minutes of contact'” There’s of course…
