Go here to see counter-intuitive tricks to beat game shows.

“In many ways, game shows are just like psychological experiments. Scientists love to exploit our logical blind spots to show just how irrational human beings will act in the right circumstances. Of course the scientists can sleep well at night knowing that they’re only making anonymous subjects look stupid in the name of progress, while game shows make people look stupid on national TV so we can laugh at them while they lose money.”

Skyrim Valentine’s aren’t your thing? That’s fine, but you can’t deny how adorable this NES-theme card is.

The best part? You can download it and print it for yourself here (click on the picture). Mega Man’s crush on Samus Aran is sure to melt any girl gamer’s heart. Or just confuse a non-girl gamer and make her think you’re into robots, so be careful.

Uh, wow.

So many of you probably liked Skyrim, but may have been let down by the climactic battle of the game which was…(spoiler) another dragon fight. Yay! Yes, it was in Sovengaarde and you have ancient Nord heroes helping you hack away at it, but there was still little that differed from past encounters.

Now THIS is what the climactic battle of Skyrim should have been. This seven minute short film shows an epic Skyrim battle between skeletons, wraiths, dwarves, undead dragons and a good and evil Dragonborn. It’s quite simply the most epic video I’ve ever seen to come out of the game, and the damn official mod tools aren’t even out yet. This is truly an amazing creation, and any fans of the game should appreciate it as much as I did.

It’s amazing to me that this long after Pokemon has been released (the originals), people are still discovering new insane things about it. I though MISSINGNO was crazy enough, but this game has more urban legends and true mysteries to uncover than I think any other.

This graphic shows players how to get to “glitch city,” a secret and creepy part of the map. No, it might not help you level up all your Pokemon to 100, but it’s one of those mysteries you can’t help but wanting to explore.  Like that far away army base on the dam level of Goldenye. You just want to figure out a way to GO there.

Glitch city is complicated to get to, but redditor JpDeathBlade has the guide to get you there below. Try it for yourself if you’re feeling brave.

Another week, another new show consumed and ready for digestion. Over the past year, I’ve been on a decidedly British kick, with Misfits, Sherlock and Doctor Who (well, two seasons of it) under my belt. I’ve loved them all to various degrees, and so I was ready to accept another UK recommendation, Luther, with open arms.

It was suggested to me by a couple of readers when I was talking about these previous shows, and Idris Elba, whom I’ve loved since The Wire, actually just won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of troubled cop John Luther. Surely, a recipe for success.

Luther is by no means a bad show. It’s very well made, well acted and a few of the story arcs are actually quite gripping. At only ten episodes total across two seasons, it manages to be a serial that allows for stories that are more complex than a 40-minute murder mystery.

(To truly respect this piece, I need the reader to forget This Means War is about to be in theaters. He made ONE cheesy romantic comedy, and we have to immediately forgive him and pretend it didn’t happen or this piece won’t work. Please, trust us. He is a brilliant actor. We can prove it to you.)

Christopher Nolan is a casting genius. Some people may argue that, some may agree. But I am not leaving it open for debate. I am TELLING you. When he cast Heath Ledger as The Joker, you could hear the collective sighs of fanboys all the world over, groaning in disapproval. I can say that because I was one of them. But upon viewing that film, and moreover, that character, I was more floored than I had been in some time by his performance. He scared me. He unsettled me. He intrigued me. He effortlessly swallowed the scenery in every moment he was in. Actors disappeared around him. And after that film, everyone was talking about his run as The Joker. Christopher Nolan knew this would be a result of this performance. He had written his Joker that way. He had us in his hand the whole time.

In celebration of…err wait, celebration isn’t the right word. In mourning of The Phantom Menace’s 3D re-release this week, here’s a set of posters that shows how the film could have gone if anyone with proper artistic sensibilities had been involved.

They’re from Travis English, and show nearly all of the major characters from the new trilogy. Surprisingly missing is Anakin himself, but as boy version and adult version were two of the most annoying movie characters in history, it’s probably best we just forget about him, even if the entire series is about him.

UPDATE: Nevermind, found Anakin and a few more. Thankfully, still no sign of Jar-Jar.

See the gallery below:

I’m not sure how I never mentioned this movie but boy was that a mistake.  When you’re talking cheesy 80s Sylvester Stallone movies Over The Top should definitely be a top five choice.   Here’s a quick little synopsis in case you haven’t seen the film.

Lincoln Hawk (Stallone) is a struggling trucker who’s trying to rebuild his life. After the death of his wife, he tries to make amends with his son who he left behind years earlier. Upon their first meeting, his son doesn’t think too highly of him until he enters the nation-wide arm wrestling competition in Las Vegas.

Ah and let’s not forget that his son was attending military school and is a complete brat.   And another thing.  His name is Lincoln Hawk!  I mean come on.  How awesome is that?  The movie is filled with ridiculous lines, scenes, and of course funny faces because of the arm wrestling.

Let’s just say you will be highly entertained as you might from seeing a cheesy Arnold Schwarzenegger film when Arnie was ginormous.  Anyway, the trailer is after the jump…..

Since Cosplay has become a staple on this website I figured that from time to time it might be appropriate to pay homage to some of the more impressive and dedicated cosplayers that we see on the internet.

With that said we recently came across a female cosplayer (we’ll be featuring males too) on Deviantart by the name of Sage Bell.    This is what Sage has to say about herself:

Looking to create masterpieces. Stunning works of art. Through networking with amazing photographers/hair stylists/Make-up artists/ and Clothing Designers. Even other models books. Take a look and lets create something amazing.

And amazing she does.   Take a look at Sage’s costumes after the jump….

“Star Wars in 3D?  A Spiderman reboot?  A million and one reality competitions ripped off of previous versions of the same show?  It gets tiring.  If new ideas are so had to think up, then may we suggest at least adapting your rip off to a new venue and changing the tone? ”

Go here to see them.
