Nearly every game has them, one hit wonder weapons that can just flat out ruin your day if you find yourself on the receiving end. I’d go through and cite some examples, but I don’t want to ruin the surprises found in the video you’re about to watch.

It’s from Corridor Digital, and we’ve featured a few of their past gunfights here, but I have to say this is my favorite video they’ve ever done. Actually, it’s one of the best “Freddie Wong style” gaming videos I’ve seen since smaller video troupes started to have the budget and technology to make truly high quality shorts.

It’s pretty fun as it progresses, but there’s simply nothing that can top the final moments. You’ll see what I mean, and I’m sure all of you have experienced the devastating power of the final weapon at some point in your gaming careers.

I usually don’t post videos that are ten minutes long, because who has the attention span for that these days? But I’ll make an exception in the case of this GI Joe PSA compilation.

You may have seen one or two of these, but I doubt you’ve witnessed all of them before. The story is that there used to be short PSAs at the end of every GI Joe episode to promote safety among dumbass kids. Fenslerfilm came along and decided that they would be infinitely more hilarious with redubbing, and he was right.

Watch about to see “pork chop sandwiches!” and so much more. The full ten minutes is worth it.

Say goodbye to your lunch hour. Anyone with a humor bone in their entire body can appreciate Whose Line Is It Anyways? and I don’t need to extol its virtues here. Needless to say it’s one of the funniest shows ever made, and as it’s improv, things don’t always go according to plan.

This is 44 full minutes of bloopers from Whose Line, and I’m sure there are dozens of hours more. The show is funny when everything goes smoothly, but it might even be more hilarious when it doesn’t.

Did anyone watch that new improv show that had some of these guys that came back last year? I didn’t hear a singular word about it. Was it any good?

Perhaps it will hurt my geek cred to admit it, but I had no idea that a 1994 version of the Fantastic Four ever existed. It’s roughly in the same class as the old  Punisher, Spider-man and Captain America movies, but wow, it’s pretty bad. It feels like its more out of the ’60s than the ’90s.

It’s kind of insane to see  the transformation from this (actually unreleased) movie to the one a decade later in 2005. Sure, the budget was larger, but it seems EONS apart. The jump probably won’t be as severe by 2015, but still, you have to wonder what the big budget action movies of the near future are going to look like as technology continues to evolve.

Do actual copies of this exist anywhere? I kind of want to watch the whole thing.

A long time ago, I saw the first video in this series and thought it expertly filmed. A fan Fallout series that was actually well-made and funny? Get out of town! But then I forgot to keep checking back, and lo and behold they made an entire season that I missed.

Below I’ve posted Fallout: Nuka Break in its entirety. The episodes range from seven to sixteen minutes, and there’s only six of them, so it’s the perfect thing to pass your time at work for an hour-ish. What? Don’t tell me you actually have work to do. You wouldn’t be reading this otherwise.

Check out the series below. Anyone know when/if season two is coming? Continue Reading »

No, I don’t believe this is an official couch gag (though I couldn’t tell you as I haven’t watched the show in five years), but it’s a great illustration nonetheless.

Like The Simpsons here, I am also fully prepared for Diablo III. I pre-bought it through Blizzard and it’s already downloaded on my computer, just waiting to be installed on launch day. What? I don’t want to waste four hours download 7 gigs of game the day of launch. I’m already taking off that day of work to play (though with pre-posting article, you’ll never know).

Anyone taking time off from an actual office job to play Diablo? There’s got to be a few of you out there.

We often forget what it’s like to be a little kid, full of wonder and amazement and accepting everything around you as true. When Jurassic Park came out, I was old enough to understand that movies weren’t real, but what if I was a few years younger?

Little Zack has a life changing experience in this video when he learns that dinosaurs are REAL. Well, at least they appear that way. I’m not sure what a giant animatronic T-Rex is doing in the middle of the woods, but it convinces the two year old that it’s real. After a very, very delayed reaction, Zack decides its in his best interest to run. Adorableness quotient of the day met.

If you’ve seen enough superhero movies over the years, you’re very familiar with one move they seem to all do no matter what their power is: the three-point landing. It’s a signature for any hero, and though it’s usually sexier when it’s a lady, is practical for the fellas as well.

This video is a compilation of all the three-point landings that can be found across a host of superhero-themed films. I have to give the golden crown to Trinity in The Matrix: Reloaded. Debate her superhero status all you want (if Black Widow’s one, she’s one), but you can’t deny her style.

Fun fact, three points of contact with the ground are better than two, so this move isn’t just for style points the way it might appear.

Yeah I  know, most of our cosplay posts are purely pictures, and that’s usually the preferred format of the medium, but this? This is amazing.

It’s a cosplay show in China where they apparently take League of Legends even more seriously than we do. A number of university students got together to craft what is without a doubt the highest quality coordinated costume set across this huge a group of people that I’ve ever seen.

Obviously you have to know the characters to really appreciate it, and if you do, it’s easy to see how fantastic each of these outfits are. Individually they’d all be impressive, but this many as a group? Team cosplay of the year award, if such a thing exists.

I’m not sure I’ve ever actually covered the phenomenon of Seattle’s Phoenix Jones here on the site. He’s a real-life superhero who patrols the streets of Seattle in a stab-proof costume, and has been the feature of many a local news story out there for his heroics, which include stopping and reporting crimes.

Since his inception, there have been other costumed heroes that have joined him, but not there’s a new development that is putting this into full “Kick-Ass” territory. Even hero needs a villain, and now, Phoenix Jones has one. This surprisingly well-produced video introduces the world to its first proclaimed supervillain, Rex Velvet, a mustachioed troublemaker whose powers seem to include making rather cool videos.

How exactly is he going to mess with Phoenix Jones? I have no idea, but I bet someone is buying the movie rights to this already.
