Chelsea's Favorite App Of The Week!

Chelsea — Sun, 03 Feb 2013 20:00:27 +0000

Recently, I have been getting into games on my phone! It is completely crazy how far technology has come! I seemed to be amazed everyday when I pick up my phone! I remember when I used to have the HUGE HP with the monitor that took up an entire table and the modem had to be put on the floor because the table was already filled with the screen! Now, we have touch screen tablets. I'm still amazed can't ya tell?

Here’s our list of the top 10 goriest games ever to make your stomach turn and to make your parent’s ire rise. Games are no newcomer to gore.

Barack Obama vs. Mitt Romney In the Smartphone Showdown Game of the Year

Emerald Catron — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 18:30:34 +0000

It’s not everyday that you get to see Mitt Romney smacked in the face with a hot dog or President Obama trounced with a balloon sword… Until now. Thanks to a new, free phone game called Vote!!!, you can see it every day. It might seem like they’ve lost sight of the point of democratic elections by making the two presidential candidates go toe-to-toe, but the folks at Epic Games could actually be on to something.

Christopher Walken Takes You Through Super Mario World Like Only He Can

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 23 Aug 2012 12:00:23 +0000

After appearing in just about every other movie between 1990 and 2005, Christopher Walken has been quiet lately. So what’s the 69-year-old been up to? Apparently he’s been playing old school video games, like Super Mario World. OK, fine, it’s not really Walken. Instead, it’s Jason Stephens, one of the many folks on the internet [...]

Online Porn and Video Games Will Lead To The End of Man

Camilla Turner — Mon, 23 Jul 2012 13:47:35 +0000

Be warned, for the end is nigh. The annihilation of the species of man is on the horizon. And we can’t think of a better way to go out in a blaze of glory. Dr Philip Zimbardo, Stanford University’s Professor of Psychology, insists that we must tackle “Guy Disaster Mode” before it’s too late. He argues [...]

10 Best Fighting Games

Chris Urie — Sat, 07 Jul 2012 15:30:23 +0000

Fighting games are the perfect way to settle an argument, but there is etiquette to observe.

First, you gotta let your opponent know you mean business and a slapping a silk glove across his face just doesn’t cut it. Smashing him in the face with a controller is more the style. Then once a controller has been slapped across your face in acceptance, the fight to the digital death. But the question now remains, which games should you play?

Happy Wheels NSFW [game/video]

chynna — Sat, 30 Jun 2012 21:22:37 +0000

I love the game Happy Wheels. It's a guilty pleasure of mine. Morally, the game is horrible. You have to run over people (sometimes multiple times) to get to the end. And even if you do get to the end, you might not make it there with all of your limbs...or even alive. But I can't stop playing it because for some sick reason it makes me laugh SO HARD. (I'm a horrible person, I know.)

Cubs Win the World Series in the 'MLB 12 The Show' Commercial

slick — Wed, 07 Mar 2012 13:56:17 +0000

It might be a little below the belt for the two resident Cubs fans on staff but it is a good advertisement nonetheless. MLB 12 The Show came out for the PS3 as of yesterday (March 6th).

And yes...even the Cubs can win the Series in this realm of reality. Much like my Cincinnati Bengals can win the Super Bowl when I play Madden.

Anime Style Table Tennis Match With Awesome FX

Bobby G. — Sat, 18 Feb 2012 15:00:47 +0000

I’m a big ping pong fan anyway…so this video had my attention right from the get-go. What starts out as an innocent game of table tennis between two friends quickly escalates into an epic back and forth battle for dominance. The special effects are just downright amazing…done in the style of Dragon Ball Z or [...]

'Breaking Bad' As An Old School Nintendo Game

slick — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 13:38:49 +0000

Breaking Bad is an immensely popular show on AMC. Full disclosure, I've actually never seen it. I have heard it's "must see" and stuff so I will have to get caught up eventually. They are into their fourth season and this hypothetical game, that I would have loved to play back in the day, takes you through the journey via playable characters. 8-bit NES style.

Skyrim Gets the 'Macho Man' Treatment

slick — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 02:28:18 +0000

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an enormously popular game. I don't get it but I'm old. I do get the humor in having one of the dragons in this game made into the late "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

Shauna Wright — Tue, 22 Nov 2011 21:48:18 +0000

A Utah woman, fed up with her husband’s devotion to video gaming, took a novel approach to getting his attention — she posted him for sale on Craigslist. In an ad in the “Free Stuff” section, she posted the following… “I am selling my 22 year old husband. He Enjoys eating and playing video games [...]

'Kart Driver' a short film based on Super Mario Bros./Donkey Kong

slick — Wed, 26 Oct 2011 16:07:28 +0000

Just like the title states...but different than this which was posted several months back. It is an adult look (translation: NSFW) of a modern day adventure of our favorite video game plumber, Mario. The short film is a part of G4tv's 'Epictober Film Festival' which the description of goes like this:
