“Lost” RPG: The Game You’ll Love At First But End Up Hating

The talented folks at College Humor is at it once again parodying television shows through 16-bits. If you remember, they gave Game of Thrones and Doctor Who the RPG treatment; this time, it’s the ever-so-controversial Lost’s turn.

The video does its hilarious best to sum up its entire 6-season run through RPG gameplay, so it should go without saying, but I’ll say it anyways: spoiler alert. (It contains a polar bear, Jack’s beard, a donkey wheel and bad plotlines.)

Mario Has Another Brother Named Giuseppe Who Isn’t So Super

While Mario and Luigi are off in the Mushroom Kingdom hanging out with Peach and kicking Bowser’s butt, their other, less known brother stays at home and takes care of the important things.

Made by the hilarious guys at Dorkly, this video sheds light on the hidden truths we can’t see in the wonderful Nintendo franchise. And who uses Yellow Pages anymore?

Here is a hilarious video to which sums up the feelings of many who have come to hate the phrase. Thank you, Psychic Pebbles

Geek Spotlight: What a Riot (Games)

The other day (Dec. 20, 2011), Kandi and I took a little trip to visit Riot Games to drop off a fan art piece I made of Baron and Teemo. It so happened that the winning bidder works at Riot, and I was given the opportunity to personally deliver the piece myself. In all honesty, I was a bit disappointed with the final bid, but when I learned who it was from, that frown turned upside down.

Bear (the auction winner) knew its worth and actually handed me a little more when we met up, but in actuality, a lot more was given from this opportunity.
