Perhaps the hottest heavily-armored digital chica in gaming history, Metroid’s Samus Aran has become known as a kick-ass pioneering female who needs the help of no man. The moment that Samus was revealed as a woman at the end of Metroid changed my life. And I’m clearly not the only one who was inspired by Samus’s robotically-coiffed tactics. Using 179 ...

This guy used some spare cardboard to fashion a tennis racket and little red rubber buffers as peg hands. The solid red t-shirt seals the deal. I imagine the mask is simple ...

You’d figure that if LEGO released a Wii Remote they’d do it right and let you build the whole thing from scratch.

I happen to be one of the few dozen people who haven’t seen Inception yet. I hear it’s quite the mind-trip. Although I usually have a rule that I never, ever play games based on movies under any circumstances, Inception for the NES seems like it would be a rather interesting experience. One element that the NES lacked, like most ...

If I were running OKCupid, I’d go back and check if iPhone users are also much more likely to pay for sex then other smartphone users. But regardless of my involuntary abstinance, OKCupid says it is so. They also say that the camera you use for your ...

“You got Donkey Kong on this thing?” A boy at the San Francisco Zoo accidentally dropped his Nintendo DSi XL into the gorilla enclosure, resulting in the corruption of at least a pair of gorillas’ fragile brains. As you can tell from the photography captured from the scene, the gorilla proceeded to pick up the DSi and play around with ...

What’s a man gotta do to get in a game of Shower Hero around here? Do I literally have to buy myself Game Boy-shaped soap? Ok, now I’m just making up excuses.
