That seems about right!

Yes, that's exactly the feeling when you unlock these items on Assassin's Creed III!

In the midst of the now infamous glitch in Madden NFL that renders player Christian Kirksey as 1 foot 2 inches tall (around 35 cm) when he is 6 feet 2 inches (1.88m), EA Sports took it as a chance to make a trailer of the "Tiny Titan". So fun to watch... Good move, EA Sports!

Kids react to a GameBoy

Oh boy, this makes me feel old! Not only that, but I'm glad I came from the time buttons were considered normal... I had a similar "problem" with my younger brother when he mocked me for playing Panzer Dragoon Saga stating that the graphics were crap. I challenged him to play the game and he actually enjoyed it. He even said that it wasn't all that bad. And with that I gave him a little perspective. Games don't just "pop" out of the blue. To be where we are today, we had to have different things before. And maybe now things are a bit too easy...

This is funny. And sad. And cute. And sad again. I really worry for my kids one day! :s I hope mine would turn out like that asian kid. He's going places...

Bayhem!

I'm not a movie expert of any kind. I like to see movies and I'm drawn to blockbusters, always. I like to relax and have a good time, see some explosions, laugh a bit and I'm happy. I see movies as entertainment as well as art. But I'll go to the movie theatre to see entertainment. I realised there is a lot of criticism to Michael Bay and his movies. And I get it, I really do. But since I like Transformers so much, I just see the movie for the bots. And I mean for the 3D, for the artists that brought them to life. I want to see the details of the animations in a big screen. So, I'm not a Michael Bay fan. I'm a Visual Effects / Animation fan. But, here's a video of the breakdown of Michael Bay's shots by Tony Zhou from Every Frame A Painting.

Gollum calls Caesar

Bow down to Andy Serkis! This guy is immensely talented... He improvised a conversation between Gollum and Caesar from Planet of the Apes... it's hilarious!

It's a dare!

Ok, this is a test. Watch this video to the very end! That's it! It sounds easy, but this is an uncomfortable experience... This is part comic, part social experiment, part social critic, and it's beautifully executed.

Rethinking my life, starting now!

Best. Room. Ever!

Wow! These parents deserve a medal! Look at this awesome room... with an X-Wing! The little kid can watch TV from the cockpit of the ship as well! Star Wars all the way! :D

Dragon Age: Inquisition

Is it October? I'm so excited for this game... And damn, it looks good... Dragon Age: Inquisition promises action and an open world, with Bioware's quality seal.

It seems that this particular game could have over 40 possible endings. As all things Bioware, they depend on what you choose during gameplay. There's more spells to choose from (over 200) and you can choose your character out of four races, three classes and nine specializations. Yes. I'm really looking forward to this one, as it seems they tackled the limitations of Dragon Age 2. Gameplay video below, fr your entertainment :)
