video games

Sometimes you feel like really taking your time with a video game, digging around, finding treasure, leveling up to maximum capacity. Other times you just want to run like hell. These are those times, and if you've ever played any of these games, and you suffer from untreated anxiety, you might not want to watch these videos. Speed runs can get a bit intense.

This is Kanye West. He's going on a Kanye Quest!!! AAAH! Kanye Quest 3030 is a new RPG you should definitely be playing if you like to play old school 2D RPGs.

Good ol' Black Thought. Not only is he an amazingly talented member of The Roots and Jimmy Fallon's house band, but he's also willing to admit on national television that he's a "game freak." And then willing to do rap to the theme from Super Mario Brothers.

Yesterday, Sony revealed their new gaming system the PS4. Considering how up in arms everybody was over the XBox One, it's no surprise that people were more than willing to hop onboard the PS4 bandwagon. When they announced that the console would cost $100 less than XBox, it was basically all over. Here's how people were reacting.

Legend has it that 30 years ago Atari buried a massive cache of video game cartridges in a landfill in New Mexico. Specifically, they buried tons and tons of copies of the failed 'E.T.' video game, an Atari non-classic that nearly sunk the gaming industry. Now a film crew has been given six months to search the massive 100 acre landfill to find the motherlode of lost games and confirm that the sto

Microsoft unveiled their new gaming console yesterday, and people were not impressed. Actually, they were pretty complain-y and grumpy about it. They don't like the name (Xbox One). They don't like all the features. They don't like any of it. (Particularly how the Microsoft folks pretty much just talked about TV the whole time.) They genuinely dislike it so much that they took the time to make mem

If you're a gamer and you find yourself a girlfriend who also loves spending marathon sessions in front of a screen you should probably seriously consider locking her down for life. That's what Redditor Marchaka was thinking with his special lady Michelle, who shares his passion for video games.

Equal rights have finally come to video games.

Boy oh boy, are people mad about the new SimCity game! That's a rhetorical question, because the answer is clearly YES, people are quite angry about SimCity 5. Most people are just upset and complaining about long wait times and server failures. Some have taken to writing harsh reviews on Amazon, while others are making image macros to express their frustration. We know for sure at least one perso

Everyone knows it costs money to raise a child, but it’s the unforeseen expenses that really add up.

Andrew Mason, now-former-CEO of Groupon, resigned today. Well, actually, he was more fired, really. And he told everybody. How do we know? Because he also publicly released his own letter of not-resignation, because it was going to leak anyway. Here's what it said.

A preteen-looking Jack Black delivers his trademark overexcited delivery in this 1980s clip for the classic Atari game ‘Pitfall.’ It's hilarious! You gotta give the kid credit for nailing down his shtick early and sticking to it.

So this video does a pretty good job of summing up the PS4 press conference yesterday, if you didn't have several hours to spend watching streaming video about a new gaming console. Some people are excited. Others are underwhelmed. Still others are making memes, because this is the internet, and that's what people do. Here are some of our favorites.

Anyone who argues that video games are full of senseless violence and lack genuine emotion simply hasn't spent enough time with a controller in their hands. In fact, many games are driven by heartfelt love stories at their core. Some are cute and Disney-esque, while others are doomed from the start in the tradition of Greek tragedy. Either way, the video game romances we present here are all epic
