  • Take A Guess How Jim Sterling Feels About Nintendo Creator’s Program

    Nintendo is synonymous with being behind the times and their approach to content creators on YouTube is no different. The debate goes on about if Let’s Play videos should be allowed to make the channel creators money. Nintendo created a program of their own called the Nintendo Creator’s Program where they will take a portion of earnings from people for the privilege (?) of putting their games on YouTube.

    Let Jim Sterling explain the conflict of interest this creates and the reason why it is a bit shady.

    Jim Sterling (like the Kinda Funny guys) have branched out on their own. If you like his stuff please go support him on Patreon. The Jimquisition Patreon

  • Conan Shows That Mortal Kombat X Is Awesome And Marshawn Lynch Is Actually Fun

    So a funny thing happens in this video. Marshawn Lynch’s personality makes a rare appearance showing that he really hates sports reporters and not everyone.

    Conan, Marshawn and human fuckstick Rob Gronkowski truly become disgusted by Mortal Kombat X’s fatalities. That shows me that the game is well on its way to guaranteeing itself a spot in my console.

  • Best Thing Today: Watch Someone Kill EVERYTHING In Fallout 3

    Fallout 3 is one of the greatest games of the last generation. It was so good at conveying a grand sense of scope and character choice. Now, YouTube user Many A True Nerd has taken psychopathic gaming to the extreme in the best possible way.

    He spent seven months killing everything, EVERYTHING, in Fallout 3.

    If there is one thing we can learn from the first video, it is that Liam Neeson will only take roles where he is immortal.

    Kotaku has the whole story in their article. Check out the complete series of Many A True Nerd’s videos on YouTube.

  • LEGO Trailer For Captain America: The Winter Soldier

    YouTube’s Antonio Toscano has made a habit of making LEGO trailers out of many films including Iron Man 3, Man of Steel and Star Trek Into Darkness. Now he is back with his take on the first trailer for Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

    Focus your eye holes and see if you can notice all of the special appearances by other LEGO characters.

  • Watch Superman Inspire This 16-Month Old

    Want to remember what it was like to fall in love with comic characters all over again? See 16-month old Simon watch Man of Steel with his father.

    He has never seen Superman fly before and the reaction to seeing the Man of Steel’s first flight is a thing of wonder.

    Welcome to a bigger world Simon.

  • Can The Jurassic Theme Played As A Metal Song Make A Grown Man Love Again?

    The answer is yes. Yes it can.

    This is Eric Calderone and he has a host of YouTube videos of him replaying movie and TV show themes (he even does Call Me Maybe) as metal songs, but there has always been something about the Jurassic Park theme that has stayed with me even 20 years after release. He has taken the classic theme and made it new again and I want this as my ringtone now. I promise I won’t change it ever again.

    Check out his other videos here.

    Does Game of Thrones have too much death, tits and incest for your liking? Is your version of drama a good night of One Tree Hill? Then you will definitely want to take a look at School of Thrones, a new web series that has just started on YouTube.

    The family warfare mixes with class cliques with very CW-like results. I got a bit of a kick out of it as all the characters were introduced. They were quite clever with matching up the personas well with high school life. Episode 1 is below and Episode 2 will be out on March 17th.

    A little tits and incest wouldn’t hurt either.

    Greyjoys!!

  • Sony’s Mysterious Game Day 2013 Trailer

    gamer-day-sony_175c9

    A video has been put up by Sony on their YouTube channel titled Game Day 2013. In the short 16 second teaser a woman is shown walking in a field and then a demonic yellow eye is shown with the date February 1, 2013. Right off the bat I think it is most likely Kratos’ wife hinting at a God of War  announcement set for Friday.

    We can always hope against hope that it is Heavenly Sword 2 right?

  • Merry Christmas From Machinima. You’re Fired.

    Today was not a good day to be an employee at website Machinima who laid off almost 10% of their staff just two weeks before Christmas. The layoffs affected the editorial staff. Machinima employees were given no forward notice of their terminations.

    To rub salt in the wound, Machinima released an official statement about the matter.

    “Today Machinima underwent a reorganization to address its global growth, and this process unfortunately resulted in layoffs. Less than 10% of Machinima’s workforce was effected. Also as part of the restructure Machinima is hiring across key divisions including Sales, Marketing and Product.”

    So for all the people that created and edited content for the website take heart, they are hiring new employees to help sell your content.

  • Nintendo Delays Major Wii U Apps

    Nintendo TVii Delayed Until December.

    Everything seemed to be going so well Nintendo….what happened??

    Just a few days before the Wii U is set to launch, Nintendo has announced that their on demand services (Netflix, Hulu Plus, Amazon Instant Video and YouTube) will be delayed. They are hoping to have the services up in a few weeks. Nintendo TVii has also been delayed and will not be released until December.

    You will still need to update your system online on day one to get your e-shop, backwards compatibility and online play up and running.

    No system launch is perfect but this was a huge component of Nintendo’s selling point of the Wii U. Let’s hope they can get everything worked out quickly.
