  • The Future | Science, Fantasy or Fiction?
    Views: 1150
    Futuristic science books, fiction & fantasy are a tech toy tease. From NASA space colonies to flying cars, science is long overdue on all the things Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron and Stanley Kubrick have been promising us since birth. And I for one will not rest until science delivers on my damn time traveling Delorean. After all, with all the time they spent perfecting botox, they could certainly have figured out the personal cloaking device already. It's time to keep science honest people!

  • Top 10 Hardest Video Game Boss Battles
    Views: 32575
    Likes: 5
    The Boss Battle is the video game equivalent of an orgasm - climactic, exhausting and totally worth it... yet often hard to achieve/beat. Of course, not all boss battles are created equal. Some gaming-gasms are just better than others. These are the hardest ones with the best payoff. From Final Fantasy to God of War, to Diablo III these are the hardest (and most satisfying) boss battles to beat - at least in our opinion.

So here are the 8 greatest internet hoaxes ever pulled on the internet by a pretty face (or other body parts).

    A whole slew of lists have been made about horrible video game endings, but most of those include games that aren't really worth playing to begin with. These are the worst endings to games that are 100% worth your time... until the end. This proves, once again, that for most games, the developers probably think about the ending LAST.

    From water levels, to ice levels, to "moving" levels, to escort missions, many games have fallen into designing levels/missions for us with the same kind of challenges and mechanics. From our 8-bit days, all the way to the most modern of games, we've retained a lot of level types and a lot of these types have retained what makes them so annoying. Here are the most annoying types of video game levels.

Here's a list of 30 of the greatest, funniest and most epic (at least mostly) LIVE-ACTION video game commercials of all time; from the roarin early 90s, all the way to the past few weeks.

    Top 10 Most Ridiculous iPhone Apps
    views:  10071
    Apple's iPhone is most certainly an awesome, wet-dream-inducer of a super gadget. And for a fanboy such as myself, it is difficult to see it as anything other than a gift from the gods. But, I can't help but notice that the App store is incredibly over-inflated. Sure, there are a gazillion useful, well designed, and functional applications to be had for free or cheap, but there is also a huge pool of terribly useless and ridiculous wastes of space. If I could, I would list them all here, but instead I have chosen my top ten. These ten apps are so incredibly past the "this is stupid" line, that it is almost embarrassing. Most of these, even more mindbogglingly, are the most popular apps in the whole catalog. I'll admit that some of this is open to interpretation. But really, if you see this list and then have an intense desire to go download one of these apps, something is seriously wrong. Seriously wrong.

So here's a list tribute to greatest games in video game history that involve daddy issues, and the characters that have them.
