The Protomen are no more! They are now... The Pokemen!

30 minutes ago - 11:00 PM on 02.23.2012   |   Tony Ponce


YouTube sent me an email update announcing that a promo video for The Protomen's long-awaited Act III album had just been posted. I got extremely excited! It was about time those guys finished the fight! Then I remembered I'm not subscribed to The Protomen's YouTube page. I doubt they even have one at all.

No, this was uploaded to brentalfloss' account. Wait... ooooooh, you cheeky bastard!

Floss can't take all the credit, though. This was a collaboration between him and Eddie Lebron, the dude behind the Mega Man fan film and upcoming Sonic fan film. Way to kick us in the nuts, guys!

Little Niero would have cut your throat for a cartridge

Mass Effect 3: An Erotic Gay Love Story

7 hours ago - 4:00 PM on 02.23.2012   |   Jim Sterling


The Mass Effect fan seductively slid his disc into the tray, the warm humming of his computer implying an eagerness to receive. With hands almost trembling in anticipation, he booted up Origin, greeted with the familiar pop-up informing him that he needed to download an update. He smiled back at it, like an old friend returned from faraway travels. 

He consumed a Diet Mr. Pibb while Origin updated itself -- a stiff drink to calm his nerves, put fire in his belly. Tonight would be a great night. A passionate night. A night he'd remember in his wildest fantasies and relive in his most wondrous dreams. 

Tonight was the night he would begin to play Mass Effect 3.

In my mind, Mike Patton is absolutely one of the best parts of The Darkness videogames. Possibly even the best. It's like he has a demon living inside of him that's only there to help him produce sounds no human should be able to.

Since The Darkness II has been out for a couple of weeks now, 2K Games put out a fun behind-the-scenes video showcasing Patton's voice acting. These things are usually interesting enough to send you on an IMDB spree, if nothing else, but this one made me laugh. A little too much.
