Take Me On (The Cistern) (link to this video)
What do you get when you combine id's classic shooter Quake with an internet fad based on 1980s pop music?

Quantum Leap (link to this video)
This surprising, David Lynchian clip is the product of an alpha build of S.T.A.L.K.E.R., wherein the "repair car" function mistakenly rocketed the vehicle into another dimension.

Seven days.

Massively Uneffective Sex (link to this video)
Maybe Fox News wasn't that far off. Either way, this pairing of graphical glitch and coincidental dialogue makes for a very unfortunate scene.

Retro Trailer of the Week: Diablo II (link to this video)
The announcement of Diablo III has many of us returning to the previous game, hunting down Andariel and Baal one more time in anticipation.

Here's the trailer that kicked off the most successful title in the series; that short clip that introduced "The Wanderer" for the first time.

Easter Eggs, Sunny Side Up (link to this video)
Metal Gear Solid 4 was pretty light on irreverent codec conversations. As a point of comparison, here's a collection of a few of MGS 2's more absurd moments. Oh that Kojima.

GLaDOS GPS (link to this video)
This one is for all those robot fetishists out there. You know, the guys who wish they had a real GLaDOS ordering them around on a daily basis, like a wife with lung cancer.

LEGO Donkey Kong: The Stop-motion Video (link to this video)
And old one, but still great--Donkey Kong as presented in block form.

Kick, Punch, It's All in the Mind (link to this video)
This on-the-fly remix of Parappa's first song sure brings me back. To a time when rhythm games were unknowingly rudimentary, that is.
