This week's catch includes a Fallout 3 dance-a-thon, a batch of Left 4 Dead Hunter tricks, a live action Mario Kart stunt, and a couple of very special trailers.

Trick Hunting: How to Impress Boomers, Eat Humans and Succeed at Left 4 Dead (link to this video)
lauri and friends have officially brought trickjumping videos to Left 4 Dead. Now to embarrass myself in attempting the same moves.
