Make Your Own Doctor Who Adventure
The BBC is running a competition to make your own short Doctor Who movie, animation or images to tell your story of how the Doctor wound up facing the Daleks once again. Sadly the competition itself (with a prize of meeting Peter Capaldi on set) is only available to UK residents, but the good news is that the BBC has made a range of clips and images available as fully licensed “asset packs.”

The Caves in ‘Skyrim’ Versus The Caves in ‘The Witcher’ Series
This meme taken from Imgur, as funny as it is, sort of sums up what is wrong with gaming right now.
Real talk here. Gamers played Skyrim and complained about how each cave seemed to have an opening and a (rather conveniently placed) exit. But, same gamers get The Witcher 3, with its intricate and realistic caves that often have very hard to find exits, and they get just as mad. Proof we are now so whiny we cannot be pleased no matter what we get. I, for one, find the easy exits of Skyrim to be wholly more fun. I don’t play video games to get caught up in the realism of their cave systems.
I play video games to have fun. To me, being lost in a realistic cave is just not that fun. I could do that in real life. Also, if I wanted realism, I wouldn’t be playing games where people have sex on stuffed unicorns and scream at dragons. Yes, reality was left out when I hit power. Again, games should be fun and we should be less collectively whiny.
Someone needed to say it.

Recreating The Simpsons Kitchen
We’ve seen people try to recreate the Simpson’s opening title scenes or the image of Homer slumped in front of the TV, but this Calgary couple put a domestic twist on their homage: making over their kitchen to use the same decor, even to the extent of sourcing corncob curtains.

Skyrim: ALL THE THISTLE!
Shooter Logic: The Knife Is Always The Deadliest Weapon
Make no mistakes. The reason the melee weapon in shooter games is always the strongest is because they want to emphasize that it takes a certain amount of skill to take an enemy out up close like that. Problem is, this tends to result in balance issues with the game play.
It is just odd to see a solider take nine slugs to the chest in a shooter game and keep going only to be fallen by one stab from a pocket knife. Apparently we are NOT the super soldiers we think we are. At least when it comes to the intimacy of the blade.
