There’s always money in the banana stand, and the best possible use of the stash is to place bets on Bluthfighter! The Arrested Development fighting game parody pits G.O.B. against Tobias (covered in blue of course), and it’s ridiculously clever. It incorporates a plethora of inside jokes and did you read the part where Tobias fights G.O.B.? I’d like this to turn into a real game, please.

Hagrid has a soft spot for all manner of weird and usually dangerous creatures. He doesn’t have a sense of what is appropriate for his class to study. At all. In a recent class, he brought on a vicious and deadly Rancor. Harry Potter helps save the day, but he isn’t able to help Hagrid from turning into a sort of Force ghost.

It’s been seven years of work, but game designer Drew Rechner has recreated Baldur’s Gate in 3D as Baldur’s Gate: Reloaded. The mod is the entirety of the game including the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion. Rechner worked on the project with programmer Shallina and says it helped him get into the game industry where he worked at TimeGate Studios until he was let go when they shut down.
In order to play you’ll need Neverwinter Nights 2 and the Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir expansions. Once you’ve got those installed you can download the mod and you’re ready to play.

The events of the most recent Game of Thrones episode, “The Rains of Castamere,” turned the world on its head. Fans freaked out, and book readers who knew the Red Wedding was coming filmed their unsuspecting friends to get raw reactions. They had a moral obligation to do so. When George R. R. Martin made an appearance on the Conan O’Brien show this week, Conan showed him clips of the choice videos. They have curse words, tears, and screams. And how does GRRM react? He just laughs. Somehow this doesn’t surprise me.

[SPOILER ALERT] If you haven’t watched the most recent episode of Game of Thrones then do not unmute this video or you’ll have the whole thing spoiled. On the other hand, if you’ve seen it, then watch and listen as actress Maisie Williams (Arya Stark) gives what is likely the best reaction ever to the episode’s big reveal. We’ve also got a hilarious compilation video of fans who were in the know that recorded their friend’s reactions to it all.

It’s difficult to know what is and isn’t acceptable in the office. Deadpool finds it even more difficult and tries to figure out just what it’s okay to say, with a little help from Marvel’s legal department. As you might expect, Deadpool makes the whole process a bit of a challenge.

In the following video, Sir Patrick Stewart gives further proof that he’s just an incredible guy. In response to a fan’s question at Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas, Stewart gave a very heartfelt and personal answer. He talked about how domestic violence and PTSD affected his life growing up. He even gave the woman who asked the question a big hug as the crowd cheered.

By the time Game of Thrones finishes airing, it’s opening theme will have been mashed up with every possible franchise. That’s perfectly fine with me though since the music is gorgeous. This rendition combines the credits with StarCraft, and it’s so well done I can’t get over it. The camera pans over the maps, the buildings are “raised” just like in Thrones. I’ll be over here applauding.

Artist Dan the Ad Man wanted to teach himself 3D software programs, and the best way to learn is by diving in. He decided to create graphics representing the forms and flow of Street Fighter. The result is beautiful motion sculptures that mimic the movements of the game. You have to watch the animation to see what I mean. Check it out in the video after the break.
The names of characters in Star Trek can sound an awful lot like the names of IKEA furniture. Epix News decided to quiz the cast of Star Trek Into Darkness and J.J. Abrams in a lightning round to see if they could guess which is which, and it’s amusing. If nothing else, you get to see and hear Benedict Cumberbatch saying IKEA.
I’ve clearly spent too much time in the Swedish furniture store because I recognized the names.
