John Riggs — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:26:30 +0000

Even though I love video games, I never got into Pokemon. I get how it's so popular, it's just not for me. Kids today grew up with it like I grew up with Transformers and He-Man. This guy, however, is such a big fan that, not only does he have his own Pokemon YouTube channel, he also is known in his school for his Pokemon obsession. Naturally, if he was going to ask a girl to prom, naturally, he'd ask her like this.

John Llewellyn Martin — Fri, 29 Mar 2013 19:53:48 +0000

BioShock Infinite has been one of the most anticipated games in recent memory and has suffered the slings of release date delays and criticism from certain interest groups, but that hasn't stopped its incredibly powerful buzz train from bringing our expectations to new heights. Does it deliver on its promises and keeps us floating in the throes of ecstasy? Or does it belong in the murky depths, like a certain other city we know and love? (Not a negative thing, really. We like Rapture!)
