You Had One Job, And You Screwed Up ‘Naruto’

It’s “Naruto”. Not “Nartuo”. N-A-R-U-T-O. Naruto. This was noticed earlier this week by Rich at IGN, and as far as embarrassing box art misspellings go, “Nartuo” tops Resident Evil: Revelaitons Revelations.

Here’s What You’ll Want To Know Before Watching Gundam Unicorn

Brace yourselves. I’m about to give some people a migraine from rolling their eyes too hard. I am a massive Gundam fan. So much so that I probably straddle the line of “geek” and go straight into “nerd” territory.

Inspired By The Matrix, This Live-Action Video Game Is Now… A Video Game

Call it going full circle. Back in 2004, a Japanese game show called Run for Money appeared on FujiTV. The show had flourishes of The Matrix and a central premise that seemed more like a video game than a game show. Now in 2012, Run for Money has finally been turned into a hit 3DS game. As logical as a video game version sounds, the concept wasn’t initially a no-brainer.

Check Out These Butt Slides In Tekken Tag 2

Doctor Boskonovitch is a recently unlocked Tekken Tag Tournament 2 character who is full of piss and vinegar. As this video from YouTuber Kaworuscott seems to show, the ability to spam this move appears overpowering. What, does Doctor Boskonovitch have a PhD in infinite arse slides?
