Watch R2-D2 Go On A Hilarious Death-Dealing Rampage In Grand Theft Auto IV

This clever Grand Theft Auto mod by YouTube user taltigolt is pretty funny for the first 1:45 then HOLY CRAP does this little droid turn into an engine of destruction. And if you think that is hilarious, turn off the annotations and wait until 3:43 for one hellacious surprise. Just cover your keyboard, or don’t be drinking anything.

You Want Your Final Fantasy VII HD Remaster? Well Here It Is!

How To Get Skyrim Looking As Awesome As Computationally Possible

I’ve been playing Skyrim again recently, and thanks to the wonders of modding, it is lookin’ damned fine.

Watch That Cool-Looking Skyrim Tower-Defense Mod In Action

A couple weeks ago, I posted about a tower-defense mod for Skyrim that looked surprisingly cool. You know, given how often grafting tower defence onto a non-tower-defense game… y’know… sucks.
