It’s easy to underestimate the broad depth of the Super Smash Bros. franchise, but beneath the simple mechanics lies an incredibly in-depth meta-game and an huge community dedicated to playing and refining their smash skills. Some hardcore Smashers decided that the most recent effort, Brawl, didn’t quite live up to expectations, so they set about tweaking the game. The end result? Project M.

Seven years and seven million copies later, a previously unplayable Super Smash Bros melee character was made playable, a glitch that sounds like schoolyard myth but has since been proven to be fact.
Did you realise that the television show Survivor was a going concern among television viewers? I certainly didn’t, having completely given up on network television after those bastards decided to cancel Journeyman after one partial season, which is why I had no idea that the one of the cast members for the latest season of Survivor is professional gamer Ken Hoang, the current international champion of Nintendo’s Super Smash Brothers Melee. Survivor: Gabon premiers on September 25th, when we’ll get to see Ken put his gaming skills to the test in the very physical competition.
My prediction? Ken gets ironically eaten by several wild animals who have never before appeared together hunting the same game.
