‘Francis’ Usually Makes You Laugh. He Might Make You Cry This Time.
You probably know Francis. The big guy’s best known as a highly combustible enthusiast who rants breathlessly on YouTube. Whatever the latest video game controversy or glory is — an always-on next-gen Xbox, the new SimCity or the latest WoW expansion — you can count on Francis to have an opinion.
Hilarious Dramatic Reading Of Bioshock Infinite’s YouTube Comments
The next title from Ken Levine and Irrational Games finally comes out next week.

Not Sure What’s Happening With Super Mario World And Chronic Gamer Girl, But It’s Damn Funny
The title of this video — which I got tipped to from the Twitter feed of Gawker colleague Adrian Chen — led me to believe it’d be focused on the pot-smoking antics of someone playing video games. There’s no marijuana in evidence but the proceedings are still pretty loopy.
