Video Settle In For A Nintendo Story Most Spooky With Grimwald Gutfright
Every creepypasta boiled down into one
If there's one thing that's historically saturated the internet, it's horror stuff.

So in the name of Halloween, snuggle up and dim the...

Random Recreating Smash Bros. Victory Animations In Real Life Looks Incredibly Challenging
And incredibly fun
The Super Smash Bros. series' end-of-match screens are strangely satisfying to stare at after a hard-fought battle, likely thanks to the crazy animations performed by the winning character and the graceful, steady clapping from the slightly passive-aggressive losers. As it happens, some people enjoy these animations so much that...

Random Hollywood Legend John Carpenter Doesn't Think Much Of Nintendo Labo
"Frankly, this thing sucks"
John Carpenter's contribution to horror cinema simply cannot be understated; via titles like Halloween, The Thing and They Live, he has helped to shape the kind of fright-heavy flicks we know and love - and that's not to mention his many excellent films outside of the genre, such as Escape from New York, Big Trouble in...
