According to Chinese site Xinhuanet, a 60-something year-old farmer in Guangdong province built this space shuttle replica and put it on top of his house. I can't think of a better place for it.
WOW, it's not even a contest. All of the featured ads here consistently cracked me up, but I remember seeing those Sprint ads on TV and just going, "STAAAAAAAAHP" with each one.
Sprint is running a new series of commercials with a fictional family called the Frobinsons. Maybe you like them. That's fine. You're entitled to your opinion. So am I, and I think the ads are, so far, pretty terrible. Here's why.
New Nintendo Direct incoming! The upcoming stream, which hits on Tuesday, April 8, at 6PM Eastern, will focus on Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS. Will they finally reveal Yoshi? We shall find out. Above is today's Smash Bros. picture of the day, featuring Isabelle from Animal Crossing.

This week, I spent four mornings out and about. I went to store after store. My mission was to locate toys from a popular anime. And boy, did I ever fail.
deviantART, with the help of the game's art director, Christian Lichtner, recently hosted, judged and concluded a fanart contest themed around Blizzard's action-RPG, Diablo III—and the community came up with some truly mind-blowing pieces. Let's take look at the finalists.
A post on EA's corporate site says that the woman who helped give Naughty Dog's Uncharted series its distinctive feel will be working on Star Wars for the Battlefield publisher.
The opening credits would probably look something like this. We're so excited about the return of Game of Thrones on Sunday, we asked our friend Garrison Dean to imagine what the show would look like if it was a classic 1970s-1980s sitcom. But what he came up with was way more insane than we ever expected.
This is bad news. Buying that Fire Box or whatever isn't even remotely on my long-term agenda. I'm hoping they don't try to eat other big names if it means they're not releasing stuff on PC/Mac/Linux where it belongs.
Amazon is bolstering up talent in their video game development studio, and they've got two new high-profile snags: Portal designer Kim Swift and Far Cry 2 designer Clint Hocking have both joined Amazon Game Studios, Kotaku has learned.

The worst part is that people in the comments are actually defending this way of life in MMOs. I swear, that crowd is even more resistant to inclusiveness than the fighting game community.
Why does everyone desire a game world in which everything is difficult and all other players are against you? That's called REAL LIFE, assholes.
This week in his semi-weekly column in Weekly Famitsu, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn producer and director Naoki Yoshida recounted his earliest experiences with massively multiplayer online gaming.

Game of Thrones feels like a leap forward in fantasy television. But no television show emerges from a vacuum, and for Game of Thrones to succeed, a number of innovative and brilliant TV shows had to crash and burn, to light its path. Here are 10 TV shows that failed, but helped pave the way for Game of Thrones.
The immensely powerful aggregation website Metacritic just got a little more powerful, partnering up with Amazon, the biggest online retailer in the world, to display Metascores on video game pages.
*Someone* might have more insight into this episode that I'll have to inquire with later. Also, Kevin Sorbo as a programmer, hilarious.
Murder, She Gamed: I just know a lot of you are longstanding Jessica Fletcher fans. I'm equally sure that you all know about the 1993 episode of Murder, She Wrote where the intrepid author entered a virtual reality apparatus not entirely unlike the Oculus Rift and, while solving a murder, wrote her own VR game. But on the CRAZY OFF-CHANCE that you didn't watch that show, Wired has a new, highly enjoyable write-up of the episode.
Shit! I just needed to scroll down a bit further to see this!
This is not an April Fool's prank. Or well: the reason the site updated is because of April Fools, sure, but the point is, I'm not pulling your leg. Homestar Runner has updated for the first time in three years.
Reeeaaaaaaaaaally not helping my increasing disdain over ever having to get on a plane. Crashing and dying is about the last fear I have when it comes to air travel.
Gizmodo Australia's Luke Hopewell was on a flight from New York to Hong Kong the other day. It should have been a long, but comfortable trip. Instead, it became something out of a survival story. The flight from hell.
Despite having been out for a little while now, over the past 24 hours we've got a number of complaints from users saying that Thief has suddenly developed a nasty game-breaking bug.
Just linking this because I didn't even know this was an official thing. Whoever came up with "anipoke" should diaf.

Thirty-two year-old Seiji Saihara was arrested for allegedly stealing a ten year-old boy's Nintendo 3DS XL. It wasn't just any 3DS XL, however. It was a limited edition Pokemon one.
I like modern houses in Minecraft. They give a good contrast to the fantasy setting, and motivate me to build something more complex than the tried and true crappy cubical wooden plank hut. The simple yet pleasant home above, by redditor KiltedCobra, is a prime example. Check out the Imgur album for more screenshots.
In July of 2012, Sega announced plans to bring the popular multiplayer RPG Phantasy Star Online 2 to the west in "early 2013." But that still hasn't happened, much to fans' consternation—and Sega won't explain a thing.
It's hard not to get wrapped up in nostalgia whenever you look at a SNES game—and while there are a number of reasons for this, one of the major reasons has to be the visuals. As it turns out, there is actually a lot that is unique about the graphics on the Super Nintendo.
Haven't looked at any of the videos, but I'm a fan of the MEGAne DRIVE
Today is April 1st. Be wary! There are some pranks and tricks online that you might fall for. Some of them are not very good. But some of them are. Let's have a look.
