What If You Could Get Patches For People?
You know how there are people that you kinda find a little more than irritating but you sort of have to put up with them for various reasons, like maybe an annoying cousin, a person in college or even someone in the work place. Things would be much easier if you could maybe download patches for these people and fix them right? But its even more tricky if you happen to feel this way about that “special person.” If your significant other snores, or forgets date or has some sort of flaw, it’d be pretty efficient to have a patch to fix that. Then again, we don’t want to be dating robots, flaws is a part of makes us human. And as much as some would really want something like this, it remains a fantasy. But this video by GoodGame Web Series shows you what that might be li...
Real Life Assassin’s Creed
Cosplayers are quite fun to watch, they dress up and assume a fictional character. And I’m sure you’ll agree with me when I say that some are better than others. There were some I saw at the Comic Con here in Delhi last year and they were a sight to behold, I’m not going to say anymore. Back to my point now, there are so many cosplayers out there, some that do a good job and some that don’t. Meet Jamie Oakley, as far as casting someone for the Assassin’s Creed movie is concerned, you might as well cast this guy right here. It’s not just the volume of ASC gear he’s got on, but its essence lies in the detailing of what he wears. From afar cosplayers can look halfway decent even if it was a last minute decision to put on some colourful clothes and loo...

Hilarious Gaming Bugs Compilation
We know all too well that making a game is not an easy job at all.You have millions of dollars invested, you have your experienced teams and still you somehow find a glitch here and there. The fact will remain that just about every game will have a bug or two in it, no matter how thoroughly it has been tested for quality control. You find a whole lot more bugs these days because of the type of games that are releasing these days. Open world games are gaining popularity and are a lot more difficult to test than linear. Sometimes bugs can be taken light heartedly and usually are forgotten. But when there are too many of them that leave the players quite upset and frustrated. Ubisoft’s Assassin’s Creed Unity would be perfect example for this. A large number of fans were left feeling cheated d...

A “Sikh” Captain America
I have to admit at the start of this article that I clicked on the video because I saw a Sikh man dressed as Captain America and thought it was pretty funny. Only after watching the entire video did I realise the moral behind it. Mr. Vishvajit Singh, a 43 year old software engineer, walks around the streets of U.S in a Captain America costume with the sole purpose of promoting religious tolerance. In this short clip below titled “Red, White and Beard” you see Vishvajit in his Captain America uniform documenting people’s reactions and also asking them what they thought of his version of the superhero Americans love all so much. Here is just another video I found online while I was reading up about the Sikh Captain America. About halfway into this video there is a pa...
