The Final Fantasy series got a little classy with a symphony dedicated to it. [geekosystem]
With the progression of video games, are "boss fights" relevant anymore? [gammasquad]
Well it looks as if most of Gamestop's, and other second-hand video game selling companies will soon see their businesses slow to a crawl.

None of you can say you haven't imagined how awesome it would be to have a super power, but there are a few super powers that look like they'd be amazing to have, but in real world physics and what-not, they would suck. [cracked]
Now why isn't everyone's grandpa as awesome as this guy? Grandpa plays Call of Duty and Halo, and totally enjoys every minute of it. To be honest, he'd probably kick my but. I've stated many times in the past... I suck at FPSs. I won't even front. [geekologie]
There is now, officially, a director for Star Wars Episode VII. [geekosystem]

Most of the time video games based off of movies or TV shows, to put it mildly, SUCK! However, once in a while you get a gem or two that don't. Here are the 10 greatest videogames based on TV shows. [dorkly]

Science fiction is slowly becoming science fact. Those crazy scientists have once again laughed in the face of physics, or whatever, and created a real life tractor beam. [geekosystem]
Once again, someone has come along and ruined our childhood. Severely creepy humanized versions of our favorite cereal mascots. [geekologie]
To make up for that last link, here's a Disney themed Voltron. [geekologie]

I apologize if I bring back your nightmares. (no I don't) [buzzfeed]
Most of the time we associate lighting your house and having it go along to music, with Christmas. Well a few people have extended this tradition into halloween. [geekologie]
