Why Super Mario Bros. 3 is still a masterpiece Before Mario had a World, he had the biggest stage on Earth – and played the part to perfection.
Talking about Super Mario Bros. 3 risks devolving into a numbers game. It sold over eighteen million copies worldwide, another million on its Virtual Console re-release, who knows how many if you include pack-ins/re-releases, and still stands as one of the biggest sellers ever twenty-seven years later. Released in Japan on October 23, 1988, it wouldn’t see America till 1990 or Europe till 1991, but Super Mario Bros. 3 was always white-hot. In Nintendo’s western television advert, thousands of children chant ‘Mario, Mario, Mario’ as the camera pans back, the figures morphing into Mario’s face and then the North American continent. Such was the anticipation and profile for this 8-bit…

15 completely awesome old school video game commercials Blast to the past.
Since the dawn of video games there have been video game commercials. These ads were singed to the outside of our tender little brains and put a rage in our bellies that caused a relentless verbal assault on our parents. We wanted these games. These commercials are as classic as the video games they are advertising. Let’s go back to a simpler time.

You’ll never be able to afford these top gaming battlestations MOM! BATHROOM!
Every gamer has one thing in common: they need a battlestation to pilot. A battlestation is not just about the specs of your gaming PC.

There are people with a lot of disposable income (or rich parents) who are passionate about creating the ultimate gaming environment, and who like to show off what they’ve built in battlestation threads on 4chan and on the r/battlestations subreddit. We have collected some of the very best of them. Starting with this absolute beast It even comes with a massage…

Former jewel thief reviews GTA 5’s jewelry heists A former jewel thief has taken Grand Theft Auto 5’s heists to task, and explains how he would have done it instead.
Youth crime prevention advocate and former jewel thief, Larry Lawton, took to YouTube to review GTA 5’s jewel heist missions, picking apart the details and explaining how Rockstar got it wrong. “I understand it’s a game, but I am to this day considered the biggest jewel robber in the United States,” he said. “And I’m gonna tell you how I would have done it. And what the game did a little off,” he said, introducing viewers to his review. Lawton says that Michael’s attempt to case the store, as depicted in the game, was “sloppy.” “As he’s casing the place, he’s taking pictures. Very conspicuous. You don’t think they would…

10 times gamers IRL died on cam F in the chat.
We recently wrote about gamers shitting their pants from sheer dedication to gaming. Sadly, sometimes they also die from it. They’re mostly keeling over in their chairs from inactivity and stress induced complications, which isn’t so interesting. Other times gamers are just victims of circumstance like the rest of us and get shot up because the some psycho lost a Madden NFL game. We got together with experts from Pro-Papers and did our homework so we could highlight ten times gamers peaced out of this miserable existence doing what they love.

Mom rudely intrudes on a gamer’s Mafia III livestream and blurts out, “Get off your game, go to the bathroom, and take a shit. Now.” Not eliciting a response, she continues, “Bathroom and shit now!

Go to the bathroom!” “Not yet.” The stream was originally posted to creeperman 90‘s YouTube channel but it has since been deleted.
