Everything is Better with a Portal Gun

Portal is the absolute best physics-based video game in existence. It’s a total blast to pop in and out of the game using the Portal Gun, which launches a blue and an orange portal wherever you aim. Then all you have to do is walk through one portal and come out the other. It’s a simple concept, but the game designers are such geniuses that they’ve created essentially three full games of quirky and funny puzzles around that concept. (Portal 2 had both a single and a multiplayer game, each with its own unique puzzles).

So it’s no surprise that other games want to get in on the fun. Here are some fun videos I’ve found where some clever people insert Portal Guns into classic games.

Such as Super Mario Bros.

Or Mega Man, which went the extra effort into actually creating Portal Man!

I’ll post more if I find them.

 

Futurama, Geekier Than Ever!

Here is one of those alignment charts based on Dungeons & Dragons alignments, only it’s for the cartoon show Futurama. I love these charts. There are a lot of them out there on the Interwebs for all manner of shows and movies and whatnot. This one was just cool enough that I wanted to share it with everybody. I love Futurama, and these alignments fit so well! I wish I was smart enough to figure one out for a show. Maybe I’ll try someday.

Anyway, this one comes courtesy of MightyGodKing.

A Better Green Lantern Than the One in the Movie

This song and music video are further proof that the Internet is the greatest invention in the history of everything. It gives voice to the geeks of the world. Let us revel in this wonderfully specific theme song about the Green Lantern. It makes me wonder if bands who record these types of songs can ever play them in live venues. Who else but geeks would understand them?

Believe me when I say this wins all the Internets.

World’s Greatest Dad

Whoa to be one of my future children, and the geeky things I will put them through and make them wear. But this father, found in a random picture on the Interwebs, has raised the bar. My hat is off to you, good sir. Check out this earlier blog post to see why this picture is so amazing.

Babies, Babies and more Babies!

I Am The Man Who Arranges the Blocks…

I’ve been holding on to this video for some time now, waiting for the right moment when my blog had a few readers who could really enjoy this fantastic song. This is quite possibly my absolute favorite video on Youtube. It’s a song about the history of Russia and the Soviet Union, set to the tune of that nation’s greatest export: Tetris.

Not only is it a history lesson, but it’s a brilliant song to boot!
