Hilarious observations all about video games, including the easter eggs you missed, and secrets that programmers and game designers don't want you to know.
It turns out that video game makers don't give two craps about canon, even if the game is based on an all-time cinema classic. And sometimes that's awesome.

Games are slowly moving out of our monitors and into the real world ... but damn it, it still feels like there's something missing. And that something is insanity.
There are some beloved games that weren't so much 'inspired by' other games as they were 'the exact game, with a minor paint job.' Those knockoffs then went on to make millions of dollars.
It's never clear how video game bosses ascended to their positions. We just kind of go with it and find the shiny spot we're supposed to shoot. But you can't help but feel sorry for some of these guys.
