The Portal 2 "Want You Gone" Fan Music Video
If anything shows how infuencial the world of Portal has been on the gaming industry, it’s this video — a un-believeably well produced, fan made music video created by Pedro Calvo on Youtube.

Dribbble designer's take on Google+
As soon as a new web product is launched, you can trust the designers on Dribbble to start pumping out alternate design concepts and improvements to said web property. This is still true with Google’s new social network Google+. Dribbble has been a buzz with news about the new social network, and they have been sharing thoughts on Google’s design choices, and providing some really useful resources for everyone that’s interested in the project. Very cool stuff!

Do you understand Sony's advertising? - New Sony Tablet Commercial
Do you understand Sony's advertising? - New Sony Tablet Commercial
We really haven’t begun to understand what’s happening in this commercial, but all we know is Sony is either super artsy, or (judging by their past PS3 “baby” advertisements) they are all serial killers.

As a part of Anime Expo, the western world’s first glimpse of the Vocaloid mascot didn’t happen unnoticed either. While Miku’s first concert in Japan was reported worldwide, this LA event was covered by a local news team from the area. — Watch as they try to make sense of it all after the break!

The sad story of a Team Fortress 2 Spy (Comic)
We have all had that moment when playing the spy in TF2 when you are just on a rampage, sticking enemies with your knife like it’s as easy as blinking — but at some point you start thinking “am I really this good, or is the other team just completely oblivious?” — I mean, enemy Medics have already started healing you, and you’re starting to wonder if your getting in too deep, I mean, they are actually accepting you as their own! You need to get out, but when the last shell hits the ground, and the evemy team wins, you’re in the limelight for all the wrong reasons. This is what happened to one poor Spy during a match, and his life has been a living hell ever since…

Batman Arkham City gets 12 mins of Catwoman gameplay - (Video)
Miss Selena Kyle isn’t your typical catburglar, especially when she’s got that sexy cat suit on. Well, players will be glad to know that out of the 40+ hours it takes to finish Arkham City — which is said to be 5 times bigger than the original facilities of Arkham Asylum — 10% of the game will be played from the perspective of Catwoman. And we’ve gotten our hands on 12 mins of direct Batman saving Catwoman from the cluthes of Two Face, though we do get a brief glimpse of some her slick moves; set with her own moves and gadgetry to make any Caped Crusader stop and take notice. — Video after the break!
