Dragon Age: Redemption episode 3 is here

Posted on October 26, 2011 by John Scalzo

Felicia Day’s Dragon Age: Redemption webseries continues with episode 3, “Josmael.” Josmael is a mage who is helping Day’s character, Tallis, search for the rogue Qunari Saarebas. I’m sure that alphabet soup of fantasy names means something to fans of Dragon Age II. But even after watching it, I’m still in the dark.

And in case you missed it, the second episode, “Cairn,” is available after the break. (more…)

The Birds of Anger bring the house down in G4 Epictober finale

Posted on October 26, 2011 by John Scalzo

“The Birds of Anger,” directed by Dance of the Dead creator Gregg Bisop is the final film in the G4 Films Epictober Film Festival. The seven-minute short is both a condensed version of one of Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest films and a pretty funny parody of Angry Birds.

Be on the lookout for Thor‘s Jaimie Alexander in the Suzanne Pleshette role, who plays Annie as even more evil than in the original (if that’s possible).

It’s on like Donkey Kong in G4’s Kart Driver

Posted on October 25, 2011 by John Scalzo

The second movie in the G4 Films Epictober Film Festival, “Kart Driver,” doesn’t have anything to do with karts, driving or Taxi Driver, but Drew Daywalt’s film is also one of the coolest takes on Donkey Kong ever.

Protip: This one is packed solid with references to Donkey Kong and Super Mario Bros. Can you spot them all?

The Duck Hunt dog makes Cujo look like a puppy in “The Hunt”

Posted on October 24, 2011 by John Scalzo

The G4 Films Epictober Film Festival may be the greatest thing ever. Or at least, the greatest thing ever this week. Taking three classic games and giving them the horror movie treatment, the short film series opens with “The Hunt,” a bloody riff on Nintendo’s Duck Hunt.

Who among us didn’t fire off a few bursts of invisible Zapper fire at the Duck Hunt dog after he snickered at our poor aim? It’s for that director Sam Balcomb created “The Hunt.” Who’s laughing now dog?

G4 will follow “The Hunt” with two more films including tomorrow’s “Kart Driver” and Wednesday’s “The Birds of Anger.”

Daily Scoop: October 20, 2011 – I don’t even know edition

Posted on October 20, 2011 by Nicole Kline

That’s right. I don’t even know. That’s what today is about. What is this I don’t even- ? That’s how I feel today. It’s so close to the weekend, and I just want it to be here already. Actually, not even that – I just want it to be Halloween already! Can we get that coming a little faster? Can we? Please?

Oh, right – I’m supposed to be telling you the deals. Amazon’s Deal of the Day in video games is 505 Games’ Rugby World Cup 2011. This Xbox 360 game is just $29.99 today, and the description wants you to know that it is the only Rugby World Cup 2011 Game out there. I am not surprised!

Don’t forget about all of the GameFly sales on PlayStation 3, Wii, and Xbox 360 games as well! Pick up some junk on the cheap.

No t-shirts today. Seriously. Check out this hilarious Thriller Cat instead. You’ll thank me later.
