The last we heard from John & Justin Grosjean, the brothers were busy Skyrimming (yes, that is now a verb) their way through the local convenience store. Well, now they’re both back stirring up trouble, this time negating even more amounts of medieval karma than before.

On their latest adventure, the brothers perform a little breaking and entering over at Gregethor’s pad -wouldn’t you know, that dude leaves his cottage unlock all the time. After feeding their kleptomaniac impulses, the brothers discover that Gregethor doesn’t appreciate his cat being stolen, amongst other belongings.

And thus is the plight of the modern Skyrim warrior: even with good intentions, townsfolk will try to murder the sh*t out of you.

To start off, there are already pretty much endless possibilities when it comes to Minecraft. But sprinkle on top of that a texture pack or some other form of modification and the potential for greatness becomes quite clear. Welcome to the history books, Mr. Andy. See, what this guy has done is created a Matt Damon texture pack that essentially turns everything to all things Damon. The moon? Matt Damon. Pumpkins? Matt Damon. Your bed for sleeping? Matt Damon. The only catch is that the mod was created for the 1.8 beta version and hasn’t been upgraded to the latest Minecraft version. Do we mind? Hell no.

Check after the jump to see Damon in action:

You know, often I awake in my twin sized bed and wonder, “Is an AK-47 really the best defense against an onslaught of zombie invaders?” Well, now my neurotic brain can finally rest thanks to the new DoubleStar Zombie-X AK-47: a weapon that beautifully illustrates just how truly pimped a machine gun can get.

First and foremost, the DoubleStar Zombie-X AK-47 has a friggin’ battery-operated chainsaw slapped on for a bayonet. Second, there’s a custom gun sight on the side of the weapon and it even has its own biohazard reticle when you look through it. Last, the AK has a…wait for it…bottle opener attachment, which is just plain genius.

Built exclusively for the SHOT Show 2012, check after the jump for footage of the weapon in the arms of one of its creators.

For anyone who has never heard of Ben Heck, I highly suggest heading on over to his website now. See, Ben is a console mod guru who regularly uploads his achievements online for all the world to take a look at. However, from this day forward, the man may well become synonymous with his latest invention: the Hot Pocket-holding Xbox 360 controller. Yes, you heard correct.

From concept to installation, Ben demonstrates every aspect of the build. We’re talking blood, sweat and tears, all in the name of not having to place your gaming controller down every time you want to deep throat a pepperoni pocket. A noble cause, indeed.

The entire 15-minute video is available after the jump:

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: haters gonna’ hate. Guinness Book of World Records Gamer’s Edition 2012 confirms that an engineering team from the Delft University of Technology, in the Netherlands, has officially constructed the world’s largest gaming controller. Students Benjamin Allen, Stephen van’t Hof, and Michel Verhulst are the ones responsible for the giant NES controller; taking nearly four weeks to assemble, the 12ft X 5ft 3 in X 1ft 8 in controller cost the team around $6,000 to build, weighing in at a whopping 265 pounds.

And just in case large-scaled controllers aren’t your thing, the video after the jump also features other winners from Guinness this year: the world’s first female Street Fighter champion, some dude who plays Wii inside a wind tunnel for 18 minutes and let us not forget the world’s most successful Pokémon playing family. Like I said: haters gonna’ hate.

So, do you remember waking up this morning and promising yourself that you were going to conquer that fear of creepy animatronic babies? You do?! Well that’s great, because today is definitely not the day to commit yourself to something like that. Especially not as long as special effects guru Chris Clarke has his latest creation running amok in this world.

You see, Clarke has been in the movie magic game for quite sometime. Most recently, he’s the man responsible for creating faux horse puppets used in Steven Spielberg’s War Horse film. So what’s he up to building evil and soulless robot babies? Oh, that’s easy: an evil and soulless soap opera needed an animatronic baby for filming. Of course…

Yeah, I know, I used “whilst” in the post title, there. Probably used it incorrectly too, but man does it look fancy.

Anyway, a couple of months ago, back in November, PC Gamer featured a trailer from the Max Payne 3:Design and Technology series, in which a narrator basically broke down the “new” mechanics of the upcoming title, while (whilst?!) simultaneously giving us all raging gaming boners. Well, this week they’re back with a second design video (and hopefully the boners), this one concentrating specifically on the weapons and targeting system for Mr. Payne’s third wild ride. Plenty of new footage and, oh yes, the narrator is back as well.

Basically, here’s what I learned from the video below: Max Payne can wiggle around with his machine guns out and, thanks to thousands of animations, it all looks really fluid. They even factor in stuff like the weight and recoil of the guns you’re carrying and how that affects Max’s balance when he’s moving -he looks just like a real life bald slob!

Remember back when things used to be wholesome and carefree? You know, back before cartoons had to busy themselves with merchandising and advertisements? Yeah, me neither -and same goes for this Canadian Christian panel of “specialists” from the ’90s VHS tape Not Just Fun and Games. In the dated (but highly relevant) tape, these guys explore the dangers of ’90s popular culture, while also revealing its repressed hedonistic ways. Of course!

This beautiful highlight reel comes from Rich Juzwiak, who figured the world needed just one more internet supercut. Thanks to Rich, now we’re reminded firsthand of the dangers that Master Splinter and his turtles brought upon us all. Oh don’t you worry, The Simpsons, Vanilla Ice and even M.C. Hammer all get shunned too. Evils!

Despite how other graphic novelists may feel, Alan Moore has made it apparent that he doesn’t mind the whole Occupy Movement thing. Hell, some could say he’s downright fascinated with the correlation between his V for Vendetta Guy Fawkes mask and the Occupy Movement. And for that very reason, until now, he never actually journeyed into the crowd. A local news station followed as Moore entered an Occupy London demonstration and got face to face with V personally. And don’t you worry, this Occupier is sure to make everyone epic face palm around the 1:52 mark. When asked by Alan Moore what the mask had to do with the movement, his response was:

“The whole, um, like character is, ah, very relevant to what we’re doing at the moment, because, ah, we’re going against a system which we feel is corrupt and, um, and ah, so we’re doing the same kind of thing as…what happened in the movie.”

Alan, I spear to God that you’ve got intelligent fans under 30…

just give us one more chance!?
