Warning: The Watercooler is the best thing you will see on the Internet today, mainly because it is the best thing I saw on the Internet yesterday. Be advised that The Watercooler is not necessarily videogame related (it usually won’t be), and is often silly, controversial, and/or not safe for work (NSFW). If this type of content frequently offends you, please be aware that I just warned you — if you still click through and get offended, it will be your own stupid fault. Otherwise, please continue…

Today’s Watercooler features the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Remember when they had a live show and played hardcore death metal? Me neither, but it totally happened and I have proof. This is 100% real, and if you don’t believe it, well, then I guess you need to look up the definition of real.

Oh em jee. If the Ninja Turtles ever did go on tour with a soundtrack like this, I would totally paint my face and go see them. Or maybe I’d wear a mask… and bring eight of my friends… and have a ninja fight because they’re stealing our music. Yeah, that sounds right.

I also want to give a special shout out to Leonardo’s one-string guitar. Nothing rocks as hard as a single string.

You’re welcome.
