I wish I had a theme song for The Watercooler so I didn’t have to write something here every day, but I don’t, so I do. The Watercooler, as always, is the best thing you will see on the Internet today, mainly because it is the best thing I saw yesterday, or since the last [...]

Collector’s Editions of games are becoming more and more popular as video games slowly gain ground in today’s pop culture. Some embrace the higher prices and extra swag, while others are not so happy with some of the ridiculous price hikes. For example: the original Gears of War Collector’s Edition only jacked the price up [...]

That’s right, it has been a full week of nonstop Watercooler action. Usually we feature the best thing I saw on the Internet in the past 24 hours since the previous Watercooler, but because this is a special occasion, I will instead be sharing with you the best thing I’ve seen on the Internet EVER. [...]

Do you know what time it is? It’s time for The Watercooler again. This happens every day at the same time, so you shouldn’t really be surprised. This is the best thing you will see on the Internet today, mainly because it is the best thing I saw on the Internet yesterday. Eventually, I will [...]

When will it end? Shortly after we talked to Metacritic founder Marc Doyle about LittleBigPlanet’s low user score, the wrath of Sony fanboys was unleashed upon Gears of War 2′s user score as a revenge hit. It now appears that the 360 fanboys just wouldn’t stand for that, even though they seem to have started [...]

I’m sorry to say that while I consider myself a fairly loyal Gears of War fan, it’s my opinion that the gang at Epic overcomplicated their most recent attempt to market Gears 2. I have tried to focus long enough to figure out what the hell the mystery COG tags point to, but despite the [...]

LittleBigResistance: Delay of Sackboy The recent controversy surrounding Sony’s decision to delay the release of LittleBigPlanet, over a Qur’an reference made in one of the tracks, has many gamers flexing their memory muscle in an attempt to illustrate a double standard. The belief is that Sony’s 2006 decision to essentially ignore the Church of England’s [...]

Oh, that idiot Soulja Boy is up to his shenanigans again.  After eloquently describing the brilliance of the Xbox Live Arcade game Braid, Soulja Boy is once again broadcasting his videogame superiority via his YouTube channel.  Highlights include “Fuck PlayStation 3… nobody play no goddamn PlayStation” and “You can get an ass-whoopin’ fo’ free on [...]

The thing about Internet memes is that they sometimes come back. For those that don’t know what I’m talking about, the whole obsession with Chuck Norris is a meme, something stupid within pop culture that usually became a part of pop culture because it’s stupid. This video is one of those things. Brokeback Mountain was [...]

I know that when my 360 hits me it’s only because I provoked it. These stories are getting a bit stale, aren’t they?  Not stale enough, apparently, or maybe it’s just not important for Microsoft to fix their shit.  You see, my latest Xbox 360 is dead.  I purchased a new Arcade version in January [...]
