Even Pro Gamers Are Known to Rage Uncontrollably

To me, this seems like an excessive use of posturing. Sports have sportsmanship, shouldn’t eSports have eSportsmanship? I am coining that phrase. Watch, I’ll hashtag it:
#eSportsmanship
But I guess this is same area where futbol goal celebrations last nearly 15 minutes and spend more energy than it took to make the goal. Sorry, Europe, you aren’t polite when it comes to sports.

Playing Games You Don’t Know the Rules For

They actually don’t show a lot of gameplay here, probably because playing a rugby, cricket or darts game is actually really boring. Seriously, it’s boring. I’ve played about 3 games with a darts minigame and real darts is much better.

Happy Hour Game Time – Hot Shots Out of Bounds

This game is far more annoying than any golf game should be. Or at least multiplayer anime-inspired golf. I also learn I’m terrible at putting. Really, there’s not many redeeming qualities about this game until we learned how to freeze our poses. Watch and you’ll see.

If Bane Caused Super Bowl Blackout

Bane did not cause the Super Bowl blackout. However, I did make that joke when it happened. Here’s a clever account of what he might have said if he had done it. Of course, if he was the culprit than only Hines Ward would’ve survived, and that’s not something people really want.

Happy Hour Game Time – NES Baseball

Video games are frequently touted as something that doesn’t age well. Today, Happy Hour tackles this concept by dusting off some old NES games from the same genre: baseball. Baseball games by themselves haven’t aged well so this is a double duty of pain and excitement. Yes, both together. They are sarcastically excited to play.

ESPN Fills Entire Segment With Princess Bride Quotes

I doubt this was a whole lot of extra work, but expertly done writers and commentators of ESPN for pulling off what many NFL fans might miss. A lot of them were so subtle, they even snuck in R.O.U.S., sorta, either way I’m impressed with. Just watch it.

Blake Griffin in NBA Jam

I enjoy Blake Griffin for his ridiculous car commercials. And I guess his dunking. I like what they did with this video. It’s short, so watch the whole thing, and miss old school NBA Jam.

Motocross and MMA Together At Last

Yes, someone has finally combined them. You can get a full 3 minutes here of motorcycles flying over the heads of an actual MMA fight. I be more scared, but these guys are doing the two sports with the highest injury per hour rating, and now they can can kill two birds with one stone, hypothetically speaking.

Bo Jackson in Mario Works Better Than Expected

Of course, this is football Bo Jackson, not necessarily baseball Bo Jackson. Either way, Bo Jackson rocks the 1-1 World here. Makes me want a Pro Stars video game or at least a remake of some sort. BO!

Japan Forces Girl From The Ring to Throw Pitch

Ummm. Sure. This seems like a completely normal thing to do. Because it’s Japan. There’s a squirrel umpire also, which makes me more confused. Why’d she fall? Actually, I’m pretty sure that’s a man that doesn’t know how to throw.
