This amazing talk by Jane McGonigal of the Institute for The Future discusses how gamers are today's optimal workers, and that we need to harness their work ethic to make the world a better place.

See mom? I don't play games because I'm lazy. "Playing a game with someone builds up bonds and trusts and cooperation, and we actually build stronger social relationships because of it."

Someone has come up with a modification for Crysis that allows you to drive the DeLorean from Back to the Future. The amount of detail put into this mod is quite stunning, and the car itself actually "time travels" when it hits 88 MPH.

The amount of awesome here is hard to describe. It makes me want to go install Crysis again just to have a little fun.

One of the new features of Modern Warfare 2 is an instant replay of match winning kills. It was a feature of Halo 3 and allows the fear of losing a match in a humiliating way very real and savable for all to see. I just never thought we'd see one of those videos so quickly.

I'm not one to post gameplay videos...but wow. Luckiest...shot...ever.

Totally awesome mashup. Megaman + Street Fighter. How much better could it get?
