Creepshow

Each week throws off several new video game lists ranging from the humorous to the trivial. What’s better? A list of those. Here’s a roundup of the rundowns out there.

•8 Creepy Video Game Urban Legends (That Happen to Be True) [Cracked] I have to tip my hat to Cracked. They do the best lists of anyone. I have not read a single bad top 10 list from them. This one, covering the Hell Valley shadow people from Super Mario Galaxy 2 to Polybius, is just a good read throughout.

•The 30 Funniest Internet Responses to the PlayStation Hack [Ranker] Ranker goes topical here and rounds up the best webcomics, tweets and memes related to the PSN Data Breach. I have to say, the first one with the World’s Most Interesting Man was pretty slick. Hitler throws a tantrum, of course.

•The 12 Best Games for Flexing Your PC’s Muscle [Maximum PC] Hey, that’s a funny headline. Why? Your PC muscle is what controls how you peepee, and flexing your PC muscle is thought to help control premature ejaculation and urinary incontinence.

•Top 10 Best and Worst of Video Game Hair [Calm Down Tom] Bayonetta is not No. 1. Nariko from Heavenly Sword is. But there is a picture of Bayonetta cosplay.

•Top 10 Things Sony Can Do to Make Up for PSN Hack [Wired] This was published two days before Kaz Hirai’s news conference yesterday, at which he said welcome-back gift bag will be offered once they get PSN back online. That’s OK, this is a straight humor piece. The remark about PSPGo is particularly cutting.
