This infographic comes to us from Flip Flop Fly Ball, the visually stimulating creation of Craig Robinson… no, not THAT Craig Robinson. The site contains baseball infographics and “other visual treats” like the Mets and Yankees logos but in the other’s teams color schemes. Mind blown yet? Anyway, I’m a Mets fan. Occasionally, I watch the Yankees. Mets games take like 2 seconds. Everybody strikes out then someone sac flies a guy who got on because of a three-base error to win the game. Meanwhile, Yankees games are like epic Roman tragedies with 8 intermissions. I have to shave once the final out’s recorded. Well, I finally have proof that Yankees games should only have 6 innings. Check it out after the jump.

Last week, we brought you demotivational posters about… The Game… sh*t. We, and subsequently YOU, just lost. Anyway, this week’s all about #WINNING with demotes (that’s the new hot slang for demotivational posters) that feature the BEST game ever: Twister. Why? Because smoking hot women wearing next to nothing LOVE it. If you’re a struggling TV network and need ratings bad, broadcast barely clothed babes contorting on a polka dot mat and you’re ACES, baby. Place your index finger on the red gallery button to check out the hotness after the jump.

It can be difficult for a gamer to date a girl who has zero interest in video games. Seen from the outside, video games are a silly way of killing time that some people take way too seriously, the same way you might feel about scrapbooking, cats, or jogging. So, when she hits you with the inevitable “I don’t get it” it’s natural to try and persuade her by getting her to play with you. Here are some suggested titles to keep your significant other from rage-quitting your foray into the world of gaming. Check out our list after the jump.

What makes a video game addicting? Good games draw us in because they are designed to satisfy the basic psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and relatedness with immediacy, consistency, and density. In real life, we want to feel challenged, connected, purposeful, powerful, successful, accomplished and important and we want it now. We’re able to achieve those feelings through video games. That doesn’t mean you should enter The Matrix. Before you know it, you haven’t showered or slept in 3 weeks. Check out our list of 5 signs you’re addicted to video games after the jump. No, not after you beat this level, NOW!

For years and years, video game developers have been churning out awesome hockey games. EA Sports has been the most consistent, dropping their always incredible NHL series every year, and never seeming to disappoint. Other developers have made successful games, too, but some have tried and failed miserably. Since not everyone is a hockey enthusiast, I have catered this list to include not just the best games, but the best games that appeal to even the average gamer. We’ve also pinpointed the worst games… so developers can learn from their mistakes. Check out our list after the jump.

On June 6th, 1984, the best selling game of all-time, Tetris, released to the public in the former USSR. Electronic Gaming Monthly‘s 100th issue had Tetris in first place as “Greatest Game of All Time“. In 2007, Tetris came in second place in IGN’s “100 Greatest Video Games of All Time“. In 2009, Game Informer put Tetris 3rd on their list of “The Top 200 Games of All Time“. If that weren’t enough, studies have shown that prolonged Tetris activity can also lead to more efficient brain activity during play. To honor its legacy we’ve pulled together a tribute that features a gallery of Tetris-themed photos along with a playlist of greatest Tetris-themed videos. Now, where can a brother get an “I” block?

It wasn’t very common to see gamers fawning over female video game characters 20 or so years ago. Such affections were geared towards the ladies of comics and movies; 8-bit and 16-bit women just don’t scream “sex appeal.” But ever since Lara Croft came blasting her way into the hearts of geeks everywhere one brisk October in 1996, you can’t walk into GameStop without seeing a group of nerds worshiping a poster of Chun-Li or some sweaty creepy guy in a trench coat ogling that copy of Dead Or Alive: Xtreme Beach Volleyball sitting in the bargain bin. There are many video game vixens that make us all weak at the knees, but – for the sake of time – we’ve narrowed it down to the 10 best! See who made the list and vote for your favorite after the jump!

Ah, Crocodile Dentist. The game that introduced children everywhere to Russian Roulette whether they knew it or not; where a push of the tooth meant sore digits for the rest of the afternoon. But this is fun for only so long… until someone raises the ante. Looking like a twisted plaything made by Jigsaw, some lunatic in Japan went ahead and fitted the upper set of teeth with thumbtacks – for an added sense of dread when your turn approaches. He did make the game much more realistic however since it’s common knowledge that a crocodile bite hurts, and replete with life-threatening bacteria, but vials of bacteria are hard to come by these days. Hit the jump to watch this cringe-worthy video for yourself!

Some of you may be to young to remember LCD handheld games since you were spoiled with Gameboy Color or Gameboy Advance from the get-go, but kids from the late 70s up to the early 90s found their portable enjoyment in these watered-down Gameboys. No changeable cartridges here, each handheld was preprogrammed with a single game, meaning that’s all you get – so you sure as hell better enjoy it! But one website has gone above and beyond to let gamers relive these cherished moments of LCD gaming bliss!
