When I saw the caption for this, I thought it might be a little cute.  It turned out to be hilarious and really well-timed. Someone set Michael Phelp’s Olympic swimming to the Super Mario Brother’s soundtrack.  This mostly involves the water level, but also parts of other levels. Things I …

The Faeria video game has been early access for a while, and is temporarily free leading up to its official launch. Until 4pm PST today, you can purchase the game on Steam.  Once you buy it, it’s free forever–as long as you buy it in time. This was a game that was …
