Fun Friday
Most of you have played Minesweeper before, I’m sure, but have you thought about what the classic game would be like if it were turned into a movie? The crew over at CollegeHumor got their creative juices flowing when they came up with Minesweeper: The Movie. It puts a whole new spin on the classic game, and I must admit, it’s funny. Even if you don’t like Minesweeper, I think you’ll laugh.

It’s one of the most creative things I’ve seen in a while and if anything, it’ll bring back memories of your favorite classic Mario Brothers Games.:)
Thanks for the tip Nate!

Red Sox Mets 1986 RBI Baseball Reenactment
This is the complete opposite of the other videos I’ve included. In this situation, a person took a real life situation and reenacted it in a video game. It’s when the Boston Red Sox were playing the New York Mets during Game 6 of the World Series in 1986:
