BEST OF THE WEB: DESTINY 2 DANCE TRAILER

Freestyle Playground I'm all about Destiny 2 at the moment. The shooting is super tight, the Fireteam play is incredibly fun, the score is amazing, the story is interesting and every little niggling thing from the first game has been addressed and then some. Then there is the silly social elements of the game that I love, particularly the dancing. I have spent way too much time my time wisely dancing away. As much as I love the dancing in Destiny 2, I love the live action dance trailer from PlayStation Japan even more. It might seem like a bonkers way to advertise a game, but it pretty much sums it up perfectly.

It gives you access to millions of free books, movies, software, music, websites and a whole heap more. It is a phenomenal resource that: ...provides free public access to collections of digitized materials, including websites, software applications/games, music, movies/videos, moving images, and nearly three million public-domain books. Wikipedia Probably the area that would interest most of you who visit VERSUS PLAYER would be the comprehensive software section that contains a massive amount of old games.

BEST OF THE WEB: STAR WARS WEBTOON

A long time ago, manga style Star Wars Webtoon is a manga style web comic series by Hong Jacga. The comic goes through the original Star Wars trilogy, but from the perspective of Luke Skywalker. Being a web comic, it is presented vertically. This allows for some striking art pieces that require a few page scrolls to get through. This Korean comic boasts incredible art and some really interesting alterations to existing Star Wars dialogue. It is also completely free. Personally, I read the whole thing on my phone, snapping many screenshots that became beautiful phone backdrops (until the next incredible illustration). You can check out Star Wars webtoon here. You can also download Webtoon on your phone and read the whole thing for free there too.

This really is Everything Halo Keeping the Halo love going, we thought it would be a nice idea to make the latest Best of the Web pick(s) Halo themed. On the latest VERSUS PLAYER podcast, The Inevitable Halo Special, we spoke at length (2 and a half hours!) about everything Halo. The games, books, comics, movies, TV shows, collectables and heaps more. If you a are fan of Halo from way back when or someone new coming into the games, then there are two must visit and bookmark websites that will keep you informed on what's been, is and coming in the Halo universe. These sites are Halo Waypoint and Halopedia. Halo Waypoint This is the official site of Halo, right from the mouths of those who are creating the content. Halo Waypoint: ...provides users with various kinds of Halo information, including information on members of the Halo community, various machinima videos and gameplay strategies and tutorials. It also allows players to access their own gameplay-related data, total Halo Gamerscore through multiple games in the series. Most major announcements regarding the Halo series are also posted at Waypoint. Halopedia One of my favourite things about Halo Waypoint is all the information about my history with the Halo games. This includes achievements, medals, kill-death ratio, detailed stats about games played and information about campaign playthroughs. Just sign into your Live account…

This is the place where we share the best bargains in Australia and share them with each other. Our goal is simple – bringing the best deals and bargains in Australia to consumers.

Live out your haxor fantasy with GeekTyper GeekTyper is what I love about the Internet. It's a browser based hacking simulator that you can use to make it seem like you are a programmer hacking into a computer system. It's pretty much like you see in TV and movies. While it's not something you'll spend too much time mucking around with on your own, the fun really is in tricking family, friends and strangers. Pop it in full screen mode at the local library and freak everyone out (you probably shouldn't do that). There are a whole bunch of themes you can set, including SHIELD, Umbrella Corp, Aperture Science, Black Mesa, the Matrix, NASA, Anonymous, Microsoft Word, HE-MAN and more. You can check out GeekTyper here. You too can have mad two person on one keyboard haxor skillz, just like the crew in NCIS: https://youtu.be/msX4oAXpvUE If my recommendation isn't enough for you, how about one from the D O double G himself. https://twitter.com/fediafedia/status/715828280851607553 Here at VERSUS PLAYER we love everything nerdy and want to share with you some of our favourite things on the Internet. BEST OF THE WEB is an ongoing series where we do exactly that. If you liked this you might like some of our previous BEST OF THE WEB picks, including Mortal Kombat Legacy, I Am Street Fighter and Mineralblu. Happy gaming (and haxoring)!

I wanna share this overworld with you. 2 Player Co-op (Player 2 Press Start) is a song (and fun music video) by Danny Wiessner and featuring Tori Lee. The song is: Inspired by the relationship between Tori and I (Danny Wiessner), this song plays on gamer culture, from the 8-bit sound samples and instruments to references to specific games, systems, game companies and more. Danny and Tori Wiessner There are some really funny and clever lyrics that will have any gamer smiling at the cuteness of it all. You can check out the song here: https://youtu.be/7u_YYlXY0mU Here at VERSUS PLAYER we love everything nerdy and want to share with you some of our favourite things on the Internet.
