Wedding proposal by video game character

Kotaku:

Ben reached out to Gearbox a while back, mentioning that when he and Tora first started dating, he had to give her "the gamer talk," in which he explained his hobby and the fact it might make him incommunicative and emotionally unavailable for hours at a time. Tora's response: "I love Borderlands! Let's play!"

The video's very funny.

Funny Portal 2 moment, Portal 2 in third person

If you go back after escaping Wheatley's first trap, he tries very hard to convince you to jump into the pit. Sounds like there's some great stuff down there.

Also, here's two videos showing Portal 2 in third-person (fyi, there's a childish, leering moment late in the second video, but it's otherwise very cool):

Old Spice Jungle Wilderness commercial

Take a tour through an extremely dangerous jungle in the Jungle Wilderness ad for Old Spice:

Wieden + Kennedy Portland’s new Old Spice campaign, ‘Danger Zone’, treks determinedly into the action-adventure genre with ‘Jungle’. The spot features a new Old Spice guy who will stop at nothing to meet his lovely lady. Shot on location in Auckland, NZ, Biscuit’s Tim Godsall directed and, in another winning collaboration with W+K on Old Spice, The Mill LA produced VFX.

“The big challenge was getting all that action into one spot,” says Robert Sethi, our VFX Supervisor/Lead 3D Artist on ‘Jungle’. The shoot included over a week of prep during which rehearsals meticulously choreographed encounters with a crocodile, jungle snakes, piranhas and a speeding truck . . . .

‘Jungle’s’ last scene features our hero emerging from a lake of flesh-eating piranhas, but nonetheless as cool and debonair as ever. Giles Cheetham, our Lead 2D Artist, explains he was filmed in his chic white suit with blue leggings against blue screen; they were removed then a CG skeleton was matched to his legs.

Use alcohol to easily correct mistakes

A Deadspin reader:

I wanted to share with you my 4 year olds art pen…tough to read but states "use alcohol to easily correct mistakes"

I read it and immediately starting laughing. My wife did not appreciate my commentary to my daughter that her pen is basically directing my life.
