I want to take the intern’s corner in a different direction this week. It’s time we all go back to our childhood and talk about the games we played religiously, but could never seam to beat. There are too many to describe in one blog post, but this list is going to cover the intern’s top five hardest games.

** To ensure variety, if a series of games punched our testes particularly hard we lumped them together.**
 

5. Devil May Cry Series

Devil May Cry fist came out on the Playstation 2. It introduced one of video game’s most memorable characters Dante. Dante was a foul mouthed, sword swinging, gun toting, magic casting, badass from hell who doesn’t care about anything. The DMC series is known for its notorious puzzles and teeth grinding boss battles.

No game of this series is more responsible for the destruction of gamer minds then Devil May Cry 3. DMC3 is the last game featuring Dante as the protagonist. It was launched on the Playstation 2 in 2005 to a symphonic harmony of nerd rage felt around the world. The primary antagonist for this game was Dante’s twin brother Virgil. He is one of the hardest bosses to defeat in video game history. Any player up to the challenge of DMC3 has to be prepared for the inevitable and self-inflicted blow to the head.

Who's got tickets to the gun show?? Definitely not me, but Alison Haislip had a pair to the Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot and Trade Show where she got to learn all about guns, explosives, cannons and basically anything that goes BOOM!

There were so much explosion that we had to split Alison's trip into two. Check out the second part after the jump!

Mornings at the office are always more fun when you get to spend them inside a windowless room watching the funniest Internet videos. Today's topic of discussion? One of the most beloved states in our Union.

"I don't know if we can hit people in the face with chains."

"I'm not from New Jersey. F--- that." 

"Is it only good if we get two girls to beat the sh-- out of each other? Yes."

"Do we have an inhouse Guido?"

"We're afraid of injuring ANYONE, man or woman."

It's Wednesday, which means it's another edition of Actual Great Moments in De-Evolution. And we've also sorta kinda covered this topic before with home-made snacks, but FancyFastFood.com takes it to the next level. Anyone can make a cheap bean burrito like Taco Bell, but can you make a gourmet meal out of only Taco Bell bean burritos?

The folks over at Fancy Fast Food definitely can, as you can see by their recipes for quiche, sushi, and more--all made out of fast food meals (aside from the occasional garnish).

I like the way they think, because they're not trying to push the culinary arts into the next big "green" thing with local, organic and sustainable ingredients that somehow save the Earth. These people know how to work with what's ALREADY BEEN MADE!

I can't wait to see their curly fries amuse-bouche, burger confits and McCafe tiramisu desserts.

The 1,000th episode of Attack of the Show is coming up on July 9th, which means we're celebrating our favorite moments on the blog...like the special balloon torture chamber that we built for Olivia Munn after she shaved Kevin Pereira's head. Fun times!

This moment is brought to you courtesy of Joshua Krane, one of the overlords who keep our little G4 colony in check.

Like nature, the things one hears in the morning meeting are wild and random. However, there's a theme that runs through today's rants. See if you can pick up on the subtle threads that run throughout.

"Like, the girl who just sits there with her mouth open is pretty charming."

"She actually used science!"

"He may have lost funding."

"We're not sure what part of your body has multiple cracks in it."

"We're not getting out of our chairs!"

"It's still on fire and claiming victims."

Come with AOTS to take a look back on one of our most beloved characters, Office Jesus. This video is a compilation of some of his best moments throughout the years.

Inhouse film expert Chris Gore reviews the release of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li for DVDuesday on today's Attack of the Show, and Kevin Pereira actually got to sit down with the adorable Kristin Kreuk when the film was first released. First topic of discussion? Where in the world is the famous Chun-Li qipao??

We know the blue dress never made it to the movie, but it's good to know that we've got Olivia Munn to satiate our Street Fighter cosplay needs. Enjoy Chun-Li's undergarment commercial!
 

The giggles come cheap and easy when the rants fly fast and loose and nowhere do they fly faster and looser than in the Around the Net Writer's Room. Don't believe me? Here's the proof...
 
"That's a sniper, but what's that to the left over there?"

"This video only works on girls."

"It has no production, but in a good way."

"I want it to have an "s." I'll fight for it."

"Are you going to Contact-icon in Burbank?"

"Don't draw on the YouTube!"

What happens when you take liquid nitrogen, a conductive metal, and a magnet? One of the coolest things ever! Kevin Pereira explains it in, It’s #&*%ing Science.
