Give 1-888-4-VAULT-TEC a call. Just do it. Or if you don't have a phone, check out the above-embedded video. After you've done that, come back.

Done? Okay, so you just heard a voice explain that you've reached a nuclear holocaust survival hotline, right? And that you have over 100,000,000 callers in front of you, and you have to wait 78,643 hours, yes? Yes, that's rather odd. Here's the explanation.

This is viral marketing for Bethesda Softworks' upcoming post-apocalyptic RPG Fallout 3, the latest title in what is arguably one of the greatest PC RPG franchises of all time. It has already announced that it's hosting a post-apocalyptic film festival in California. We also just found out hat Fallout 3 will get downloadable content on the PC. The point: things are looking promising on the ironic post-apocalyptic RPG front.

Deus Ex is the epitome of a PC gaming classic. So like other classics, it's been remixed. This modified intro video is patently absurd. It makes no sense whatsoever. But then, that's makes for great humor, right? Monty Python was all about absurdity, after all.

This still might be a bit too silly for some folks. Some of you will eat it up, though. Find out which category you fall into by watching the video. If you laugh, that's a good sign. On the other hand, you might find yourself just saying, "Huhwhaa?" That would be a bad sign. If you've never played Deus Ex before, don't even bother. It already doesn't make any sense if you have. We can't even imagine how lost you would be if you haven't.

Mega64 is a street theater group that re-enacts video games in public places, making them "embarrassingly real." Those re-enactments are recorded on video and displayed on the internet. Previously, the troupe has acted out Hitman, Resident Evil 4, and Ico, among others. One of their videos even guest starred Shigeru Miyamoto! Their latest is based on Assassin's Creed, and it's one of their best yet. We've it embedded here for your viewing pleasure.

This one is particularly brilliant. In the game, Altair performs all these actions in order to keep a low profile. In fact, that's the whole shtick of the game -- blending in. Apparently, though, the activities don't work so well in the real world! If we'd seen this man at our local market, we'd have immediately yelled "Assassin!" in a bad Arabic accent!
