  • This really made me giggle. Some roguish rapscallion with an Xbox One has created the gamertag “Xbox Sign 0ut”. Thanks to the magic of Kinect, this causes other gamers to automatically sign out of their consoles whenever they utter his name in multiplayer matches. Sheer, evil genius.

  • Whatever your stance on warfare might be, it can’t be denied that this video compilation of military cock-ups is pretty damn funny. Well, apart from the scary warzone stuff, obviously.
  • Some people like to play video games. Other people like to dress up as their favourite characters in painstakingly designed costumes. Here’s the cream of the crop from 2013, courtesy of Kotaku.
  • CES is still in full swing over in Las Vegas. Alongside the various gadgets is the occasional car manufacturer showing of its latest wares.
