Roundup of Unusual Size: I am transfarring this to you FROM THE PAST.

Nightmare Mode is republishing Dire Critic’s ‘Roundup of Unusual Size’, a collection of links put together by site friend, Kris Ligman. It’s like Critical Distance, except we post on the six days of the week that Ben Abraham doesn’t, and there are usually more non-game-related articles… So I guess we’re actually more like Rock, Paper, Shotgun’s Sunday Papers, except less British. You can send Kris recommendations for the roundups via Twitter or email!

We cap off the week with a nice, sedate, trim little roundup of links just to leave you hungry enough for tomorrow’s Critical Distance and Sunday Papers. The ROUS will be back on Monday with my highlights from each, so in the meantime, toodlealoo!

Videogames

Is this real life? No, I’m serious, is transfarring a real thing?

You’ll never guess who’s stopping by the Back to the Future series. Well, actually, you probably can.

Animation

We seem to be on a roll with turning things into anime that have no (or perfect) business being anime. Now it’s Blade‘s turn.

Film

Who loves a good movie montage? Jezebel! And here they’ve gone and recced for you a montage of one of our favorite cliched lines.

SCIENCE!

io9 answers that burning question of why our bodies twitch when we fall asleep. Next I want them to explain yawn tears. They’re embarrassing! (And I just yawned thinking about it!)
