Here is the VR tech demo that Epic Games has been showing off at all the conventions using the latest VR headsets. I’ve seen it in VR and it’s better there. The video doesn’t quiet convey the user’s ability to look around and see the scene in 3D.
Another great demo with the same ‘on the rails’ feel is the Avengers: Age of Ultron VR experience. There you get a similar scripted action scene in slow motion 3D between the Avengers and Ultron in the Avenger’s tower.
This is the second installment of Justice League: Gods and Monsters, a project that will release a series of animated episodes daily June 8th – 12th. This time we get to see Superman face off against Brainiac.
Mad Max fan Daz Tibbles created a proof of concept animated Mad Max. The Mad Max franchise has always felt like a series of adventures, so an animated series makes a lot of sense. We’d watch it, would you?
This is the first installment of Justice League: Gods and Monsters, a project that will release a series of animated episodes daily June 8th – 12th. Bruce Timm and Machinma worked together to bring an alternate version of the Justice League to life. Because the project is released online expect an edgier, darker take on the DC Universe.

The folks at WTFLOL have created a parody of the many "versus" YouTube videos around. This time they are pitting Jason from Friday the 13th against Scorpion from Mortal Kombat.
BlobVanDam is a 3D animator and a Doctor Who fan. Combing this love of Doctor Who with the Lego Style has resulted in two great looking fan shorts. The first recreates the Time of the Doctor episode where Matt Smith turns into Peter Capaldi. The other is a short example of what a Lego Doctor Who game might look like.
The Yaskawa Electric Corporation teach a robot the fine art of sword wielding. Then have it compete with Japanese sword master swordsman Isao Machii.
The folks at HelloDenizen have produced this super cute video of a hamster wreaking a city. Guess he’s watched too many Godzilla films.
Man at Arms makes some of the best arms and armor. This week, they’re building Aragorn's sword Narsil, which was used to forge Andúril, from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy!
Watch this great fan short that Adrewfilm created. He gave the Lego treatment to some of his favorite games like: Portal, Skyrim, Bioshock, and Counter Strike.
PREDATOR: Dark Ages is a short fan film funded in part by Kickstarter backers. It is the best Predator fan film we’ve seen and in our opinion is better than those Alien Versus Predator movies. Great job folks!
The Racka Racka have produced a video finishing the long standing battle between Call of Duty fans and Halo fans. They bring the deathmatch to the our world with hilarious consequences.
Comic fan Saruhan Saral created an amazing short film in which your favorite DC and Marvel characters throw down in a free for all battle royale. Watch it below.
Christopher Haley, created this Bond influenced Black Widow film opening sequence in After Effects as a final class project.

While not as startling as the Batman or Superman shorts in this series it’s interesting to see this take on a Wonder Woman who was raised in the ultra-violent realm of Ares.
