30 Rock has steadily become one of television’s finest shows. In fact, it’s easily the best sitcom on right now. Part of that winning appeal comes from its biting satire that has really taken off in the show’s current second season. Thursday’s episode turned to video games of a decidedly adult nature.
Tracy Jordan, the character played by Saturday Night Live alum Tracy Morgan, decides he must leave his children a legacy. This is all in response to the fact that his son did not invite him to Bring Your Father to School Day. So, what brilliant scheme does he arrive at? Combining his two favorite pleasures–porn and video games.
That’s a fine joke by itself, but the real charm comes from the development of the game. It sparks a debate with one of the characters over the nature of the Uncanny Valley, which then leads to a very funny Star Wars analogy. Unfortunately, the episode ends before the inevitable firestorm the game will surely bring. You’ll just have to tune into a future episode for that. Two clips from the episode are presented, in order. Click here to view the full episode at Hulu.com.

If there’s one thing that keeps Halo 3 fresh, it’s the opportunity to kill your teammates in wonderfully wild, inventive manners. Yes, your teammates. Killing the other guy is so last gen. Anyway, here are two of the best betrayal videos out there.
Are they staged? Hard to say, as some people go to incredible measures to do so. Regardless, they’re still quite humorous. If you have a better one, post a link below.

Remember the good old days of learning to type? You didn’t need an Internet connection! All you needed was Mavis Beacon’s smiling face telling you to type something about a quick brown fox who jumped a lot over canines.
But, alas, those simpler days are gone. Today’s hipster generation loves their Web 2.0 games, such as TypeRacer. TypeRacer is actually a quite fun typing speed contest that lets you compete against others online. Is it World of Warcraft? Not quite, but can Sega be too far behind with Typing of the Dead Online?

What if politics were more like Pokemon? Well, one of the political parties would be guided by Meowth and Mew would be the equivalent of a Mount Rushmore type president, right? Well, something like that anyway.
In the meantime while you ponder over such lofty ideas, consider this short animation. The source of it is unknown, so if someone knows please post and this will be edited to assign credit. If you’re looking for more video game political fun, check out this and this. Enjoy.
