Mario is one of the most prominent names in the video games industry, and so, understandably, quite a few of the memes that are popular today are offspring of the Mario franchise, coming from either of the many forms that the Italian plumber has appeared in- be it as a doctor, a go karting racer or in a normal platformer. Here is a list of 50 of what we believe are the most hilarious Mario memes you will ever come across. Have a look, enjoy, and leave behind your feedback in the comments section below!...

I don't just mean visually, because let's face it, these days what you're seeing here isn't that out of the ordinary. But look at the game mechanics on display, compare them to PC games of the same ilk and wonder why the hell hasn't anyone done this earlier?...

There are a few iconic leading men and women in video games, but for the most part, their worlds are populated by extras. People and anthropomorphic objects whose job is to do the same thing over and over again. We asked you to show us what those characters are up to these days.

Before the advent of electricity, mankind rightly feared the darkness and the thousands of hungry wolves lurking within. Now that we live in a world where eternal daytime can be summoned with the flick of a light switch, the lessons taught by every fairy tale put to print -- stay out of dark, spooky places -- can safely be ignored, since our smartphones alone can easily cut a swath through the blackness of night....

We received the sad news this week that Irrational Games was delaying the release of BioShock Infinite into early 2013. The company wants more time to fine tune the experience and make it as perfect as possible. It’s a respectable and justifiable business decision, even if we have to bite our tongues and shake our fists to admit it....

When it comes to mainstream gaming, few titles have approached sex scenes with the style and vigor of the God of War series. Pretty much any time Kratos has knocked boots is worthy of bros recognizing it via their fists, but if we had to choose one, it's Kratos getting with the Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite. Bedding a deity is an achievement few mortals (or demigods) live to brag about....

BMX? Mountain Dew? Bros don't care about that stuff. Bros like ESPN, Russell Crowe and swimsuit issues.

Gone are the days when video games had small little ‘mario” kind of worlds. The introduction of 3D game play also meant that the environments had to be bigger and larger in size. Initially this trend was only restricted to well know role playing games, but later on, it also expanded to other genres like racing and sandbox. To help us navigate these large worlds, our friends from TravelInsurance.org have compiled the infographic below....

We joke about all the clicking in Diablo III, but broken mice and swollen wrists are no joke. They’re bad things which make us sad.

Compared to the increasing prevalence of LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender) characters and storylines in other media -- from same-sex prom dates on Glee to gay headmasters in Harry Potter - video games remain relatively stuck in the Dark Ages. Games and gamers alike may have matured quite a bit in the past 40 years. But when it comes to sexuality, the more things change, the more they stay the same....

Tens of millions of adults spend all their free time in fictional worlds that are full of more tedious work and assholes than most real-life jobs. Combining Internet anonymity with people who have absurd amounts of free time, massive multiplayer online role-playing Gamers (MMORPG)are a better guarantee of asshole-ry than a digestive system, and yield uglier results. But there are some spectacular douche bags who have put more work into screwing with strangers than should be humanly possible....

Skyrim may not have the greatest visuals on a technical level, but Bethesda really outdid themselves when it comes to art design.

I think it is safe to say that this year at least marks a new beginning for the MMORPG genre. For the first time in years, developers are producing games that seem like something other than World of Warcraft or EverQuest clones. TERA, Guild Wars 2, and The Secret World all have ideas within them that warrant some attention, and even Blizzard is mixing things up a little with Mists of Pandaria. All in all, it is a good year to be an MMO fan. But will these new games still be standing as tall this time next year?...

Does it ever seem like you spend more time reading websites about video games than you do actually, you know, playing them?

It's a universal truth: games are supposed to be fun.
