The Hunger Games in Minecraft, Hitomi's boobs, Francis reacts to the Mass Effect 3 ending, plus a bonus Zelda moment.
Screen Tear is GameSpot's video game clip show, starring the magnificently chin-bearded Carlos Rodela, the man who watches way more silly YouTube videos than is healthy. Screen Tear hits the Tubes every Wednesday, and each week brings you the newest, funniest, weirdest, and most entertaining video game clips from the past week.
In this week's episode we celebrate the cultural significance of The Hunger Games, watch Internet-sensation Francis react to the Mass Effect 3 ending, ponder Hitomi's boobs, and enjoy a Zelda sex scene.

also i'll be covering E3 with the rest of the crew this year - so look for me there (ill be the guy running around with a mic) and feel free to tweet at me while im there if theres something youd like me to go cover.
Hmm I don't know why isn't the show on the first page of GS as it used to be..... or was I missing something? I feel bad that the show doesn't get as much attention as it should. If you would write Mass Effect 3 Alternative ending as the tittle the page would be boomed with comments and views...... Nice episode I hope it wasn't the last one in the history though
@_Judas_ He's right in a lot of ways, I agree, but he doesn't factor in the overpowering factor of consumerism. If you want to boycott a product, like he suggests, and force the producer to change what it makes, you also have to force the consumer to change what they buy instead. People won't just hold onto their money and wait. That money will burn a hole in their pockets. If they can't find an alternative for spending, they will just end up spending it on the same thing over and over again. Consumers must consume. What's the big alternative to Mass Effect in the same genre?
I understand making the show a bit shorter to catch viewers, but I kinda missed the greater variety of clips the extra time allowed. Always great to have somebody point out an awkward moment, cause that just makes it more so. All in All, a great show, though having Homer do some over reactions to games might spice it up. Also, I found the Zelda sex strangely erotic (crickets chipping).
@GreySeven ah, that kinda...ruins it a bit. It's much more funnier if he actually was like that instead of an act. What do you think? He does have some good points about the gaming industry though.
The guy raging at the ME3 ending is fantastic :lol: . 'Here's the writer of this series, writing the ending to its game' *shows dog taking a crap* :lol:
hmm, the show is shorter? :/ If it is shorter, It has to have at least two episodes a week :) And maybe a touch of Homer, and make him wear the bowl on his head
@harkonnen84 @jhonel83 we are also trying out the show shorter for the youtubers who like 2-3min vids. I would like it around 6-10 but we're experimenting. a lot of other shows don't really try new sh$t tho yknow? so we're taking suggestions, mixin it up, and seeing what sticks. I appreciate the honest feedback gamespot users have given us!
@Harkonnen84 Well, the full videos are there for you, just click the links. If you really want some video game comedy go to dorkly.com and check their videos.
that..... thats it? I feel like i should throw in an arrow to the knee meme or something. checkout the cheezeburger network next time you run out of vids and make a 3 min clip next week.
what face am I making in that show thumbnail? geesh. and i'm kinda liking all the attention we've (unintentionally) put on 'francis' (boogie2988) and his 'characters'. like i've said, it may be positioned as characters, but it's also just a part of him. you can tell - he prob grew out of that version of himself. *my thoughts
