7 Men That Went Through Hell For Their Women!

It’s Valentine’s Day, and you know what that means. It means it’s finally time to take the plunge and ask out that lovely individual you’ve been stalking lately. It also justifies slipping love letters under the bathroom door while they’re showering or sliding one under their pillow while they sleep. It’s not creepy if it’s Valentine’s Day, I always say. After you’re done with that you should read this list I’ve compiled of men who went to through hell — both literally and figuratively — in order to save the woman they love.

I suggest you grab that special someone in your life, snuggle up real close and enjoy this list. I guarantee it will lead to whatever it is two adults do when they like each other a lot. (I zoned out during that “birds and the bees” chat, something about pollinating flowers and storks).

Gaming’s 13 Coolest Interpretations Of Hell

I’m not sure if it’s because of our own morbid curiosity with death or because a world of fire and brimstone sounds supremely badass, but over the years hell has become an incredibly popular destination for video games. Thankfully, this destination is only getting hotter (sorry) over the coming months. Doom 4 is almost definitely going to be revealed at QuakeCon in August, or possibly at E3 in June and Diablo III is finally coming to take me away from my friends and job in just a few short weeks. As a gamer, I’ve been to hell more times than Kratos sand Dante combined and I’ve managed to escape those festering pits mostly unscathed. From the nine circles in Dante’s Inferno to Silent Hill’s Otherworld, here are my ten favorite trips to hell so far.

E3: UPDATE: Hilarious! Protestors Picket ‘Dante’s Inferno’

Update: We learned that this protest was staged. Nice try f*ckos…

There is nothing funnier in life than protesters, especially people who think they know how you should live your life. There’s a group of individuals who apparently know exactly what hell is like and don’t enjoy the fact that EA is bringing it to households in the form of a video game.

Thanks to 1up for catching the group of psychos at E3 protesting EA’s forthcoming Dante’s Inferno, which will follow Dante’s journey through the nine circles of Hell — limbo, lust, gluttony, greed, anger, heresy, violence, fraud and treachery — in search of his true love, Beatrice.

I can only imagine what these individuals will do when Universal makes the feature film and Anchor Bay releases the animated feature. Click the image below for the story!
