Mario and the Princess Fight

Oh, man. This is some funny shit. I stumbled across this video just now from ManiacWorld.com and I’m so glad I did. I tried to figure out how to embed the video here, but I couldn’t. So instead, you just get a screen shot and will need to click through to watch the video on their site. DO IT.

P.S. Has anyone else had issues after upgrading to the latest Firefox? I’m having issues seeing videos and it’s making me sad :(



The Beatles Rock Band Trailer

July 1st, 2009

I keep meaning to post this and then I keep forgetting. No mas! Here is the trailer for the Beatles Rock Band due out on September 9th, 2009:

The singing parts are going to take people with some decent skills. It’s hard enough to sing alone. It’ll be interesting to see how people do with those harmonies.

Here’s the scoop about the game from the official site:

The Beatles™: Rock Band™ will allow fans to pick up the guitar, bass, mic or drums and experience The Beatles’ extraordinary catalogue of music through gameplay that takes players on a journey through the legacy and evolution of the band’s legendary career. Available simultaneously worldwide in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other territories for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™ system from Nintendo on Sept. 9, 2009, the game will be compatible with all Rock Band™ controllers, as well as most Guitar Hero® and authorized third party instrument controllers and microphones.

Midway Hooks Up with Warner Bros.

June 30th, 2009

In relationship news, Midway Games – who brought us classics like Space Invaders, Mortal Kombat, Pac-Man and Tron – just took themselves off the market and decided to settle down with Warner Brothers, the only suitor willing to marry them despite their bad credit.

Back in May, Warner Brothers made an offer of $33 million dollars to purchase the bankrupt Midway Games. Not wanting to seem to eager, Midway decided to open things up for bidding and waited a month hoping for a bidding war. In a somewhat embarrassing turn of events, there wasn’t a single competitive offer. So, Midway ended the auction and graciously accepted the original offer.

R.I.P. Michael Jackson

June 25th, 2009

It’s hard to believe, but it’s true. Michael Jackson is officially dead. It’s so sad. My first concert was Michael Jackson. When I was little, I used to spin Thriller and lay in the floor next to the album sleeve fantasizing about the day we would get married and he would let me play with his tigers.

Jackson

I had 5 or 6 t-shirts (I wish I’d saved those) and wore them religiously. And now … he’s gone. So sad. Such a tragedy. Thanks for the memories, MJ. :(

Thanks to Sarah for sending this link my way. I bet she’d have the same reaction if I canceled her Twitter account.



Well Played, Mountain Dew. Well Played.

June 21st, 2009

Here’s the new spot for Mountain Dew Game Fuel: World Of Warcraft. I’m stoked that they actually cast women in the commercial who weren’t sloths, whores or given lines about how much they love going to the store to buy sodas for their WoW-playing boyfriends. Kudos to you guys for keepin’ it real.
