Hilarity Ensues

April 24, 2006 by Bartoneus

This clip is simply too hilarious not to post on here. It’s a commercial for Firefox that is fane-made, which just shows how talented some people are outside of any particular business like marketing. The simplicity and retardedness are what make it really shine, but trust me, if you’ve ever used the internet (if you […]

Live Action Mike Tyson's Punch Out!

April 23, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

Here is proof that Japanese high schools are far superior to those here in the States.

Federal Breast Investigator

April 21, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

This is both funny and sad at one time. A 76 year old man went door-to-door posing as a doctor and offering freee breast examinations. The man had some cahonies, but what is most jaw-droppingly amazing about this story is that at least two women agreed (and possibly more)!

Are video games art?

April 21, 2006 by joshx0rfz

Just picked this up from slashdot. I of course think they are. The debate as well as having artistic and philosophical consequences would also designate whether games would get first amendment protection easily or not. It is late however and I will edit and post my more in-depth thoughts on the subject when I get […]

Secret War Re-Enactment Society

April 19, 2006 by Dave

I know it’s probably already made the rounds, but if you like comics or like making fun of comic book geeks, and even if you don’t have a clue what Secret Wars was, check out this video if only for a badly dressed Hulk playing frisbee.

It's About Time!

April 19, 2006 by Bartoneus

Gamespot has finally added the 11 year old classic, Chrono Trigger, to their list of the Greatest Games of All Time.  It comes with a nice write up about the game, which was released in 1995 and yet still invokes passion and nostalgia in many a gamer.  Possibly the most interesting part is the discussion […]

Planetside – Reserves

April 17, 2006 by joshx0rfz

I played in the Planetside beta but didn’t want to pay for it when it was officially released. I thought it was alot of fun but not worth $15 a month. Recently Sony has released a free version which allows people to play and level their character up to a certain threshhold. If you want […]

Spore!

April 14, 2006 by drscotto

Thanks to Dennis for bringing this computer game to my attention. Since it has not yet appeared on this website though, I have decided to share the glory that is Spore. Spore is a game where the player starts out as a micro organism in a petree dish/raindrop/blob of ooze and evolves. After a certain […]

Wal-Mart – Smiley Face of DOOM (albeit with no violence)

April 12, 2006 by joshx0rfz

So, I was looking at some site (probably slashdot or boingboing, where I find most of the stuff I find interesting) and ran across this article on Wal-Mart and the influence it has on the gaming industry. It’s pretty well written and I recommend reading it. Here is a brief synopsis – “Big corporation bad!”. […]

Kingdom Hearts II Review

April 12, 2006 by drscotto

When I first heard about Square-Enix’s decision to release another RPG based around one of my favorites on PS2 I was thrilled. Since that day I have been reading weekly updates about the game, watching the brief game play videos, and hearing what other gamers who enjoyed the first one had to say. After a […]
