Play DuckHunt on MySpace on InterNet

April 30, 2006 by Dave

It may not be legal, but you can play a whole bunch of NES games in your browser using Java. It also gives you the code to post the games in your blog or whatnot. I could already play NES games on my cell phone but it looks like they’ve got a whole bunch of […]

When you're a kid and you wanna go "Wii" (but you ain't got drugs yet)

April 27, 2006 by Dave

Breaking news! Announced this morning, the Revolution will not be televised! Instead, Nintendo has decided to name its next-gen console Wii. And in other breaking news, we’ve hit 150 posts!

Here's the Plan

April 25, 2006 by Bartoneus

That’s Plan with a capital ‘P’. In the grand heirarchy of schemes, this is the Pharoah King. Here’s the Plan: You are going to go to this site where you can sign up to win a Nintendo Sweepstakes to be the first consumer to play the Nintendo Revolution at E3. Yes, that means you get […]

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)!

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 […]

Dungeons and a Dragon?

April 10, 2006 by Bartoneus

When I first heard about Dungeons & Dragons Online I was very skeptical. The first reason was probably as simple as my un-hinderable lust for World of Warcraft at the time, but I also felt that there was little DDO could do to improve beyond what WoW provides. D&D Online provided a decent amount of […]

A Mystery of the Universe Revealed!

April 9, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

Yes, we finally have a scientific answer to that age-old question, what is the average airspeed velocity of an unlaiden swallow? The article is actually rather old, having been created in 2003, but it is still an excellent scientific jaunt into the world of avian airspeeds. For those not wanting to read the article, swallows […]

Prison Camps Not Just for Scientologists Any More!

April 4, 2006 by DarthCthulhu

Holy crap, is this documentry on so-called WWASP camps hideously disturbing. The documentary is very well done, though of course it betrays its bias (the evil music during the times when the talking heads of the WWASP speak is particularly amusing). I’m inclined to believe this at face value, however; it’s far, far too similiar […]
