Mortal Kombat LipSync

January 19, 2006 by The Bored Gamer

This is both quite scary and humorous at the same time. Not quite as good as the Ultimate Showdown ( of Ultimate Destiny ), but enough to be posted. From Joystiq: Mortal Kombat – LipSync

Please Choose your Race.

January 19, 2006 by Bartoneus

Player killed the Videogame Star, Part 1

January 14, 2006 by Bartoneus

Do Not Go 360 degrees of X-Box Crazy

November 28, 2005 by drscotto

My good friends over at IGN have published an article that is worth reading before you spend your money on a Microsoft X-Box 360. While it is true that Sony has many problems that do not complement a company that needs a strong consumer base, their saving grace will still be the Playstation game system. […]

As sort of a followup to my Nerd Songs post, there’s a lot of musical tributes to those powerful plumbers, Super Mario Brothers. Most of them are videos of tribute medleys.

About the Author

  • joshx0rfz

    Josh was never born, he is, was and always will be. He is the solution to the Prime Mover dilemma. He plays video games entirely too much and his opinion to knowledge ratio is out of whack. Meaning, too much opinion, not enough knowledge.
