Controller Punch!

I get excited for all kinds of reasons. Recently my girlfriend telling me that she didn’t give no fuck about backne was at the top of that list. And recently-er, Ska Studios announced the release of another game on the Xbox Live Indie Marketplace. This makes me sweat nervously like the first time I touched a woman.

Reportedly, it’ll be a 4 player arcade beat’em up kinda like Castle Crashers TMNT. Maybe.

Charlie Murder will be hitting the virtual shelves in March. Probably.

That’s right, motha! I got myself a Wii!!!

Now, this review is going to be a lead-in to a mini-series of reviews. What franchise will I be toppling? We’ll wait and see…

Before I review this system, let’s take a look at it’s history:

Have you smelt Donkey Kong's loincloth lately?

I just stumbled on something awesome.  The web site Shiobis-Place has created a version of Space Invaders based off the TV show Futurama. For those not familiar, in the episode ‘Anthology of Interest 2′ Fry wonders what life would be like if it was more like a video game – creating a wonderful scene where Lrrr arrives to invade earth.  This game basically replicates the whole scene, with a few added goodies thrown in.  What’s more, it’s FREE.  I suggest donating, since, well, awesome like this doesn’t come along every day.  Get out the Shasta!

I never did play the first Mass Effect, but CHRISTING FUCK this looks awesome. Sorry for taking so long to put this up. The only time I get to work on this website is at my day job. Go figure.

Barrie, Ontario is incredibly screwy and it probably because it is boring place to live. Apparently a 16-year old by the name Andrew Kane met up with a 42 year-old Lauri Price, a mother of four, who had flown in from Texas, to finish a romantic love quest that was started in the World of Warcraft forums.

Talk about leveling up! The teen was missing for 2 days as he disappeared with his 42 year old. The police found the unlikely couple in an Orilla, Futureshop.  Read the rest of this entry »

Issue 250 of Nintendo Power, which you can buy on December 22nd, will reveal that Megaman 10 (that’s 10, not X) is on the way!  Megaman 10 will be a downloadable 8-bit Wiiware game, and I would feel comfortable assuming that XBLA and PSN announcement isn’t far off.  You can read more about the leaked annoucement at Megaman Nation, but just take a second and look at that box art! It’s TERRIBLE! GLORIOUSLY TERRIBLE!

Why so many? It isn’t going to bored tropps overseas. It seems the U.S. Military runs its systems on over 300 PS3′s that have been daisy chained and are running a linux based military software. It has a lot of things to do with shit I don’t know a damn thing about, like GFLOPS and War Mongering, but hey, at least someone is buying them.
