Swag's blog

Ok I don't need that last part, and in all honesty it's probably not even a date, but I can dream can't I?

Post advice here! Help a guy out who isn't old, broken down, and decrepit!

For obvious reasons I will not say where I am going, since I don't want any Aku 'interference' or 'help'.

Nor will I post a picture of her, but I can give hints. I was thinking of an Aku-script name for her, and I think I'll just go with Egyptian-girl.

I know that Aku was asking about it. It's supposed to be pretty good too. Damn you people.

Note: It's from a Third Party developer, finally.

After a long hiatus, mostly from the complaining of a certain member on here, swag's classic clip is back!

And it's time to sex things up. One could argue that this video applies to both genders. Read more

Sweet:

I find it somewhat strange that a game with ZOMBIES (well, technically they might not be zombies, but still) and CO-OP has gone completely unnoticed on this site.

That being said, I was quite looking forward to this game after the amazing Resident Evil 4 for the GameCube. They have kept the same over-the-shoulder third person view, similar game mechanics, and have added another character that tags along with you. Read more

While I was always wondering where the police in Burout Paradise were hiding (as mentioned to Q-bert last night), apparently they might be leaving the doughnut shops soon via the new DLC.

Btw, does anyone know when the new island is coming out?

Yes, I realize that JRPGs are not very popular on this site, and I am not the biggest fan of them myself. But you have to hand it to the Japanese, they know how to make a what essentially is a contrasting, grandiose art piece. It's cool if anything else: Read more

You'll never look at Bender the same again:

(Common voice: John Di Maggio)

Another notable one is Andrew Ryan (from Bioshock) and Quark (from Star Trek: DS9), both voiced by Armin Shimerman.

Wii play.

That's right, a controller with a bunch of (from what I have played and seen) crappy mini games.

Some will argue that it's not a game at all. But it's still number 1.

Also note that most of the games are for the Wii, and Mario Kart DS (sitting at #10) has been out for over three years. Where's Halo3 after only a little over a year? Gone. That's because it only has a initial sales spike, then nobody buys it.

Yes, it is that time again. While only a select few of you were smart enough to see JCVD, I now present a movie that will probably appeal to more people. Some of you may have heard of this movie already, like how Mickey Rourke just won a Golden Globe award for best actor.

The Wrestler

No, it's not a sports movie.

It's also by one of my favorite directors, Darren Aronofsky!

We needs it. We wants it!

I have looked at Future shop (they don't have it), best buy (30$, but out of stock), amazon (don't have it), and ebay (this looks best, but right now there isn't anything good).

If anyone wants to sell their copy, let me borrow it, know of a good deal, etc, then please let me know.

Yes, we all know him as the actor on "Fantasy Island" and especially "Star Trek 2: The Wrath Of Khan" (one of my favorite movies of all time).

I'm somewhat surprised that this hasn't been posted yet.

Rest in Peace.

Yeah, that's right.

It's been a while since I posted any good Nintendo news, hopefully I don't sound like too much of a hypocrite (I have a Nintendo DS too btw).

"Nintendo Wii and DS software unit and dollar sales will account for over 50 percent of all games sold in December," Divnich says. "Without these sales, the industry would have likely felt the full wrath of the recession."

In the spirit of Guitar Hero and Rock band, I would like to share a video of a truly amazing guitarist, Prince.

You heard me. It's a little known fact that Prince can play the guitar with the best of them.

Skip to about 3:30 to see Prince's solo. Try doing that with a 5 button guitar. Read more

If anyone is interested in getting Castle Crashers for XBox arcade then let me know. I am searching for a good Xbox live game (that isn't too expensive), and this way I would get it instantly instead of having to ship it or go to a store.

I think it would be a great multiplayer game. If anyone here has ever played Double Dragon, TMNT, streets of rage, etc, then I think you would enjoy this game.

Yes, there have been serious problems with this game (users had trouble connecting on Xbox live), but this recently has been fixed.
