What's the best selling game of the year (in the US)?
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.
These are pretty cool
I graphic arts girl sent me this and I thought it was pretty neat.
These guys basically wrote some kind of compression algorithm to see how much crap they squeeze < 64 KB.
Swag's cool movie: The Wrestler
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.
No, it's not a sports movie.
It's also by one of my favorite directors, Darren Aronofsky!
Request: Burnout Paradise
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.
Sad News: Ricardo Montalban dead at 88
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.
Hmmm...
What game should I choose to PWN y'all in?
Frankly, Halo 3 is starting to wear a little thin... and after only 2 years of continuous play!
I need a new game. Tea-bagging MUST be allowed. It's expected of me.
You suck so much I typed it twice!
You suck.
Nintendo Saved Christmas
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."

Why I love eBay
Due to peer pressure that has caused me in the past to make such intelligent purchasing decisions like GTA4, Halo3 and R6V2, I have succumbed and purchased Rock Band.
So I managed to get Rock Band, Rock Band 2 and all the instruments (albeit corded, but I don't care) for $85 (US that is, shipping included).
God Bless eBay.
Prince: Guitar God
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
'Castle Crashers' anyone? (XLBA)
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.
