Where Have All the Mascots Gone?
I liked this one so much, I decided to give it its own space. Next-Generation takes a look at CULTURE: Mascots and Messages: "Whatever happened to the videogame mascot? Here, Eric-Jon R?ssel Waugh uses Sonic the Hedgehog as a prime example of the good and not-so-good...
Do the Mario
A medley of clips from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. My favorite is where Toad taunts the Bob-omb... LBD "Nytetrayn"
Rock the Plumbers
Super Mario Bros. Z, episode 3! Pretty good, IMO. Still got the funny, and a whompass fight scene to boot. 😀 LBD "Nytetrayn"
SEGA!
XBoxyde has some new gameplay movies of Sonic the Hedgehog. Looks good, here's hoping that SEGA is putting as much into this one as they did the last time they had to launch a system... namely, their own. Sadly, no Shadow is present. I really, really want something...
Mario Mania
You can bet your ass I plan to go to this. And for those who aren't in Canada(and even those who are), a neat little something on YouTube: a speedrun of Super Mario Sunshine, and I think it's even got the ending and such. Of course, a game like SMS probably isn't...
The Happiest of Meals
It started with an essay. Well, more like an "essay." Over at The Allspark, Defunct said a few words about recent McDonald's Happy Meal offerings, namely Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean. Myself, not without any lack of memories of good times(taste disputed) at...
Bidding Has Ended.
So, that factory-sealed Super Mario Bros. 2 auction I was watching ended, and damn. $155? Not bad. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Sonic and Gang
So, I've been reading up on Sonic lately in Wikipedia. It started when I was verifying some details for Gelg and Chris online regarding the Death Egg in Sonic 2 through Sonic & Knuckles, but I've been finding interesting little bits along the way, and I've just been...
Grand Finale?
So, some of you out there may be familiar with a little series of Flash movies simply titled "Mario Bros." Bowser makes plans to kidnap the Princess, Luigi dies in the initial strike, dramatic music, sprites from the first Super Mario Bros.... if you need a refresher,...
Happy Birthday, Mista Prezident!
Wow, now this is an interesting way to promote your product... I want a DS Lite. 🙁 Anyway, I laughed. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Is Konami Listening?
Posted for the benefit of Toastyfrog and any other Castlevania fans reading this. A little Flash movie titled" Castlevania Online. Gotta admit, the idea's got some merit. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Live and Uncut
Reading about cuts and things in games, and looking at stuff on YouTube... a thought occured to me. There's all this talk about the potential for new content to be downloaded online with the next generation of systems. New cars, new weapons, new maps... Is it possible...
Useless(But Fun) Trivia
I love reading Wikipedia. I find out so much useless(along with the occassional useful) trivia. For instance, did you know that in the old TMNT cartoon, Casey Jones was played by Pat Fraley? Ok, that's nothing, in itself. But more recently, he also played Shy Guy in...
End of the Saga
Holy fucking Hell. FINALLY went back and beat Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga tonight, after spending the past week or so leveling myself up to 50. Bowletta went down pretty fucking fast, after all that. And thanks to my speed increase, I was able to get the necessary...
PS Pondering
Sony says that the XBox 360 is a "transitional product," while the PS3 is made to last "for many years to come." This intrigues me. Does this mean to imply that whereas the 360 will be obsolete in roughly five years, that the PS3 will still be Sony's entry into the...

I am such a geek.
I am such a geek, clearly, because I'd so buy this if I had the money. It does remind me of something I forgot to mention earlier, though. In EGM, I believe, they gave a "minus" to the Wii because it requires some sort of purchase to be able to play DVDs. Who. The....
Method to the Madness
Or, "The Truth Behind The Backwards-Compatible XBox 360 Titles." LBD "Nytetrayn"
Read a few interesting bits while out today…
One being a rumor in EGM that Guitar Hero II may have the Mega Man theme included, among other "classic" tracks. Would certainly be interesting. In Play, they did a bunch of interviews, including Inafune. It was mostly about his new games, though a question came up, I...
Thanks to VG Cats for the tip
Thank God Futurama is coming back. To celebrate, here is a terrifying message from Al Gore. LBD "Nytetrayn"
