Did you know?

Long before there was Charles Marinet, Bob Hoskins, Walker Boone, or Captain Lou, Mario was a silent movie star. LBD "Nytetrayn"
Amusing sigs, from the PA forums.

Humor is the name of the game.

Shopping for a Batmobile. And if you liked Super Mario Bros. Z episode 1, then you might like episode 2, now with more fighting(but don't worry, it still keeps the Mario tone). The action part of this series kicks off with this episode, and hopefully the fight scenes...
4chan’s influence.
May 20, 2006 | Commentary, Video Games
So there's this meme in 4chan wherein they took a panel of a comic, and removed whatever it was that these scientists(?) are supposed to be seeing, thereby letting creative types fill in the blanks. Me, I had to go a few steps further. Also, for no reason at all...
Oh, Right. Sure.

That's pretty much what David Reeves, the CEO for Sony Computer Entertainment Europe, had to say yesterday. "We have built up a certain brand equity over time since the launch of PlayStation in 1995 and PS2 in 2000 that the first five million are going to buy it,...
New Super Mario Bros.: Did you notice…?
May 17, 2006 | Commentary, Video Games
If you come across a red Koopa Troopa(they're easier to keep an eye on) or a Goomba in New Super Mario Bros., keep an eye on them. They dance to the music on certain beats. Gotta love the small touches in a game. Also, the Power-Ups seem to do it, too; a Magic...
What is love?
May 17, 2006 | Commentary, Video Games
New Super Mario Bros. is love. Pure love. Ah, but if only I knew about animating gifs... LBD "Nytetrayn"
Hmm.
May 16, 2006 | Commentary, Video Games
One thing woekitten and I agree on is that we really do feel bad for the fate which befell Gunpei Yokoi, during Yamauchi's administration at Nintendo. The man came up with all manner of creations in R&D1, including Metroid, Kid Icarus, and Game & Watch. Before...
Surprise, surprise. This has nothing to do with E3.
May 11, 2006 | Tubin', Video Games
And in a way, I'm regretful of that. Because it means no new game for the series was announced. Well, except for the arcade original being on XBox Live Arcade. So I guess this is a celebration of that. Anyway, in the interest of sharing, and because someone FINALLY...
Oh my God… Pac-Man: The Movie

This had me in tears! XD This is... wow. What can I say? It's like the Hollywood mentality. It's just so perfect. I have to find a way to save this... LBD "Nytetrayn"
Sonic the Hedgehog
May 4, 2006 | Commentary, Video Games
Yeah, I'm stoked. Gives me a reason to look at another next-gen besides the Wii, anyway. Though with money being what it is, I'm not sure if that's good or bad, but I shan't complain. That is the nature of the business, and I've known this for years now, like it or...
Where Can You Find It?

As though the name "Wii" hasn't been hammered on enough already, here's a little more, in defense of the name. I pretty much get what he's saying, and agree with it, particularly with the international part. One has to admit, "Nintendo Wii" does sound a little more...
DiC Nintendo Cartoons: A Primer
Apr 11, 2006 | Commentary, Video Games
I just typed a reply to a topic over at Penny Arcade regarding the Mario toons, and it went longer than I'd expected. Since I invested all that into my post, I'd hate to see it disappear with another forum crash, or simply age, so I'm reposting it here. Super Mario...
Is Sonic “Bad?”
Apr 11, 2006 | Tubin', Video Games
Did Michael Jackson help create the soundtrack for Sonic 3? Some people seem to think so. It's interesting, to say the least. And the replacement music really sucks, also, to say the least. Wish they'd gone into more depth. Like that last MJ song, what was that...
You can’t deny Mario’s popularity
Apr 9, 2006 | Tubin', Video Games
LONG music video, all about Mario, some light rap to Super Mario Land tunes. Tons of commercials and animation from the US and Japan, maybe even some Europe, too. LBD "Nytetrayn"
HERE COMES THE PAIN.
Mar 18, 2006 | Tubin', Video Games
Behold. The CDi intros and endings for their Zelda games. Watch at your own risk. Interestingly enough, according to Guard Convoy who posted this at The Allspark, the gameplay is surprisingly solid despite some silly mechanics, like one-hit bosses(with the right...
I thought this was kind of funny.

Has it really been 12 years already?? Well, congrats to one of my favorite Sonic characters. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Wow, can you believe it's been five years of All Your Base already? This is a nift little tribute. And if that's not your thing, maybe you'd like Donkey Kong Country 1 1/2 better. Within, you'll discover the ultimate fate of King K. Rool. No, really! LBD...

A Super Mario Story
Feb 9, 2006 | Tubin', Video Games
Pretty nift Mario Flash movie. The drawn style looks really good. While I'm at it, some other funny ones: Super Mario Bros. Bloopers Super Mario Bros. 2 Bloopers(kinda NSFW) Super Mario Bros. 3 Bloopers LBD "Nytetrayn"
