This fan-made Megaman movie is most certainly something I couldn’t put together myself; but then again, why would I want to?

is anyone else playing rune factory 2?
My girlfriend started playing Rune Factory 2 last week, and I didn’t even know it was out yet as the internet just hasn’t been talking about it. I picked it up and played a little last night and it was really fun! I already like it more than Rune Factory, and my girlfriend who played through much of the original Rune Factory already says it’s great.
We both have a huge soft...

adventure
Benny Boeldt is Adventure. Not the video game, but the dance floor wizard that manages to take the best elements of 8 bit video game soundtracks of yesteryear and turn them into dance floor friendly pop songs.
Utilyzing an incredible pallette of sounds; he’s able to craft simple, but incredibly catchy songs (hence the simplicity) and through his music, he almost creates a video game...

Don't Import Mother 3 From Toys N Joys
They’re lying when they say they have it in stock. They’ve already charged my credit card and recently sent me an email informing me it’s on back order and it could take up to ten days before they even have a copy.
So whatever you do, take my advice and don’t buy Mother 3 from here.

national geographic presents: africa
National Geographic has picked up SCE’s African photography/expedition game and it’s expected to be released next month for the PS3.
The game’s premise reminds me of a less wacky Pokémon Snap, but it should still be really cool as the graphics are great, and with the moderate success of other simple wildlife exploration games such as Endless Ocean; it only makes sense for...

Good Gift Get! Mixa
This post is part of the Good Gift Get! Series. A collection of posts catering to the geek in your life you still need Christmas gift ideas for.
Mixa is a really awesome concept that allows you to design a USB “mixtape” and it’s sleeve for about fourty U.S dollars. The USB cassette is one gig which could probably be more, but the idea is just too cool.
You can make one...

cave story wii
I’m pretty stoked about Cave Story coming to the Wii and I’ve been enjoying the comparison shots that Nicalis has been posting for the sprites.
However after seeing some new comparison screens on GoNintendo, I’ve decided that perhaps a Cave Story remake isn’t the best idea. I’m excited that it’s coming to the Wii and I’m more than happy that...

ps3 fanboy thinks douchebaggery from g4 is funny
PS3 Fanboy posted this article about G4 and the PS3:
“So what happens when G4 gets two guys to break sh*t? Well, you get an interesting experiment to see which console is the most durable. The PS3, 360 and Wii are all put to the test in an incredible test of physical endurance. Which one comes out on top? Thankfully, the PS3. Considering the machine costs at least $400, we’re glad...

My girlfriend found these kicks that reminded her of David Bowie’s album cover for Alladin Sane.
They’re available at Delias if you want ‘em.

mike capps is hilarious
Epic games president Mike Capps is on the record as saying that a viable solution to the used game problem is to lock out used game buyers with a $20 code that they’ll need to purchase in order to beat the game.
More specifically Capps is talking about Gamestop and their killer used games market and while I agree with the fact that many sales are lost because of Gamestop, why do these...

Final Fantasy - Plays To Please
Incredible violinist Owen Pallett of Arcade Fire and Beirut fame continues to impress me with his homosexual video game inspired tunes and he seems to be getting better with each successive release. In Final Fantasy’s newest EP, Pallett decides to spin his outrageous lyricism and vocals with a 1920s musical style fit for a stage.
I suggest spinning it.

Good Game Get! mother 3
Shigesato Itoi didn’t pen the ending to Mother 3 until the game was almost finished. Then he placed himself in isolation and wrote it. Supposedly the Nintendo 64 version of the game was much darker, but Itoi felt that was a was a better person when working on the GBA version and so he made it lighter.
If you choose to experience Mother 3, I’ll have you know that nothing will prepare you for the...

Image Importing Is In LittleBigPlanet
The above image is from Media Molecule’s Flickr account. While Sony says that image importing won’t be coming anytime soon, it seems that Media Molecule already had the feature finished for the game.
Hopefully the release of this photo will prompt Sony to allow MM to release the patch, but we’ll see.
