This Serious - A New Pokémon Webcomic

We all already know and love Maré Odomo’s awesome and now finished Letters to an Absent Father comic featuring a lonely Ash Ketchum writing his father. How about something new (and not as sad) starring Charmander and a lovable dumb Squirtle? Byron Buslig is responsible for This Serious, a wacky and mostly nonsensical tale about Squirtle and Charmander trying to live their lives outside...

$434,000 Federal Tax Dollars Are Being Used To...

I have so many words for this, but I feel like it speaks for itself. I’m sorry fellow gamer and American. I’m really god damn sorry this is happening. I also apologize to all of the students that could have used that money for scholarships and grants to the University of Central Florida, or anything else that would’ve helped society. - Kyle via gammasquad

The Definitive Pokémon Black & White Trailer

This trailer covers some mad cool shit that I don’t even quite get because I don’t speak or read the language. All of the new internet features look incredible though, including what appears a special website integration where your Pokémon dream and end up in the tubes! Perhaps this is the new alternative to the Pokéwalker? Did you like the whole dressing your Pokémon up,...

Good Game Get! Video Review: Castlevania Puzzle:...

Why aren’t more people playing or talking about this game? I don’t know, so I decided to talk about and play it at the same time Thanks to Aaron for gifting it to me. It’s great fun and the whole Castlevania being mashed up into a puzzle thing is actually pretty genius. Get it. - Kyle

Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game Shirt

Look at those three slain beer cups around him! Scott stopped drinking a little while after Envy Adams broke up with him, so I can totally see the awesomeness in tumbling those cups over with his rock. Mighty Fine has the shirt, along with a selection of other fairly cool Scott Pilgrim shirts. - Kyle

Easy as Pie Pixel Painting: Stephen Lavelle's...

I did the above image in no time admittedly with little effort using Increpare’s awesome pixel painting web app, Monopoint. Here is a rad Ghastly my girlfriend made: It’s dead simple, monochromatic, and uses pixel interpolation for the fancy magic that I don’t quite understand yet, but have had such a blast using to make images. I dig it so much when mathematical and...

Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game Overworld

Paul Robertson’s art direction is totally genius as evidenced below. Scott Pilgrim VS. The World: The Game could kill two birds with one stone by being the greatest nostalgic video game tribute game ever and the best graphic novel gone movie gone game ever. Anticipation! - Kyle

Metal Gear Smile: Meeting an Idol

You might not believe it, but I made Hideo Kojima do something not many people have seen. I made him smile. Last month, a few friends and I headed down to SoHo’s Uniqlo Store to stand in line and wait for an opportunity to shake the hand of Mr. Metal Gear. By the time we made our way to the end of the line, we had already had wrapped halfway around the block. Being two hours early, was...

The Nintendo Brownie: Personal Snapshots with...

Whoa shit. Didn’t know (until Duncan of Micorcartridge gave me a heads up) that Eric over at Tiny Cartridge did a great post about this very thing like four months ago! Micorcartridge is a simple blog dedicated to WarioWare D.I.Y. MicroGames and has a brief description that calls the games - video game snapshots. This is intriguing because the description links to an article by Ian...

You Cut Me Off Mid-Funk

Not really video game related, but awesome, so kind of related in a distant cousin sort of way. - Kyle

Scott Pilgrim's Finest Hour Out Today! Scott...

Oh. I guess I said everything I needed to say in the title. (Oh yeah, Xbox Live gets the game a week after the PSN release because of some Summer of Arcade bullshit. Which does kind of look cool, but they should at least replace the crap city citizen known as Hydro Thunder with Scott Pilgrim.) - Kyle

Wooden NES

Pretty rad, but sadly and understandably just a sculpture. It also is supposedly still available for purchase as the eBay auction bombed. You can see some real butt-ugly portable wooden Nintendo systems, here and here. - Kyle via bento and Sci-Fi Wasabi

Good Game Get! Helsing's Fire

Helsing’s Fire is a puzzle game. Which admittedly sounds kind of boring, but it’s also a puzzle game in which you slay demonic monsters with a deadly torch and tonic combination. Bad ass. Also the music is pretty rad too. In the game you are met with the challenge of disposing all of the monsters on screen using only a torch and some tonics. You need to position the torch to...

I would like Nintendo EU To Explain This To Me

I really enjoyed X-Scape for DSiWare and it’s in fact my favorite DSiWare title to date. In Japan it’s known as X-Returns which makes sense as it’s a successor to the GameBoy title, X. Here it’s known as X-Scape and that’s fine too. I don’t quite get it, but it’s a nice (and cheesy) play on words and at least it still contains X in the title. In...

Minimalist Pokémon Desktop Backgrounds

A really swell administrator over at PDLH.net has decided that they’ll possibly try and create a minimalist desktop wallpaper for each of the current 493 Pokémon. While no promises are being made, it is a wonderful tribute project and I do dig rad minimalist art, especially when it’s mashed up with Pokémon! Teej/TopHat has even made some wallpapers for the Isshu Region...

Good Game Get! Gobber Assault

Boing Boing’s Games Inspired by Music Contest is in the voting period stage, and Bill Meltsner’s Gobber Assault is one of those games. Inspired by Disasterpeace’s chiptune Gobber Groove, Meltsner’s game like all other entries are interpretations of video game music that weren’t initially created for video games. The result in Meltsner’s case...

Good Game Get! Looming

Looming is a new exploration game from Gregory Weir. It’s a haunting and mysterious sci-fi love story set in the dark, with a minimalist aesthetic, culturally divided history, and a wish that the player suspend themselves in imagination and patience to make it through all of the endings. The graphics are by far my favorite part of the title, and the discovery and collection system is...

Footage from X

As you know, or may not know actually, I really dig recent DSiWare game X-Scape which is essentially a sequel to the old GameBoy game X. While the original game is looking a little long in the tooth, it still is awesome to see simple pseudo 3D renderings moving around in a GameBoy game. It’s also a straight nostalgia trip to see all of the cool tunnel similarities between X and...

Surprise! Maré Odomo's Letters to an Absent Father...

A while back I was really into independent comics, but then I lost interest for one reason or another. I still read Scott Pilgrim and am always interested in my good friend Matt Kish’s work, but other than that I don’t really spend money on comics. Recently I posted about Maré Odomo’s excellent web comic Letters to an Absent Father and how Odomo has produced the comic into a...
