The Greatest YouTube Video EVAR!!!!!!

I fucking LOVE finding shit like this!!!!!! I know I've seen this commercial before, but the years have dulled my memories. Now i can watch this commercial over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over.
So, it looks like the Louisiana violent videogames bill has fallen flat on it's face . A fed judge temporarily blocked the enforcement of the law hours after it was signed by Louisiana Guv Kathleen Blanco. Seems like every time some do-gooder ( attention starved politician ) tries to ban the sale of videogames to kids, they fail and fail again. Let's see....... ROLLCALL!!!!! Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Utah, Washington (state), and Maryland have all proposed legislation that was swiftly smacked down by their respective elected officials. (Maryland's bill was since rewritten and passed without challenge) New York, North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, and New Jersey still have bills pending that will probably be shot down by the ESRB's lawyers. The bills that HAVE passed, (Georgia, California and Washington) were only to condemn 25 To Life ( a disgusting TURD of a game) and to demand rating infor

this game looks HAWT!!!!!
i should probably link to this original article , but i thought it was so well written, that i copy-and-pasted so anyone can read without navigating away. it's a great read, and unfourtunatly true. On Wednesday, June 14, 2006, the Committee on Energy and Commerce, a subcommittee of the US Senate, held a hearing titled (why do these things need titles?), "Violent and Explicit Video Games: Informing Parents and Protecting Children." As you may have heard, the outcome of this event was not entirely in the best interest of gaming as a whole. The gist of their conclusion, after questioning the head of the ESA, the President of the ESRB, the Director of the FTC's Consumer Protection bureau, Wal-Mart's VP of merchandising, and three game/health experts, was that violent videogames are akin to pornography in their harm for children and that the ESRB is at fault for letting something like Hot Coffee (which was a terribly isolated incident that would be nearly impossible t

now that's some FUNNY SHIT. yeah.

Got this video from Kotaku.com, who posted it today. it s a tour of a videogame publisher's headquaters circa 1983-84. A perfect example of what retro humor and videogame nostalgia can do in perfectly capable hands. from what i can gather, the clip is from some BBC show called Look Around that spoofs old science films of the 70's and 80's. Well, here is the clip. pay attention to how the prez gets those suds going!!!!!!!

Sometime last wiik, TheArcherBus.com went live again, and began posting blog entries furiously. It's good to see that Gil's gotten back on the horse, even if he left his podcast orphaned on the range. i expect to begin a flame war soon. I especially like the planned, read and recent book listings. i have a few suggestions for him, like this and maybe something like this . anyway, great to see you back, and maybe play some poker this year..........

Rare Nintendo Prototypes discovered.....

i'm too lazy to type my own observations, so i'll cut and paste.... Rare Nintendo Prototypes Discovered Congratulations to the lucky bastard out there who came across a whole cache of prototype, competition, and unreleased NES and Super NES games at a garage sale on sale for a mere $40. This lucky person has put up the collection for sale on eBay a piece at a time , releasing new copies of the Star Fox Championship Weekend game pak into circulation as well as prototype versions of Tetris and The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past plus the second known copy of the English version of Earthbound for the NES. This kind of discovery is what all gamers hope to come across at some point in their lives. Imagine finding not only the Holy Grail of video gaming, but a whole box of Holy Grails that can all be yours for mere pocket money. I check out the local used game shops from time to time in hopes of discovering something like this, but of course I never do. As I once said in an
