Endangered Gamer

this Street Fighter tournament video might not be the "greatest", but it's the most enjoyable and tech reversal-rich comeback i've ever seen. it's a real joy to see two players who are really REALLY good at something go toe-to-toe and the crowd makes it even better, with the unbeliveable end has got to be seen to be believed.....

so Microsoft has swung the mighty hammer or righteous anger towards all the silly Gamerscore whores out there ( the cheatin' flavor) and reset their gamerscores to 0 , and added a scarlet letter to their Xbox.com profile labeling them as a cheater. serves them right. the nerve of those monkeys trying to boost their gamerscore by cheating. looks like they missed someone.... yep. Hey, is that lockout? oh, it's called blackout now.....ok.

that guy who made that super creepy Mario photoshop is back with a "untooning" or Homer Simpson. this guy is pretty good, and he's taking requests at his blog ......wonder what'll be next????

so i've kinda gotten over my n+ phase, having beat that damn stage 14 that kicked my ass for a few weeks. i never got into the custom level maker, but this guy has. he's created the entire Legend of Zelda game in N+, (well, not the WHOLE game, just from the beginning to the end of the first dungeon....) and won the badass of the month award. what, you didn't know about the badass of the month award? for shame.....

I like Guitar Hero, but.... i can't even speak. i'm at a loss for words, because this fucking STOOPID peripheral is the worst....thing i've ever seen. how could they have fucked up so bad??? is it april fool's day already??? WTF?????? i'll call it what it is a big stinking pile of shit.

it seems like the good ship Sony is finally starting to turn around, and this commercial is a floopy drift in the right direction....it's more a commercial for the Playstation Network (and little big planet??) than the system itself.... and this bonus commercial?? retro videogame store goodness...... both seen on Kotaku.com

this badass model is for sale over at ebay , and although it's not up for bidding, the $135.00 price tag isn't too bad. i'd buy it if i had somewhere to put it. really, i would. it's fucking sweet.

it's a real representation of Mario. and the creepiest thing i've seen all year.....

Solid Snake has some secret taunts in Super Smash Bros Brawl, here' s a vid with most of them. (boy y'all European players won't have any surprises, will you.....)

so this guy named bob ostertag got a bunch of old(er) videogames together, ripped the audio out and totally fucked them up and mashed them together and voilà !! a 50 minute sound collage named w00t was born. from the author's site..... In March of 2006, I put all my recordings to which I owned the rights (14 CDs) up for free download from this site. w00t is my first release to skip the CD-for-sale stage and go directly to free Internet download, under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 license. Please download, copy, send to your friends, remix, mutilate, and mash-up. And please support this attempt to build free culture by sending a link for w00t to your friends. w00t consists of a 50-minute sound collage, a 4.5 minute sound “trailer,” and associated “cover art.” There is, however, no cover. w00t is a free, internet-only release. w00t was composed entirely from fragments of music from these computer games: Balloon Fight • Congo Bongo • Contra • Earthbound • Halo: Comba...

as Spanny pointed out in the last post's comments, i posted the wrong code. that's my Wii friend code. this is my Brawl code: 1504 5363 5241. as far as i can see, you can enter just the brawl code in-game and have access to the people who've added you without having to enter their Wii console code. as as expected, i've been getting my ass handed to me most of the evening. i'm done for the day, but sheesh, it's just more of the same. here i'm thinking i've been getting pretty good with Snake and Samus, and i play 5 games in a row with a grand total of 3 KO's, and a cumulative total of -13.

needless to say, this game is fucking great. after spending almost 3 hours in line for the release ( post on that nightmare to come later....) i got home and spent about 3 hours on sat. night and 4 on Sunday playing through the Subspace Emissary game and some more time trying (and failing) to play online. it's a love letter from Nintendo to all its hardcore fans, including most major ( and minor) characters from all the games it's released in some form, from stickers to trophies to other more obscure ways. the gameplay is as tight as it was in SSB: Melee, and the Final Smash adds a crazy mad dash to the item whenever it appears. defiantly a must buy, and it might take Wii Game of the Year, considering the competition. i really can't say enough about it, it rocks in every way. 1265 1246 4073 9222 Here's my friend code so anyone who wants to get PWNED can get me their code in the comments...... ha ha. BONUS you won't see Samus in this costume, but maybe in S...

some shots of the characters in the new watchmen movie. (due in March of 2009) they've got a year to make sure it won't suck..... The Comedian Rorschach ozymandias Silk Spectre

so Super Smash Bros is coming out tomorrow at midnight, and i guess I'll be the sucker in line at gamestop with my nephew Ferran waiting for it. it'll be a mad dash to unlock all the characters first and foremost, then all the trophies, secret characters, stickers, levels, and.......ah, who am i kidding.... i can't even bother to finish Bioshock or Metroid Prime: Corruption. i suck. anyways, i WAS able to get past that goddamn level in N+ that was kicking my ass. Level 14-4 in the single player mode is a motherfucker, and i consider it a badge of honor that i finally passed it. here's a video of the craziness.....

like i said before, i'm starting to lose touch with what is terrible crap or epic win sauce. if this is for real, it's the most horrible way to spend 2 minutes. i'm starting to think that David Lynch somehow is responsible for this.....

Tarsem, the nutty director of the only Jennifer Lopez movie that didn't suck ass , has finally gotten around to directing another movie. or rather, he finished it in 2006, but it's been in the fridge for the last 2 years, waiting for someone to finance the release. David Fincher and Spike Jonze stepped up, and it looks like the film will release sometime this spring. The Fall looks to be in the same vein as his previous movie, The Cell. only it's missing Jlo and her zombie husband. that guy really looks dead.

it's not that often that i see something that makes me lol. really laugh. but whoever runs Nestography wins the cake of the week for compiling (or creating??) the best thing i've seen online this week. my fave is this pic below, with the protagonist of the greatest game ever made, Chubby Cherub. That's right, i said it. CHUBBY CHERUB IS THE BEST GAME EVER MADE. NATCH!!!!

there's a joke to be made here, but i'm too lazy to make it.

i might have posted this already, but what the hell, i'll post it again. it's still funny.

ellen is going to make a upscale dog food brand available , something even HUMANS can eat.... what a joke..... and the name? Halo. LET THE FLAMING BEGIN!!!!!!
