Long Live Mario Bros - The Sequel

This just came in from the news department at One Player:

"Michael Jackson has changed Neverland to Marioland"

And yes, this is a sequel from the post 10 minutes ago. Apparently Mr Jackson is tired of being accused of child abuse, and now he is going for the mushroom abuse charge, and in recent declarations he said: "I really like Mario when he is small without his mushroom". I say "future crime evidence". Dat's the shiat!!

Long Live Super Mario Bros.

Every once in a while a true hero emerges from the deep. Few men can be compared to their wisdom and strength. One of this heroes is Mario. Copied by many, surpassed by no one, Mario stands as the greatest icon in the history of video games. Not even Pac Man comes close.

The game Super Mario Bros has inspired many souls on this planet. I remember that in my childhood the classic tune of Super Mario Bros was like heaven’s music. I would sit in front of the TV and stare amazed at this game, the coolest game ever. Just a guy jumping and throwing balls.

I bring you some of the tributes people, yes people, like you and me had done to this game. And feel free to share your Super Mario Bros experiences, the laughter, the tears, the frustration. At smbjunkie@marioismyleader.com

PS. Please don't forget Luigi, he has feelings too

PEACE!!!

Mario Bros Music Play
Mario Bros "A capella"
Mario Bros Bass Version

That should be enough. ;)

The Best Classic Arcade Game Songs

The Playa's at Retrocrush have compiled a Top 10 of Songs featured in Classic Arcade Games. I really appreciate they made the songs available for download. Classic Arcade Games are what I grew up with. I remember those arcades at the mall, where I usually spend my spare dollar. Old times... Now they all look shitty, but still retain they emotional value.

What would it be like when I grow older? Classic Xbox360 games? Ah..the future.

Speaking of xbox 360. I gotta get me one!

All Time Crappiest Video Games

This is not my list of shitty games. Although I have to agree with most of the list. In special with Total Recall. I remember I rented this game once, back in the time when I had to actually save some money to rent it for 2 days. So, I rented it and discovered the game was shit. That's right. If you haven't played it i wouldn't recommend yo do that even if you download it for free.

Most of the foes you encounter in this fucking game are dwarves with a beard. You heard it good, they kick you in the balls until you are dead. The whole gameplay is fucked up, and you never get to see Sharon Stone nor the hooker with 3 tits. That in special really sucks. Anyway, maybe the d appear but I never got into playing the 2nd level.

My money was wasted. And on top of that next time I rented Dr. Jekyll & Mr Hyde!!!! Ok, I'm getting mad right now, Gotta grab a beer and relax. Meanwhile check The 20 Worst Video Games of All Time.

Peace

Prehistoric Ads for Prehistoric Games

Do you like video game ads? I sure do, nowadays the ads for video games are getting very creative in terms of concept and design. I found this link to a flickr page,where you can see video game ads from the year 1982. A time where most video games looked the same. (although that hasn't changed that much...) And now that I remember, these ads look pretty much the same as ads on magazines i have fromthe nineties. Too bad my scanner isn't working, I could have proved a critical point for the wellness of mankind!!

Damn, do you see that advertisers continued using the same formula again and again. This is a world of formulas! That's why we see the same movie with different actors and title. And that's why we have to play games like Cold Fear, which could be interesting if it wasn't totally based on RE zombies!!. Ok, too much passion in my speech, I should go to sleep.

Peace!!!!!

The Doom Comic Book

So, you’re a fan of Doom right? Then this post right here is for you. Back then when Doom I was the hot shit in video gaming, a Doom Comic was made. It was only 16 pages long, and featured one of the goriest comics at that time.

But what is truly scary about this comic, is the total non-sense of it. Even I had better stories in my head while I was playing Doom late at night and very nervous.

The Doom Comic is not actually the hot shit, is just CRAP. The story basically consists of an unknown man or “the Space Marine” trying to reach the BFG to kill a Cyber Demon. In his way he kills a million zombies, imps, and whatever was in his way. While doing so this crazy dude, shoots some of the most infamous phrases on comic book history such as:

“Rip and Tear Your Guts!

You are huge, that means you have huge guts!

Rip and Tear!”

And…that’s not the work of a single author. Did you really believe this could be just one normal mind? It took two crackhea… I mean men.

Anyway, players, I won’t ruin all the madness of the comic for you, Read the Doom Comic, then tell me what you think. I just hope the Doom Movie is not based on the comic. :P

Game & Watch Violence!

New game using the style Nintendo used for their Game & Watch Games. Which in case you didn't know were very simple games that consisted of only two buttons , Left and Right. And well, that was basically it. This one, though is a more vilent version of the games.

You have to kill with your knives all the Chainsaw Maniacs that appear from the woods!! This game is part of the Resident Evil 4 marketing campaign from Capcom, and it sure brings some memories to my head when I was nothing but a boy, and every friend in school had one of these machines.

Tekken Movie or "We'll never run out of movie titles"

Too many video game movies lately.... I guess this means a new horde of shitty movies is coming our way. Maybe they want to grab some of the attention video game movies got since the announce of Doom: The Movie starring our favorite Oscar winning actor Rocky Miavia.

Well, the new star to become part of this wave is Mr. Jet Li. Jet Li actually has some pretty cool moves in his films, so at least the fighting part will be good. And the movie is nothing more and nothing less than Tekken (to come out on 2006 according to IMDB). I always thought the game was like a movie, or at least it should be a CG movie, but..Who am I right?

So, you may be wondering which Tekken character will he be playing. He will star as "the boxer". The boxer... I've never seen Mr. Jet boxing. Maybe he is some champion of fly weight boxing, I don't know.

The movie is going to be directed by Charles Stone (?), and also features Vicky Zhao (?)....Go do your research. Peace!

Bob and George- funy Video game comics

Check out David Anez's comic strip: Bob and George, I love comic strips and I love video games, so I had to post this. If anyone can join comic strips, video games, and a wet stripper, then I would have to replace this link to the new one.

Hmm I remember I had bookmarked a bunch of other VG comics, but I can't seem to find them in my Pc, maybe they're at my work's computer hehe. :P I'll make sure to rescue those links and put them in her for all you playahs to check.

Also if you have your own strip, let me know!! and you could win a... nothing actually, but you might get published here.

Peace!

Super Mario Broz Speakers

Oh yeah.. I've been missing the japanese craziness lately. But you know what? It is a good craziness. The total freedom they have when creating things, sometimes bring out the coolest products. Just check at this Super Mario Bros speakers!! They may not impress a hot girl at your house, but is still one of the coolest things to have!!

Remember that Christmas is closer every day is passing, so make sure you put these on Santa's list, just below that Lapdance you really really really want. :P

It’s never too late for a Horror Story

I know Halloween has passed, and I know I should have posted something that had to do with the celebration, but the truth is I’ve been too drunk to think about that. Now that I’m coming to my senses again, I found a story to share with you, a story that involves loneliness, greed, obsession, and of course “The DarkSide” hahah HAHAHAHA (mad laughter).

If you want to be a game programmer, artist, developer, or whatever the hell you like to do on the vg industry…. BEWARE!!! Not everything is Super Mario Sunshine out there. Read IGN’s “The Dark Side of Development”, not suitable for the faint of heart!!

Long hours of work, stressful deadlines, and lack of social life, have made hell of the lives of thousands of men on the vg industry. (and maybe the 3 girls working on games). You could be the next… Unless you prefer going pimpin’ around the world! ;)

King Kong Game Info

This news taken from The Name's Kong

As you know, EA will no longer be making the King Kong game. The King Kong game now is in charge of the guys at Ubisoft. And Ubisoft has announced that they will host a variety of Launch Events for the Kig Kong Game in Los Angeles and New York City, featuring 11 interactive gaming kiosks in an environment that looks like a Skull-Island!! It's a good reason for any King Kong fan to visit those cities, specially if you are a video game player too!

In case you don't know the game will be released before the movie, on November 22nd. The highlight of the event will be the release of the Xbox 360 verion on a really big screen. That is because the Xbox 360 gives birth to the new generation of gaming consoles. And iti is going to be released that same day.

Ubisoft will be hosting the Kong-sized events in Los Angeles at Universal City Walk, November 12 from 5-10 p.m. and in New York City at Union Square Park November 17 from 5-10 p.m.
