The liberation of a nation – a SBCG4AP tale

So I played the first installment of SBCG4AP (Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People), namely “Homestar Ruiner”, a few weeks ago and although it was short it was definitely sweet.  So, in honor of episode 2, “Strongbadia The Free” I will now unleash the trailer here:

Video game metaphors are funny

Man this cracks me up (I doubt most people will not get this but I don’t care :P ).  Click it for the full version.

SF4 + “Epic” = EPIC SF4 Trailer

Whoever thought of this is a genius. If you have ever loved Street Fighter or listened to Faith No More’s song “Epic” or, dare I say it, both(!) then you NEED to watch this. Man this was the coolest thing I have seen in a while. Bravo Capcom, Bravo.

Mario Kart should be rated for adults

I soooooo need to write into a newspaper like this sometime, it seems like it would be something that I would do :P .

Korean Girls love some good Psi-Storm

Man, this was hilarious.  If I know one thing about Koreans it’s this: they loves them some Star Craft.  Although the game was released over 10 years ago, it is still insanely popular in Korea (world wide it isn’t AS popular, but there are still a ton of people playing it).  The game really is a gem and the following video is a recording of a professional match in Korea with spectators and all.  You can hear the crowds reaction to an impressive  example of some serious micro management with some High Templars and their deveastation psi-storm.  They love it!

“Kids Who Don’t Play Video Games Are At Risk”

I couldn’t bring myself to change the name of the story, it was too perfect. I also couldn’t embed the video :( . Here is the link: http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/videos/21264/Face_Time_Lawrence_Kutner_and_Cheryl_Olson.html

Best April Fools joke that should be made reality

Wow, some websites put up funny stories or doctor a picture to make it seem believable, but the guys over at IGN.com sure went through a lot of trouble to make this. Even if you know nothing about The Legend of Zelda, this movie would still be cool if it were done at Hollywood quality.

Stories from the front lines or “How we killed 11 bajillion aliens in the name of liberation”

So last night I logged into Tabula Rasa to see how far along a friend (lets call him “Kirk”) was to reaching his goal of level 30. I found that he was online, how convenient. We began to chat and decided to play for a bit. Knowing that I didn’t have the time to do anything for any extended period of time we decided to hold down the fort(s)…literally.

In Tabula Rasa there are bases all over the maps, but there are some bases that can be overrun and controlled by the enemy forces, these are called Control Points. The players of the game are then charged to take these bases back, or if they are already controlled by the players to defend them, and you earn items for doing so.

It was seriously a blast as we defended two separate bases from constant assault. Wave after wave of baddies would transport in and try as I might to not die, I died a few times. Kirk did a superb job of keeping me alive with is Biotechnician skills, but sometimes the agro was so much that no amount of healing could have helped. I was using a rocket launcher which has massive damage and a large blast radius. Since all of the enemies were funneling into a close proximity this meant that I could do upwards of 25,000+ damage per rocket (that’s a lot in case you didn’t know) which in turn makes all of the bad guys hate me :P . Meanwhile, Kirk was down below taking guys down with his injector gun and running over to heal me every time I screamed “IT BURNS, IT BURNS, HELP KIRK!!! GAAAHHHH!!!”. Luckily he puts up with me :P .

If you are interested, here are some screenshots.
