HA!
Quoth Ars Technica;
At this point, the nerds swung into action. Penny Arcade forum members wrote, edited and sent letters and faxes to the Florida Bar Association detailing Thompson’s activities and urging the review of his license to practice law. Jack Thompson has already received a reprimand by the FBA for his antics in 1998, and […]
As noted by 4CR and Infendo, the NES, or Nintendo Entertainment System for the clueless of you out there, has turned 20, at least in the US.
On the 18th of October 1985, when I had been at primary school for just a few months, the grey game oblonge jumped onto the scene, allowing people to […]
If you’ve been reading the news recently, you’ll know all about Jack Thompson’s Modest Videogame Proposal, and it’s aftermath.
In an attempt to chronicle all this man has done and continues to do, I have started forging a page with links to pages regarding his anti-game exploits, his stupid proposals and the reaction of the gaming […]
1Up has a fantastic article on the certainties and opinions surrounding the Nintendo Revolution.
There’s snippets from developers, both positive and negative. Opinion from gamers and a look at the history of motion sensor-based control systems in video games. A thoroughly good read.
Mario Kart DS is shaping up as what I’ve always imagined the perfect MK game to be. Handheld, fast, fun and playable online. Sure there’s other franchises I’ve wanted similar features on, but let’s be honest here, there’s no substituting the wicked fun wrapped in any long MK vs session.

Something Awful’s Photoshop Phriday this week features game cross overs, some of which (top of the page), are bat shit crazy-hilarious.
This Zelda, um, “fan-flick” which I was pointed to by Nintendo Gal, is a piss-take executed by a few people on the IGN boards, who after reading a script submitted by a dim-wit, decided to fool him into thinking his work was worthy.
The dancing triforce is comedy gold. This is truly one of the weirdest […]
I’d heard of a guy who completed Ikaruga, in a fabled “perfect run” (without dying), and I admit that would be impressive to see.
However, not as impressive as this video on Google video of a hardcore Ikaruga fan playing a two-player co-op game (one hand on each controller), of what looks like the third stage. […]
I know this is old news so far as the web goes, but damn it I’m going to comment on it.
It seems, according to Pro-G, that Blizzard wanted to know whether people would buy Starcraft on the DS, were it created. I won’t mention how cool that would be (need I even mention the possibility […]
Doris Self, who’s 80, will be trying to claim back her title of “World’s Oldest Video Game Champion” at London’s CGEUK on August 13th. Doris laid out the smack down in Q*Bert back in 1984 with a score of 1,112,300. That score has since been topped and the current record stands at around 1.8×106 (1.8 […]
