On Saturday August 14th was the fifth annual Bit Gen Gamer Fest in Baltimore Maryland. You may recall the post we did about it two weeks ago. At the end of that post I asked Jena if we could go to this awesome experience. She thought it was clever and cute that I would ask in such a way and relented to my request to attend.
Apparently cute and clever is a good way to counter extraordinary geeky.

This is a treasure trove of what life was like 22 years ago. It contains subtle hints to the video games are terrible for our kids meme of the time (while Barbie who is the worst roll model ever for girls was an institution) and that it makes them speak a weird unknown language. Also how the Japanese are trying to take over America – a common fear of the late 80s. Greg Fischbach, founder of Acclaim and Peter Main are interviewed. It’s long but kind of amazing to see how adults back then were fearing kids my age would turn out.
OH YEHHH, its that time again, time for this weeks Feeling Motivated! In the FACE!!!!!! Keep reading »

Sorry about the later than usual post for this weeks wallpapers. I got held up this morning and just finally got the chance to do them. Only three this week but they all rule!
Not sure if this classifies as an easter egg or not. But it cracked me up and I thought it was worth sharing. Hard to remember when these two Japanese giants were on such good terms.
With the recent release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World in theaters, a licensed game could sound like a generally bad idea. Fortunately for us this game is anything but a bad idea. It’s a side scrolling beat’em up where you can have up to 4 playable characters, based on the graphic novel series made by Bryan Lee O’Malley. You follow the story of Scott Pilgrim a dopey Canadian slacker with the hoot’s for Ramona Flowers. Unfortunately for Scott in order to date her he must defeat her seven evil exes. You can play as the titular hero Scoot Pilgrim, Ramona Flowers the American ninja, Steven Stills The “talent” of Scotts Band Sex Bob-omb, and Kim pine the apathetic drummer of Sex Bom-omb.

A lot of websites have been making a big deal about the Virtual Console this week. Some have charts others are just angry. Most agree that the Virtual Console is dead. That the idea of weekly releases for it are long gone and while a few games probably will come out it’ll be a once in a while kind of thing. I personally don’t think it’s dead. Nintendo has made a lot of money off the thing and a few games have sold a million copies on the service. Selling a million copies of games that are almost all 20 years old and required very little work to get to play on the service is still an attractive idea to developers. Low risk high reward. Personally I think it’s a sign of the times. Thousands of people have been laid off at game companies and even though it would require little work to get games on the Virtual Console, it does take some work. And developers just don’t have the extra man power right now. Perhaps in a year if the economy upticks then we may see a glorious return to the service. Well one can hope I guess.
