So we all love video games, and when we were kids we all loved toys. But outside of of a few exceptions kids today may have better toys then when we were younger. So is it wrong for me to try and have my cake and eat it too? Or perhaps am I looking for justification for wanting all these? Regardless of all that I bring you a bunch of sweet looking video game toys, or Interactive media display figures!

A pretty decent week for DLC. Some of the WiiWare games look pretty interesting and makes me wish Nintendo had demos. I want to try some of these games but I don’t want to shell out 10 bucks for something I may hate. Oh and we finally see July’s first Virtual Console game!
I love how developer diary’s evolved from the very static .plan files to excellent youtube videos that mix in entertainment and show off their creativity. Still wish some publisher would recognize the potential if a full blown behind the scenes documentary similar to the old ones Lucasfilm did for Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark. Something serious and in-depth. Something the opposite of what G4 would do.
It’s no secret that my favorite game character is Mario. The first superstar of gaming has never disappointed me with his awesomeness. And now we I feel unmotivated he can now motivate me!

I found this fella on youtube, a one Daniel Floyd. a Guy who makes videos in a Zero Punctuation fashion to teach us about video games and the depth and credibility they have. His videos go into moral choices, controversy and women in games. And all highlight points that are interesting and are built into quick edible ten minute videos.
And this is his own personal blog.
Also I’ve talked to him recently and he says hes going to be teaming up with the The Escapist to bring more out more great content.
If you are like me then you love all things Nintendo. If you aren’t like me you still probably loved Mario Kart 64. It was the first game in the series to go full 3D and was a must have game for the console. You probably played the living crap out of the game. Probably knew that you could drive around Peach’s castle if you veered off course in Royal Raceway. The shortcuts on Kalimari Desert, Rainbow Road, Yoshi Valley, Koopa Troopa Beach, Royal Raceway and Wario Stadium. Hell you probably knew about the secret 4th place overall hidden ending. But I truly doubt you knew about the easter egg above. At the end race screen where the game tells you how many points you earned and have total if you let the music loop for 50 some odd minutes the music changes into a rendition only heard there. Why 50 minutes you ask? Because it is the 64th loop of the original music. As Robert Muldoon said in Jurassic Park, “Clever Girl.”
I used to name the wallpaper post based on something that was interesting to me that week. But frankly that was just too damn nerdy and dorky for me. Only three this week as I attempt to stock up for future weeks!
Has anyone picked up StarCraft 2 yet?
Check out the sordid behind-the-scenes life of that dastardly dog and those crazy ducks in the Nintendo classic. Once you watch this, it’ll all make sense.
This weeks wrap up only exists because of Martin the Martian. When the word got out that I wouldn’t have time to do this weeks Wrap Up he did it and sent us an E-Mail. I can’t express my appreciation enough for this one!
