1. Over at Press the Buttons, Matt takes a loving look at the longstanding link between animation and gaming, as well as a tease for this weekend’s King of the Hill episode titled “Grand Theft Arlen.”
2. GameTrailers and ScrewAttack.com take a look back at Killer Instinct for the SNES, one of my favorite games.

   Incidently, despite the better look and cinemas and such of the arcade, I just had more fun playing the SNES version.

   And Fulgore and Jago were awesome. I don’t own a 360, but I’d love to see Rare and Microsoft show this one “mercy” and give it new life on the Arcade.

3. Next Generation interviews SEGA’s Scott Steinberg about SEGA’s lack of marketplace pull these days, and how some strategic alliances may change that fortune.

   And that seems like as good a segue as any to entice you to look at other corporate alliances and mergers in Shawn Struck’s latest feature, Corporate Combos: When Game Companies Gang Up.

4. And while on the subject of SEGA, a new interview reveals details about the upcoming NiGHTS title, which among other things will feature two control schemes.
5. New Mario wallpaper that’s just Super!
6. I love Mario, but I’m not sure how much of this I could stand.
7. Dude, this is seriously messed.
8. An interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Koji Kondo from Spike TV’s Game Head.
9. Wow, now you’re shooting with power… Piranha Power!
10. Awesome, I want Reggie’s autograph too!
11. Ed Boon talks about– what else? MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!armageddon.
12. And the next character for Super Smash Bros. Brawl iiiiiiiiis… Shigeru Miyamoto!

    Just kidding, but that’s the first thing that pic brought to mind.

13. Are you 8-bit? I am 8-bit. Take a look.
14. I think Chris Kohler may be on to something when it comes to the fascination surrounding speed runs.

    Incidently, some of the glitches exploited are news to me…

15. I can’t even call this news.

    Hell, at this point, “Point of Interest” is a stretch. Still…

    Cracker Jack goes after Kotaku. Again.

    Probably wouldn’t even mention this but for the trophy.

    I sort of wish the silly bastard would come after me. Might generate more traffic.

16. Hmm. Hey, Mark? Mr. Wilson, if I may?

    Zero is not a number.

    Not in this case, anyway. But I bet you knew that, didn’t you?

17. I’m sure that this’ll cause an uproar.
