The Daily ‘Shroom – 7/4/07
Happy Independence Day, y’all!
A late update today. Let’s see how far I get with it.
- Smash Bros. Dojo update. Man. I love Sakurai SO much for this. I just hope you can still take ‘im on like before.
- o/~ TransFormers!
o/~ Robots in Disgust! Featuring a ton of games so bad they’ll make you cry, and your eyes will rust! o/~
(Trust me, if you do it right, it flows right with the classic tune.)
Yep, another feature by the lovely and talented Nadia Oxford, and no prizes for guessing what (or who) inspired her to write up this piece that looks back on the “less than meets the eye” gaming history of the children of Primus.
IGN chats with the executive producer of the new Animated show. Long story short, lots of fun, it’s not made for you if you’re reading this, but hey, if you like it, that’s cool too.
Wal-Mart is taking preorders for Ultimate Bumblebee. You know, the one that’s 31 flavors of awesome, 32 if you count the fact that it plays “Whip It” by Devo? A decent price, too. For the Americans. For Canada? Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of violation through anal penetration. Because they can.
From the early Monday showing of the movie, they made a few bucks. Maybe they’ll go get dinner or something. Super-size, even, if they feel particularly thrifty.
- neoendgame provided some good news for fans of The Protomen. Looks like something big may yet be afoot.
Could a Capcom-endorsed concert become a reality?
- Alvin. Chipmunks. Movie.
Be afraid. VERY afraid. Because you’re going to be hearing that hugging song a LOT.
- Sing it! o/~ Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? I dooooooooo~! o/~
- Metroid Prime 3 could go one of two ways. It could be an online orgy of fun, with everyone fragging each other and calling one-another “noobs.” Or it could just wind up being a form of virtual masturbation, where you’re playing by yourself, but at least you’re having a really good time of it.
At least we have some new images to… admire. And interviews. Interviews so we might understand…
- Just for the record, since a recent family film has seen fit to make use of a whole gag sequence surrounding masturbation, then clearly the bar has been lowered so that it’s safe for me to use guilt-free. Right? Right.
Or left. Whatever works.
- ARGH, firk-ding blast!
So, IGN reports that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, season 5, is finally coming out on DVD.
“Awesome!” sez I. “We finally get the Ninja Tribunal season, like the rest of the world!”
Whoops. Wrong frickin’ Turtles.
- Great, another Japanese Club Nintendo-exclusive game I need to get.
Still want Tingle’s Balloon Fight more, though. ‘Cuz I take some foo’s to schoo’ in a Balloon Fight! Dig it?
- I really don’t give a damn about EA Sports and their monopolized franchises, but a good idea is a good idea. Appeal to the EA Sports market AND the Wii Sports “16 is too many buttons to remember” types.
- “Sony doesn’t buy exclusivity.”
Probably because these days, they can’t afford to. HEYOOOO!!
- <3 picture.
If only because it seems to finally be coming true, like some beautiful dream.
- My, Rock Band looks like it’s coming along well, doesn’t it?
So nice of them to demonstrate with one of my favorite songs, no less.

11. Geez. At this point, Sony’s comments sound like an Internet troll’s. “We don’t need to BRIBE companies to make good games… Unlike SOME companies…”
12. So fitting. And yet, if this news were made up, how much more crazy would Thompson look?
