1. This Skittles commercial is good.

   This one is fantastic.

2. When talking to The Governator, is 60 minutes enough?
3. Poor Optimus, what with all these Hollywood-types trying to change him…
4. “We’ve secretly replaced Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto with the spawn of Satan himself. Let’s see if anyone notices.“
5. And this is just a peculiar hack with some interesting ideas and implementation, along with neat graphic effects sprinkled throughout.
6. When worlds collide… that is when we KUNG-FU FIGHT!
7. An interesting find, some unused characters from Super Mario RPG.

   Given that Square-Enix seems largely against releasing big titles on Virtual Console, I wish they’d just remake this already.

8. The Angry Video Game Nerd is back, and just in time for The Simpsons Movie, he throws a little 20-year old mud at their oldest gaming efforts.
9. While it seems that there is no update on James Mielke’s progress in getting us Legends 3, he did make sure to see TransFormers The Movie, for which I’m linking his review for the captions, if nothing else.

   Though since when “one” constitutes “a lot” of the original voices, I’m not entirely sure.

10. ScrewAttack.com has been busy while I’m gone.

    Video Game Vault entries for Marvel Super Heroes: War of the Gems, Whomp ‘Em, Little Nemo: The Dream Master.

    All that, and their Top 10 Mario Games, of which Sunshine was thankfully not part, but it has a serious lack of Paper Mario, and I dispute Dr. Mario by their own qualification that these are all games in which you play as Mario. Because let’s face it, in Dr. Mario, the only thing you control are pills in a role that’s ambiguous at best. Just as easily as you could be Mario, you could be Nurse Peach, an unnamed assistant, a thinking manifestation of the Mushroom World’s laws of physics, or just yourself.

11. Plus, GameTrailers themselves celebrates 20 years of Samus with Part 1 of their Metroid Retrospective.

And at this late/early hour, sleep beckons. I shall return with more news and stuff later as I try and settle back into routine.

Ta-ta!
