Points of Interest – 8/28/07
- “McChurger?” What the hell’s a McChurger?
OH, a McCHURGER… right…
…
…I don’t know whether to be disgusted or to make one.
- Nabbed from WebbAlert, what is bacn?
Long story short, it’s e-mail that you want… just not right now.
- Good prank, great prank, or just going too far? You be the judge.
- Looks like I missed this from a couple of weeks back: an interview with Mega Man’s bodyguard, from the San Diego Comic Con.
Q: Was everyone excited to see the ?Mega Man? himself in person?
A: Surprisingly so. I knew Mega Man was popular ? this being his 20th Anniversary and all ? but HOW popular was still a pleasant surprise as people of all ages bolted over for pictures or shouted ?Mega Man!? as soon as they saw a flash of blue.
- Don’t know what’s more impressive, that Uwe Boll was at PAX, or that he lived to tell the tale.
- So while Super C hit the Virtual Console today, Super Contra, the arcade game upon which Super C was based, came to XBox Live Arcade not too long ago. If you’d like to see someone give it a good run, you can check it out on YouTube.
- The final stage of GameTrailers’ journey through the saga of Samus Aran and Metroid is now available. The Metroid Retrospective part 5 looks at the overall story of the series, and how much of it fits together, including some peeks from the e-manga from over at Mechadrake Assemblies, Inc.
- Meanwhile, ScrewAttack.com looks back at a little title from days of old known as Silkworm, a side-scrolling shooter that lets you command a jeep or a helicopter to wade your way through enemy forces.
- If you were casting for the role of Samus Aran, who would you choose? GameDaily has some ideas.
I could go for Jessica Alba in that role… though really, a nice unknown might be best, so that they don’t have to submit to the seeming inability for larger celebs to stay masked for very long.
- Wow, now here’s a blast from the Metroid past: commercials, from far and wide.
My favorite might just be the live-action(?) Metroid Prime commercial, though.
- If you’re going to be near Times Square any time soon, then you might want to swing by the Nintendo World Store so you can grab some of this neat MP3 stuff.
- Sigh.
Someday.
Someday, I’ll be sent stuff like this, too.
Someday…
- Pfft, I wish I could be paid to just lay around all day.
…then again, all the eyes on me would probably start to feel a little creepy.
- And to wrap things up, remember Chip and Dale: Rescue Rangers?
Someone does, as they’ve apparently gone to great lengths to create a 231-page “graphic novel” with a more mature tone than the cartoon show sought to provide.
What I’ve read so far is interesting, anyway, but I’m only about 30 pages in. Definitely worth a look, though undoubtedly not everyone’s cup of tea.
