- Loading.Ready.Run looks back on 4 years with their 4th season finale!
…if they can remember what it was.
…23 PS3s!

- That Super Smash Bros. Brawl delay still kind of sucks. But, Matt at Press the Buttons has a clever yet simple way for Nintendo to make up for it.
- With so much Wii Ware in the works, surely Nintendo has something up their sleeve so you can start putting that SD card slot to work, right? Right?
Eh… well, no, not exactly.
Oh, and if anyone can Digg this for me, I would be very grateful.
MTV Multiplayer caught up with Uwe Boll, and among other things, they discussed the prospect of what Boll would do with the Mario movie; what he’d do if he were to remake it, or how he’d improve it.
The answer might surprise you, along with another video game movie that he finds bad, even by HIS standards. What does he think of Halo and GTA as films? And what was really the story with that whole Metal Gear Solid deal not too long ago?
And if you can Digg that one, that’d be great, too.
- Will Banjo and Kazooie ever frolick in Nintendo’s neck of the woods again? It’s possible…
- Wow, come on, Nintendo… you can do better than this!
Makes me wonder if they’d kept the bongo scheme, at least optionally, for Barrel Blast if it would’ve fared any better. Though not everyone seems to hate it.
- For some, Sonic’s inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Brawl is all they ever wanted or needed; the game is ready, ship it out.
For others, however, Sonic should only be the beginning.
I’m still all for Shadow as a costume change for Sonic, not unlike the Daisy/Peach switcharoo in Melee. But rather than just that, I think changing the name and adding a few new soundbytes in Shadow’s voice would be quite sufficient.
- Didja hear? They found Carmen Sandiego!
- Mario Kart Wii looks awesome, doesn’t it?
Well, apparently not everyone thinks so.
Frankly, the motorcycles don’t bother me. Unlike Double Dash!!, where you were stuck with two-person karts whether you liked it or not, that clearly isn’t the case here. Hell, I’d like to see those return with their own quirks for more mix-and-match fun. Give us the entire Mario Kart fleet!
- MSNBC has ranked the Top 5 most memorable video game songs.
Mario, definitely. Halo, sorta. Ms. Pac-Man? I don’t remember the difference between her song and Mr’s. Zelda is a definite, and Final Fantasy VII… well, I know the victory theme, does that count?
- Evidently, Martha Stewart knows just how to score points with me. Specifically, the Wii cake.
Alright, Martha. You’re pardoned for all past wrongdoings.
- YES, I’m joking. It’s nice, but sheesh.
- Dear China: Would it kill you to show some dignity for a change?
- Chris Kohler at Game|Life got one hell of a cool present with this custom Servbot/Kobun faceplate for his XBox 360.
- Some people really ought to stop taking things so literally.
