1) Oh, wow. Tom Green‘s “live from his house” internet call-in show has incurred the wrath of 4chan’s /b/. YouTube has some of the bits.

Interestingly enough, Tom Green, the same guy who had lesbian porn painted on his parents’ car and shown on nationwide TV, is taking some sort of weird moral high ground here.

Oh, and he seems TOTALLY clueless to what’s going on.

It’s ironic. And yet, after some calls, an internet relay service calls the show and he screws with the operator.

Guess it’s karma.

2) Ok, so I’m sure some people think I’m a Nintendo fanboy. I dispute this; I consider myself a strong Nintendo advocate, as I believe they serve me and what I want best. However, I still try and call things as I see them, Nintendo or otherwise.

That said, this is total crap. With the nature of game retail, I do NOT like the idea of being pigeonholed into getting a version of the game I may not care for the controls to, with no option to switch.

So no, I don’t like that at all. You let me down, Nintendo. You’re better than this! IT IS NOT TOO LATE!

The Virtual Console bit, however, I completely support. Get us some Star Fox 2 or even some betas up in there, huh?

3) Capcom’s heard the cries of Dead Rising‘s fans, but there’s no plans to do anything yet.

6) …does anyone still care about the Phantom?

7) Lara… greater than Mario?

Now, I’m no Lara Croft hater, I actually enjoyed the first movie and think the character isn’t as bad as some people make her out to be, and I’ve heard Tomb Raider Legend is pretty damn good.

But… no. Just no. Sorry, you loseWeight Exercise, good day, sir.

8) PS3 to lead in market share with 44% by 2011 says analyst.”

I admit, I’m skeptical.

9) Photos from THQ’s Wii event.

And interesting note on the speaker… hmm.

But I love the look of the Wiimote in black.

10) Oh, damn. I don’t suppose anyone reading this is Australian and eats at Hungry Jack’s?

Oh well, at least there’s McDonald’s soon.

11) Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! from around the world.

12) Interesting… Wii may scoop PS3 in Australia. Just in time for the Hungry Jack toys, I guess.

13) New Ace Ventura bomb in development.

Presumptuous? Maybe. But without Carrey, no way it’ll do that well, I’m sure.
