Star Wars Uncut

You remember this project right? Take Star Wars and divide it into 15 second chunks, then invite fans to recreate each piece. Well, they finally finished in April, had a couple screenings, now you can watch the entire movie online. It's awesome. Shades of Hard Ware Wars. Be sure to watch it now, before Lucas comes to his senses.

Key scenes:
• "You're a little short for a storm trooper."
• Millennium Falcon escaping the Death Star.
• "Red 5 standing by.."
• uh, the entire end battle!

Playstation 1.0, how I love thee

I like this thread where people talk about their first experiences with the original Playstation...

I remember fondly getting one after thanksgiving in '95, and then being utterly consumed with Metal Gear Solid. My lovely wife can still remember the dialogue and music (after being forced to listen to it for ages).
Liquid - "You're out of time! It's going to blow!"
(punch, punch, kick)

Atari Ballblazer

I remember thinking "this is the ultimate...there's no way they can make a game better than this..." (probably because of the kickass bass line in the musical intro).

Flip the dining table game

Finally! And just in time for Thanksgiving too.

Revolutionary new video game

Hot New Video Game Consists Solely Of Shooting People Point-Blank In The Face

Also, BOBBIE BATISTA NOW WORKS FOR THE ONION??? We've finally completed our trip around the mobius strip of reality which began when Brian Unger left the daily show for MSNBC.

Mack Bolan!

In the days before first person shooters, boys actually had to go out and buy toy guns, and live the action themselves. Or you could subscribe to the "military porn" of pulp fiction, namely any book written by Don Pendleton and his underlings. I did both. I got a book a month in the Mack Bolan executioner series of milporn, which consisted of graphic descriptions of guns, explosions, and people's heads turning to red mist.

I put some of the cover art into a slideshow, and you can see how easily any book title could be a death metal band name. I especially like the covers which show Mack and his lady friend of the moment fighting side by side...cause you know...chicks and guns.

Oh, and I just finished Halo 2 (finally), Bioshock, and am in the middle of Half Life 2 (finally). Thanks, Amy and Rob!

Highland Park = Raccoon City?

Check out these pics from an abandoned municipal building in Highland Park Michigan. This is eerily similar to the Raccoon City police station in "Resident Evil 2". I spent many a night jumping out of my skin playing this game, and it seems awfully weird that there are firearms, ammunition, and crime scene photos still laying around, just like the game, where you are constantly on the search for ammo, and you need to examine the environment for clues to continue the game.

Gameplay from Resident Evil 2, go to about 15:00 for the police station...

My old SEGA

I was at my brother-in-law's house for easter today, and my nephew and I found the PGA Tour III game I used to have. Top 3 saved golfer names:

1) Dr. Roast
2) oooooo
3) BUTT^Steak (who had the course record of 63 at TPC Sawgrass)

Also, the top three airline names from our Aerobiz game, which would go on for months...

1) StuAir
2) AirLog
3) SkyAss

80's Consoles

"Consoles I Have Known". I have fond memories of my own Colecovision console, playing hours of Zaxxon, Cosmic Avenger, and Venture.
