I decided to take a “mental health day” and call in sick from SVA, so I’m working at home trying to get stuff that I’ve put on the back-burner for far too long done and over with, which I’ll be doing weekend (along with getting and decorating the Christmas tree). I’m also going to try to beat Shadow of the Colossus this weekend, as well as try and get past the second boss in Recca: Summer Carnival ’92, plus do some drawing. Its also holiday party this season, so on Saturday night is the first one, at PixelJump HQ.
Anyway, real quick like:
- PSP Spot has revealed two new bosses for Mega Man Powered Up (Rockman-Rockman), the chibi-fied Mega Man 1 remake, and one of them is racist!
What you’re seeing is Timeman and Oilman, and anyone who might have noticed the latter’s lips may also be reminded of Japan’s love of tar baby jokes. Jesus Christ Japan…
- Today Insert Credit reported what I had a feeling was going to happen: Radirgy is DC bound. This makes it the latest “last game ever for the Dreamcast”, which I’m more than happy to hear over and over again.
- Meanwhile at the boards, someone’s pointed toward a fighting game in which you recover energy by taking pic of your opponent’s panties…
… I was going to post this on the front page, but since I can’t translate Japanese, I don’t even know what its called. Once again, Jesus Christ Japan?
EDIT: Here’s the trailer.
- People doing “wacky” musical send-ups of Super Mario Bros at high school plays are pretty a dime a dozen at this point I know, but check this out: a Mega Man rock opera. They call themselves the Protomen and describe it as “Fisherspooner meets Andrew W.K. meets STYX meets The Faint.”
- Wrestlecrap, a site dedicated to all things stupid is wrestling, has decided to shift its attention to stupid wrestling games. It’s all about the twisty rockets.
- Meanwhile in the real world, I forgot to pass something that MK came across earlier in the week: a lesbo porn flick featuring the bad guy robots from Doctor Who. Simply awesome, especially the (NSFW) center image. Well, for anyone who still can’t figure out what to get me for a Xmas gift, now you know (since I’m such a big fan of robots and all, though I dig chicks that dig chicks as well).
- I also found out that Hot Topic is now selling Adventures of Pete & Pete, which makes me sorta angry. I know I’m a bit too old to bitch about the mainstream parlaying nerd culture, but it annoys me to no end. Besides, I love how my disdain for it was enough to turn a roomful of girls against me when I spoke about women in games at ICON earlier this year, and I was a on a purely pro-woman platform!
- Finally, one last game related thing: John has created a website for that zombie game that’s he creating that I saw a few weeks back; you can check out Nearly Departed here. I’m lucky enough to have seen it in action, and it looks pretty f’n hot!
