As a child of the 80’s, Hi-C Ecto Cooler was my life blood. I consumed so much I’m not sure how my skin didn’t turn radioactive green. Though the product’s named change throughout the years, Minute Maid continued to produce it. Then in 2007, all hope was lost when it and any incarnations of the flavor were discontinued.

Since that fateful day, we Ecto-Cooler faithful have prayed for the day our fabled drink would return! Now our prayers have been answered…well sorta. The fine folks at the Chicago division of Ghostbusters have cracked the Cooler code and unlocked the secrets of its’ formula. Alright so it’s not technically the real thing, but it’s about as close as you can get. That and it’s not expired by about 20 years! Now you too can enjoy the sweet sugary goodness of years gone by. So go out and make a batch yourself or I’ll slime you!

And remember, if someone asks if you are a god, you say, “yes!”

One of my favorite arcade racers of all time is coming to the Xbox LIVE arcade. Well that is if you believe the Australian Classification Database rating system. No specific date or system has been slated for the release, but we’ve got a hunch it will be coming to Xbox LIVE arcade. Especially in light of all the games Sega has put out on XBLA these past few months. Can you say 8 player online multiplayer? Yes please!

Tell us what Sega games you would like to see come out for digital download.

Of all the games on my radar, Ace Combat Assault Horizon hit me in the face like an angry blue marlin (It makes sense if you don’t think about it). I’ve never been a huge fan of the series. Was always more of a Air Force Delta kind of guy. Though a few months ago a trailer for the game changed all that. Sporting a brand new combat system with dynamic camera angles and arcade like gameplay, I was certainly intrigued.

After gleefully downloading Radiant Silvergun…wait, you didn’t know it was out? Go on, do it. I’ll be here waiting for you to do your gaming duty. You done? Alright let’s continue.
