It’s Black Friday the most deadly time of the year. Brian and Landon share our deals, steals, and tears from the busiest shopping day. And since it’s Thanksgiving weekend, what more appropriate subject than the video games we are thankful for. We look at those games that changed the industry, personal favorites, and influenced future generations of interactive entertainment.
Plus watch as our phone glitches and fails us miserably live on cast.
So what would happen if Monsters Inc. made hot sweet lovin’ with Tron? Well besides the awkward love scene between Mike Wazowski and Master Control, you’d get something very close to one of my new favorite web series ‘Level 20-Something’!
The series is about two guys who work at a place called the “Animosity Agency”. They spend their nine to five as the CPU. They are the characters who play against or with the human controlled players. It’s a downright dirty job with lots of pain and little pay. Along the way they meet up with a fiery bartender and get thrown into many of your favorite games in pixel form.
I found these guys through well, uhhhhhh honestly just screwing around on the web searching for new videos. But this is when screwing around on the web pays off. Though I was surprised to see how few subscribers these fine lads had. It’s funny, well produced, and doesn’t suck. So I’ve done my part and subbed and ask, nay demand you subscribe to them as well! Here’s the first episode for your viewing pleasure.
If you are a comic book fan, this isn’t new to you. You either are excited about this change or upset (fine, I guess you can be somewhere in the middle too). Some books are going away, some change drastically, and some things don’t really change at all. I am personally upset that the Red Robin book is ending. I have been a big fan of the 3rd Robin, Tim Drake, from the beginning. He isn’t quite going away though, he just won’t have his own book, I can still read him in Teen Titans #1.
Stepping back though, what things are changing?
This week has been jam-packed with great videos popping up, and in case you missed them we have you covered. Some are just plain entertaining and some so impressive my jaw dropped. Tron Guy is brilliant, that is all I can say. Check out all the videos on the jump.
Seriously Konami if you don’t hire this guy, I will. If for nothing more than to provide my eyes more sweet visual candy.
One of the most intriguing features of the 3DS is the included AR cards. What are AR cards? It stands for augmented reality cards. If you’re not sure what augmented reality is, it’s a camera that uses your surroundings and graphical technology to add in elements so it looks as though the 3D object is sitting right on front of you. By reading specially designed cards, games can create new objects for users to interact with.
But one creative fellow from Japan took the phrase “bigger is better” to heart.
