Happy Halloween! Love, Bungie

31 10 2007

From Bungie.net :

infection

In the dead of night, cold lids flutter and wake from dread slumber. What do those milky eyes see when they rise from their graves? What do those decaying nostrils scent in the air as they sniff the perfumed night of the boneyard? Brains of course. Succulent, delicious brains. Brains are to zombies as bacon is to people. Or candy, if you’re kosher.

It is a scientific fact that zombies feast on human brains because they are the softest meat on a person and Zombie dental care is not really up to snuff.

To celebrate the gustatory tendencies of the walking dead and to acknowledge All Hallows Eve, we’re launching a spooktacular, eerie-otic and cryptmongous playlist for 27 horror-filled hours, starting on October 31st at 12:01am and ending at 3:00am on November 1st because we love Hawaii Halloween too (Chicken skin kine). It is infection and it is the playlist of the Living Dead.

Buy Mii a Wii (Funny Parody Video)

30 10 2007

Black Nerd Comedy has a hilarious new video out called Buy Mii a Wii. It’s a parody song/video of T-Pain’s “Buy U a Drank” and it is simply beyond hilarious. The first 40 seconds are slow, the rest is a riot. Watch all four minutes, it’s well worth it. Super Paper Mario-oh …

Playstation 3 Master Chief Custom Figure

30 10 2007

Rest assured that the custom Master Chief figure up for grabs right now on eBay is not your typical Spartan figure. Oh no, this particular figure is from the hit Playstation 3 game Halo.

Features (from the eBay page) :

Up for auction is this SIGMA 6 style version of the greatest Spartan of them all, “MASTER CHIEF” from the hit PlayStation 3 game “HALO”. He is approx. 7″ tall made using a GI Joe Sigma Six figure. I was inspired by the awesome figure made by the great customizer Jin Saotome. I sculpted much of the armor and then put a base coat of flat green. Then I weathered the figure using various techniques. He comes with a variety of weapons including a Pistol, Rifle and a Brute Weapon. He also has another, helmetless head that shows off what John Spartan looks like (Although no one really knows what he looks like). I also made a base which is made using train model moss and real rocks as well as some mechanical pieces to simulate a crashed vehicle. A dead soldier was also added to the base as well as a custom dead BRUTE which was made using a marvel legends figure and sculpted armor and other parts. This figure is one that needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. He is fully transformable and has too many points of articulation to count. Many hours were put into this figure to get him to look just right.

Custom Nintendo Wii Wrist Straps for your Wiimote

29 10 2007

If you own a Nintendo Wii then you are familiar with those boring plain white wrist straps on your Wiimotes. You know what? It’s time to ditch them. I found some cute custom wristbands on Etsy that you can replace them with to further customize your controllers. Please keep in mind that if you have a skin on your Wiimote, you will need to color coordinate between the two. Clashing accessories is a definite no-no.

The Storm Hovering Over Guitar Hero III

29 10 2007

Guitar Hero III : Legends of Rock was just released yesterday and it is already swimming in the sea of controversy. From bundles containing the old X-Plorer guitars to complaints over the new wireless Les Paul guitars, some Guitar Hero fans are finding themselves less than thrilled with RedOctane’s newest offering.

Several gaming sites are reporting stories of people going in to purchase their Guitar Hero III bundles expecting to have the heavily hyped shiny new wireless guitars but instead finding the wired X-Plorer guitars that originally came with Guitar Hero II. The boxes are clearly marked but since there was no mention of the bundles coming with the old controllers, it did not occur to the majority of consumers to double check what guitar they were getting. Now that everybody is aware of the different packages being sold, check your box carefully to make sure you are getting the guitar you want if you are considering purchasing this game.
