Nice Muscle!

Every once in a while you stumble upon a game trailer so beautiful, so incredible, so unbelievably amazing that you watch it twenty times in a row, jaw dropped each and every time, and then immediately haul ass to the nearest game store to reserve your copy. You schedule your days off around the release, you tell your friends to not bother you during that time period, and you stock up on food so you don’t have to leave the house until the game sees completion. This is one of those games. Prepare to be stunned to a state of complete and utter disbelief because that will happen just as soon as you hit play, …

Fundfax Fairraiser Update

the fundfax fairraiser

Despite the fact The Fundfax Fairraiser had to end early (please remember you can always donate via Marissa’s page at absolutely any given time), there are still plenty of updates about its current status. According to my very rough estimates, the community managed to raise well over $6,000 in four very short days. All goals I had made were surpassed in the first 24 hours and for that I would like to express my deep gratitude to each and every one of you. It may have not run the course I had originally intended, but I refuse to call this anything but a success!

Prizes continue to roll in and several things have been added to the various prize pools (which are outlined below and have also been added to the main page). My goal is to air the drawing via a live video stream broadcast on the internet but I have no experience with that and was expecting to have more time to iron out the details. Anybody who can offer advice on a website to use for this and any other pertinent information that could be beneficial, please let me know! Otherwise, I will continue my research and post the date and time when I have finalized the details. It will be coming, and it will be coming soon. Much love, and thank you for the continued support.

When Sandtrap Attacks!

Upon hearing the phrase “eaten alive,” one of three things typically comes to mind – your favorite episode of When Animals Attack!, the not so ambiguously gay duo Siegfried & Roy, or the time you accidentally walked in on me and your mom. If you are the blue Spartan in the following extremely short Halo 3 video however, that particularly traumatizing couplet of words probably brings back a rather painful memory involving Sandtrap, a few stray bullets, and a very hungry stone structure. In a valiant effort to spare the comments of an overused onomatopoeic utterance, let’s all say it together just to get it out of the way: NOM NOM NOM. Now you have to think of a new comment. Ha!

*A special thank you to XMixMasterX, who said walking in on me and his mom was no accident, for the tip!

Peggle Institute in a Frenzy Over Substance Abuse Scandal

peggleSeattle, WA – Allegations of substance abuse echo through the hallowed halls of The Peggle Institute, the Nation’s foremost academy devoted to the Peggle arts, as a former employee prepares to publish a tell-all book.  But the target of these allegations might surprise you.  It isn’t the students who are getting high, says the whistle-blower, it’s the faculty.

“Listen, anybody who has been around The Institute knows that the Masters aren’t as squeaky clean as they appear to be.  I’m just the first person brave enough to step forward and tell what I know.” Peggle Masters, as they are called, are world-renowned experts in their field, and the Institute’s faculty is comprised of some of the most brilliant Peggle minds on the planet.

Hungry Hippo, former faculty member and Peggle Master, says his new book will expose the dark secrets behind the illustrious center for learning. In “Behind the Orange Curtain:  My Life in the Cult of Peggle,” Hippo catalogs the excesses he supposedly witnessed during his time there and specifically outs a number of prominent individuals.

20 Video Game Tattoos In Questionable Areas

The merging of video games and tattoos is often met with success. Other times it is met with nipples, butt cheeks, and other areas of the body that are typically kept ink-free.

Edible Wiimotes

wiimote cakes

Some people find that their Wiimotes come in handy for scratching that nagging itch on the center of their back that would otherwise remain just outside of reach. Other people appreciate the controllers that come with their Nintendo Wii as wondrous wands of vibrating goodness. DeviantART user Rzeznik91 forgoes both of those alternative uses and instead holds the opinion that they are an excellent model for some tasty treats. Using bar cake pans to mold the shape and frosting to add the embellishments, the final blue-trimmed Wiimote cakes are truly a sight to behold. If my Wiimotes were edible, I’d probably pull them out every now and again, although I think at this point simply finding them would be an accomplishment unto itself.
