I think we can officially declare the energy drink market over-hyped. Mega Man, who’s known as Rockman in Japan, is coming out with an energy drink called Rockman E Can Drink. It resembles the energy capsules from the classic Mega Man titles. It’s about $1.25 for a can and probably tastes like complete ass.
Adolf Hitler won’t be making an appearance in the newest installment of the classic WWII-themed Wolfenstein video game series. For those of you who are under 21, Wolfenstein is a Nazi shoot ‘em up game that’s widely recognized as the godfather of the first person shooter genre. Wolfenstein 3D, which was released in 1992 featured Hitler as an evil boss, but he hasn’t been seen in a Wolfenstein games since then.
Kevin Cloud, an artist working on the latest Wolfenstein sequel, told Eurogamer that Hitler won’t be in the new game because:
“We’ve got to save something for future Wolfensteins. We can’t do him in yet!.”
Hitler’s already been a target in the old-school Wolfenstein game, so I’m not sure why they think the uber-Nazi would be off limits for subsequent titles if they let gamers have another shot at him now. There’s still no planned release date for this new Fuehrer-free version of Wolfenstein.
We’ve seen a lot of neat stuff made with the Arduino processor, like that Mad Hatter top hat or the gigantic keyboard. With the infinite possibilities the Arduino offers, where are all the games made for this development platform?
Enter the ArduGame, a hand held device that runs a small game that has yet to be named. Using an OLED display and the controls of an old Sony PSP, the folks at BricoGeek have crafted a fine piece of gaming hardware that could potentially put the portable Atari 2600 to shame. It finally proves that the Arduino is a fun and flexible tool for game programming.
Ever have someone ask you if you need a hug and you go “Yeah, I could go for one.” This Space Invaders quilt is sort of like that. It’s comfy, warm and certainly unique. I could so go for one on my bed.
Remember that ridiculously stupid beer pong video Vince posted regarding the Nintendo Wii? Just when you thought your Wii might have a practical use, in comes the Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal to stereotype Wii users as minors. Originally, the ESRB had given Beer Pong a T for teen rating, regardless of blatant alcohol references, making Bluementhal upset.
With all the controversy over a “drinking” game going to a system whose target demographic is children and childish fanboys, the developers of the game have changed the name of it to Pong Toss. Eliminating the alcohol reference has earned the game an E for everyone rating, which perfectly suits the old people and little kids playing on the Wii.
We like girls. Pixels, polygons and even cosplay, the girls of gaming come in all shapes and sizes. But for this list they can come in only one shape: curvy. We’ve selected 25 of the sexiest video game babes EVER. So while you’re relaxing at the beach with your laptop this July 4th weekend, we thought it’d be nice to provide you with some eye candy that surpasses even the bikini-clad beach broads sitting next to you.

I was browsing one of my private torrent sites today when I came across this torrent called “Nintendo VS SEGA EP” from the Remix Artist Collective or RAC. The album features four tracks consisting of classic Nintendo remixes. All your favorites are here: Link, Mario and Sonic. It’s pretty decent dance music and would go over well at the Maker Faire I’d imagine. Or Crobar Miami. Whichever is up your alley.
Here’s the tracklisting. Click the “Link” button at the end of this post for the official website where you can download the whole EP legally:
01 - Super Mario Bros (RAC Mix)
02 - Sonic: Labyrinth Zone 5 (RAC Maury Mix)
