PETA’s Take On Cooking Mama

Filed under: Gaming, Internet

Anyone who has ever played Cooking Mama knows what a sweet heart the protagonist, Mama, is. PETA, on the other hand, has a different take on Majesco’s cooking franchise for the Nintendo Wii and DS. To PETA, Mama is an evil witch hellbent on killing innocent turkeys for this upcoming Thanksgiving.

In this Flash game, you’ll go through each preparation of the turkey, from plucking its feathers to stuffing it. At the end of each level you’ll be rewarded with a PETA fact that’ll have you feeling bad about cooking turkey. That, or it will just make you want to cook more turkeys. The game is twisted, but very well done. It’s up there with Super Obama World.

Wii Love Wii Accessories

Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals

I get it. You’re too classy to put all your Wii-motes into a shoebox. You want something that’s stylish and has “Wii” printed on it. The Wii Remocon storage accessory is just that. While it’s no shoe box, it can double as a pencil holder or a box you can shit in.

It’s $7.99 per Remocon which comes in black, aqua and plain white. A penny more and you’re getting robbed considering each box can only hold one controller. Who am I kidding? Paying any amount of money for this would be like buying a lap dance from a stripper without legs. That’s alright, though. Wii fans are suckers for lousy futile peripherals.

Trying Out The New Xbox 360 Experience

I hope you’ve been preparing for the new Xbox experience because it’s going to change the way you play your 360. No doubt you’ve heard that Microsoft has completely revamped the dashboard, bringing with it a new design and avatars that give core players the casual feel of the Wii. Is this a good thing? It sure is according to Engadget.

Joshua Topolsky of Engadget wrote up a positive preview of the new Xbox experience which will soon be your new dashboard. In the preview, he comments on the likeness between the Xbox 360’s marketplace and iTunes. Additionally, he mentions the Netflix feature which allows you to shuffle through movies in your queue. I’m thrilled about the new Xbox experience, I just hope my 360 doesn’t turn into a Wii. Look for the update to hit your system come November 19th.

Let’s Tap: The Next Brilliant Idea From Nintendo

Everyone has been holding their breath for the next eye-popping accessory to hit the Nintendo Wii. I just can’t get enough of great products like the Wii MotionPlus and Wii Sqweeze. Those are two accessories you simply can’t miss out on.

If you’re a Nintendo fanboy, then you’ll be excited to hear the news of Nintendo’s latest brilliant idea. It’s called “Let’s Tap,” and it adds a whole new element of gameplay to the Wii that you never thought imaginable: tapping. That’s right, tapping. An activity once used for passing time when you’re waiting around for the bus has now been given new life, thanks to the Nintendo Wii. Just set your Wiimote on top of its flat surface and begin tapping away. That’s all we know for now, but boy are we excited!

The Wiimote Unleashed

For every Wii game released there exists a useless peripheral for the Wiimote. Wii Sports received those lame themed extensions for the controller just so that when you’re flailing your arms around like an idiot, you’ve got a greater chance of hitting someone.

The release of Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is no exception to this fact. For $20 bucks, you can equip two Wiimotes with lightsaber extensions to bring a whole new feel of immersion to your game. Or, you could go outside and play pretend - it’s basically the same thing.

Mega Man 9: Call It A Comeback

Filed under: Gaming, Internet

You’d best get to your local convenience store and stock up on some Mega Man energy drinks because Mega Man 9 is coming - again. Knowing Capcom, it’ll probably come ten more times because Capcom just can’t quit anything.

Mega Man 9 has been given a release date of September 24th for the WiiWare in Japan. No word on an American release date so far but we’ll keep our eyes peeled. The game is expected to launch on the PSN and Xbox Live as well, but no news or dates have been announced. One can dream!

Why Do Wii Fans Enjoy The Wii So Much?

Filed under: Gaming, Internet, Videos

What really makes the Wii so popular? Is it the robust library of games? Can’t be. Is it the faulty control mechanism? Anything is possible. What about the fact that Nintendo has the cheapest system on the market but you’ve got to buy twice as many controllers at marked up prices just so you can play with friends? Nah, that’s not why people like it.

Oh, this video explains it all! It’s the reason why people love the Nintendo Wii so much.  In this video found on YouTube, we see the stereotypical Wii user in action playing one of the first-person shooters featured on the Wii that more than likely has no blood in it. Watch as his excitement and pleasure become fulfilled by his best friend and companion who gets stirred up over the Wii, thus proving the Wii is as exciting as getting fucked by a dog.

Homebrew Goodness Reminds Me Of Old Sierra Game

If you’re one of many Wii owners that are tired of using it at as a DVD player or a dry-erase board, then you’ll be happy to know that the homebrew scene is still going strong with innovative concepts that are pushing the capabilities of the Wii more than Nintendo ever attempted to do. Wii Physics is one of the newer homebrew apps that almost makes the Wii seem enjoyable to play. Using your trusty Wiimote you can place objects on a stage and adjust their size and rotation.

Sounds boring, huh? I’m not finished, asshole. Pulleys, ropes, gears and joints can be used to connect objects together and when all is said and done, you press the play button. That’s when the magic begins and The Incredible Machine turns on, causing the objects to fall and interact with each other. It’s free to download and the source is also accessible in case you want to expand upon it.
