Freaky! Max Payne can dance!

First off, let me take this opportunity to give b5media’s video games channel boss Mike Leaño a pat on the back for doing such a great job at whipping our sorry behinds keeping us all in top form. Actually, I’m just trying to butter him up because I need to borrow one of our favorite […]

The Goonies: Music video and video game

Hahahaha! I can’t stop laughing. I don’t know which is funnier: seeing The Goonies video game being played to the beat of Good Enough by Cyndi Lauper or watching Captain Lou Albano (who played Mario in the Super Mario Brothers animated series) in the music video for the movie The Goonies. I can’t make up […]

Litil Divil: And you think you had a bad day?

Watch this video and count yourself lucky:

It’s from the game Litil Divil, and that small red critter, named Mutt, is your character.
Fortunately for you and Mutt, Litil Divil has its share of cheat codes. I won’t give you all of them (you cheat!), just a few to get you going. Before you start tapping keys, […]

Litil Divil: Fun comes in small packages

How fun is it playing a devil? Well, if you’re thinking wanton destruction, fire and brimstone, Litil Divil is definitely not for you. It’s no fun razing an entire city with millions of underworld denizens at your beck and call. It’s more fun traipsing around Hell to get the big boss his dinner.
Dinner? Yeah, dinner. […]

Karateka in pop culture

In the Wikipedia entry for Karateka, the game is mentioned as having received some notoriety as an Internet meme. Apparently, someone toyed around with the idea of rotoscoping the final sequence where the hero approaches Princess Mariko and replacing it with the hero performing MC Hammer’s dance from the hit single U Can’t Touch This.
I […]

Karateka: The dude gets his revenge

In my last post I talked about Karateka, giving a little background about the video game (for those who don’t know about it) and lavishing my praise on, in my humble opinion, one of the best fighting games.
I mentioned that Karateka had all the elements of a good video game, including humor. Well, if you […]

More Mario videos #2: Super Lego Mario

Talk about fanaticism. Producing cartoons is one thing, but stop-motion animation is an entirely different animal, especially if it concerns Mario and his twisted world. But someone’s eventually bound to do it. And so we have Super Lego Mario—the video game Super Mario Brothers done in (what else!) Lego bricks.
So far I’ve watched three videos, […]

More Mario videos: Peach is a cheat?

I’m really amazed at the amount of fan-made videos on one of video gamedom’s most loved characters. Yes, I’m talking about Mario (”It’s always about Mario,” quipped Luigi in the last video we featured), and this time around, it seems our jumper-clad plumber is the victim.
As you have already probably guessed, the video is about […]

Weird, if not disturbing, Mario and Luigi images

I was trolling for useful images for my growing Mario Brothers image bank the other night when I ran across these, uhmm, wonderful original artworks:

My apologies to the artists who created these Mario Brothers masterpieces. Apparently, the images, which I downloaded from Infosoldier, 1up, and Gay Gamer are reproductions as well.
Personally, I love the second […]

Street Fighter: The Later Years

Ever wonder what will happen to the heroes and villains of Street Fighter when they grow older? Apparently, the guys up at CollegeHumor are asking themselves the same question. Fortunately, they’ve already found the answer as this video shows:
