The LEGEND OF ZELDA CLUB

These guys are pretty incredible. Not only did they make a movie trailer using every John Hughes eighties movie ideal combined with Legend Of Zelda but they also shot it to look like it's a VHS tape recording. I'm not really a gamer, so I brought this to a friend of mine who lives for video games. He got twice as much out of it as I did and said they nailed everything they needed to. Dig it!!

GOD OF WAR!!!!---The Indie Film?

Here's another awesome video from the guys who did the Legend Of Zelda as a John Hughes movie. This is Gods Of War as if it was a Wes Anderson indie film. Again, these guys nail it and I'm not even a gamer.

THE NEW EPIC MICKEY GAME MAY JUST KICK ASS

Both of the people who read this blog with any regularity know that video games is the one nerd ship that sailed without me. I don't know what it is but they just bore me to tears, though oddly enough I can watch people playing them for hours. So lacking any real wisdom over gaming I tend to ignore when Zombie Dance Attack Warhound Space Duel 8 is released with the new bonus thrash-attack-electric-voltage-armband. However this new Epic Mickey thing seems awesome. A few weeks ago I brought you some images of the game (check that out HERE) which were awesome and now the plot has come up. Check this out:

* The game's plot revolves around "forgotten" Disney characters. Obscure characters from long-forgotten cartoons and rides have been cast into a dark world of broken-down machinery and very bitter attitudes.

* The main villain is Disney's first ever cartoon hero, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Now a nobody, he has rallied the residents of the dark world and is out for revenge against the mouse that took his place as Disney's spokesman.

* Oswald unleashes the Phantom Blot, a monster that invades the Disney universe and begins to disassemble it by using black ink and making the colors of the world run
together (this explains the "melting" imagery used in concept art).


First of all how cool is it that they're bringing back the very first Disney cartoon character and that Disney is allowing him to be pissed off!! I'm also amped that they seem to be taking a really dark direction with this game. I doubt it'll be filled with Mickey feasting on dead intestines but it'll still be darker than Steamboat Willy.

Wii BRINGS DISNEY INTO THE STEAM PUNK AGE

I hate steampunk pretty much across the board. While the concept and visuals behind it can be cool I grow weary of people throwing the term "punk" onto something to try and make it sound like it's part of an underground movement that it isn't. Punk Workout, SteamPunk, Punk Bedsheets, Punk Crayons, it's enough already. That being said the new Wii game "Epic Mickey" looks fucking cool as shit. I don't play video games (it's the one nerd ship that sailed without me) but I enjoy watching people play them and with these visuals how could you not love it. I would buy a robot Goofy figure just because it looks so damn cool:
