This is…really kinda weird. Yup. I’d rather think that Pokemon are born the ether and shed into existence by a blissfully ignorant universe, as opposed to actually being born and nursing.

Old GVL favorite, Rayman Raving Rabbids on the Wii has put out a new trailer.
I really hope that you don’t need the Wii fit tablet to play the next one…otherwise we’re all going to die.
Several months back, Electronic Arts (EA) filed an unsolicited buyout offer of Take 2 Productions (T2) at a price of $26 per share. To the casual hardcore gamer, these events usually don’t get noticed. Games just get made. Now, if you are a fan of the Grand Theft Auto (GTA) franchise, and you’re one of the teeming masses that can’t wait for the fourth number in the series, you really should have been paying attention.
Ostensibly, what this meant for you was that if the buyout was successful, GTA 4 probably would have been delayed until the 4th quarter of the year in order to make the holiday season more profitable. Take 2, on their own, needed this title to come out as soon as possible. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t in dire straights. GTA simply would allow a greater cushion for the next year. Among their own intellectual properties, they have a larger number than EA does.
*Update* I just got hit with the dumbass stick…I’ll be making another post about this shortly, that I wrote for the Ebbtide. I’ll put that up on Friday, when the issue’s in print.
Go ahead…take this the wrong way. I get scared when things get too big. If I see an indie movie, and I dig it, there is a small chance that everyone and their dog will love it, think it’s a life-changing experience, talk about it incessantly, and suddenly the fact that you like it tears you away from your baret and black turtle neck wearing artsy hip friends because you became trendy.
Whether you’re a fan of Disney and other American animation or not, an important figure in the world of animation has passed. Ollie Johnston, the last of those known as the “Nine Old Men,” passed away yesterday, at the age of 95, in Sequim, WA.
If you have seen the movie “The Rescuers,” and have seen the character Rufus the Cat, then you’ve seen Ollie, as Rufus was a caricature of him.
If you’ve seen the Fox and the Hound, the Rescuers, The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, Robin Hood, The AristoCats, The Jungle Book, Mary Poppins, The Sword in the Stone, 101 Dalmations, Sleeping Beauty, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Lady and the Tramp, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad, The Wind in the Willows, Melody Time, Song of the South, Peter and the Wolf, The Three Caballeros, Bambi, Fantasia, Pinocchio, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Little Hiawatha, or a number of other Disney works (primarily early ones), then you’ve seen his work.

So you’re a wino, a gamer, love remote control cars, and have nowhere to recycle your old bottles? Take a hint from this kid. The original Super Mario theme on wine bottles. It sounds awesome.
Thank you, Boing Boing
Cowering is not the right word, perhaps an infuriate pause while waiting is more appropriate, standing off to the side with my right eye twitching. I held my sword at the ready, letting it become like an extension of my phallus, and waited for the storm to pass. Thunder clapped, lightning shot down before me, driving itself through the earth, undoubtedly passing into the chasm below where it fell upon its waiting caller. I could hear the shout again, echoing through my entire being and through the past several years of my life. “Pika-CHU!” Bloody electric rat.
Few things have changed between this new incarnation of Super Smash Brothers, and those from the previous generations; it is a tongue and cheek fighting game allowing players to take the forms of various characters throughout Nintendo’s long history. Added elements, including new characters and items, a story mode, and a plethora of controller options make the game easy to jump into.
Back when I used to do a lot of gaming, we used to make character sheets for people we knew, people we’d like to know, or just people that stood out. There’s something comforting about being able to reduce people down to a series of numbers.
Over at Wired, they’ve done a tribute to Gary Gygax in the form of reader rolled character stats for celebrities such as Steve Jobs, Stephen Hawkings, and other non-Steves, in classic AD&D style. It’s pretty fun.
Though, we usually used White Wolf style character sheets when we rolled each other, ’cause, you know, that’s how we roll.
I spend a lot of time reading about stuff online, and through the grapevine found a couple of things regarding my favorite game of last year, Portal.
Firstly, through Kotaku, I saw this video that was taken from our own SakuraCon of a cosplayer dressed up as GlaDOS. The challenge put forth by Kotaku was how long you can make it before your sympathetic embarassment gland kicks in and you have to stop it. Personally, I find that most of YouTube does that to me. Though, I honestly thought that she did a decent job.
I do have to give her credit, there’s some very nice touches for that costume. I was totally laid out with the flu, so I didn’t get to go, though I gather that Dessa had a blast.
The second bit was this, found via Destructoid, and actually written on Game-ism.
This looks so tasty. It sounds so…southern? Meh. Whatever. I can’t wait to see where this is going to go.
Check out Red Vs Blue’s site for more info! And that the…DUN Dun dun….Griffball Intergalactic World Championship that’s going to be at PAX this year!
One of GVL’s favorite online videos (ok mine really) has always been the Gorgeous Tiny Chicken Machine Show. The show was recently added to the CSpot, a Sony TV humor channel and will be adding new shows every Friday.
This weeks new episode heralds the long overdue return of fan favorite Rick Pope (or Lick Poop if you’re a purist). Oh and Kiko makes a movie with Ron Jeremy.
GTSMS is a spoof of a Japanese Talk show starring and written by Kim Evey (from “Almost Live”) in the role of Kiko and is directed by her husband Greg Benson (star of a “buttload of commercials“).
Lets clap hands and cheering!!
I haven’t been feeling all that well lately, and didn’t do a whole lot of poking around, but I did see a couple things. Both of which I kinda wanted to see in reality.
First up, the Starcraft 2 site’s Tauren Marine. These guys put quite a bit of effort into this prank, including some pretty sweet videos that are, well, a tease. Then again, isn’t that what April Fool’s is all about?
Here’s the other tasty bit…
Although, watching a movie where the main character says nothing beyond “Hiya!” and “YaaaaaAAAAH!” would only be entertaining for the first 15 minutes. Thirty if I’ve had a few.
