oh hay guys! I’m Hell’s Messenger!

This is the cool new (ish) trailer for the new Riddick game The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena. It looks quite right, don’t it?

I enjoyed the Riddick movies and the games. And although I am a poor man with only a Wii and missing a real men’s console like the 360 or PS3, I am sort of excited.

The short trailer just gives you a little tease of what players can expect.

Because I am so awesome I also give you this 4 minute video of the game’s intro. But, this being the Internet, you probably have seen both videos already. What a sad day this is for all of us. Never forget: Many Bothans died for bringing us this information.

Things that needed to be done: The Portal Gun has been built

chris — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 11:33:52 +0000

Although this is just a copy it gives me hope. Hope, that one day someone out there will actually build a real Portal Gun. And give it to me. Me alone. Step 1 in my plan to take over the world. Step 2: Deathstar (Isn’t it great how I manage to sneak in a star wars reference into almost every post?).

Details are as follows (let’s get technical, shall we?):

It lights up both blue and orange along the tube, in the barrel, and in the “indicator light” on top. The light switch is a two-way toggle in the back by the handle. It’s 22″ long including the prongs and weighs about 15 lbs.

Where the Hell is Matt? – Team Fortress 2 Style

Now, wether or not all those Where the Hell is Matt? videos are a big fake or not, it is still a pretty neat idea to go dancing around the world. Even if the world may or may not be nothing but a bluescreen trick played on the whole internet. But I digress.

This cool video is basically the same. Just with those guys from Team Fortress II dancing around in other online environments (like Second Life, WoW and other stuff). Very entertaining!

Friday Classic: El grande espectaculo de PAC-MAN

Every Friday we’ll be posting some classic stuff from our great German sister site with no readers. Because a) it’s Friday and b) we’re lazy and c) we don’t have any readers on this site either. So who cares?

This is a commercial for some game stuff, Gametap. No clue whatsoever what that is and I’m not going to google it either. You could though – and tell me off in the comments for not knowing. You know, because we value your opinion and we would love to know what you think of our site and/or products! REALLY!1!!

The commercial shows the eternal struggle of Señor Pac-Man and his fight against those pesky little ghosts Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde. In Mexican puppet theatre style. Nice!

For me, Pac-Man was one the only highlights of my holiday in Spain (muy encantado) with my parents when I was little. I was about 8 or something and instead of going down to the beach (like all the normal kids in my age) I decided that my time and my parents money was much better spent in the arcade.

The Year In Video Game Violence

chris — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:41:00 +0000

IGN reviews the year 2008 in the most important category in video gaming, ever: Violence!

Some of it is a bit of a stretch really but I don’t care. Much. At all.

And I didn’t find Moira to be irritating but she seems to inspire hate in a lot of people though. Because there is nothing else we really should be worrying about. Like why there’s no decent games on the Wii.

The video is unembedable so go to IGN to watch it: http://uk.ps3.ign.com/dor/articles/941874/the-year-in-violence-2008/videos/YearInViolence_121908.html
