Dumping Ground

So...xkcd wins for this one. If I had a successful webcomic for every time I cursed Princess Peach to hell for throwing a blue shell at me at the finish line...

In other news everyone should read this article in Wired about the Penny Arcade guys because I internet love them and you should too. Read this one too.

Is it just me or does the Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law game sound like a lot of fun? Hello wishlist!

Speaking of wishlist, at IGN you can put in your list of games you own and games you wish you owned. Collection. Wishlist. I'm a little disappointed with my own list. I thought I had a lot more games. It has also re-fueled my long time life goal of owning a used game store in the spirit of Funcoland. I am officially boycotting Gamestop and EB Games since they are the same horrible overpriced entity. Plus they no longer sell SNES games. I would encourage--implore-all gamers to do the same.

The popularity of Rock Band and Guitar Hero is starting to scare me a little. I'm not even going to link those because I assume everyone out there is already intimately familiar with them. On A Daily Show, Colbert Report, Conan O'Brien, and who knows where ever else they all mentioned that the writers play these games during breaks or that the remaining staff play them in the office while the writers are gone (presumably they are borrowing them from the writers). It's just a bit scary how popular the games are.

If you missed the Conan mention, it's hilarious.

All I need to know about the game is that it blends.
