On a day in which a new God of War PSP game was announced and a new Xbox 360 bundle was leaked, the force wasn't with a few news stories. We give them love in the Daily Stale Bread.
5/04 -- Star Wars Day (May the Fourth be with you)
Will: Along with the 180 new Peace Walker screens. For anyone interested, there's an Ashley Wood rendering of Snake talking to a cat on our site, now.
Andy: Some of these screens...I just don't understand...
The OneUps release Super Mario Kart album, music video
AJ: Oh man, the OneUps have a new album. I think they changed drummers again though :(
Dave: This makes me miss The Advantage.
THQ Founder Jack Friedman Has Died
AJ: Ah, bummer -- the THQ founder guy died.
Dave: He used to work at LJN? That's so weird, because I was thinking about the NES Roger Rabbit game a lot yesterday. RIP, Mr. Freedman.
AJ: Never played it -- any good?
Dave: I was thinking that it can be seen as a precursor to GTA, because it allows you to perform random acts of violence to strangers and includes multiple cities that you can traverse by car.
AJ: <3 Benny the Cab
GAMECRUSH: Videogaming Meets the World's Oldest Profession?
AJ: The more I hear about GameCrush, the more I want to puke. It basically IS prostitution.
Dave: Hey now, until money changes hands for sex, let's be reasonable and call this hardcore explicit phone sex.
[KCMM][Brawlhacks]Team Time -Super Mario Bros as 1 Character
AJ: This cool Brawl hack makes Mario & Luigi into one character a la Ice Climbers.
Dave: Man, the Smash Bros. hack community is pretty damned impressive.
Game Journalists Are Incompetent Fuckwits
Tae: The title of that blog is pretty spot on,
AJ: Wow, so much rage.
Dave: I don't know whether to be relieved that GamePro's not on that site... or feel left out.
Vote for the CCFC's Worst Toy of the Year
AJ: Dude -- a Halo toy has a shot at being CCFC's worst toy of the year.
Tae: "You already own the most popular videogame franchise of all time, with hundreds of millions of dollars in sales. Want to increase profits even more? Market your game to young children!"
Ugh. i hate the outmoded idea that toys and the like are still for "kids."
