So who remembers the Game.com? Yeah? No? Well alright then, let me explain. In 1997 Tiger electronics came out with their own black and white handheld system named Game.com and in 1997 the Game.com failed. But these bad boys had a touch screen!! And you they could go online. Whoa! However in order to go online you had to buy a monthly service for the machine and plug it into it's own modem, but still that was pretty fascinating at the time. The internet was also text only. You know what? It wasn't interesting, it sucked then and it sucked now. There was also only a handful of games. They even had some pretty big franchises like Sonic, Resident Evil, Mortal Kombat, and Duke Nukem but they were all designed in house, meaning they were all designed by Tiger and not their original designers. So basically what I'm saying is that they all sucked and the system couldn't handle the games.

Man check out those pretty maids side by side each other. I also got my self a copy of Duke Nukem, Resident Evil 2, and some other games I don't remember. Hopefully I can't get this baby online soon and update the page from it.

Here's a commercial for the system



Apparently Tiger's calling everybody idiots really worked out well.

So NBA JAM came out yesterday for the Wii. It's just as awesome as you think it is,except for one thing. It's on the fucking Wii and we all know the Wii sucks. Luckily, they're releasing HD versions for the Xbox 360 and PS3 that are supposed to be out before Christmas. So i'd recommend getting this, then getting one for each the Xbox 360 and the PS3 because you can never have enough Jam.

Notice that Mike D has a 10 in Dunk.

Yeah.

I know I'm a little late writing about this, but I bought Halo Reach for Xbox 360 the day it came out. I enjoyed the game, but you know what I enjoy more? Tie-ins and cross-promotions.


I just found out about this promotion because I was getting some gas at speedway the other day and saw some Doritos with some Halo chums on the bag. Unfortunately, they aren't any new flavors of Doritos. Just standard cool ranch and cheesy nacho, but with their bags all haloey. Needless to say I bought a bag of each.



On the back of each of the bags is a code you can type in to be entered into a drawing for the prize of your choice. They have drawings for copies of Halo:Reach, Halo Xboxes, controllers, Halo hoodies, and some other stuff. I tried to put the codes in but I could only get one to work because they were printed so poorly. It didn't matter because I never win these kind of things anyway and this was no exception.

While poking around the site I noticed that the main promotion of the contest wasn't even Doritos, it was Mountain Dew. I thought maybe the world would be at peace again and Mountain Dew Game Fuel was back. Or maybe even a brand new flavor, but sadly it's just the regular ass Mountain Dew flavors with some Halo kats on the bottles.



There we have a shitty close up of some Halo-ized 20 ounce bottles of Code Red and Voltage flavors. Apparently each bottle has a different character, but I'm just a casual fan so all I know is that they're all spacemen. Which guy is Halo? Unlike the Dorito bags these codes are printed under the caps so you don't have to worry about little junior Beano son of a bitch going into a store and writing down codes from Dorito bags.

So if you like Halo, Mountain Dew, Doritos, or awesome shit, than this contest is for you.



Here's a pic of all of the 20 ounce Mountain Dew bottles together like a family. The empty one was a bottle of orange Livewire but I was thirsty. Like, mad thirsty.

Later.....

Billy Mitchell finally reclaims his thrown as the Donkey Kong world record holder. Not only did Billy Mitchell reclaim his title in Donkey Kong, he also had enough time on his hands to set a new world record in Donkey Kong Jr. I think we can all sleep a little easier now knowing that Billy Mitchell is out there kicking ass on 80's video games, making hot sauce, and loving the crap out of America.



GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!

You're not gonna believe this they made Doritos based off the Madden 2011 video game. Yes they did. Hell yes!!! I get Madden every year for my Xbox 360 because I'm a real sucker so when I got the Sunday ads this week I flipped through trying to decide where I wanted to buy Madden this year. Best Buy was having a buy Madden get a game half off deal, K-mart was giving money off another EA sports game purchase, Wal-Mart was giving deodorant and a gift card, and Target was giving away a gift card and fucking Madden themed Doritos. The choice was now clear I would be getting my copy of Madden from Target. Although I was tempted to finally be able to say that I just bought Madden and that my armpits are dry.

Anyway,I bought Madden and got my Doritos. SO are these Doritos man enough to hang out on the Grid Iron with the other Dorito flavors? Let's find out.

1st let's take a look at "Stadium Nacho"

Hmm...Doritos already has the classic nacho cheese flavor, so how do make a flavor like that also taste like a stadium? There are many possibilities and direction they could go with this. Like making the chips actually taste like concrete, metal, or any other material used to build a stadium. Thankfully the chips don't taste like a stadium. I assume they're going for nacho cheese dip with a hint of jalapeno taste that they usually sell at sporting events. I guess I can taste a hint of jalapeno, but they taste more like a nacho/cool ranch hybrid. They also look pretty identical to cool ranch Doritos. I'd definitely give these a solid recommendation.

Now, "Tailgater BBQ"

The taste real bbquey. I know that's not a real word but that's really the best thing that I could type to describe them. They have a real strong smokey flavor with an almost mesquite like taste with an evasive sweetness. I thought maybe these were a reimagining of the delicious smokey cheddar BBQ of days past but no such luck there is no cheese taste on these chips. Overall not bad, but not my favorite.

It's also worth noting that each bag comes printed with a 9-digit code on the back of the bag to redeem excluse Madden Ultimate Team cards for use in Madden 11. So yeah, there's that.

These will probably only be around for a limited time so get up and buy some then sit back down and eat them.

So I bought the Talking Classics DVD and it's pretty cool. For anybody that doesn't know what "Talking Classics" is Wikipedia sums it up as

" A mocumentary that follows video game fan Keith Apicary, starring and created by comedian Nathan Barnatt. Keith Apicary is a 28 year old gamer who favors Neo Geo and Sega. Nathan was kicked out of the 2009 Comic Convention in San Diego for jumping on stage as Keith during Peter Jackson and James Cameron's panel to get a drink of water. He was recently kicked out of E3 2010 for interrupting a G4 interview, asking where the Sega Dreamcast 2 was. Barnatt is currently developing a TV series for Keith Apicary based on Talking Classics for Comedy Central."

A new episode is released about once a month on screwattack.com and if you haven't seen it yet, it's pretty funny. Unlike The Angry Video Game Nerd (who I am also a fan of) Kieth Apicary is actually a character that comedian actor Nathan Barnatt is playing and he's actually a pretty good actor. If you're a fan of the show I'd recommend picking this DVD up. It has all 13 episodes released so far and lots of special features including behind the scenes, commentaries, deleted scenes, interviews, and more. If I had any complaints it'd be that actor Nathan Barnatt while in character and out seems like a guy best suited for small doses in real life or watching him on TV or on the Web because he seems like a guy who feels pressure to be funny all the time. Luckily, each episode on this DVD is only around 5 minutes in length and they don't overstay there welcome. So check it out and get an emotional boner.

And when is the Dreamcast 2 coming out?

????????

So I bought a Sega CDX system on ebay recently for about 150 bucks with some games and what not. The package came the other day and just like I usually do with packages that arrive at my doorstep, I opened it. But there was something odd about this package.



Notice anything?

Well there's a FUCKING steak knife in the box!!!

A KNIFE!?

Wow.....I wonder if this guy was trying to send a message. Like, he's real pissed I got such a good deal on his CDX........ or he was cutting the bubble wrap with the steak knife and accidently sealed it. Whatever, I got better things to do, the system came with NBA Jam.
