Halo: Reach Beta Intro Video w/ Aisha Tyler?

Acea — Thu, 06 May 2010 06:09:09 +0000

Hey Look, it’s Aisha Tyler, the actress from the Ghost Whisperer. What’s she doing here? Talking about grenade launchers, fragging, generators and just plenty of stuff you wouldn’t expect. Tyler talking about heads exploding with excitement is funny enough on its own.

She speaks it well enough, and you get to see plenty of new clips from the game. Also, Jet Packs. Enough said.

Check it out.

Golden Eye Stand-Off: The Movie Based On The Game Based On The Movie

Acea — Wed, 05 May 2010 04:55:32 +0000

Here’s a pretty good one. It’s some real-life characters that get stuck in a stand-off that appears to be stuck in a Golden Eye the Game universe time-warp.

There’s a golden gun, familiar characters, levels, map settings, and game flaws. It’s good for some laughs, especially if you’ve ever played the N64 classic. Take a peek.

New Starcraft Story Trailer? Hazzah!

Acea — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 05:18:17 +0000

This fell into my day pretty great. After learning that pre-ordering Stracraft II from Amazon.com can net you a beta key, and after receiving mine, I was pretty excited to say the least. I was even more pleased to log on to the internet to find a new trailer for the story of SC2.

The trailer is pretty sweet, and features some of the classics looking badass as usual. You’ll see what I mean.

Marvel VS Capcom 3 Teases some Major Awesome

Acea — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 04:22:27 +0000

Starcraft isn’t the only game that’s been waiting a decade for it’s next title. Enter Marvel VS Capcom 3. I’m sure most of you have probably mashed buttons on some variation of this game in an arcade somewhere, and if not you should probably go try it out.

What’s cooler then Megaman fighting Ryu? Not much… The teaser trailer is below, check it out! We’re looking at a Spring 2011 release date, commence the anticipation.

New ‘Episode’ of Star Trek Online: Deep Space Nine

Acea — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 04:30:59 +0000

Star Trek Online is continuing their release of new content, now tackling one of the more geeky niche franchises of the Star Trek Universe in their newest content patch; Deep Space Nine.

The new content ‘episode’ as they call them, will start with a massive invasion of the usually peaceful Deep Space Nine area. What else is coming? Well, a new space ship to blow your enemies away of course. You can check out the trailer below.

Starcraft 2 Kart – An Ode to Mario

Acea — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 04:13:25 +0000

Mario Kart Wii was the best selling console game of the year in 2008, so it’s no surprise that a Starcraft 2 custom map has already emerged attempting to emulate the popular franchise while at the same time doing it in a hilarious manner.

The music is classic, the whole thing looks silly, and it leaves me really praying for a beta key.

You can take note that the Thor unit is apparently garbage when it comes to racing. No surprise there. With that being said, I certainly wouldn’t want it’s cannons aimed at me. Take a peek!

Street Fighter High – High School Drama in Fighter Form

Acea — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 05:49:31 +0000

High School dramas are hilariously common these days. They are all pretty pain-inducing. As such, it’s hilarious to see Street Fighter in the common High School drama. Enter the fan-made High School drama Street Fighter High.

It’s pretty much exactly as it sounds. The music and dialogue are laughably cheesy. All your favorite characters make an appearance and fear not, there are indeed battles… And cheerleaders. Can’t have High School drama without those. Check it.

Jar Jar Binks Getting Face-Checked? Yup.

Acea — Sat, 24 Apr 2010 05:44:47 +0000

Sometimes fan-art can create things that are wonderful. Such example is Jar Jar Binks getting subjected to extreme violence, which I don’t think anyone can argue against.

Palestinian protesters as Na’vi? Check.

Acea — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 04:27:58 +0000

Although it’s not exactly recent, I think this is the moment when I finally realized how big Avatar really is. I know, I know… It broke sales records everywhere and made boatloads of money, but that’s really nothing in comparison to the social effect it’s having, apparently.

Here we have some Palestinian protesters who dressed up as Na’vi during one of their demonstrations. Geeks come in all colors.

“They equated their struggle to the intergalactic one portrayed in the film.”

They did a pretty good job, at that! Here’s some pics…

Sesame Street likes to Google things

Acea — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 04:15:01 +0000

I never thought I’d see Bert and the Cookie Monster from Sesame Street using Google. I also never thought people would build a life-size Gundam, but I digress…

It’s their own take on Google’s commercials and it’s all pretty short and fun.

Secondo!

Intern Gets Pranked by Olivia Munn

Acea — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 04:20:43 +0000

An intern for Asylum is a nerd that’s in love with Olivia Munn, go figure. Well, Olivia Munn was actually coming to their building for an interview so the staff decided to have some fun with this situation and pranked the hell out of the young intern.

Check it for some laughs.

Rag Dolls Racing like Mario – ModNation Racers

Acea — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 04:30:31 +0000

ModNation Racers is Playstation’s newest endeavor that not even subtly smashed Little Big Planet with Mario Kart together for something that actually looks like it could be pretty fun.

Also the large customization, I have to say, looks devastatingly fun. Designing my own car? Yes, please! Take a peek at the trailer, it’s sitting on a release date of May 25, 2010 for the Playstation 3 and PSP systems.

The Lion King Fortress 2

Acea — Tue, 20 Apr 2010 04:19:01 +0000

Here’s a mash-up of Lion King and Team Fortress 2. Probably not the first smash-up you’d ever expect, but yeah, the Lion King is pretty awesome and everyone loves some team killing fun.

The first one was released a bit ago, and there’s a second video to the saga that just got released. They’re pretty ingenious in their own right and funny.

Check ‘em out!

Here’s the newer one, not as solid but still funny.

Korean Starcraft Commercial does ‘Very Well’

Acea — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 04:19:39 +0000

The commercial involves a Protoss harassing a young lady and blaming a nose-picking doofus, and it’s pretty funny. There isn’t any dialogue except Starcraft unit speech, so you’re good to go on not knowing Korean.

Check it out!

Harry Potter’s Hermione – Has a Stalker

Acea — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:44:16 +0000

The Internet is full of some pretty damn weird stuff, and this is no exception. It’s a mock trailer for a new saga of the Harry Potterverse where Hermione gets an obnoxious and creepy 15-year old stalker.

I’d rather have Voldemort following me around instead of this guy. Be forewarned, there’s language, adult themes and whatnot.
