Halo 3 Suicide: Rube Goldberg Edition

Amy Tucker — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 12:48:17 +0000

From the first time that I saw a Rube Goldberg drawing or creation I was completely ~~jealous~~ amazed. The ingenuity and complexity is pretty much awe inspiring. Think of Mouse Trap from your childhood and you’ll get the general idea. [Or I guess you could just read the cartoon at the left...]

Anyway, a couple of sites have posted this video and I just couldn’t help myself. The “money shot” starts 30 seconds into the video.

Enjoy!

My Ode to Halloween

Amy Tucker — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 10:00:36 +0000

It’s that time of year, dear readers.

A time of goblins and ghouls and witches on brooms.

Ok.

Who am I kidding?

It’s time to go trick-or-treating [aren't you a bit old for that?] and dress up like a super slutty bar maid.

In honor of my favorite holiday, I figured that I would give you some links to some great games.

Some are blatant Halloween games; some are just plain scary.

Halloween games

Undead Smackdown – Ben and Jerry’s version of wack-a-mole…except you’re whacking zombies with a shovel.

Tomb Chess – Clear your “graveyard” of your opponent’s “ghouls”.

Transylmania – Turn all of the invading villagers into the walking dead.

Kingdom Hearts 2: Halloween Town – Skip to this world and be rewarded with Jack, Sally and Zero from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Just Plain Scary

You know it’s good if you have to confirm your date of birth…very good.

Any of the Silent Hill games – The first Silent Hill was the first game that gave me nightmares. Origins is set for PSP release Nov. ‘07.

Resident Evil – A game so wonderfully creepy that it has launched three sequels, books, comics and movies.

F.E.A.R. – Are you freakin’ kidding me?! Make sure you have a towel handy for when you pee yourself.
Indigo Prophecy – Not a title most would consider “scary” but it definitely has creep factor.

I know that this list is far from exhaustive. But, it’s my list and these are the games I’ve played that have made me look twice at shadows in my bedroom.

Happy Halloween!

Tiny Billy Against Sony and Nintendo

Found this piece of art on Flickr and just want to share with you. But has the gaming scene changed (since the black Xbox days)? Has Tiny Billy grown? What do you think?

Gameboar.com is not a Pig

Gameboar.com is not a gaming pig or Miss Piggy playin video games. But rather it’s a video gaming news, real time, aggregator or portal, that covers major gaming websites from GameSpot to Major Nelson.

Currently in beta (which most Web 2 sites are now), it uses Ajax to let you jot the links in a notepad that’s placed at the top right hand corner. What the site lacks now is a community and a more user friendly interface.

Mission Impossible 4: Tom Cruise’s Kids Playing Video Games at Home

Patrick Quek — Wed, 24 May 2006 04:57:15 +0000

It’s Mission Impossible for Tom Cruise’s kids or his family to play or even read anything related to Nintendo Wii, DS, DS Lite; Sony PlayStation 2, PS3, PSP; Microsoft Xbox 360; gaming consoles; video games and PC games in his household.

This ultimate video game ban applys to all his family members including his two older kids. And they are not allowed to watch TV with the exception of movies. Duh.

I guess I will choose Nintendo Wii rather than a Hollywood dad.

Halo Pwns The Da Vinci Code

The Da Vinci Code can be seen, heard or gaining ground everywhere…books, movies, documentaries, tours, speculations but not games (not the Google Da Vinci Code Quest). Why?

Simple, Halo still reigns. Amen.
