Puma is making some sneakers that are Mega-Man themed. Now how can I pull off this look? (I fear the answer to that question is just: “no.”)

Well, word is now out that Ziff Davis, publisher of gaming site 1UP.com and EGM Magazine, has made some big dealings with UGO Entertainment.  Apparently, 1UP was sold to UGO.  This certainly will mean big things for 1UP.  One of my favorite podcasts, 1UP Yours, is getting the ax

But more importantly for the industry, EGM Magazine is no more.  Anyone who has been playing video games for a long time will know EGM.  If you walk down the magazine aisle at your local grocery store, and look for a video game magazine (something I’ve been known to do from time to time), you will usually see a few mainstay magazines: EGM, GamePro, and Game Informer.  No offense to the others, but EGM is (was) the best of the best.  It is sad to think that they’ve now gone the way of the dodo.  Now I will be forced to choose one of those “other” (says with nasal tone) magazines.  EGM, you’ll be missed.

I… am… totally… amazed.  Words fail me.  Have I said yet that the Nintendo DS is the best system ever invented?  What?  Not today?  Ok.  The Nintendo DS is the best system ever invented.

I have never been so excited for something so low budget.  The beginning is cheese, but the ending is intense!  Great special effects and an exciting musical score.

This is an old video.  I’m not sure why I never posted it before, but it always makes me LOL.
