Princess Peach has Royal Duties
She is a princess, after all. When she’s not being kidnapped by King Koopa, one has to assume that Princess Peach (or Princess Toadstool) is overseeing her kingdom. The people at Random Encounter have made a fun song saying as much.
Someone Caught a Real Live Pikachu!
And by ‘someone’ I mean the VFX artists at Final Cut King. And by ‘caught’ I mean made a Youtube video. And by ‘real live Pikachu’ I mean a real live Pikachu! Oh my god, you guys, this is amazing! It’s also possibly the most adorable video clip you’ll see all day. Thanks to Topless Robot for the find.
Diablo 3 is Surprisingly Close
We are a week away from the release of Diablo III, and I have not yet decided if I’m going to play it. How is that possible? What the heck is wrong with me?
I slew that demon in the depths of Hell in Diablo 1, and went multiple playthroughs to slay him again in Diablo 2! Though admittedly I never beat the expansion level at the end. So why am I not salivating at the mouth for Diablo III? We all know the game is going to be amazing, it’s got the co-op that I really like and I know my computer is powerful enough to play it (or at least it should be), so what’s the deal?
This is all just rhetorical though. I don’t know why I’m not dying to play it. Possibly because I spent all my anticipation on The Avengers, or maybe because I have so many other unfinished video games at the moment. Could be anything. But until I figure it out, enjoy this sweet Diablo mini-cartoon!
All the Last Avengers Parody Videos
The past few weeks have been rich with Avengers parody videos online. Seeing as how the movie debuts tonight (squee!) I don’t want to be posting too many more of these. But I found these two just today, so I thought I’d share. Because no doubt everyone else in the world is just as excited as I am to see the Avengers tonight!
First is a music video parody by the Screen Team.
And then a pretty funny video about the ‘Official’ Avengers video game!
The Dragonborn Comes
I’ve realized for a few months now that not only did I never write a proper review for Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but I also never let my readers know how my orc warrior Tannenbaum did on his quest. Suffice to say, he kicked ass and saved the world from the dragon menace. The game was awesome. I logged in more than 100 hours over three characters…but then sadly, my interest died down the moment after I beat the main story. Which sucks. I never played my side characters to their fullest, or really even finished with Tannenbaum.
But I do hope for some excellent DLC one of these days. My idea is to get Tannebaum married and set him up in the biggest mansion in the land, having retired from adventuring after he saved the world. Then when the DLC hits, he’ll have to come out of retirement. It’ll be awesome.
To make up for my lack of Skyrim closure, here’s the absolute best song from the game, song by a nice lady named Maluka. It’ll take people back.
