The Most Epic Mario Art Ever Created
This is a polystyrene block statue by Kordian Lewandowski titled Game Over. It mirrors the famous Pietá by Michelangelo, in which the Virgin Mary is shown cradling the dead body of Jesus. Keep reading to see a picture of the Pieta and a picture that gives you an idea of how big Lewandowski’s art is.
Mmm, Cake
This is a video of four of the stars of Lost saying, “mmm, cake.” I have three theories about why this video could possibly exist.
1) The cast of Lost has officially gone batshit crazy.
2) Viral Ad for upcoming episode of Lost where the entire island is revealed to be made of cake.
3) Viral Ad for Portal 2.
My favorite possibility combines them all where on the final episode of Lost, Glados comes down a reveals it was all a test. They get incarnated and Gorden Freeman shows up to take over the island and fight off aliens. I don’t know about you but I would watch that show.

Mario’s Inferno
This is the Dante’s Inferno Super Bowl commercial….with Mario. I’m not sure why but it seems more epic this way. Hit the jump for the original commercial.
Problems with the Pokewalker
Pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver come with a Pokewalker, a small device allowing you to bring your Pokemon with you on walks. It can be used to level up your Pokemon, catch new Pokemon, or get more items. The small addition of the Pokewalker is bringing back old Pokemon fans who haven’t played the new games. But before you run off to pick up the remake of Gold and Silver, you might want to know the problems with the Pokewalker.
Level Cap
Each time you bring your Pokemon out on a walk, you can gain up to one level no matter how much you walk. For lower level Pokemon, it is much quicker to level them up in the game than it would be to use the Pokewalker.
Pokewalker Access Limited to Title Screen
If you want to transfer a Pokemon to or from your Pokewalker, you must enter the title screen (where you select to continue your game). This means if you are playing the game and are ready to save and go out with your Pokewalker, you need to restart the game and get back to the title screen before you can put any Pokemon in your walker. You can only transfer Pokemon from your PC to the Pokewalker so if you want to bring one from your party: you need to enter the game, find a PC, transfer to your PC, then exit back to your title screen to transfer them to your Pokewalker. › Continue reading
It’s Hard to be a Boss
This video just made me feel great about myself. All by myself I was able to beat all their minions and defeat the boss. Nothing could stop me. Nothing!

Left 4 Dead Movie
There is a fan made Left 4 Dead movie in the works. The game has a large movie feel itself with movie posters for each campaign and an opening cutscene that left you wanting more. I’m really excited about this and the production value looks really good. Check out the trailer below and head over to their website to learn more about the movie and check out their campaign posters using the actors.
Playstation Move Games Announced
Sony has been announced the official name for the Playstation Motion Controller at GDC and it is The Playstation Move. It is definitely not my favorite name of the options (Gem, Arc, etc) but the actual controller looks great. It will feature sports game and a game called Move Party, which appears to be the game demoed at past events that uses the PS Eye. The game displays the player inside the game settings and transforms the controller into your tool used in the game (ie razor, paintbrush, fan).
The Playstation Move will be compatible with LittleBigPlanet. The normal controller will be used to control the sackboy while a player using the Move can control the environment.
The PS Move will also be used with Eye Pet to control items like the cards do normally.
The Playstation Move will also have a sub-controller to help players move, similar to the Wii Nunchuk. Using the two controllers, Socom will be full playable from beginning to end.
Here is a picture of the “Move” symbol:

Do You Hate Fun? Try Farmville!
This video is for all of the people who constantly send out messages to send gifts or be friends on Farmville. I hate you with a red hot passion. I use Facebook to talk to friends and pimp the Last Geek fan page. I have no interest in finding out what Twilight guy is perfect for me or playing games on Facebook, that’s why I have three video game consoles.

God of War Made Me Ignore My Girlfriend
This commercial is awesome for two very good reasons:
1) It depicts how so many girl feels about their boyfriends every time a huge title game comes out that true gamers can not resist to sit down and keep playing it till our eyes bleed. In fact, it really doesn’t matter the game or how often you play it, I’ve heard it from just about any girl who knows a guy who at one point held a controller (not including the relatively few gamer girls I know).
2) They are so clearly and blatantly marketing this to guys. In an age where you have to be so politically correct to everyone, and Sony being one of the worse, I love how their commercial just spells out how this game isn’t made to appeal to girls and we really don’t give a shit.
