Beyond the Sword

The Civilization franchise is one of rare ones that keep getting better with age. Right when you thought Civilization III was the best one out there, Sid Meier threw Civilization IV at us, and that blew us strategy fans away.

Alone in the Dark 4

THIS IS NEXT-GEN GAMEPLAY

You know what, screw Gears of War – I want Alone in the Dark 4! Yes I’ve said it! I want an Atari game…

Don’t believe – good you shouldn’t cause I lie all the time. ALL THE TIME. but not this time. Watch this video now! A special thanks to the German guys at Computer Spiele. Thankfully they only talk for the first 30 seconds, the rest is pure gaming Godliness.

Alvin and the Chipmunks

Alvin and the Chipmunks

I laugh because that’s all I can do. Yes they’re back. Alvin and the Chipmunks with Jason Lee! Pure awesomeness. Apparently the chipmunks are thugs. I guess that makes sense considering in the original they wore long shirts anyways. I can only imagine what this movie will be about and that’s hilarious.

Of course this movie will most likely blow.

The L33tstr33t Boys

2 East Music

More video game parodies to laugh at. This time The L33tstr33t Boys are here… Yeah The L33tstr33t Boys. I can barely spell that, but don’t worry their lyrics are worthwhile. The L33tstr33t Boys were formed by 2EastMusic, composer of The Legend of Zelda: Lost video parodies.

The L33tstr33t Boys is actually a side project of 2EastMusic, but if you want to hear more songs in the future – go ahead and spam them or comment in this post. Basically spread the word and The L33tstr33t Boys will be back.[Update]

I’ve just been informed that Matt, the creator of this band, will be performing at the ConnectiCon 2007 on Friday, July 13th at 6:30pm. The concert emphasizes interactivity including audience participation games, multimedia, songwriting workshop showcase, and a satirical all-gamer boyband. Also performing with Matt are Vic Mignogna, voice of Edward Elric from Full Metal Alchemist, and interactive audio legacy George “The Fat Man” Sanger.

At 1pm he’ll also be hosting the Anime Songwriting Workshop, which introduces non-songwriters to the process of writing pop songs through improvisation, interactive analysis, and offering opportunities to be involved with the studio production. Both Vic Mignogna and George Sanger will be attending the workshop as well!

ConnectiCon will be held the weekend of July 13-15, 2007 at the Connecticut Convention Center on Columbus Blvd in Hartford, CT.
