The Wizard

This past weekend I spent half of my time working on a model kit that I've left unfinished for more than a month now and during that time I went through a sort of movie marathon. A particular movie I saw involved a strange plot that tied in a video game tournament. From Wikipedia;

The Wizard (also known as Joy Stick Heroes^[1] in Germany and Sweet Road in Japan), is a1989 adventure dramedy film starring Fred Savage, Luke Edwards, and Jenny Lewis. The film follows three children as they travel to California so the youngest, who has a condition that makes him emotionally withdrawn, can compete in a video game tournament. The Wizard is infamous for its numerous references to video games and accessories for the Nintendo Entertainment Systemand has been called a feature length commercial. The film was also well known for being North America's introduction to what would become one of the best-selling video games of all time,Super Mario Bros. 3.^[2]

So you got the kid from The Wonder Years and a bunch of NES games from the 80s. If you're a 80's or early 90's baby and you haven't seen this? I strongely suggest you do, right now.

Two Best Friends Play Season 2 Finale

Machinima's Two Best Friends Play is at the end of it's second season and this time they went out with a hilarious bang. Matt and Pat play a game that I never even knew was made. Man vs. Wild the video game.

I'd describe the type of game it is to you but I think watching the video will do it more justice. Enjoy

Weekend, what are you playing?

Ah finally, the weekend is here. You know the drill. What are you playing?

Migoy: I've been blowing up some stuff in Gundam Memories on my PSP. I thought I was close to being done with that game until I saw the game completion percentage so I still need to spend some more time with that. I've also starter Bully on the PS2. I have never played Bully before but I heard it's one of the best Rockstar games out there. People often list it with Red Dead Redemption and GTA San Andreas. I'm having fun with it so far though I am still very early in the game. I'll most likely be broadcasting it on our live channel so check in and see if I'm on the feed.

Quash: Just got back from a road trip to Baguio City so my gaming this weekend was pretty low. My friend brought his 3DS so gaming was still present even on a road trip. Played his game file of Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, which by the way looks amazing on the 3DS. The 3Ds is an amazing handheld. The 3D in the device is actually top notch, but with it, it lessened my game time since the 3D got my eyes tired. It's the first time i tried the 3D feature so my eyes wasn't used to it. I also played some Excite Bike 3D on the 3DS, Still an addicting game.

Arlie: Sorry for the late update, I haven't played that much video games this week. I just redeemed my free PS3 games from PSN Japan when their Store was back up the other day. I got Echochrome and Hustler King (Hustle Kings in US) from the Japanese PlayStation Store for free. I am working on a not-so-secret project for TMG, that involves geekery and dorkness.
