NES Legend of ZeldaOverview:

System: Wii Virtual NES
Developer: Nintendo R&D4
Publisher: Nintendo

Originally released in 1987 on the Nintendo Entertainment System, The Legend of Zelda was a bold new design from the now-legendary Shigeru Miyamoto. The game shipped with a gold cartridge and a revolutionary ability to save a game’s progress via batter power. Sporting a huge overworld to explore, tons of dungeons and bosses to vanquish, and yet another blond princess to rescue, Miyamoto’s new game went on to become one of the most influential titles in the industry.

Since its release, there have been many sequels, spinoffs, character cameo appearances, and even a philosophical book, but there is only one original. This game is where the greatest franchise in video game history was born. Continue reading

[Food Review] S’mores Pop-Tarts

smorespoptarOverview:

Nothing beats the simple pleasure of sitting by a fire reading ghost stories, singing campfire songs and making s’mores. The fresh air, open sky, and the threat of being stabbed by a hobo or eaten by a bear are just a few of the exhilarating aspects of spending a night in the wilderness.

If you’re like me, however, you’re far more likely to find yourself sitting by a microwave, looking at porn on your BlackBerry, singing Dolly Parton songs and snacking on these S’mores Pop-Tarts. I’m afraid of bugs, rain, and hobos, so I very much prefer to stay within the confines of the great indoors. Continue reading

[Movie Review] Inglorious Basterds (Theatrical)

Inglorious PosterOverview:

This film is fantastic. I’ve read a few reviews out there that call “Inglorious Basterds” a “mixed bag,” but the people who wrote those reviews are obviously idiots. This is easily one of Tarantino’s greatest works, possibly even surpassing “Pulp Fiction.” Of course this film isn’t for the stuck up snobs out there who aren’t Tarantino fans, but for everyone else, this film is for you.

[Game News] Nintendo Announces Black Wiimote, Pink and White DSi

blackwiimoteThose of us who took an early interest in Nintendo’s now market-leading Wii system remember it being flaunted in a bevvy of colors. Green, blue, pink and some other colors were shown, but black and white understandably stood out as the pack favorites, with white eventually winning the color war.

Those of you, myself included, who were rooting for a black Wii (lol) will find Nintendo’s latest Wii-related announced a tad bittersweet. The Big N has just revealed that they will launch a black variation of the Wiimote, the Nunchuck, and the Wii Motion Plus peripheral this holiday season. Sadly enough, however, no black version of the actual system has been announced as of the time of this writing, but I’ll remain hopeful.

pinkandwhitedsiAccompanying the new color of the Wii accessories is two new DSi colors — white and pink. These two new colors, making four DSi variations total, will be available beginning September 13, 2009.

[Food News] Baconlube: A Bacon-Flavored Personal Lubricant

baconlubeThis is not a joke.

The people over at J&D’s have a firm-standing belief that everything should taste like bacon. Everything. They’ve already made porky products such as Bacon Salt (our review), a bacon-flavored mayonnaise called Baconnaise, and a Bacon Lip Balm that shimmers with all of the vibrancy of artery-clogging pig grease.

But that isn’t enough, not by a long shot. Now J&D’s is taking bacon into the bedroom with this super slippery personal lubricant, giving a whole new meaning to the word “porking.”

It’s not yet for sale, but bacon enthusiasts looking to get their bacon strip extra crispy can head on over to the J&D website and sign up for beta testing.
