So I was browsing the shelves of Gamestop the other day and noticing that Nintendo was putting out a slew (well maybe not a slew so much as a few) of games that were Gamecube games remixed for the Wii’s controls. I was totally stoked because one of them is Pikmin, which I love. Yes, fight for my supplies my colorful horde. . .

In any case, it got me thinking back to the systems of ancient times. They were fun weren’t they? And so cheap now. So, if you are looking for something to do when you come home from the bar or when you don’t want to study, here are my top five not-really-so-retro-games for your playing enjoyment. Grab one of the gaming systems online and have a grand ol’ time. Read More »

While it’s sure to go over the head of many viewers (due to relevance, not pretentiousness), the Garfield tributes by Lasagna Cat are some of the most absurdly funny videos I’ve seen in years.

Lasagna Cat (the creation of Fatal Farm, an artist based out of L.A.) has created a bizarro world full of wonky live-versions of the Garfield cartoon strips. Each clip starts off with a hackneyed send-up of Jim Davis’s comic, followed by Lasagna Cat’s take on the strip, rife with fanboy inside jokes (dig the Final Fantasy VI episode, one of the best RPG-inspired spoofs ever) and zonked-out graphics influenced by pot-addled epiphanies.

I would’ve had a seizure watching these vids…if I wasn’t laughing so hard.

If you don’t “get it,” don’t worry – nobody does. There’s nothing to grasp beyond pure, unfiltered ridiculousness. I have a feeling Fatal Farm knows that.

It’s irrelevant. It’s not topical in the slightest. It’s exactly what I’m looking for in a YouTube channel.
