Just a word to the wise from everyone here at PerezStart.com:  when buying a 360 ask for the list of different bundles they have in stock, unless of course you have an undying love for Kung-Fu Panda.

Dr. Chien surpassed the 1,050,200 Donkey Kong mark set by Billy Mitchell, with an unbelievable score of 1,061,700 in 2 hours and 35 minutes according to Twin Galaxies officials, ending the game on the famed kill screen.

The Perezstart.com staff first met Hank early in 2009 at a Richie Knucklez competition in Flemington, NJ. We remember seeing Hank playing on the Donkey Kong arcade machine wearing his medical scrubs. We then saw Hank again at the Richie Knucklez’s Invitational, and noticed something special brewing after he broke the 900k mark. Hank is a cool and calm customer, he has nerves of steel and exudes brilliance with every move that he makes.

Hank began practicing Donkey Kong on the MAME version and then invested in his own Donkey Kong arcade machine. The game of Donkey Kong requires impeccable hand eye- coordination and precision. It is only natural that the steady hands of a Plastic Surgeon could attain this phenomenal feat.

Personally, Dr. Chien is a very pleasant and kind person to interact with. We had a chance to sit with him back in August and speak to him about his plans and goals. At that time, we saw the determination in his eyes and made the bold prediction of breaking the 1,000,000 mark and taking the holy grail of all video game records, the number one spot Donkey Kong!

Dr. Hank Chien hails from NYC where he practices plastic surgery in his office in Flushing, NY. He has a computer science/mathematics degree from Harvard, attended medical school at Mt. Sinai Medicine and completed his residency in Vanderbilt University.

Will the record be challenged by Wiebe/Mitchell? Hank is already positioned to increase his high score even further. We at Perezstart.com feel that his record will never be broken since Hank has brought the record to an unreachable level now.

Perezstart.com will be attending Richie’s Classic Arcade Game Tournament in Flemington, NJ taking place on March 18, 2010 – March 21, 2010. We expect to catch up with Hank and congratulate him personally on this gargantuan feat. We also expect to see some new records broken at this exciting annual tournament. If you are free next weekend and live in the tri-state NY/NJ/PA area, don’t miss this star-studded classic arcade event! Make sure to let Richie know that Perezstart.com sent you!

If you like your zombies fast and survivors plucky then you’ll be happy to hear that Valve dropped some more details about “The Passing” at Microsoft’s X10 conference.  “The Passing” will provide players with two new weapons to constructively increase the average number of perforations per zombie, one in melee format, the other in ranged.  Reports from the show floor suggest that the ranged weapon is a sort of heavy machine gun, something bearing a close resemblance to a M60.  Further information regarding the appearances of the original game’s survivors also cropped up.  They will occupy an NPC role and will reportedly feature at the beginning and end of the campaign.  Looks like we’ll have to wait a bit longer for 8 player co-op zombie slaying action.

One final bit of good news on the zombie slaying front.  Valve has announced that the original Left 4 Dead will see some content love as well.  Roughly a month following the release of “The Passing” Left 4 Dead players will get a new campaign that covers events leading up to the Left 4 Dead 2 campaign.  No specific details were given, but it should go a long way towards quelling the remaining discontent over Left 4 Dead 2’s rapid development and release time.

Throw some gas in that chainsaw and start stockpiling ammo, more zombies are headed your way soon.

For days Apple-maniacs have speculated what Apple’s newest tablet device would be called.  And today that speculation ends.  The very sleek and thin tablet is going to be called the ‘iPad’.  Larger than the iPhone, Apple CEO Steve Jobs claims the iPad will be like “holding the Internet in your hands.”

Equipped with a touch screen and a new feature patented by Apple called the proximity screen, user’s will be able to control the iPad before the user’s actually touch the screen. The iPad will be available with 16 GB, 32 GB or 64 GB of Flash storage. It will also include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a speaker, microphone, compass and 30-pin connector to plug into iPod accessories.

We’re fans of the media network and Howard Stern is the largest On-Air personality in the business.  His sidekick and stand-up comedian from The Howard Stern Show, Artie Lange, was rushed to the hospital on Saturday morning after his mother found him on the floor with multiple stab wounds on his body.  Lange sustained 9 stab wounds with three being deep plunges.

His mother went to drop off some food at Lange’s Hoboken apartment when she found her son laying in a large pool of blood.  The surgeons who worked on funnyman Artie Lange were able to save him.

More as we get it…

Anthony Maldonado, 9, was murdered overnight by his cousin Alejandro Morales, 25, due to a fight over a video game in the Harlem burrough of NYC.  Reports claim that the two were playing a late night game into the wee hours of Sunday morning.  At 3:00 AM, Anthony (the victim) knocked on his uncles bedroom door claiming he was being stabbed.  When the uncle opened the door, he saw the 9 year-old passed out on the floor.  An hour later, the boy passed away while doctors attempted to rescue him but were unscuccesful.

“He was in my room door. He said, ‘Uncle, I’m being stabbed. I’m being stabbed,’ and then he fell on the floor,” said Carolos Juela, the victim’s uncle.

An autopsy was performed on young Anthony Maldonado and results revealed there was damage to the perforated left lung and carotid artery.  Maldonado of Palisades Park, NJ died on Sunday, January 3rd, 2010 in St. Luke’s Hospital in NY.

While we don’t know yet what caused the argument, many news outlets have put heavy emphasis over this incident happening over a “stupid” video game as reported by Channel 7, WABC. 

Alejandro Morales, who’s mentioned as a friend of the family, is currently being charged with murder and has been arrested.  PerezStart would liked to send our condolences to the Maldonado family and mother Dolores Beatriz Juelas.

Given how many Final Fantasy remakes and spin-offs there have been across a number of consoles in the past 5 or so years, one game every Final Fantasy fan has been begging Square-Enix to consider has to be Final Fantasy VII.  It seems the prayers of Final Fantasy fans might be answered sometime next year.

Tetsuya Nomura, who happens to be one of the chief officers on all things Final Fantasy, was interviewed by Japanese magazine ‘Gamega’.  He was asked what Square-Enix had planned for the coming year.  The question, “Will 2010 be the year for the announcement of the game of his dreams?” was asked.  Tetsuya-san replied with the following:

I can just say, that indeed, whereas I’m still working on Final Fantasy Versus XIII, Agito XIII and a little later on The 3rd Birthday (this year), we will announce other games this year and one is terribly awaited from everyone and often “REQUESTED” by fans and even by the press crew that I meet all over the world.

Given that quote, that’s far from actually admitting a Final Fantasy VII remake will be announced. On the other hand, I can’t think of any other Square-Enix game that has been requested by a huge percentage of their fan-base as much as Final Fantasy VII.

[Update: Looks like this rumor might have been too good to be true.  According to a retraction post on RPGLand, it seems their tipster might have fabricated the portion of the interview saying the upcoming game was an often requested game by fans and media.]

Yes, I know that is Lindsay Lohan in the picture and no she is not the one who made the call. A Boston mother recently called 911 on her 14-year old son after finding him playing Grand Theft Auto at 2:30 one morning, this is way after she had told him to go to bed. Question is: Is he really playing the first Grand Theft Auto? Come on mom stop being so cheap and get your son a new console. Anyway I would’ve just taken the console away from him and or the tv but that is just me, this is a little too extreme and a waste of a 911 call. Then we get Michael Jackson and Tiger Woods calls and they do not take them seriously enough. I mean come on really! Full story after the break

“Mejia’s son – one of four children the 49-year-old is raising alone – was playing “Grand Theft Auto,” an exceedingly violent video in which the gamer assumes the role of ladder-climbing criminal.
An argument ensued as Mejia unplugged her son’s PlayStation. Then, this mad-as-hell mother dialed 911. Police responded and managed to talk the boy into shutting off the game and going to sleep.

Mejia said she approves of athletic-themed videos, but as for “Grand Theft Auto,” she said, “I would never buy that kind of video. No way. I called (police) because if you don’t respect your mother, what are you going to do in your life?”

“They (police) were just like, ‘Chill out. Go to bed,’ ” the boy told the Herald.

Ok, so now the police have to be parents to children? Don’t they have enough on their plate with racing to Dunkin’ Donuts and threatening kids with handguns after getting a snowballs thrown at them?

It all begins tomorrow, Erick Scarecrow will put 3 Soopa Maria Warhol APs up for sale on his ebay page. If you are not as lucky and do not snatch one of those up, you luckily get a second chance on Dec.28th. On that blessed day, you get a chance to get your gritty hands on a Soopa Maria Lanna which is seen above, I would say an adorable version of Luigi. Both you will be able to purchase at his shop, which is a rarity because those Soopas are a dime a dozen and fly off the shelves like hotcakes. Perhaps there is still a chance a loved one can get me the Warhol AP version before Christmas, so it can be all pretty in pink with my other Scarecrow collectibles.  I will fight to the death to win either figure, I wish you all luck! Picture of Warhol AP after the break. P.S. Follow Erick on Twitter here.
