Dr. Mario Theme Song; Now With 100% More Lyrics

November 18th, 2009 Daniel Perez No comments

In all my years toiling away at Dr. Mario time and time again, in no way did I ever think its theme song could have lyrics due to my lack of any kind of imagination.  That’s where this video comes in.

Brentalfloss is the mastermind behind putting lyrics to the Dr. Mario Theme, and thanks to him, I know now Dr. Mario got his degree from watching medical dramas, can only prescribe red and blue pills, and diagnosed Princess Peach with crabs.

Super Mario Dungeon Theme Gets The Death Metal Treatment

November 18th, 2009 Daniel Perez 1 comment

I’ve heard a lot of different remixes of some beloved old-school songs, but this is the first time I heard a remake rock this hard.  What makes the video more badass is how the artists, during their jam session, decide to play a little Mario with the lights off!  That takes this video…. TO THE EXTREEEEME!!

Pacquiao Defeats Cotto, EA’s Prediction is Correct

November 15th, 2009 mrjuandrful 1 comment

Pacquiao vs. Cotto

Manny “Pac-Man” Pacquiao defeats Miguel Cotto for the WBO Welterweight Crown. Funny, EA predicted this already with their simulation video below…. The simulation outcome saw Pacquiao get the decision over Cotto through 12 Rounds 118-109. The real fight on Saturday, November 14th was stopped in the 12th after two knockdowns to Cotto during the fight left his face a bloody mess. Another successful prediction made by EA, shows how accurate their data collection has been over the years.

Video: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Launch Trailer Pushes The Hype Train Along with Eminem

November 6th, 2009 Daniel Perez No comments

Infinity Ward released the official launch trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and boy, is it a doozie.

The gameplay footage we see in the trailer spotlights some previous footage that Infinity Ward released mashed in with some new footage, such as the satellite blowing up in space, into a single trailer with a very fitting soundtrack.  Eminem’s “Till I Collapse” was chosen as the song to help amp up the hype level for Modern Warfare 2, and to be honest, I see no other song more fitting than that one.  Not only does its beat bring out the emphasis how epic Modern Warfare 2 will be, but also Eminem’s lyrics are befitting of the game, specifically towards the end,

Cause I don’t really think that the fact that I’m Slim matters
A plaque of platinum status is whack if I’m not the baddest.

The original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare set the gold standard for the FPS’ franchise, to which many other FPS games have adopted some of its ideas (XP, further customization of your character, etc.).  With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, the already ridiculously high bar Infinity Ward set itself with CoD4:MW is now being challenged once again.

Modern Warfare 2 Perk, 25 Kills gets you Tactical Nuke

November 1st, 2009 mrjuandrful No comments

We mentioned how MW2’s F.A.G.S video showed off Cole Hamels hatred for Grenade Spammers.  No one likes a spammer, but how about an abuser of power.  It seems that Modern Warfare 2 has a new perk after reaching 25 kills in a row without dying.  It’s called “Tactical Nuke” and not only does it obliterate everyone, but you also kill yourself.

Video: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Asks Us To Fight F.A.G.S.

October 31st, 2009 Daniel Perez 2 comments

Infinity Ward’s latest Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 trailer is… interesting.  It does show some gameplay footage, but for the most part it’s a PSA to ‘Fight Against Grenade Spam’, or F.A.G.S. for short.  Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels tells us random grenade throwing are, “for pussies”.  It’s kind of strange he’s suddenly included in the PSA, but I believe it was to tie in with the World Series that’s currently underway.

With the amount of anticipation for Modern Warfare 2, I don’t think this was a smart move on the part of Infinity Ward.  Yes, we all hate random grenades.  If you think about it though, aren’t all grenades that kill you random to the one getting killed?  You never expect them, but then when you hear it, you’re for the most part surprised.

What are your thoughts? You think this trailer was over-the-top, or do you think it’s just right for Modern Warfare 2?
