Titled ‘Paper City’ this rendering of the Mushroom Kingdom is set to look like a board game, but I don’t think its actually playable – if it is – it looks [...]

We’re all about classic 8bit sounds and chiptuning. We’re not so hot on Christmas music or Jesus. Still, the angle of recreating classic holiday tunes with the 8bit sounds catches our attention enough to pass it along to you. Tis’ the season, now go spend money. Santa needs you!

Contra: What If?
December 19th, 2008
Comments Off
Here we have Black20′s idea of what Contra would look like if Uwe Boll directed it. It’s a clever video that came to our attention from Slashfilm. If you care about film at all, you should be checking that site regularly. It is much more readable and tolerable than aintitcool or chud. Enjoy the video. [...]

Ben, our [8bit Crap/Cool Stuff] moderator, has been slackin lately – ever since he got that PS3 and Lego Batman. It’s OK tho – that’s a good enough reason for me and I’ve got his back here as does Onion, a close friend of the [8bit] crew, who passed along this “pretty” picture from a [...]

Comments Off
WiiWare launched in the US today. What does that mean? Well if you have a Wii, connected to the internet, you can download games from both big name software companies and from smaller, indie, developers. Essentially this reduces the cost of the software because there isn’t a need for a publisher. The PC has done [...]
Super Smash Brothers Yahtzee
April 24th, 2008
Comments Off
Being a big fan of Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw’s vulgar, sharp, poignant and mildly animated video reviews, I have thus far decided not to mare the experience by “reporting” on them. But his recent review of Super Smash Brother’s Brawl is so good, and in line with how I feel about the game I just couldn’t help [...]
