Paper Mega Man in Stop Motion Animated Video
by Chad Lakkis on October 29, 2008 at 7:04 pm
The retro awesomeness you are about to witness is titled “Megaman 9 – Rockin in paper” and the creation of Nicolas Ménard. It pits a paper Mega Man in a real world adventure made up of everyday objects such as legos, cereal boxes, and a giant paper cutter. Brilliant.
Maybe this will inspire Capcom to create their own LittleBigPlanet type level editor for the blue bomber. Hit the jump to see paper Mega Man in action. Read more…
Miyamoto Joins Three of His Video Game Creations in a Legendary Animated Short
by Chad Lakkis on October 18, 2008 at 4:39 pm
Shigeru Miyamoto teams up with a trio of video game characters he created in an impressive short illustrated and animated by Newgrounds user, Awkward-Squid.
The concept behind the flash animation, titled “Legend of Miyamoto”, involves Mario, Link, and Donkey Kong helping their video game father make his way through their world. Squid says that the work was rushed a bit due to the fact it was being done as a university assignment, but I think it turned out great.

Madagascar 2 Screens Portend Whimsical Nonsense
by Andrew Podolsky on August 18, 2008 at 6:38 pm
When Madagascar was in theaters, way back in 2005, I suspect that the main thing all the kids in the audience took away from it was the hideously annoying “We like to move it, move it” ditty that sticks in your head like a piece of shrapnel. The song’s prominence in the trailer to the sequel confirms that this is, in fact, one of the most insidious examples of psychological song warfare ever perpetrated on our nation’s youth.
But that’s neither here nor there. All I’m saying is, even money, there will probably be some sort of Dance Dance Revolution minigame set to that tune in this game. I’m not sure what else will be in the game, but from the look of these screenshots, it’s all over the place. Life-sized chessboards with gaping chasms? Zebras playing soccer? Penguins in jeeps? It’s a madhouse!

This is apparently not an encounter most people would enjoy.
There has been a lot of hubbub recently concerning the depiction of naked female boobage in the recently released MMO Age of Conan. U.S. gamers fought to keep the nipples in the game, but now it appears they don’t want to actually see them. What gives? Read more…
