Sorry, Mario! Your destination is in another castle!
One of my life’s not-so-great ambitions is to just pull some random guy out of a car and beat him senseless. But I never thought of dressing up and doing it. These guys dressed up as the Super Mario Brothers and tried to rob some cab driver in front of a gas station.
One of the suspects, all of whom were passengers in the cab, reached into the driver’s pocket as the car was moving and attempted to swipe his cash.
The driver stopped at a gas station on Arthur Kill Road and demanded that they pay their fare and leave. –NYPost, via Gothamist.
“Uh, we have an APB out on a mister “Mario” and a mister “Luigi.” Suspect is about 25 pixels tall, caucasian male…moustache…may be seen riding small green dinosaur.” Good luck with that, everyone. This case seems more hopeless than beating Super Mario 3. Full video after the jump. I guess that’s how we’re rolling these days… Read the rest of this entry »
We realize that this is the second post for the latest Call of Duty video game in as many days, but I’ve just read a spoiler report in the game that about blew my damn mind. So much so that I’m jumping the post for the benefit of those who haven’t played it yet, or just don’t want to hear about it. But there is video. Read the rest of this entry »
If you’re under the age of 40, you’ve probably already heard someone you know singing the praises of “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2,” the action-shooter-sim where you run around and blow up stuff that looks incredibly lifelike.
“By all indicators, we anticipate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be the biggest entertainment launch of all time. As of today, the number of pre-order reservations we’ve taken for the game is the highest for any title we’ve ever sold in our 6,200 store network,” said Tony Bartel, executive vice president, merchandising and marketing, GameStop Corp. –money.CNN.com
Ironic that MW2’s success comes on the heels of the shootings in Orlando and Fort Hood. In fact, “Fort Hood” and “Modern Warefare 2″ have busted out incredible search numbers in the last week. I can hear the angry mothers screaming already.
It’s not everyday that someone that’s spent his life in front of a computer would encounter someone as badass as MMA’s Jason “Mayhem” Miller, but that’s what happened when Miller visited the campus of Electronic Arts to see his incarnation in their new MMA game. And of course, like any other athlete, Miller voices his displeasure. But this is different when it’s coming from a guy that can literally jam a laptop up your ass sideways. And then it turns out that he was only kidding. Yeah, isn’t that hilarious? We were almost murdered at work! I can’t wait to tell the guys in my Magic: The Gathering club. Whatever, dude. Thanks, Sharebro Robert.
If you’ve grown weary of the prudishness of your Nintendo Wii, enjoy poker, and don’t live in Australia, then this news is for you.
Wii’s “Sexy Poker” is a downloadable game that lets you play Texas Hold’em and Blackjack against a dealer in an attempt to de-clothe anime babes.
Yep. Use those motion censors remotes to hit, stand, bet … and then reap the benefits of a bikini-wearing animated character. The game features no nudity, which is a good thing for me, bad thing for weirdoes. via.
I’ve never been a big fan of taking something that guys already like and mashing nudity into it. Women are supposed to get naked to make me do stuff that I don’t want to do. And I mean like actual women, not some vector image drawn up by some sexually frustrated dude in Tokyo. I already like poker, so the nudity doesn’t do me any good there. Wake me up when “Wii Sexy Personal Finance” comes out. Because right now my stock portfolio is a hot mess.
Law enforcement officers from a multi-department task force in Polk County (FL) were caught on camera playing video games during a drug raid.
Detectives from the Sheriff’s office, Winter Haven, Auburndale and Lakeland police department’s all participated in the raid, and all caught on camera. [...]
Records show 16 detectives spent 9 hours searching Difalco’s property, the cost to taxpayers $4,000.[...]
[Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd] “It’s an embarrassment to the detectives involved and its an embarrassment to the organization but you know what we employee 1800 people and not one of them is perfect we all make mistakes. They made a mistake.” via.
What’s the big deal? They’re just people goofing off at work in the midst of gathering evidence for a fruitless war on drugs. Funny how the most addictive thing in that house apparently was the Nintendo Wii. Seriously, I could play Wii Bowling all day. That thing is like crack. UPDATE: Deadspin has the video.
