Vuvuzela Hero

This video made my husband laugh so hard he had tears streaming down his face. But then again, this is the guy who’s been obsessed with all things vuvuzela since the World Cup started, and makes it a point to purposely annoy people with his Vuvuzela App. Via The Daily What. You may also like: […]

Mario Live Wallpaper for Android [zOMG!]

Here’s another one for my fellow Android fans: a Super Mario Live Wallpaper! If your phone runs Android 2.1 or higher, this FREE download allows you to mimic a non-interactive game right in the background of your phone. The game isn’t pre-recorded, but it’s not playable either; it is created on-the-fly using random level generators […]

How to Beat Super Mario 3 in 11 Minutes

I don’t care what anyone says. Super Mario Bros 3 is the best Mario game of all time, hands down. And while this instructional graphic takes some of the fun out of the game, it’s still pretty impressive to say the least. (Click to view large.) Via BuzzFeed.

Violinist Accompanies Mario in Real Time

Despite being slightly out of tune, this video featuring violinist Teppei Okada is nothing short of amazing. I only wish I can hire him to play sound effects whenever I play my video games.

Rock Band 3 Keyboard Revealed!

J and I love the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games. My preferred instrument is the drums, while J likes to rock it out on the guitar — on expert mode, no less. We always joke about how years down the road, J will turn into Randy Marsh (my favorite South Park character), and so […]

Wii Fit Should Have a “Pregnant” Option

I never really liked our country’s obsession with BMI for the obvious reasons: it doesn’t take into account your bone structure, muscle vs fat ratio, or fitness level. I’m probably biased against the BMI system because I have thick bones — my wrist circumference is 6″, which is in the thick range for my height. […]

Zombie Street Fighters

J and I have a thing for zombies. We love zombie flicks, zombie video games, and even zombie books (I personally think Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is overrated but believe World War Z to be one of the best books of the past decade). And we’re pretty sure that if there were ever to […]
