Cblog Recaps of 3/3/09 + Pendeltonisms

Wow, what a bitchin’ night. Earlier tonight, I saw, for the first time, Night of The Living Dead. While I had always heard great things about this movie, and knew about it’s cultural influence (all you RE fans should kiss Romero’s feet), I never had the opporitunity to see it. And, thank God, because tonight’s experience was the best: I watched it in a ACTUAL theater, surrounded by movie nerds, who thought the movie was as ridiculously awesome as I did. If you’ve never seen it, I HIGHLY recommend you see it. And, if you ever get the change to see it in a theater, please do so. Also, since this morning, I've had the battle music from Lost Odyssey stuck in my head, and it's made everything I did today that much more epic.

And with that behind us, on to the recaps! Tonight, we’ve got a great addition to the Monthly Musings blogs, opera virtuoso Topher Cantler, and 2 visits from our wonderful robot overlord.

I recapped the cblogs and I Jizzed. In. My pants.



*-Ok, wow (and perfect after the film I saw this evening); How the economic down-turn and RE/RE2 are very similar. Great job!

*-Fantastic new art from GrumpyTurtle, with the most awesome triceratops EVAR.

*-Sharpless has a great new blog (The Gentleman Gamer), and shows us an editorial from that site talking about all the hate Dante’s Inferno is getting.

*-My vote for a front-page Monthly Musings: reminiscing about the greatest gaming-comic series ever, Sonic the Hedgehog (and all spin-offs of said comics and cartoon shows).

*-What a great piece: Jonathan Holmes and his Wii bias blogs about why THIS is the best time for gamers.

*-And my second vote: Expanded universes within video games.

*-A great little series I’d like to point out here: The Obscurer Tribune, home of all off-beat gaming news.



A-A great little blog of pascuz46s favorite video game guns (hell yeah Sky Hammer Mortar!).

2 fantastic articles about the rise of digital distribution: one from Yukai[, and one from NihonTiger90

S-What megatron0016 has been doing this week…IN GAMING.

S-Dtoid Community Discusses: The good, the bad, and the ugly of Gaming Merchandise.

S-A neat new series looking at power-ups, Power Trip takes a look at the Contra Spread Shot.

S-Necros lists off all the games people completed in February 2009.

P-Failcast records tonight…FFFFFFFUUUUUUU



While searching for cool Night of The Living Dead videos, I came across this. So, so strange…




For all those that heard about this on Podtoid last week, Topher Cantler is a karaoke GOD:




N-A rumored COD: Modern Warfare 2 upgrade list.

N-Infinitestrike talks about how the BBFC called the racism claims in RE5 a “non-issue”.

V-One strange, goofy video in the vein of the Half-Life: Full Life Consequences videos.

R-A quick and painless review of a neat little game called Blush.

T-Why michiyoyoshiku refuses to buy another SNK-developed game…yeah…

T-blehman is confused as to why it took him so long to hop on the Bunout:Paradise bandwagon.



A-Faith, crafty one she is (LOL), makes Orlando from FF:Tactics out of perler beads!

A-A screenshot of the most awesome SNES-mash-up to not exist, Metroid 3: The Alien Wars.

F-Great new trailer for Terminator: Slava…HEY, WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING, STEPPING IN ON MY CBLOGS?!!? FUCK YOU!!!

S-Atlus gives away more cool shit, and lets garrison know about it.

S-Ah swag, delicious, delicious swag: MarkoPolo42 got GTA: Chinatown Wars fortune cookies in a cool box!



?-Though the dream is very odd, Wexx dreams the greatest idea in fighting game mash-up history.

?-Lol: Why are all new Will Smith movies shit? He doesn’t rap in them.

?-Neiro shows off what is probably a high-low-off lightswitch inside the new Dtoid helmet. Penises around the world stand at attention.

?-Niero also pops on to let us know about an avatar upgrade he’s performing tonight.



F-Some dong asking for blog content.

F-Follow Good Sir Sadistic’s advice, young man.

F-Diverse scares me in this blog, commenting with “LETS ALL TOUCH PENISES”.

F-…care to elaborate on your little picture here?

F-F$#& good Cblog writing I’m done with it,

Nice recaps, my friend. And that 3D Dtoid bot made out of perler beads is so badass.

Busy day! Thanks for the recap and the topsauce, sir. Lucky you got to see old school zombies on the big screen.

NOTLD is the grand daddy of all things zombie. Zombies were an obscure byproduct of voodoo mythology before Romero gave them the push into film.

Sure, other films had ghouls and zombie-esque creatures, but Romero nailed the slow, shambling, flesh eating, pyrophobic walking dead we see today.

Glad you got to see such a classic on a big screen. Next up is the 1970's Dawn of the Dead, then Day of the Dead. Enjoy man!

Saw Day of the Dead (God, that one guy is a GIANT DOUCHE, and poking zombies with sticks ftw), but, yeah, next up is DotD, since I've only seen the remake.

Only seen the remake of Dawn? You, sir, are in for a highly special treat. Although, I will say that the remake was much better than I expected. And Asia Argento with the double win of being ubersexy and having the familial tie to the franchise was a good choice.

There's a four-disc DVD boxset for the original Dawn that I can't recommend enough. Three versions of the film, each with a commentary track, tons of supplementary material (entire disc of documentary stuff!) Easily my favorite DVD boxset ever.

My favorite of the films is is still Day, though.

I have to second Garrison's comment about the awesomeness of that 3D perler bead Destructoid!

Night of the Living Dead is a great flick. The first one I actually saw of the "trilogy" was Day. I didn't find Dawn as memorable as the other two for some reason, maybe because I'd seen the remake first (although it's about as much of a remake of the first Dawn as Dead Rising is, in terms of elements it lifts from the original.)

Can I make the suggestion that you watch the Evil Dead series? Army of Darkness specifically. Anyway, great recaps.

You've never seen NotLD before that time? You penis.

But yeah, what Conrad said. Get the boxed set of DotD. It's pretty spiffy. Besides the movie out itself, I wonder if they plan on doing anything special for Blu-ray.

People, like me, who have seen the original then the remake think what a giant piece of crap it is. Oh sure Zack Snyder is an ok-guy, and the movie itself was decent but "running zombies" wtf!

Oh and Day of the Dead is a personal favorite of mine, mainly because of the gore. Too bad Romero went the generic route and does CGI for the gore in all his zombie movies now.
