The Whitest Kids U Know + Bowser from SMB2 = WIN
imbeta | 1:28 PM on 04.27.2008 24 comments


This very well could be a repost, but at this point - I do this for those of you who happen by and haven't yet enjoyed the glory that is - "The Tattoo Parlor"

Saw this vid a few months back, and found it very entertaining, so let's do the video now:

(leaving it smaller, cause the video isn't very good and the audio could be a little loud)

And so today, I am looking at some crazy tattoos online, just somehow ended up there - and then I found this beaut:



All I can say is that... Bowser from Super Mario Bros 2 looks freakin' sweet. Awesome tat.










p.s. - I am interested to see how many people can actually enjoy comedy without needing to state the obvious, and how Bowser is only on certain Mario Bros. titles... of which, SMB2 is NOT one of them. So... relax, just ENJOY.

Dear CAPCOM: I'm glad there is a ZERO, but just WHERE is BIOHAZARD 2???
imbeta | 9:06 PM on 04.25.2008 10 comments


I'm sorry guys, but... WTF?! C'mon. I'm glad that this game exists, don't get me wrong, but... I ALREADY played it and enjoyed it. I already have it. And it was excellent.



Your preference of this game or not is irrelevant at this point. Where the HELL is BIOHAZARD 2???

No, don't even show me this shit:

That was pure and transluscent bullshit. And so was #3.

Back in the day, when the Gamecube came out, it was pretty damn sweet - and the graphics, trust me, where amazing. And then people went over with X-Box & PS2 for the next several years as far as the hardcore games were concerned (Aside from the Nintendo brand classics, of course... or the other games that had ALREADY come out). My history lesson may be right or wrong or misdirected, but this is all irrelevant.

THIS came out for Gamecube. And control aside - this was AMAZING. Several years after the now shitty looking RE on the original Playstation came out, this little JEWEL comes out...


And then after enjoying the amazing graphics (for the time) and feel... that still holds up, all of us held our breath for the reincarnation of a masterpiece...



This piece of art came out in 1998... and it made me shit rainbows for weeks. The title is responsible for me being with the girl I am with now (well, that and a blow up mattress - it's not how you visualize it, but thanks for the vote of confidence anyhow) and I'd be lying to you if I said I wasn't dreaming of it being re-released on Gamecube.

And it did... but only kinda. I had already been pleasured and spoiled by a title like Resident Evil for Gamecube. Eventually ZERO came out... but when it came time to deliver to me. Nothing.

Now, cut to 10 years later... (hint-hint... Ten Year anniversary Capcom-motherfuckers) - and I get, what? A re-release of Resident Evil 0?! For the Wii... Seriously?! What the fuck?!! What about the SH_game-of-all-SH_games?! (arguably of course)

I can see re-releasing this almost immediately on the Wii... you need something to hold you over. I get it.



EVEN I felt it was a waste of time, we already had it - just recently on Gamecube and it was EXCELLENT. Soo... I get it.

But where the hell is this?!


Even I would SQUINT and imagine I was playing RE2, just to survive the chills of good-graphics RE2 withdrawals.

Don't get me wrong, CAPCOM... I don't need it to be on the Wii.

Make mine a PS3 - Resident Evil 2... Oh My. I need to change my underwear. There's a leprechaun in my pants... and fried gold.

PS3 MUSIC while you do "YOUR THING"
imbeta | 11:29 PM on 03.20.2008 8 comments


Ok... ENOUGH.

I've heard ENOUGH complaining about you being apparently UNABLE to listen to your MUSIC while you browse the PS3's system browser.

YES you can... while enjoying you music... press the PS logo button. Voila - you're back in the game. Browse your pictures away or do whatever it is you want to do. Maybe write a a letter.

cheers,

- IM

Here, a video for your troubles.

Watch this ONLY when and IF you're *HIGH*
imbeta | 10:39 PM on 03.13.2008 13 comments


Between now and tomorrow... there's me enjoying myself to some smoke and a nice downloaded AVI movie. But before I jump on the couch, let's sit down and talk about my soon to be here PS3 and of course - watch a couple of funny videos.

Enjoy this video, preferably if you smoked some dope or sucked on a crack glass pipe - BEHOLD: CARTOON ALL-STARS TO THE RESCUE! An old-school vid actually FUNNIER than those hilarious abovetheinfluence commercials.

With an Introduction by none other than George Bush Sr. and Barbara of course.


Aaaah... HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa - Epic. Goodtimes, goodtimes.



My pretty-pretty sexy girl of a PS3 is finally coming back to me. You see, she stopped playing my discs and since I couldn't get nice and comfy to watch a BLU-RAY movie with her. I had to send her into the shop - that was almost 2 weeks ago.

Tomorrow, after them sending me the box, me returning the box with the PS3 in it and them looking over the machine (if at all) etc etc... and then sending it - just tonight it arrived back here in LA. By tomorrow night, I am certain I will be rocking some ROCK BAND.

I assume it will be a different console. I don't know - I'll check the serial. But who cares, it's a clone of my baby sexy-back PS3. It's after all, not her body... it's the things she does for you.

If you ever want to know how long it takes to get your PS3 back from PCE it takes 2 weeks. Well, slightly less. From the day you call: 12 DAYS

Suck it dry.



Mmmmm, yes.

Anybody Know This Game?! (Zombie Horror Arcade Shooter)
imbeta | 7:32 PM on 03.02.2008 14 comments


Alright guys, the time has come again for me to ask for your help... back in the klate 80s or early 90s, there was a game for the arcades.

It was a first person shooter, you know, with the gun? And in it was a city of the undead... zombies, I remember the one cinema while you weren't playing was you in an escalator, and in the distance they jump at you... you shoot at the zombie dogs jumping at you and the zombies as they get in front of you and you shoot them... sometimes they throw stuff at you, other wise they come at you.

Any ideas?

I wish I could post a video or image, but... I CANNOT remember what the name of the game might have been.

HELP!!!
