Quantcast



You all know that I am a huge Paul Robertson fan. So it's always great to come across new films by him. Hyper Parsnip Bitches is actually an old film of his from 2001 that I've never seen before. This film is similar to Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006 with the side scrolling action and  RPG elements such as Summons and leveling up. There are even enemies that look like Toad!

After the jump, Dtoider 13thDragon unfortunate and hilarious event with his recent destruction of his TV starts of Weekend Destructainment. Then a modder takes 1500 Xbox harddrives and makes a giant domino set. Next, there are SSSHHHAAARRRKKKS in Crysis!

Then, a song on on the old school videogames from 1983. Random Robot Intermission is next with a discussion on whether robots have too much power. A horrible Wii Fit ad ends this weeks Weekend Destructainement. 

13thDragon's T.V. broke recently. So now he has to play on this 5 inch T.V. I think I speak for all of us when I say, HAHA!

Hyper Parsnip Bitches may be my new favorite video ever.

Video 1: I probably understood less than half of what was said in this video, but I don't think I needed any more than that. Easily one of the most inspiring pieces of sheer genius I have ever witnessed on this site, or anywhere. If they made Pokemon with the moves Ultra Wombat Tidal Wave and Cuttlefish Apocalypse, I would definitely pick it up again. I'm not sure how the rest of these videos can compare, but we'll see.

Video 2: I don't think I've ever thought of any consumer electronics as "cute" before, but I suppose there's a first time for everything. Good use of lighting in the video as well.

Video 3: Are those 360 harddrives, or were those pried from the behemoth that was the original Xbox? If the former, then an alternate solution would be to display a modicum of intelligence and Ebay that shit. Unless they're bricked. In which case domino away. Also, I found the shadow of the camera man creeping along around 1:40 to be fairly amusing.

Video 4: Too bad nobody can afford to see those high-end shark graphics.

Video 5: I developed a twitch during the first chorus, which developed into a full on seizure by the end.

Video 6: President Executron reminds me of HK-47.

[u]Revan:[/u] "You killed 104 people?!"
[u]HK 47:[/u] "Oh, it was nothing, Master. Most of them weren't expecting it, and I move very quickly."

Video 7: So... the purpose of the game is to... sit?


Nice job this week, CTZ. Above average videos, which is especially good considering the average is superb quality.

Paul Robertson should be hired to make Metal Slug 7. Just him. He should be paid one million dollars to make the game entirely by himself.

Also, Orange cat with Karnov fire breath for Brawl.

So the XBOX HDD is useless outside of the console?

G4 needs to ditch Code Monkeys and give Paul Robertson a ton of money to make exclusives :D

And also, I think game developers should study his videos, there are some really innovative side-scroller ideas in here, such as the attack animations and overall flow

...Are some of those enemies little Dwight Schrutes?

Also is it just me or did the shots of the arcades featuring DDR seem... out of place in that song? I mean it's only referencing classic games, as opposed to newer ones.
