Sometimes it’s quite difficult to come up with amusing and witty quips for these intros. Well, it is if you’re me, anyway. So, in the absence of comedy and wit, here are some suggestions for amusing accents that you can use whilst you read this week’s Press Start in your head:
-Stoic Japanese Samurai
-Hollering Redneck
-Swedish Chef
- Disgruntled Pierce Brosnan
- Aroused Patrick Stewart
Now, on with the video games.
You know how some people are still waiting for hoverboards? Well, in the same way I’m still waiting for Motoko Kusanagi-style cyborg shells. Not that I want to be a 400 pound metallic hottie, more that I just want a set of unstoppable bionic eyes that don’t crap out on me between my relentless cycle of monitors. Playing video games is tough. It burns. Join me…..
There’s something about Zelda that brings out the most beautiful cosplayers. I ain’t complaining! We have a new batch of quality Zelda cosplay, with a little Midna sprinkled in.
Hyrule Historia is an upcoming Legend of Zelda art book. It’s only been confirmed for a Japanese release, and that means unless you have the mad cheddah brah, you probably won’t be snagging it. Want a preview? A lil’ taste?
Hit the jump for two pages chronicling the evolution of Link and Zelda. Pretty swell.
Link to the Past. A safe go-to game when you feel like drunkenly debating what the best game of all time is with your friends. Dorkly has taken the classic game and imagined what it would be like with a fucking Portal gun. Answer: outstanding.
Hit the jump for the video.
Welcome to the future where everything and nothing makes sense. This latest confluence of geek is enough to make the tangible universe shudder. The collective geekgasm that this video induces is enough to flood the ocean fantastic with ephemeral geek juices. It’s Boba Fett. Playing Zelda’s “Lost Woods” theme. On an accordion. In a subway.
Some internet being is trying to sell a new-in-the-box set of Zelda dinnerware for upwards of $100,000. The uh, gorgeous set was released in 1989, and is apparently like totally rare. The description on the eBay page mentions that some of the uh, hopeful $100,000 will go to the Red Cross:
The box is in excellent condition with some wonderful artwork on the back. There is a sheet of plastic covering the window on the front of the box which is still completely intact with no tears! The set includes a plate, a cup and a bowl. I have looked all over the internet for this set, but I have only seen people with the pieces of the set and not the entire set all together in the original box.
This is really a rare find and it is likely that there is no other such set even complete together in existence still today. If you are a collector of Nintendo or Legend of Zelda items, this is a must have. It was made by Peter Pan and is officially licensed by Nintendo. I am going to put a donation on this auction too because if this is going to sell for what it should sell for, then I think part of that money should go to a charity.
Starting bid is at $15,000. Asking price is $100,000. I got $75, who wants to go halfsies? It’s for fucking charity, ya pricks!
Via.
