Meet Jesus Christ With Super Mario! Creepy Church Alert.
I can’t tell if I think this is awesome, or horribly creepy. A little bit of both. I’ve been saying for a while now that church has gotten pretty fucking stale. If people want to bring some new souls to fucking salvation, they have to up their fucking game. Bishop Paul Ojeda has done just that. At the Austin Power House Church’s Wii Love Jesus event, he brought the righteous Nintendo thunder. Preaching in front of a backdrop replete with Super Mario imagery and Wiimotes, the zaniness doesn’t stop there. No sir. We also got “a guy running around dressed as Mario, kids doing trust falls and lots of fake Wii Remotes.”
Nothing says roping them in young and brainwashing them like using some classic kid-friendly imagery. Back in my day they just used closed doors, allures of candy, and the phrase “It’s going to tickle.”

Wesley Snipes Is Making A Video Game. From Jail.
Listen, the man who played Willie Mays Hayes will always have a pass in my book. Fucking classic. Not only that, but who hasn’t thought of Wesley Snipes as a visionary? I know I have. I also know you can’t keep a visionary down. Despite being in jail for tax evasion, Snipes is currently working on a video game. The game, which is called “Julius Styles: The International is being developed for iPhone and iPad, with an XBLA/PSN/Android release planned later. It’s based on the movie of the same name, which Snipes will be filming after his sentence is over in 2013.”
A Wesley Snipes led video game in development, which is then going to dovetail into a movie release after he’s free? I can’t think of any reason this isn’t going to blow our goddamn socks off.
Bulletstorm Disses Halo With Projectile Vomiting Diorama Video. Awesome.
Oh Bulletstorm. God I want this game. Their marketing campaign is fucking outstanding. There are the Bulletpoints bits they’ve been rolling out, and now there’s this. Remember those totally artsy Halo advertisements with the dioramas of the battlefield? Yeah, Bulletstorm and the gurus behind it take aim at those ads. With figurine projectile vomiting. It’s fucking amazing.

Steve Wiebe Loses Donkey Kong Record!…To A Plastic Surgeon?
And then there were three! Meet Hank Chien! The good sir was previously glossed over back in August, known as the “guy Billy Mitchell beat to reclaim the Donkey Kong score.” Apparently Chien isn’t messing around though, and he’s definitely fucking up my extended metaphors. If Steve Wiebe and Billy Mitchell are the video game world’s Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, who the fuck is Chien?
Well, it doesn’t matter.
‘Cause the dude has taken the throne from the two of them.
Marshawn Lynch’s Run Goes Super Mario Bros. Win! [Video.]
It’s easy to make geeks splooge. Just throw some Super Mario Bros. sounds into something seemingly ill-fitting, and we’re already at half-mast. Take for example Marshawn Lynch’s ridiculous run against the Saints on Saturday. It was already amazing. But throw some Mario sound effects as a soundtrack? Stop, boner time!

Cataclysm Is Fastest Selling PC Game Ever.
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is the fastest selling PC game of all time. If you’re willing to overlook the fact that it’s an expansion and not a full retail release. I am. The game it beat? Of course, its older brother, Wrath of the Lich King. Cataclysm has sold 4.7 million copies in a month.
A month!
In their article about the news, Kotaku has quotes Blizzard CEO Mike Morhaime jerking off, rightfully so, to the accomplishment:
We created thousands of new quests, introduced new lands to explore and extensively revamped the game world for World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, making it our biggest and most ambitious expansion yet.
[cont]
We’ve been floored by the community’s response so far, and we’d like to thank them for their continued passion and support for World of Warcraft, and for helping Cataclysm reach this incredible milestone.
I played a good seven hours of Cataclysm last night, so I think it’s obvious where I stand. Despite playing it sparsely over the past month due to school, the holidays, friends, and Black Ops, it’s a gorgeous product. Here’s hoping it doesn’t consume me entirely like past expansions.
Fan Made Power Helmet Is Fallout Porn.
My friend The Dude who regularly comments here is a complete fanboy for the Brotherhood of Steel. I think when/if he sees this helmet, the priapism that follows may actually be written into future editions of the Bible. This gorgeous Brotherhood power helmet courtesy of Josh Jay. Whenever the apocalypse hits, and believe me its soon, I’ll be heading to him for some fucking righteous armor. Now who got my plasma rifle?
Hit the jump for pictures of the power helmet. It’s sexy.
Want Zelda Dinnerware? Got $15,000? You’re In!
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.
Dude Huge And Bulletstorm Blow Out Your Ass. [Video.]
