This console is FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER, plays NES, SNES, Genesis. With HDMI.
As someone who has been itching to play through his old ass gaming collection lately, this console is fucking perfect. Sure, I could use an emulator, but I want to use the original controllers. On a television. So fuck yes, give me this ghastly blight on gaming creation. I need it.

Mutual Understanding: Episode VI: Return of the Plot Holes
Welcome to the inaugural Mutual Understanding. What I hope to accomplish with this column is just that, mutual understanding. I learned over doing a year of High 5s that I can be a very negative person when it comes to pop culture. So each week I will pick a topic that either I don’t understand and ask for clarity, or a topic that I know to be misunderstood and defend it. So hit the jump and get ready for a fight … or get ready to agree. You people are hard to gauge.
BROWN UNIVERSITY develops wireless remote for CONTROLLING ROBOTS with your brain. Game over, man.
It has been a fair amount of time since we commented on the Robopocalypse. Here we go. Brown fucking University has developed a remote that allows us to control robots with our dome-pieces. C’mon, Skynet. Just hijack that shit. We are asking for it.
VENUS hiding in SATURN’S MAJESTY is space swoon.
Oh, Venus. The planet is playing coy in this picture, hiding from us. Though, it does have some help with the majesty of Saturn in this picture’s forefront.
Rumor: ‘DEAD SPACE 4’ cancelled after third game’s sales. Well, f**k.
This one if a bit of a kick in the jimmy for me. Dead Space 3 sold its essence in exchange for an attempt at a money grab. After shearing off what made the franchise memorable in favor of attempting to accumulate every tired gaming mechanic into one bursting shell, the entire whorish endeavor was for nothing. Fuck, fuck, fuck. While I would rather see the series die than suffer its painful metamorphosis, I would also wish they had maintained their original vision for their conclusion. ‘Cause their selling out changed nothing.
Cosplay: DHALSIM got that stretchy blue swagger. Or not. Maybe not.
Here is some Dhalsim upside your head. Usually I correlate the character with an endless onslaught of fiery ass-whupping being laid on my ass by a friend. Now? Now I can sit back and not want to eat a controller just to spit the broken shards into a childhood friend’s soul.
‘IRON MAN 3’ THEATRICAL TRAILER: All that and a bag of EXTREMIS ARMOR.
Truth be told, I’m at work. Our wireless is horrid. I cannot watch this trailer. Throwing it up here until I can throw up with excitement later. Let me know what you think.
‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY’ is “95% in space”, can’t be worse than ‘GREEN LANTERN.’ Plus, Cap 2 news.
Goddamn! Guardians of the Galaxy is going to take place in space. Did you know that? Seems pretty obvious. Still, it strikes me as a bit of a risk. Expensive-ass space movie starring characters pretty much no one knows? Marvel is rolling their nuts around in the honey when it comes to Guardians of the Galaxy. The only question is whether they shall be glazed in glory, or if fire ants will latch onto their financial risk. Oh yeah! And did you know that Captain America 2: LOL You Didn’t Know Bucky Lives? is going to be a political thriller?
All that and more, within!
JOE MADUREIRA returning to Marvel in June. I can’t muster a f**k.
Joey Mad, childhood icon of mine, is returning to Marvel in June. This should be something resembling news to me. However, I can’t bring myself to even give a fuck on a nostalgic level. I just can’t. How about you children of the 1990s. Does this tickle your goods? I imagine just his name will be enough to drag many back onto the shelves. Not me though. No. I can’t.
HARRISON FORD has joined ‘ANCHORMAN 2.’ Interesting.
Harry Ford is going to be up in the Anchorman 2 house. I can get behind that. Here is hoping that whatever sort of preparation goes into this role involves finding some way to unmelt his face. Good lord, the guy sort of freaks me out these days.
