NSFW, Flash animation about upcoming nerfs to Street Fighter Abel. A bit repetitive but the ending is hilarious.

I thought about posting this in Idiot of the Day, but it's just too comical.

For Pokemon players, you can get these three special gerbils at Gamestop this month. They also unlock something when transferred to Black and White.

Also, they are *finally* releasing Celebi. Also at Gamestop, from Feb 27th to March 7th. This Celebi unlocks things in HeartGold/SoulSilver and in Black and White. This is also rather momentous, for it's the first wide release of Celebi ever in the U.S. (previous time was only at a few mall locations). About fucking time.

Extra Credits is well worth watching every week, I highly reccomend hitting up the archive. It is sometimes a bit overly idealistic, but worth a look.

Jason Bateman, Alyssa Milano and the guy from "Mr. Belvedere" perform Super Mario Bros. On Ice. I am not joking about any of that.

Put your dirty love in a ball
and bounce it off me
Push me up against the dirty wall
and squeeze it out of me
My stance is too wide for that stall
Are you gonna out me?
Put your dirty love in a ball

Quoted for truth.

I like EC's idealistic slant. It reminds me why I love this medium despite how often we get flack. I feel like if -this- was the kind of show we had on TV to represent ourselves instead of like... X-Play, we might actually be able to convince companies to make more quality games.

Also, you can tell the writer and presenter are teachers. I wish I had teachers like this growing up.

I remember stories about that kind of thing like..four years ago. Except it was American. (Some university research project). If Sega's getting into it, it's probably going mainstream/mass-market.

Anthony Edward Stark · « **Reply #18 on:** January 13, 2011, 03:47:29 AM »

Or it is already mass market and Sega is the first to adapt it to a non Japanese pornography market.

Regardless it is drastically going to shift the number of gamers towards males if it gets a big install base unless they include some peripherals.

Hmm...only in the same sense that the currently largest "gamer" demographic is statistically 35-50 year old females.

I would expect hardcore gamers to take urinal games less seriously than they take internet flash games.

That is a statistic that I am fine with. That is the exact target demographic we need to get gaming to cut down on the soccer mums freaking out over oh my god video games.

Also hardcore gamers will take the urinal games seriously as soon as it gives you unlocks in their regular games or it has achievement points and at this point in time both of these things are inevitable. I am fully expecting official CoD5 urinals.

Given that CoD7 was recently released, I wouldn't hold your breath for CoD5 urinals.

And acceptance of all videogames due to playing Flash games is no more automatic than acceptance of videogames because you play card games like hearts, bridge, and cribbage (among the online videogames counted for that study are, yes: hearts, bridge, and cribbage). Much the same way if you went to an American book burning, you probably won't find people burning The Bible. Harry Potter, though? That's witchcraft: burn it!

The moral of this story is: "kids these days! We need to burn all their stuff!"
