From the Pixies to Princess Peach, A Weekend Wrap-up
Posted: 04/30/2011
What’s going on? Well, how about a reminder that The Pixies were one of the first bands to cover video game music. Yeah, they covered the theme from the amazing, but not actually that great NARC in 1991. Now, I used to love some NARC, even though it was one of those Midway quarter vacuums, partly because it was so gloriously over-the-top, so excessively violent as things were in the 1980s. It’s really too bad about that 2005 NARC game…
While we’re looking back at the 80s, here’s a great walkthrough of a brand spanking new Chuck E. Cheese’s. I used to play the hell out of some 1943 at the location nearest my house.
Looking forward, it sure seems like we’re due for Soulcalibur V in a few weeks.
And are we really hotly anticipating the new Call of Duty: Black Ops expansion? Turns out we are! Not only does it have Freddy Krueger and Machete, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is in it too!
Oh, did you see this? :3
That’s the NSFW work of Bjørnar Frøyse, who turns in a beautifully rendered 16-year-old’s fantasy version of Princess Peach.
For a cold shower of a video, here’s a look at Valve’s snack set-up. Gabe’s a good guy.
Did you play Unpleasant Horse, the new game from Popcap spin-off 4th and Battery? Dude, it’s free on iTunes. C’mon.
And finally, here’s Gooteks and Mike Ross taking the new Mortal Kombat for a spin. Can’t wait to see some high level play of this game at EVO this year…
