classic gaming
one of my new favorite sites to waste time at...shmups! its a site for classic shoot'em-ups (shmups, duh), and i can't help but get nostalgic going thru some of the classics. and when i say classics, i mean classics of my era. i'm not talking about dinky atari or collecovision. we're in the sega genesis, snes, and dreamcast era. definitely a formative era of gaming. i was a big fan of the side-scrollers back when i had a sega genesis (1st gen too). thunderforce iii, gaiares, hellfire, and one of my all-time favorites to this day, musha, one of the best shooters...evar. i fucking hate that i sold my entire genesis collection. wtf was i thinking?!?! what makes it even more painful was that i used to enjoy taking out the box art and replacing it with my own hand-drawn versions...golden axe, altered beast, revenge of shinobi, streets of rage. god i wish i still had those. now all those memories are relegated to uploaded videos on youtube.
i'll admit, i shed a tear watching the intro and ending. *sniff*

prince of darkness
since im back on my addiction in a baaad way, i thought id post up this new commercial for the lich king, featuring the original prince of darkness...ozzy osbourne! its one of the better "whats your game" commercials theyve made, right up there with the original mr. t spot...that was all kinds of rock. other celebrities featured in the past included william shatner, verne troyer, and foreign spots with jean-claude van damme (lolz!) as well as a new one (alongside ozzy) with silvio dante.
"well maybe you're the one whos been riding a #?@! crazy train, but i've been the prince of darkness since 1979!"
