Invincible Speed Demos

I had fun today finishing this little video and while I'm excited to post it on the internet I have a sinking feeling I've made fun of more than one of these mashup things before. Regardless, the end pays off for me so I hope someone else will enjoy it. Speed run footage from speeddemosarchive.com. Song titled "Invincible" by Muse. Put up the original format on filefront.
Edit: Also uploaded a Wii Photo Channel compatible version.

New SpiderMan3 Trailer! VENOM!!!

DANG DANG DANG DANG DANG!! May 4, 2007 I am at the movies! MAN that looks good!

Muse LiveChat

I'm not sure if it's actually live or not, but I was just cruising the web on my break at work and thought I'd look up Muse. Turns out there's some kind of live chat going on right now where the band members answer some rather strange questions from fans like "If there were a face off between chewbacca and David Hasslehoff, who would win?" So if you just happen to catch this post around 10:30 PST skip on over to theMuse website and check it out.

WE MUST DO THIS!!

This is absolutely insane! It is called the Smash Bros Black Hole. Rightly so!

Wii Camp Out?

There's a question you've got to ask yourself: You gonna camp out, punk? I want to! I finally have secured the cash required to get my Wii and I was curious who's gonna be kicking it at Toys 'R Us through the night? Please get back with me soon so we can work out when we're gonna go.

D-Pad :: Pwning Noob Blogs Across the Web

That's right, I heard the requests, nay, the cries for a new blog. Never you worry poor Divertissmentz (Wiivertissementz ?) goers, for your prayers have been answered with the new and not really improved blog created yours truly. It's name? D-Pad. Original? Maybe not. Awesome? Definitely. Also, it comes from Vox, a very neat and easy to use blog service. I think we can create our long desired Podcast with it, but I haven't quite figured it out yet, so give me a little time and we'll have our podcast up and going in no time. With Frank's help of course! And maybe some Chris', but only if they can behave and be constructive. *It can be hard sometimes, I know* =P Just kidding. Anyways, enjoy the new blog and let me know what you guys think. By the way, for those of you who have been desiring of one, there will be an "after the jump". *I LOVE YOU VOX!!* If you know what that is, you'll obviously be relieved we'll no longer have anymore incidents like that oh-so-annoying Zelda post we had a couple days ago. If you don't know what it is... well you'll just find out I guess. Enjoy!

Nintendo Owns Our Minds

The Indefinable Essence of Zelda is the name of the 1st Part of the 5th Volume of the Iwata Asks feature over at wii.nintendo.com. They're discussing exactly the same thing Austen and I were yesterday.

New Smash Bros: Brawl Footage

The Super Smash Bros: Brawl trailer was just released at Nintendo World Tour in Nagoya, Japan earlier today. There's no new character revealed other than what's already been seen, however the footage they do show is apparently in-game. Was that a destructable map I saw? Oh buddy you betcha! Not only that, but I really like how they're showing the combo moves and actual fighting as opposed to special CGI moves that don't actually happen in-game. Looks like most of the new players are really fast, especially metaknight. I'm assuming this might mean more twitch response which is great! Oh yeah, Enjoy the video! Sorry, I tried to find a GooTube video, but I couldn't find one and blogger won't let me put a Game Trailers script in, so you gotta visit the site. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Wiivertissementz: Hidden Awesome Videos at Wii.com

Iwata Asks is a little mentioned but info packed feature tucked away into the oddly redundant and less useful wii.nintendo.com that relayes a heart warming pow-wow between many of Nintendo's top creative minds. The latest part (linked to above) is the first time they've included videos to help explain just what they're talking about, and some of them are really interesting. Highlights include some stunning Wii Boxing action that looks far more intense than most would have imagined out of little boxing dolls and a video spotlighting the unique abilities granted to Wii Bowlers by the way of antics normally frowned upon by real world bowling alley proprietors. Keep it in your own lane people.

EBX to have Wii !!

It has been confirmed, EBX at Washington Square Mall will have their Wii kiosk up and running on Monday! You bet your socks and bottom dollar that I'll be utilizing my hour lunch at that kiosk. See all you guys there! Woo hoo! Fanboi FTW!!

Nintendo World Starts Tomorrow!

That's right guys! Nintendo exclusive expo in Nagoya, Japan. Very exciting stuff is going tomorrow. 88 new games will be shown at the expo 44 for the Wii and 44 for the DS. The list is immense and exciting to put it lightly. The most exciting of which *for this humble blogger, at least* is the new Super Smash Bros: Brawl footage. Rumor has that at the very least they will be showing one of the levels and actual character battles, and at the most they will be showing at least one new character. *As previously posted*

Other games that will be being showcased include Mario Party 8 (Wii), Pokemon Battle Revolution (Wii), Picross DS, Sim City DS, and Phoenix Wright 4(DS). Stay tuned for play by play Expo news!

Just watch...

Cheoptics360: The Future is here

I know Engadget already posted something about this, but this is stinking cool and deserves repeating. It seems a Danish team of scientists have put together a 4 sided transparent pyramid that will display 3d images. Now, given the video, I don't see any really convincing proof that they are showing actual 3D images and not just 2d images that you can see form 360*, but if they instituted some kind of angling alogorithim or something into the pyramid that would be cool. Difficult, I'm sure, but if they can make this thing I'm sure coming up with some code is within their capable grasp. Either way, the video is impressive and at least worth a look-see.

Zelda: Twilight Princess Wii Experience Vids

Alright, I'll admit that the idea of a new Zelda will get any fan tingling with excitement. And when we heard that Twilight Princess was being ported over to the Wii, that sounded cool. They showed us some neat "depth of sound" bits with the bow and arrow. But it was everyone's understanding *or at least my understanding* that the swordplay and most combat manuever would steal be a button mashing experience free for all just like all the other zelda games. But, it seems, this was *thankfully* an incorrect assumption. That's right, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess features sword swinging action and everything. You can even defend yourself with your shield with a flick of the nunchuck and everything! Much better than button mashing in my opinion. Combine that with the depth of sound stuff, the intuitive use of the bow and arrow and possibly the boomerang... Whew, I get flustered just thinking about it. The Wii just keeps on looking better and better everytime they release something more. Also , Nintendo just released the titles that will be coming out this year for the Wii. Which ones will be available at launch are still to be seen. The VC seem to be an obvious choice for launch titles as well as Zelda, other than that it's pretty much anyone's guess.
