A great penny arcade about getting a copy of puzzle quest warlords.

For the study, the team divided 22 students into two groups. One group played the action games “Call of Duty 2″ by Activision Blizzard Inc and Epic Games’ “Unreal Tournament 2004.” A second played Electronic Arts Inc’s “The Sims 2,” a game they said does not require as much hand-eye coordination. The two groups played 50 hours of their assigned games over the course of nine weeks. At the end of the training, the action game players showed an average of 43 percent improvement in their ability to discern close shades of gray, while the Sims players showed none. Bavelier found very practiced action gamers became 58 percent better at perceiving fine differences in contrast. “When people play action games, they’re changing the brain’s pathway responsible for visual processing. These games push the human visual system to the limits and the brain adapts to it,” Bavelier said in a statement. She said the findings show that action video-game training may be a useful complement to eye-correction techniques.

This is the original TV spot for the original zelda game. If you ask me its the weirdest commercial I have ever seen and my favorite part is where they show all the nes equipment all set out since I had, and still do, most of that stuff there.

This is a little off topic for me since most of my blogs here are video game based but I came across this video and at first the thought of a live action futurama sounded ridiculous but the more I watched it the more it grew on me. The only thing is it would have to be a really good story line for it to work. Heres the video, and remember it is a fake.

The good old days

Recently Thailand band GTA, after a 19 year old adult stole a taxi and knifed the driver then gave the police the excuse that he saw it on GTA and wanted to see if it was really that easy.

Well I say then we need to get rid of Super Mario too, heres why:

Excuses given that relate back to Mario Bros:

This one is a classic, Mike Tyson's Punch-out has a great classic prank for one of their codes. If you enter 800 422 2602 as a password to hear a busy signal. The funny part is that this was Nintendo's customer service line at the time. The fact that they would program this in even though it has no effect on the game shows a hilarious commentary on the state of Nintendo at the time.

While on my search to submit every game with cheats in it to the cheat code concept page I found the best code ever. It was for a NES game titled Goal! and it gets you into the semi finals, the cheat is, drum roll please, "ASSHOLEUBASTARDA". Remember all cheats that are in games are pre programmed by the makers of the game designed for testers but never removed in the final product. Just thought I would share that bit of information with you all.
