Virtual Essentials: Games You Need

And let's wrap with a quick synopsis. We've given thumbs-ups to an awful lot of games, but all those green thumbs could be slightly intimidating for those just beginning their journey down the glorious road of retrogaming. If you need a good starting point, we can't recommend the following games enough. Sure, any "Worth It!" game is a guaranteed good time, but these are the true classics that any gamer needs to have experienced.

* ActRaiser: Half action, half sim, all awesome -- this Super NES classic is both creative and challenging.
* Bonk's Revenge: Miles beyond its more famous predecessor, Bonk's second outing is an exceptional platformer that showcases the TurboGrafx-16's graphical and audio prowess.
* The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past: Every Zelda game in the past decade has simply been a refinement of the great ideas established here. A masterpiece.
* Gunstar Heroes: The first (and arguably best) game by legendary development house Treasure, this game pushes the limits of the Genesis -- and the limits of your skills, too.
* Paper Mario: The second Mario RPG ushered in a new era for Nintendo's mascot -- an era of inventive gameplay and cheeky self-awareness.
* Sin & Punishment: Choke back that bile -- the premium price this game commands is worth it. A blazing, challenging N64 shooter by Treasure, Virtual Console marks its American debut. Get it while you can!
* Soldier Blade: Virtual Console is host to a hell of a lot of top-down shooters, but Soldier Blade just might be the best. (Super Star Soldier and Blazing Lazers are worthy alternates.)
* Streets of Rage 2: With great graphics, awesome music and spot-on gameplay, the second Streets of Rage is the best brawler on VC -- and one of the best ever, period.
* Super Mario Bros. 3: There's a good reason this is the best-selling stand-alone game of all time: because it's pretty much perfect.
* Super Metroid: A gorgeous, atmospheric adventure with an engrossing world, Super Metroid tells a very cool story entirely through gameplay. A classic.
* Tecmo Bowl: Licensing concerns stripped real names from the VC version of this timeless football game, but the fundamental action is as entertaining as ever.
* Wonder Boy in Monster World: Despite its complex history, there's nothing confusing about this game's merits: it's a clever, substantial adventure with excellent gameplay.

I don't think I showed you guys these...

I had some story boards drawn for a couple of scenes from Future Spence.

Pictures of Food I Have Been Cooking!

jk! Look at this photo of matt belting out the last verse of the star spangled banner at this year's world series. He had the crowd on its feet the moment everyone caught a glimpse of his deep v-neck T.

in other news eric ripert tasted my ratatouille and didn't kick me in the balls afterward (translation = 4-star ratatouille everybody!)

keep sexy,

New Feature

I added a new section on the side for upcoming events. You can click the links for more details. If you want me to add something to the list I will, or you can do it yourself. Also, this means I won't keep posts on top anymore. Everyone's a winner!

CD Party 07: The Reckoning

The shoddy animated GIF says it all, really; CD Party 07 is nearly upon us!

All blog contributors, among others, are invited to the annual, year-end, top 20 song cd party at my place the 21st of December. I'm throwing this out so early so that I can catch everyone before they've made plans and also to accomodate as many of the Westford returnees as possible. So if you can't make it on that date, let me know in the comments.

Everyone here should know the gist of it by now, but I'll spell out the rules of engagement just in case:

• You compile your favorite 20 songs of 2007 onto a cd. These 20 songs can be either singles from this year, album tracks from this year, or any song that you listened to in the previous year (if you can't be arsed with finding when songs were released/don't care).
• Make as many copies of the cd as there will be guests. That number will be posted prior to the party.
• You show up to the party and dance in the kitchen to songs about cats.

I'll follow this up with an email in a week or so to make sure that I've got the rest of gang who don't post here (Tina, Dunc, others). But in the meantime, start paring that list down because the reckoning is nearly upon us.

PS. If I can figure out how to keep this post on top for a while I will, so keep scrolling down in case I did it so that you don't miss Scott's links to cnn.com and Matt's recently missing poetry.

Back to our regularly scheduled projamming.

We Sailed Away on a Winter's Day

So, I've been on a Joanna Newsom kick lately. For some reason I just associate the music with fall/winter. I don't know why, but it is pretty great walking around the city music. I walked from Southie to Fenway last night listening to Milk-Eyed Meander.

Well, on Pitchfork this morning they posted a pretty kewl video that some fanboy made for Bridges and Balloons. Check it out. Unfortunately there are n0 light sabers and death stars.

it's all true.

School board ad.

So this guy was running for a seat on his local school board. For some reason, he lost.

Never. Never Ever. No matter what, never...

NSFW.

Really, not safe for life. No matter what you here. No matter what you're told. Never. Never ever. No matter what. Never go to a website that, when spelled out, is called, two girls one cup dot com. Seriously. Do not do it.

You might throw up. Do not listen to that friend of yours that tries to trick you into looking at it. Or challenges you to sit through it. It is not worth it. You will die inside. Not a little, I mean entirely.

Yup. Said website... conclusive proof there is no god.

Fatboy Dance

As I'm sure everyone knows, I can't get enough of youtube videos with people dancing in parking lots or living rooms. This is one of those videos.



I'm sure I'll find more and post em up real soon (since I think I've subjected everybody to the Crank Dat and Chicken Noodle Soup dances).

REAL TALK

I'm here to bring an end to the R Kelly drought that has been ripping our friends and families apart! I present REAL TALK! This shit is serious. Its a one side of a conversation that the Kellz is having with either his wife or his girlfriend or god. Also, the talk is completely real and SERIOUS.

Careful Chuey!

Did you know that yesterday was Halloween?

Boo!

Here are the pumpkins Amber and I carved, in that order:



I don't have the time or inclination to rotate my pumpkin picture, so you should probably just rotate your monitor. I know Ashley and Matt got pumpkins, so I want to see em.

And here's the dinner I made for my parents and my nana yesterday:



The picture isn't great, but it shows the spookiest mashed potatoes ever, to go with some surf and/or turf. Wouldn't it be neat if Dan posted pictures of what he's cooking? Or if he posted on the blog? Or if he responded to emails? He starts working for a celebrity chef and doesn't have time for the little people anymore. Or maybe he doesn't have internet.
