C’mon, seriously, do some damned research
On the one hand, I love things like “10 worst” lists. They help me remember that other people out there hate things as much as I do.
On the other hand, if you’re going to write a Ten Worst DS Game list, you just need to read through the game list. I can tell this author didn’t. How?
Nowhere in his ten worst occurs Whack a Mole. Then again, IGN gives whack-a-mole a five, so I guess the stupid isn’t yet monopolized.

Turkish Star Trek Covers!
That’s right, it’s not a dub, it’s a cover. As in, they actually remade the entire episode themselves. Brace yourself for the lowest budget “The Man Trap” you’ve ever seen. Cardboard cutout people, transporters that look like macaroni beams, girls who aren’t even close to hot - it’s got it all.

A Different Take on Spiders and Drugs
It’s not the same as those pictures you already saw, even though it seems like it is. Watch it. You’ll see.

Dumbassed MSDN Tricks
Go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and search for wm_setposition . The suggested alternate is amusing.
Since When are Televisions Badasses
This piece of home electronics takes it like a champ and asks for more. Briefly.

Exclusive: Next-Gen Finished
Next-Gen has claimed that “senior industry sources” have told them that the world’s largest gaming convention, whose profits have just been going up every year, is suddenly over.
I’m calling bullshit. I think this is a tactic to raise traffic, that it’s a boldfaced lie (or a prank on a reporter who refuses to report rumor as something other than fact,) and that it’s a sign that Next-Gen has finally gone down the tubes.
I’m going to paste the link, rather than link it, because I don’t want most people visiting the page, but I want there to be posterity. http://next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3538&Itemid=2 Do not visit this page; it’s bullshit.
If Next-Gen doesn’t run a front-page screen-top apology for a month, their credibility has been shot to hell. ‘Course, it’s not like they’re worth reading anyway, given that they rate games starting at 8 of 10, have appalling grammar, and never admit to passing rumor off as news. (Sure, they’ve been caught doing it before, but saying E3 is over is a bit fucking much.)
E3 just started a network site, and accepted quite a bit of money to get people involved. If they shut down after that, they’re in for tremendous trouble. They provide massive marketing opportunities at comparatively low prices, make four to seven hundred dollars a head for a crowd of sixty thousand and have a massive impact on the direction of gaming.
I just don’t believe it. Cite your sources or go the fuck home. Next-Gen is nothing better than the Daily Sun.

My First Racist Spam!
Huhuhu. So, the spammers are trying a variety of different approaches to trick me into linking to their various crappy loan and penis drug and gambling pages. Today I got my first racist spam - a semi-coherent rant about how we need to use SEO internet marketing to combat Islamic terrorism. I’d cut and paste it, except Google’s already listing them at #1 or #2 for most of their keywords, and so that’d be just as bad.
Besides, it’s funny on principle of stupidity. The actual text is kind of anticlimactic. The end result? Spammers - who rise and fall on statistics - now believe the easiest way to trick Americans into listening without paying attention is to rant about terrorism.
And if politicians are any gauge, they’re dead right. </scary>
Training Games
Huhuhuh. Bumped into this thread on Neogaf while browsing around Wired blogs. Amusingly and amazingly, they managed to miss maybe the best training game, which is a shame, because Princess Peach looks like she’s just about ready for it in that picture.

Legend of Zelda: Quantum Quest
Buhuuhuhu. This is moderately awesome, but only if you’re a Zelda player. Otherwise, you’re totally not going to understand why this guy behaves the way he does.

Real Ninjas
Okay, I admit, I wouldn’t have expected to like an anime music video using Naruto. But, it seems I do. Go figure.
