Nintendo not tired of ripping off Sega yet.

I just saw this and thought I would post it.

Come on...

...just admit how cool the Dreamcast is and that everything else is a cheap rip off.

The Lonely Island

I loved the Lonely Island when they were just three dudes trying to break into TV. Three really talented and funny writers and actors who KNOW how to make quality skit comedy.

Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone and Andy Samberg.

The Kablamo Video.

Now that they got onto SNL they got a chance to make a movie. It looks like it could really kick ass.

I wish they would have stayed in skit comedy though. I really think they could create another really awesome skit comedy show like The State. Instead I think that working with SNL has been slowing them down. Their own pilots are alot better than the stuff on SNL. Plus half the stuff they do doesn't even go on air, it just goes on the website as "digital shorts". What's interesting is that the "digital shorts" that do go on air is the BEST stuff on Saturday Night Live.
It's a shame that cool skits like "lazer cats" (lazer cats 2 link) are website only. Those are really solid skits that should be on the damn show. But I guess the mainstream likes crap over quality skit comedy.

Which brings us again to the movie. I think that this will be a project that will allow them to keep their own ideas unaltered and fresh. But the fact remains that they do their best work with shorter material.

It will be interesting to see if they can make this movie work. From the preview you can tell that it's gonna have some good spots.

Buy a damn Dreamcast already....

Ten excellent reasons to buy a Dreamcast.

http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/276976/10_reasons_to_buy_a_sega_dreamcast.html

Kick ass House of the Dead Item Guide.

This video shows some of the items you get in House of the Dead 2 original mode. Reading a walkthrough is one thing, actually seeing it is another.



Of course the items you get will not be the same. For example I have gotten different items like Rotten meat in the well on the first level with my Dreamcast disk. So the items are random. But harder saves (like saving the old man and woman in act 2) result in better items like the shotgun! So experiment.

But this video is SO kick asss.

I liked the the music.

New Dreamcast Game???

Pulled from Sega Nerds. A new game may or may not be released on the Dreamcast.

You can visit the game creators site to vote to have the game, Raiden IV, put on the undead console...

The game is yet another lovely looking shooter.

http://www.seganerds.com/2007/06/12/could-we-receive-yet-another-new-dreamcast-game/
Oh yes.

Sega you tried to pull the plug.

The gamers tried to kill you.

But it matters not...

The Undead Console Lives On...FOREVER.

Another Dreamcast video. NGE Rei Ayanami wtf?!!?

Dreamcast Game NGE Ayanami.

This is a Japanese release Dreamcast game about one of the female characters from Neo Genesis Evangelion. I guess it's one of those dating sim type games. I never understood why anyone would want to play games like that, but hey, different cultures and all. As shown in the video it came with it's own mouse and mousepad with an underage girl in a swimsuit on it...

(I am guessing that there was probably more than one Dreamcast mousepad with an underage girl in a swimsuit on it released in Japan, but this is the only one I have heard of)

Blue Stinger "Fan" video. No Comment.

I have no comment on this video...

Sonic just stands there...and watches you golf...

That's all he does...Just watches you golf...

And then he runs...and watches the ball go into the hole...

Sega...why?

Still busy.

I am tired.

So yeah. Still have not edited that video yet. However, I did not get a day off yet...and my downtime while not at work was somewhat stressful...

While taking a quick search at Youtube for Dreamcast vids I saw this:


At least he explained that Tony Hawk's 2 was the sequel to Tony Hawk's PS...I was really confused about that...

This has GOT to be one of the worst video blogs ever...The dude is looking away from the camera the whole damn time. He doesn't really "rant" or do anything interesting...and he only talks about 2 Dreamcast games. What the hell is the point???

Two of his key points that I found interesting:

"I love the Sports games" (I bet he does)

"Tony Hawk two is better because it's newer than Tony Hawk 1"

This encapsulates two of my main beliefs about gaming.

Number one: People that enjoy traditional sports games (i.e. Basketball/Football) ruin the industry.

Number two: People that think games are better just because they are newer are stupid.

So I guess this video does have a purpose. While I am sure he wanted to make a video that would show off his games and vast video game knowledge, what he really produced was concrete evidence that not all people that play Dreamcast games are cool, smart and interesting.

If I ever make a video this dull and crappy...I dunno. I just hope that never happens.

This video was almost at the point of "so bad it's good".

Captain S will save the day!

I have had a busy damn week and it's a long one...So really I got 8 more days until a day off...I have this afternoon pretty free though. I am gonna spend it sleeping. (and maybe try to edit that video game collection for the Dreamcast Junkyard, among other things.)

"The New Adventures of Captain S" is the online video series I have been watching lately. It's totally what I enjoy about small independent production!

If you are a Sega fan and haven't watched Captain S give it a shot. It starts slow but but keep with the episodes and you will be grateful you did...

It may only appeal to Amercians like me that had to put up with crappy shows like "Captain N" and "Saved by the Bell" in their youth, but hopefully the Sega humor will get some laughs from everyone...

Watch the newest "Filler Friday", it's great. Long live independent media production!!!!!

More! New! Dreamcast! Homebrew! Games!

Wow…I have run out of Panasonic CD-Rs. No, really. I have burned so much homebrew and PC-ports for the Dreamcast that I have gone through them all!!!

I just posted about the point and click game “Flight of the Amazon Queen” being hosted by DC Evolution…

And now I see that there are MORE Dreamcast .cdi’s out!!!!! Check them out!

Sonic Robo Blast 2!


http://www.dcevolution.net/hosted_srb2dc.php

Sonic Robo Blast 2 is a 3D fan game built on a heavily modified Doom engine. It still has bugs but is playable. You have to have a keyboard to go into the console mode to change settings and play a bonus game.

Feet of Fury - Preview

http://www.dcevolution.net/hosted_fof.php

Just a preview, but it’s still fun. You can also get swap disks for the real game and see if your ghetto modded or self made dance pad will work with the real game by downloading a test .cdi.

Defense Commander

http://www.dcevolution.net/hosted_defense.php

This seems more of a demo than a mini game. It might be worth a CD-R to download it though. Developed by Titanium Studios to show off some of the pretty particle effects the Dreamcast could do. So yeah. It’s up to you if this is worth it or not.

So damned busy!!!!! Here are some videos.

Well I still have not been able to edit that Dreamcast Junkyard video yet...

Ah well here are some videos!

Someone must have taken some inspiration from Gagaman(n)'s "Old Hat" Video...



And someone says you can emulate a Dreamcast on the Wii...if you already have a Dreamcast...Obvious fake...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pojzpwVILe8

I dunno. With all the cool stuff you can do why the hell would you do fake videos like this? People are f'ing stupid. Then I do a REAL Soul Calibur fishing video and some people on the Dreamcast message boards think it's fake...

...Stop rewarding stupid fake videos people!

I swear they should have levels of the internet that can only be accessed by people that aren't jerkwads...

New Classic Adventure Game Out For The Dreamcast!

A full CD audio version of the classic point and click "Flight of the Amazon Queen" is out for the Dreamcast!!!!!!

Go and burn the handy .CDI with the free program Bootdreams or the free demo version of diskjuggler!

Another victory for ScummVM!

Lack of updates..

Sorry for the lack of updates.

I have taped my Dreamcast collection video for the Dreamcast Junkyard and now I have to edit it...

Plus I have a 7 day week when I start my new job...I have no clue how it is going to work out.

Blargh!

Dreamcast Rap - Mega64 new link

Dreamcast Summer Games to begin in July. Get your suggestions in now.

Well when I first started the idea of the Dreamcast Summer Games I wanted to keep everything as simple as possible.

People would suggest events, compete in the ones they had the games for and post their results which would be posted on different blogs and such.

Someone even said they would make a website but I never heard back from them so yeah. People on the Internet always say they want to make grand complicated things but then after awhile they disappear. So that’s why I wanted to keep this dead simple.

Anyone with one of the Dreamcast games associated with the challenges could simply comment their results to a blog or email their results and their info would be posted along with everyone else’s.

If people wanted to take their individual results and arrange them by Country or Teams than that’s fine.

However, A lot of people have been trying to make this more complicated than it should be.

For example a number of the challenge ideas suggested involved FULLY completing RPGs like Skies or Arcadia or Shenmue.

I had in mind more simple challenges that only took like 15-30 minutes of gameplay. Or in some cases longer.

For example - making a new player in PSO and trying to get the best item (rated by amount of mensa sold for) within 30 minutes of play. This is a challenge anyone can do and a lot of people have the game disk. Of course someone who has played PSO will have an advantage, but a new player could also do well…

However, fully playing a game through is not a challenge I wanted to make. It would take too much time and with all the game guides out there ANYONE could FULLY beat any of these games.

My vision of “The Dreamcast Summer Games” is a short series of varied challenges that ANYONE with a Dreamcast and a few games can compete in and have fun. I want to include a wide variety of games including homebrew.

I also want to point out that people can still offer up challenges by posting comments to the Hunyak blog, the Dreamcast Junkyard blog or emailing me personally at

Dreamcastguy@hotmail.com

If you want to suggest a game PLEASE suggest a simple SHORT challenge to go with it! Do not just send me a list of games that you want included.

I have NOTHING to do with piracy. Do not ask me for pirated copies of games.

The OFFCIAL start of the Dreamcast Summer games is the first week in July. Exceptions will be made.

Challenges will be posted at the end of June.

This is only the first try. So I want to keep it simple.

Thanks.

Caleb

Computers aren't just for boring things!

Gamestop deal has ended for people that want cash.

Gamers of the US!

So you might remember that I got 30% more CASH for my games I traded in at Gamestop?

Remember when I said that the corporation would stop that soon?

Well they have already put an official end to it. Read here:


"Tiered Trade Offer 3,4,5 games for 10%,20%,30% bonus!

Trade in 3 games, get 10% extra credit, Trade in 4 games, get 20% extra credit, Trade in 5 or more games, get 30% extra trade-in credit!

Expires: 05/27/07. Offer not good on cash trades. Trades must be in full working condition to receive full value. Offer good towards games only. Cannot be combined with any other offer. Trade-ins subject to manager approval. See store associate for details. No dealers."

What a f'ing rip...

I totally called that. I knew that you were not going to get the cash deal for long before the corporate jerks got their due.

You still might have a chance of getting more cash money from your local store but with that paragraph I am sure they are cracking down...how lame.

I hate it when I call shit like that. Being right sucks when you are being pessimistic.

Another wistful Dreamcast video tribute

Another fan of the Dreamcast has made a nifty little tribute video.

A little better editing with the music would have been nice. Even with Movie Maker you can edit the sound cuts. Still a nice video that features the "Hello Kitty" Dreamcast and the Dreamcast fishing rod/Soul Calibur controller.



Never fear! For the Dreamcast is not dead! It is UNDEAD...

And one more soul has submitted to the undead console.
