Caine’s Arcade gets Flashmobbed

I intended to post info about Mass Effect 3’s Resurgence pack today but I saw this video and thought it just HAD to be shown.

9 year old Caine Monroy, built an elaborate cardboard arcade inside his dad’s used auto parts store. Caine’s first Fun Pass customer helps organize the best day of his life.

I have to admit, it made me laugh and cry at the same time. The video explains everything. Watch it!

Now there’s some ingenuity for ya! Imagine what this kid could do with a formal education in engineering? What do you say we make that possible? Donations to raise money for Caine’s college fund are currently being accepted on CainesArcade.com

SMC: One Thing I Miss

Every once in awhile, I remember the expansive collection of games I have built up over the years and decide to try out one of the older ones. Recently I dusted off my old N64 and had a blast going through Star Fox 64. I still think Peppy is a senile old man and Falco is a grade A douche. After my adventures were done and Andross once again had his ass handed to him on a silver platter, I noticed something out of the corner of my eye hiding down in the bottom of the box. My old copy of GoldenEye. Read More »

Angry Birds: Space released today

Angry Birds Space

Spaaaaaaaace!!! Thanks to Portal 2’s Spaaaace Core, I will probably always over extend that word.

Angry Birds Space chimes in at $0.99 for the iPhone, iPod Touch, $3 on the iPad , $5 in the Mac App Store, and Windows users can buy the game directly from Rovio for $6 or check out a demo for free.

I’ve got the intro right here, (which also shows a new bird) and there’s a bit of gameplay in a previous post.
