I came across this awesome set of Street Fighter II sound clips. If you are in a retro type of mood, check the sound clips out, Street Fighter II Sound Clips.

Meet this normal 33 year old man living in America with First-Person Shooter Disease. A not so well known disease that has its drawbacks. Uunnggghhhaunngggaaaahhh!

Either these kids are really good friends, or the kid being a chair just got bullied. The kid playing is pretty resourceful though.

Check out sqdge playing the Tetris theme song during a church service. Apparently people did not get mad, and people clap at the end. I doubt they even knew what he was playing.

Check out these French pranksters pulling off a real life Pacman prank around town. Whenever you mix stuck up golfers with pranks, the outcome is always hilarious. That club to the back of the leg must have been painful.

Thornhill said, “I was going to put it away and I felt a lump on the front cover. Inside the instruction booklet was a ball of Shrinkwrap, or Clingfilm. I thought it was just a ball of clingfilm, but then I realized there were tablets inside. I instantly felt sick. They had Mitsubishi signs on them, which I recalled meant they were ecstasy pills. I wasn’t 100% sure though, so I checked online and sure enough I was right – it was ecstasy.”

The authorities eventually got involved and collected the pills.

A Gamestation spokesman said: “We have rigorous procedures for accepting pre-owned titles and checking them before they are put back on sale. We have launched an investigation and will work closely with Cheltenham police to find out what happened.”

I find it funny that the father actually recognized what a “Mitsubishi” sign meant.

20-year-old gamer Matthew Pyke, and avid Advance Wars fan, was found dead in his Nottingham apartment last Friday.  Pyke and his girlfriend, Joanna Witton, were both fans of the Nintendo game, and ran a strategy-based website.

Witton found Pyke’s lifeless body stabbed in their home.  There were no signs of forced entry, but days after his body was found, a German gamer calling himself David Heiss sent a message to Mr Pyke’s girlfriend apologising for “having caused so much trouble lately”.

“One anonymous poster on the site forum suggested that other members may have known who was behind the killing. “We may know a lot of what was going on prior to the killing, but I, for one, am not going to say any more,” he said.

At 10.32pm on Tuesday Mr Heiss, from Limburg an der Lahn, near Frankfurt am Main, posted a message on Ms Witton’s Facebook page. “I will pray for you. You must be suffering unbelievable pain,” he wrote. “I’m sorry for having caused so much trouble lately. I hope you won’t lose all your hope. We will be there for you.””

Makes me wonder if there were ever psychos out there in online gaming plotting revenge after I pwned them.

EA is either tight on money, or is actually quite clever when it comes to its Spore marketing.  The company set up a 14″ x 6″ billboard in San Francisco’s Union Square.  Not quite the size for people walking by to see.  Except EA provided a means for you to see it.

There is a conveniently placed Spore telescope pointing up to the billboard, giving anyone one curious enough a chance to take a look.

Head over to Kataku for the pictures of the telescope and its location well away from said tiny billboard…Spore Gets World’s Tiniest Billboard, Requires Telescope To See
