so apparantly at one point in time, a video game version of dirty dancing existed. having watched this trailer for it, i am not convinced i will be doing anything dirty while playing it. lame.

nintendo revisited: pinball
written by daroff on 01/29/08 6 comments


i totally forgot how awesome this game is. this isn’t that lame pinbot, which my old neighbors used to have. this game is pinball, nintendo-style. where else can you get a royal flush, hatch chicken eggs, and help mario save the princess, all in one place?

that’s right, this pinball table has a secret level where mario bounced the pinball around until he freed the princess from her top-of-screen prison. in your face, every pinball table i’ve ever played at for real. i suck at real pinball, but video pinball is my obsession, and it started with this game. the only better video pinball game is that space pinball that comes with windows sometimes. you can’t go wrong with a game that features a 5,000,000 point combo.

written by daroff on 01/28/08 7 comments


how ridiculous, right? these are all parodies of an SNL sketch, which was parodying the OC. after asterios introduced me to these things, i can’t get enough of them. these five are pretty darned good.

the simpsons

happy gilmore

overtime super trivia sunday! the pirates of dark water
written by daroff on 01/27/08 5 comments


what memorable catch phrase from this show translating roughly to “oh my goodness” has been running through my head for ten years?

the first person to comment with the correct answer (limit one answer per person) will get their name in the hall of fame on the side bar and get to lord it over everyone. don’t be discouraged if someone else answers first; there’s a good chance that person is wrong.
