Now, we at BITDS were very excited when we heard they were making a G.I.Joe movie. (Sadly, to be disappointed). When I heard they were making a movie about my favorite TV show growing up, the A-Team, I was very excited. I actually came up with a treatment in college. Now sit back and enjoy [...]

No, I’m not talking about how difficult some games are to play. I covered that in a post entitled, “10 Stupid-Hard NES Games: Then and Now.” I’m talking about the physical resilience of the cartridges themselves. The producer of this video aims to explore just that in a very interesting experiment.

Well, kiddies, this is the 3rd and final installment of the 10 Stupid-Hard NES Games list. Sorry it’s taken me so long to complete it. I’m sure there are plenty of other incredibly challenging NES games that I haven’t mentioned, but these 10 are the ultimate in 8-bit pain for me. Be sure to leave [...]

But it makes sense. The end of Back to the Future and the beginning of Back to the Future 2 are identical… almost. The actress who played Jennifer in the original (Claudia Wells) was replaced by Elisabeth Shue for the two sequels, and since that scene appears in both movies, they had to shoot it [...]

Today we continue with Part 2 of the 10 Stupid-Hard NES Games series in which I look back on some of the hardest NES games I’ve ever played. Then, and for no other reason than I just like abuse, I play them again and see how I fare against them today. Here are the next [...]

Today marks the 20th birthday of the Nintendo Game Boy. Technically, it wasn’t released in the US until August of 1989, but since the Game Boy was born in Japan, we’re celebrating on its original release date. To a lot of people, the Game Boy was just a means to get their Tetris fix, which [...]

Researchers at Yale have officially determined the statistical likelihood of finding the Princess in the NES classic, Super Mario Bros. According to the study, players only have a 12.5% chance of finding her, which means you’ll run into the dreaded mushroom retainers for the other 7 out of 8 times. The proof is on the [...]

Well okay, very nerdy. But also very awesome.
This graffiti of Link went up(and down) in Melbourne in 2006, but it’s new to me. Maybe it’s new to you, too. Another look:
Turns out it wasn’t actually spraypaint, but painted beer coasters that were taped to the wall. Does that still count as graffiti? [...]

Don’t bother calling yourself a serious gamer unless you know most of these quotes. That’s Syd Lexia’s charge, more or less, and he’s right. Any self-respecting gamer should be familiar with this kind of video game minutia. To quote Lexia, “we determine whether or not another human being is worthy of our attentions by testing [...]

Just something to help bear the wait for the next podcast, I think the above artwork speaks for itself. But if it doesn’t speak to you right away, give it a minute. Once you get it, the laughter will be impossible to suppress.
