Scott Pilgrim Out on XLBA Yesterday, Contains Extra Content Codes


So yesterday marked the end of the long wait for XLBA to release their version of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.  And for $15, $5 more than the PSN version which was released 15 days earlier (I hope punching in my credit card number angrily on my keypad proved how mad I was at you, XBOX).

It’s an awesome game, with great throwbacks to games of old, including a “subspace highway” that includes “faulty code” on the screen, as if the game glitched out.  When you exit the game to return to the dashboard, it does this little blip thing—something I never would have thought of, but is totally reminiscent of NES games.  It makes me want to blow it (dear Bryan O’Malley…..)

The game even comes with “cheat” codes, entered at the start screen.  There’s zombie mode —- down, up, right, down, up, right, down, up, right, right, right then the punch button.  Boss Rush mode is unlocked using right, right, B, R1, right, right, B, R1.  

Now I want to try the Konami code.  I think I’m feeling, cough cough, ill.  I think I need to, cough, go home from work early.  Cough, cough cough.  Yeaaaaaa.

Balls, Bunnies, and BLLLLAAAAEEEE!!!!


Israeli lottery commercials recently paid an “homage” to Ubisoft’s delightfully brain dead Rabbids.  Not only are the lottery balls—or whatever—shaped the same and act mental-institute-crazy, but they even scream the same way the Rabbids did. How delightfully bat shit insane.

I have to admit though, that’s the same sound I make when my mind finally snaps after putting up with monstrous amounts of stupidity.  Can you really blame them?
