Anyone who actually visits our site knows that I am a huge fan of retro gaming and love the old school stuff. Don’t get me wrong, I love the new stuff too. There is just something about the old stuff that I can’t let go. Anyone picking up Ninja Gaiden for the DS this March or who is a fan of the series should read this little article here: Ninja Gaiden.

Who’s up for some 8-bit and 16-bit blankets? My super cool girlfriend just sent me this link to a flickr account with a whole bunch of ol’ skool gaming blankets (maybe I can talk her into buying me one).

Check out the rest of this gal’s work here: Sewing Punzie.

I’m going to look for some of her work that may be for sale. Who doesn’t want a Link or Megaman blankie?

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates on my part. Just got home and with the holidays around it’s been rough. When you work a shit retail job (like me) this is the busiest time of the year. I am working on a few articles and hoping to post them soon. Until then, check out part two of the AVGN’s Christmas Carol.

Angry Video Game Nerd

This guy is funny as hell.

One more post for the night. I am a huge fan of James Rolfe and his work. Especially his angry nerd stuff. He has posted a new holiday special here: Angry Video Game Nerd.

I have been watching this guys stuff for close to two years. Word of caution, if you are offended by poop humor or harsh language, the ‘Nerd’ is not for you. He is basically a guy who reviews crappy games (most of which, are from the Nintendo and Atari Era) and goes on and on about how horrible they are. Some people get tired of his constant swearing, but I actually find it quite funny.

While doing some searching for 8-bit gear and info I found this awesome Tie that I just couldn’t pass up without posting.

I definately want to order one of these, especially since I actually have to wear a tie for work.

8-Bit Tie

Since I am so into the whole nostalgic gaming thing. You know, with my whole series on it and the cool Nintendo Raps, I figured I should continue that trend.

So here it goes. A bunch of ol’ skool Nintendo commercials for your viewing pleasure.

A few of the commercials didn’t load, but most of them played just fine.

Old NES Commercials

Also, if you are an OS X user, like me, you can view MPEGS with this quicktime plugin: Perian 

Take a look at these videos and have fun discussing the old days in our Forums.
