game-related lolz of some fashion

i'd back that kickstarter tbh

(xpost)

Aw, misread as a glance as 'VR Jet Set Willy', which would be neat (and probably still impossible).

When you die in VR Jet Set Willy, you die in real life.

the final minute of this w Donkey Kong losing his 1st place status is so funny

p much perfect. getting hit by the red shell after the blue shell already wrecked him is the true mario kart experience.

little milkshake duck warning here that you might wanna be careful how far back you dig into the dunkey catalog

Mario Kart is about learning to accept the blue shell with equanimity.

Ulysses- what's to worry about?

standard internet numbskullisms

Well there's some of that in the recent videos too, probably a lot less though.

While video game collecting is a popular hobby, video game art collecting is a more rarefied avocation. That’s probably because there are so few pieces to go around. There are thousands of copies of Battletoads In Battlemaniacs for the Super Nintendo, but only one original painting of its box artwork—and that’s owned by Dan, a 42-year-old accountant from Vancouver, British Columbia who’s been hunting down original game art for the last decade.

Recently, he posted a massive bounty for one of his holy grails—he’ll pay $100,000 for the original box art used on the NES game Contra. Yep, that’s five zeroes.

In an age before high-res digital art and Photoshop, the covers of game boxes were painted by hand and photographed for the box cover. The paintings had to be done larger than the final product, so the original art is usually around 18 by 24 inches, with larger examples going up to about 20 by 30 inches in size.

Dan, who asked Kotaku not to use his last name over privacy concerns, began as a garden-variety game collector, at one point amassing a near-complete set of games for the Nintendo Entertainment System that were still sealed in the original shrinkwrap. That all changed, he said, when he bought his first pieces of art.

Dan works with financial numbers for a living but doesn't know anything about how money works. Dan is an accountant in Vancouver who is concerned about his privacy but doesn't know how privacy works.

(ok, he probably has an idea about much he's overpaying for box art but has a passion for it and doesn't care how much he's getting ripped off. it's probably not right to say he doesn't know anything about how money works. sorry dan, all of this is totally normal)

Nintendo games seem to be a particularly popular option for counterfeit product makers; the chances of finding a whole host of knock-off goods from any car boot sale or eBay search is scarily high. While we don't always see how companies such as the 'Big N' deal with such matters, these recently rediscovered photos show what is possibly the best method we could ever imagine.

Enter the steamroller. Found by the archivists at Gamegeschiedenis, these images of counterfeit Nintendo products being crushed were reportedly taken in the Netherlands back in 1994. The photos featuring some lucky employee whose job was to go around stomping on the fake games in a Mario outfit stood out as a particular highlight to us, although that actually does seem like a good way to put across a strong message to potential fraudsters.

i had to google Steamed Hams the other day. it's a forgettable joke from the declining years of classic era Simpsons. no idea why it's a huge deal and a giant meme. people have a lot of time on their hands.
