Marcokarty's International Superstar Soccer Deluxe TAS

I love watching people break games. This tool-assisted glitchfest of the SNES International Superstar Soccer Deluxe replaces the referees with dogs that apparently can’t keep score and don’t take issue with players messing around behind the goals. If you like this, the mad scientists at TASVideos have plenty more.

Hemingway Editor

Since the beginning, I’ve been using this blog to improve my communication skills. I push myself to write clear and concise posts like I read on Reuters, TwistedSifter, Tiny Cartridge, and Daily Overview. I use Hemingway when it’s time to edit my thoughts down to a single paragraph. Hemingway highlights any parts that are hard to read so I can make sure the finished post still makes sense.

Hooray for self-demonstrating articles! My title text doesn't have the one paragraph limit and I don't normally run it through Hemingway. I tried Hemingway on this title text and it's Grade 6 (Good). It doesn't like adverbs like "normally".

Stan Freberg – St. George And The Dragonet

From 1951, this is St. George and the Dragonet. It’s a parody of the then-new TV show Dragnet…with a dragon. We salute you, Stan Freberg!

Stupjam – the “Tournament”

I found Stupjam on the leaderboards for Yumi’s Odd Odyssey/Sayonara Umihara Kawase on the 3DS. Stupjam has since moved on to other Nintendo stuff, taking runner up in the Splatoon Art Contest, and is now accepting commissions. Since this artist is on Tumblr, I’m trying out Tumblr’s oEmbed code. Hopefully it works for everyone. (Update: It doesn’t work in Feedly, but I can try adding Tumblr’s own embed code manually next time.)

UberNES - Nintendo Screen Saver

If you still use screen savers, Columbus-based developer M \ K Productions has a good one for you. Nintendo Saver 2015 fills your monitors with several NES games. Each one is actually a fully-functioning NES emulator playing a replay that was recorded in UberNES, and if you like, you can pick up a gamepad and take over control of one of the games on the spot. The recorded replays include my Super Mario Bros 3 playaround and a couple shorter videos showing glitches in Super Mario Bros 1 and Mega Man 2. If you like it, maybe I’ll record some more.

Wave – Meowvel vs Catcom Infurnite!

You came back! I realized while writing the PiNe post that my most recent artist post was this one, so I updated it in case anyone came back and looked. Since then, Marvel vs Capcom Infinite came out and Wave gave it the Meowvel treatment.

Happy Marvel vs Capcom Infinite day :)

Botchamania

Pro wrestling is good dumb fun, but it's hard work. It's easy for someone to do a move wrong, receive a move wrong, say something wrong, or have a table fail to cooperate. Those mistakes are called botches, and Botchamania is a highlight reel of botches. It's about the only wrestling I watch anymore.

Botchamania has to bounce around to different hosts due to copyright claims. Maffew's feed is the best way to get new Botchamanias as they're uploaded. If this video breaks, let me know and I'll find it again.

I like to keep this blog work safe, but Botchamania contains some NSFW language.

Fumio Ito – Rush a Difficulty 2006 Arrange Ver.

30-Day Video Game Music Challenge (Super Hard Mode) Day 20: Music from a racing game From OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast (Xbox, 2006)

OutRun 2 with Turbo OutRun music is a lot more fun than actually playing Turbo OutRun.

Automatic

Well, this is neat. For years, we’ve seen OBD-II scanners that can read Check Engine light codes from your car at home, but Automatic goes much further by working this into a smartphone app. Automatic constantly monitors your fuel consumption, speed, and trip data while you drive and offers up tips to improve your driving style and use less fuel. If it detects an accident, it can even call the authorities for you.

Introvert Signal

Sinfest is a web comic veteran with new newspaper-style comics almost every day since 2000. It's up to 4787 strips, or almost four 8-Bit Theaters. Sinfest covers topics that come up a lot on Facebook, so I'm sure you'll like it.

Maybe I’ll use one of the more religiously- or socially-challenging ones later. You know, standard Facebook fare.

Oh cool, you're reading the full blog post now. Here's a GIF I wanted to post, but I can't find who this is or where it came from.

UPDATE: After four and a half years, I've found the source! This comes from the 78th All Japan Costume Grand Prix from 2007, where this earned 3rd place.
