Was it on purpose or an accident? Be amazed...

Heres a video showing the trailer for Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. First it plays it regularly then backwards. See if you can catch what song it is when reversed.

Did you hear it? ZEDLA'S LULLABY FROM OCARINA OF TIME! I didn't expect that, pretty insane. Heres the lullaby if you don't remember.

Cool little things like that are always cool to find out. Don't know if something that cool was an accident. Secret fanservice maybe. Did that put a smile on your day? Leave a comment below.

Axton has quickly moved up my list of favorite characters in BL2, his turret action skill is quite good on its own, but with the right skills and weapons you can do the work of two players by yourself.

First the Survival Tree, I'm not a big fan of this.

Build here: http://talent.87bazillion.com/2/commando.php?41030000005500010000055050130151

You can see the relative offensive weakness of this build at about 4:45 in the video I throw a turret on each side of a basic loader, and I still have to kill it myself. I don't recommend the turret without the rocket pods. :) If you had 3 more points you could get the Scorched Earth rocket pods too. So with the 11 levels coming April 2, that's what I'd suggest first. If I did this over, I'd probably go with the rockets over the longbow just for the damage boost, but mag-lock without longbow is not very useful and Battlefront (extra damage when the turret is out for all your guns and grenades) is just so damn useful that I can't really recommend either version of this build unless you get the level cap DLC and get all 3 this build falls apart.

Now the Guerilla tree, the fun starts to pick up.

This is a good damage build with decent survivability. It allows the turret to slag, which is useful and will be even better in the upcoming third play through. The turret also has rocket pods and a shield. As far as Axton himself, he gets to carry 5 extra grenades and his shield will be recharging quickly most of the time. This is a good build that will only get better with the 11 new levels, allowing you to either add longbow and battlefront or get the twin Gemini turrets. Very versatile.

Finally we get to Gunpowder. NUKE!

This build is a great all around build as well, you still get the rocket pods from Guerilla and a good amount of defense, but you get a ton of DPS both from your nuke turret (basically an awesome, rechargeable grenade) and the use of the Battlefront skill. You'll note the Kerblaster assault rifle in the video shoots a projectile that explodes, drops a grenade and explodes again. This works with all the grenade damage boost skills too so this is my current favorite high DPS build. With 11 more skill points you can reach the slag turret too (double up, at the bottom of Guerilla tree) which will make this build very useful for the third play through. Also, nuking things is fun. :)

I love Doujin fighters and not too many people talk about them. Here's my review of a game I've been playing for a couple of years; BigBangBeat. Maybe it will get some of you interested in doujin fighters.

If you aren't familiar with Doujin fighters, they are fan-made fighting games that for the most part you can download for free online. A lot of them are actually pretty good and some are turned into official games (Like Melty Blood). Unfortunately many doujin's don't work well or have sketchy fighting systems. I bring you my review of one of my favorites: BigBangBeat- 1st Impression. A PC game.

Deviant art user GENZOMAN is well known for his astonishing Warcraft pictures (one was even featured on the cover of GamePro Magazine)but he also has amazing Street Fighter pictures as well.

Had to share these as soon as I saw them. Definitely enjoying this art style more than most SF fanart. Besides SF and Warcraft, he has some anime and game related work. He also had loads of original stuff which is pretty awesome. Here is his Deviantart if you are interested. http://genzoman.deviantart.com/ He doesn't have a  specific Capcom/SF gallery  so the pics are scattered around his huge  gallery ; sorry if I missed anything. He does have tons of Elena pics though.

So which ones are your favorites? Necro and Maki looked extra awesome to me. Leave a comment on what you think.

FnJimmy is out of his mind and he looks it too. FnJimmy gives his takes on Nintendo and what they should offer. Right before the E3 2012 Press Conference.

Las Vegas, NV Fashion Show Mall - Halo Master Chief Launch

This is the second time we've been the Microsoft store in the Fashion Show Mall, right here, in good ole Las Vegas.  The first time was amazing 3 of us bought an Xbox One & Destiny that night.  It was an incredible deal too, we got an Xbox One & Destiny for less than $300 bucks.  Destiny turned to be worth $0 in the long run.  #sadface

So last night we were down there again.  It's Halo bruh ... I would say there were a few more people there for Halo than for Destiny.  The Microsoft Store had a DJ, an MC, Drinks, Gift bags, Raffles, Game Stations, Pro-Gamers & the Master Chief himself!
