Hey Man, Can't We All Just Get Along?
Seriously, Guys...Rashomon?!?!

A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.
- We posted a while back about that list of the 10 most important video games that some experts came up with. But the dude at Time's Nerdworld is just getting to it, and he has some interesting comments and additions to the list.
- Speaking of lists, the Onion AV Club has 22 TV Opening-Credit Sequences that Fit Their Shows Perfectly, complete with video clips. Apropos of Something is right, though; Firefly totally has to be on here. Man, we miss that show.
- What would Clerks be like if all the characters were played by Marvel superheroes? Let's answer that with a YouTube animated video, shall we? Even includes the inevitable cameo from Stan "The Man" Lee! (Via)
- Turn your own drawings and sound effects into a video game, without writing code. Looks pretty cool!
- Despite its recent poor ratings, Lost has been picked up for a fourth season. Meanwhile, the only other show we watch religiously, Battlestar Galactica, is now not only getting a fourth season, it's getting a bigger, juicier fourth season, with 22 episodes instead of 13, including a two-hour extended episode that will air in Q4 and be released on DVD later on. The third season ends this weekend, people! Hold onto your butts.
- Normally we run screaming from anything involving Jamie Kennedy, but this upcoming Fox comedy he's going to be in sounds pretty freaking hilarious. It's called Me & Lee? and in it, Kennedy plays a guy "with chronic back pain who gets more than he bargained for when he undergoes 'bionic' back surgery in a secret lab run by actor Lee Majors (playing himself) in the basement of his Beverly Hills mansion. Majors built the lab after becoming obsessed with bionics after Man went off the air." Seriously, that idea is brilliant. Here's hoping it translates into a good show.
- How about another list? C'mon, you know you love them. This one is The Top 7 PR Disasters of the video gaming world. Not surprising (although highly amusing to us) is the fact that Sony shows up on here twice, and even takes the top spot. Word. (Via)
More after the jump...
- A Chinese game company is offering to lift the bans on some players of one of its online games - if they give up their blood!! Seriously, if they donate a pint of blood, they're forgiven. It's actually kind of a cool idea, as apparently they're having trouble in China just now getting safe blood donors.
- The final Opera browser for the Wii is not coming out this month as originally planned; its release has been pushed back to April. Sigh.
- That ATHF game has been confirmed, now with the title Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am, which may be the greatest name for a video game ever. It will be an "epic, action-adventure combat golf, cart racing game." Oh, man, we can't wait for this thing. It's coming out this fall for the PS2.
- There's a giant theme park coming full of all the Marvel Comics characters! Unfortunately, it's not exactly going to be next door: they're building it in Dubai.
- The last Harry Potter book is going to be 784 pages long! Which makes it, actually, not the longest book of the series (that honor goes to Order of the Phoenix, with 870 pages). Cinematical wonders whether this means the book will be split into two movies?
- Hee hee. Watch this trailer for Magicians, an upcoming British comedy about two magicians who used to be the most successful duo in the business, until they had a falling out over the fact that, well, one of them decapitated the other's wife in a botched guillotine trick. D'oh! Now they're facing off against each other in a big magician's competition. Awesome. We love magician fights. (Via)
- Analysts say the Nintendo DS could soon be the best-selling entertainment platform ever. Woah!
- We know, movie-based video games suck. But these clips from the upcoming TMNT game showing off the turtles' special abilities are pretty sweet.
