Child-Porn or Nintendo Model? You Decide.

Yes, well. That title should get lot of hits.

Anyway, I was looking around the interwebs for some interesting retro garbage to post and I stumbled on this article over at Kotaku.com.

The article is written by someone who clearly is in love with the model featured, but if you’re caught reading the article at work you may be accused of perusing child porn.

The now 19-Year-Old is hailed in the article as the “Retro Gamings Greatest Pin Up Model” first tripped Kotaku’s trigger back in January of 2007. I’d take the 35-Year-Old Heidi Klum over this girl any day.

Quick, Robin! To The Vomitorium!

Apparently, the new game “Mirror’s Edge” by EA is creating quite the stir… in people’s stomachs.  According to this article Mirror’s Edge, a game set in a distopian future with a Snowcrash-like plot is a first person video game where you (as the courier) are frequently attempting to outrun “the man”.

As Faith, the courier, you only see your legs, arms, and torso on screen. Mirror’s Edge differs from the standard first-person video games allowing for a full range of motion.  The player can maneuver freely with moves like somersaults,  shimmying across ledges, sliding under low objects and running up walls. Additionally, the game is brightly colored and realistic.

Evidently this new free-range of motion style action is so fast paced it’s making people literally sick. Cases of vomiting have been reported.

High Speed Fiber

It’s okay to ignore the poop part of this… focus on the smaller marquee below the main marquee. Yep, Tron is showing at the Uptown theater on Saturday at midnight hosted by Tron Guy.
