Slightly more than Deja Vu, here’s a list of the greatest games to mooch their way to glory.

On this Thursday, news actually happened. Yeah, I know. It’s weird and unusual, but today had substance!

1999 gave us the SEGA Dreamcast, Super Smash Bros. and our first look at the game that would single-handedly make a console a few years later.

This week’s collection of craziness is a bit thin, but I don’t care. Most of the w31rdness consists of videos, and a lot of the content this week has nothing to do with video games — but again, I don’t care. Why not?

Because the Red Wings are Stanley Cup Champions, bitches! This is t3h w31rd!

Amy Winehouse Signs Donkey Konga
I don’t know what is more odd about this: The fact that the young lad approached Amy Winehouse with a copy of Donkey Konga, the fact that Amy Winehouse actually signed the thing, or that the boy and the photographer didn’t run in fear of being mauled by a pterodactyl. Seriously, she looks like something from the cretaceous period that was frozen in glacier for 10,000 years.

Like Captain America (except he wasn’t a dinosaur or anything). No word yet as to whether she tried to freebase the congas.

Kidnapper with Epic License Place is Still a Kidnapper
If not for the fact that Morgan Douglas Jones was arrested on kidnapping charges for running away with a fourteen year-old girl he met on World of Warcraft, he and I would probably be friends — if for no other reason than that he had a vanity license place that said “OMGROFL”. But alas, he had to go and kidnap a 14 year-old and take her across state lines.

You see, Mr. Jones traveled from Birmingham, Alabama to Boise, Idaho to meet fourteen year-old Saddie Julian in person after the two had become close on World of Warcraft. After such a long trip you would expect Mr. Jones to want to sit down, plug in his laptop and go raiding, right? WRONG! Instead the two run off to Washington, where his aforementioned license plate was quickly identified by locals.

Oh well. At least he can rest assured that as the new guy he’ll be pulling lots of Aggro in prison.

Counter-Strike on a Calculator
Ever wonder what the greatest online FPS of all time would look like if it were on a calculator? …anyone? …no? No, neither did I. But somebody did, and what came of that curiousity is something that can only be described as awesome…

Obviously it’s a fake, but it looks pretty damn awesome, does it not? …no? …well… I thought it was cool, so piss off.

Forget Doctor Who, iamchris4life is a Fucking Time Lord!
If you haven’t watched the video on the homepage, I’m going to give you one last chance to watch the first ever documented case of a Guitar Hero III player scoring a perfect 100% on Dragonforce’s “Through the Fire and Flames” on expert. Enjoy:

…holy shit. That man is a fucking warlock, wielding dark magics to manipulate the game to his very will! For that feat of Godhood, you sir get this week’s…

Now… I have seen a lot of comments on many a community saying that this cat has no life, that he needs a girlfriend, that he plays too much, etc. To those of you who say such things, I have but one question: Why can’t anybody just be fucking good anymore?

“Those Aren’t Muskets!”
You may or may not know this, but both Mike and I are Trekkies. I know… shocking. This isn’t the official “non-gaming w31rdness” for the week, but you know what?

Sometimes you just have to do things for you. This has been one of those times — now to the official…

n0n-g@m1ng w31rdn3ss:
“Jesus: Healer, Preacher… Carpenter”
You may not know this, but the Vatican edited out certain parts of the Bible. I’m pretty sure this never found its way into the actual book… come to think of it… there isn’t too much about Jesus, a supposed carpenter, ever actually… you know… building anything… curious.

If you haven’t heard of The Delusionists, check out their YouTube page. They’re bloody hilarious.

And finally…

A History of Canceled Games
If you are new to the gaming scene and are wanting to get learned, watch this video that showcases some of most hyped games that, unfortunately, never saw completion. Yes, dudes and dolls — here is a brief history of canceled games:

Sixtos805 would be getting a lager, but he didn’t perfect Dragonforce, now did he?

See y’all next week!

VIDEO: The video on the homepage is of the perfect Dragonforce score (again, it’s seriously awesome)
NOTE 2.0: This week’s image is courtesy of The Onion, and is entitled “Evil Red Wings Owner Wario Lemieux Steals Stanley Cup”

GameTrailers TV had a new episode last night, centered around Valve, with lots of good little bits of news and coverage concerning Counter-Strike 2, Portal 2, Team Fortress 2, and more.
