It’s fairly obvious by the above image that some of us at Kezins are not big fans of the insane ramblings of Zero Punctuation. Despite our lack of positive feelings for the videos, they seem to continue their popularity. The fact that nearly every episode of Zero Punctuation makes it to the front page of Digg.com certainly says that there’s a lot of people who continue to support the series. Hopefully no one takes this too seriously. We’re just poking fun at Yahtzee who seems to poke fun at all games. If you’ve never seen one of the crazy videos we’re talking about, here’s an example:
And you thought only games got remade. The above trailer should let you know that not only is the movie industry out of ideas, but it has taken yet another page out of gaming’s marketing plan.
”Fast and Furious” looks to give the original movie’s cast something to do after being out of (profitable) work for some time now.
The trailer is entertaining, though, and it makes us mildly interesting in the “film,” out next summer.
We write a ton of posts on Kezins.com, so it doesn’t take long for an article to work it’s way off the front page and into the abyss where some people may never find them. Because of this, we have decided to post links to our most popular articles from the week each Saturday. Some articles may be from long ago, yet still popular like Juan’s “7 Greatest Video Game Urban Legends”. If you’d like to see our all-time most popular posts, just click on Top Posts at the top menu.
The guys over at Latino Review were lucky enough to get their hands on the script for V: The Movie. I was six years old when the original mini-series aired on television and certainly remember how huge the event was. We’ve been waiting most of our lives for V: The Movie and it looks like we’re getting closer to seeing it. The 145 page script still has yet to find a company who will make the film, but we can only hope. Latino Review posted a nice summary of the script (spoilers included). Check out the story at the Latino Review.
Most of us noticed the “Why every guy should buy their girlfriend Wii Fit” video on the front page of Digg.com yesterday. It turns out that the supposedly home-made video was more than likely something that came from the Tinsley Advertising Company. The sleuths over at Shoemoney discovered that the video was probably part of a Nintendo viral marketing campaign. I’m sure the video still would have been popular had this been known, but it is a shady form of marketing.
The actual video is currently well over 8,000 Diggs and will probably reach 9,000 before the day is over. If we’ve learned anything from this, it’s the fact that viral YouTube marketing strategies are still extremely effective and powerful.
Do you like to punch people in the face? If so, EA’s Facebreaker may be the game for you. The following video shows off some of the intense and comical gameplay from the upcoming title. This game may be the boxing title that does for next-gen gaming what Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! did for old school gaming.
In an effort to increase the quality of videos on our site, we have decided to start uploading our video files to our page on Veoh.com. I think we can all agree that the quality is superior to YouTube. Hopefully, we’ll develop our own media player in the future, but for now we’ll stick to using 3rd party upload sites.
I’m sure GameStop has not even thought about taking pre-orders on God Of War III yet, so in comes Amazon.com to fulfill your pre-ordering needs. I wasn’t sure if the pre-order page was going to stay up so I provided a screenshot just as proof! If they do use that cover, it would be very plain for a GOW3 title.
Where would video game hype be these days without a little game inspired wallpaper for your desktop? I have skimmed through hundreds of cheesy wallpapers for GTA IV and finally found a site with some high quality ones worth downloading. 360 Style really came through this time with some great downloads. The sample sheet is located below. If you’d like to download some of them, check out their wallpaper page HERE! Personally I like them better than the ones Rockstar Games put out.
