These plushies were originally only available at this year’s Blizzcon, but Blizzard just put two of them up on the store today. Knowing the amount of WoW fans who weren’t able to attend Blizzcon, I would be willing to bet these will sell out within a short amount of time. So get them to sell before they show up on Ebay!

Japanese Michael Jackson impersonator, singing the Ponyo on the Cliff by the Sea theme song. Hilarity ensues.

Edit: Apparently I’ve been scooped! LOL, no matter, I like Kumo’s web site. You can see the comparison video on his blog post.

If you haven’t tried out Peggle and you don’t mind having a little bit of WoW flavor to your casual puzzle game, go out and download the game. Before you know it, you’ll be alt-tabbing to get one more shot in during those anime ending sequences in no time. And PopCap if I can make one more suggestion going forward? I know that Bjork is the Peggle mascot and all, but can you make his power more than just something you’d find in Puzzle Bobble?

Stumbled across on the Shoryuken forums, KOF aficionado Dandy J created two videos for beginners. It gives you a taste of the strategy and mind games you never thought existed in fighters.

Part 1

Part 2

This one particular level mod ascends to something so much more. It involves another autopilot Mario World level, but uses the sound effects that plays along with a medley of anime and game music. Not since Mario Paint has Mario been applied to such an amazing musical score. It comes in at a massive 10 minutes. See how many songs you can recognize without looking at the list.

To save you the trouble from clicking the video link, here's the picture of the robot chef.

Note: Reuters doesn’t allow video embedding, so poo poo on them.

Japanese robotics is progressing at an alarmingly scary rate. Just yesterday they revealed the life-sized Gundam mecha, which is scary (and cool) enough. But now, they’ve gone too far! They’ve now created Rosie the Robot Maid. Okay not really, but we’re getting there, and I’m scurred for my life! If it ever teams up with Microsoft’s HAL 9000, I’d be very weary of the meals it prepares for me.

If a frog invasion does occur, I better prepare my Gundam models.

If you think climate change is screwing up our world and our ecosystem, then maybe you should talk to the people of Ishikawa Prefecture. According to the Mainichi Daily News, tens, if not hundreds of tadpoles rained on the prefecture in the past week. No one knows why. Locals speculated it could be waterspouts sucking the tadpoles from an estuary and rained on parts of the prefecture. Scientists argue that it has been cloudy in the past week, which is not ideal for waterspouts to occur. Either way, this is a perfect opportunity for me to welcome our new frog overlord, Keroro Gunsou. Gerogerogero!

ZOMG! This is saucesome! I wonder if bailout money was given to Anaheim Electronics.

The massive 1:1 scale Gundam RX78 mecha (the original Gundam of the Universal Century timeline) in Odaiba is finally complete! Blog author, Punynari, who was on his last day in Japan, decides to check out the construction site of the Gundam mecha one more time. He was pleasantly surprised that the construction of the mammoth Gundam was complete. Visit his blog to see more detailed photos of this awesome project.

I just can’t get enough of these Miku Miku Dance videos. This one is very new and I just can’t pass this up. Here’s the K-On! opening theme song, “CAGAYAKE! Girls”, created in Miku Miku Dance -- Band Edition. This is the last K-On! video I’ll post for today… I promise!

Custom-made K-On! Nendoroid-like figures

Found in the depths of 2chan.net, these custom-made K-On! Nendoroid-like figures are nice, but it just makes me yearn for the real thing. Good Smile Company, get with it!

So, what do you do with that extra hour?

This is filed under the old adage, “two great tastes, tastes great together.” Someone from Nicovideo created a video mash-up, using a K-On! modified version of the Miku Miku Dance program and Seikan Hikou from Macross Frontier. What we have here is an awesome music video. Enjoy!

Check out this video of two indie hip-hop artists playin’ a little dirty dozen. I’m not a huge hip-hop fan, but after hearing these two drop video game references in their flows, I may have to look them up on iTunes or something. Dumbfoundead, the dude on the left is especially creative and mellow in his freestyling lyrics compared to Tantrum, who seems like he’s having a temper tantrum, for lack of a better description.

In our 5th episode of the Unwound show, we’re going to cover our thoughts about Street Fighter IV and the Street Fighter universe. However I came across this today and felt it’s worth sharing to get everyone pumped up about the upcoming show.

Some of you may not remember way back when there were an over abundance of cartoons on the air that weren’t just all edited anime or stuff that’s supposed to look like anime. No we had it good with our Teenage Mutnant Ninja Turtle clones and horrible cartoons based off of video games. theswitcher takes these fond cartoon memories and combines it with the here and the now to bring you the music video monstrosity you see above.

Strangely, the theme Indestructible from Street Fighter IV is incredibly catchy and has become one of gaming’s guilty pleasures. Anyone else out there who wants to admit to this too? I can’t be the only one who’s loved one walked in on him while practicing dance moves to go along with the song.
