What if It's A Small World featured the Children of the Damned?

This is quite possibly the scariest thing you may ever see. It's a nightmarish, copyright-infringing, Chinese amusement park knock-off It's A Small World ride. From the horribly dark, dimly-lit rooms, to the creepy, other-worldly version of the song, to the fact that the zombie-esque dolls don't move yet all look ready to jump into your boat and murder you, this ride-through is likely to affect you in deep and scarring ways. And the scariest part? THIS IS A REAL THING!

My All-Time Favorite Video Game Music

Presented not in order of preference, but in (roughly) chronological order. I think it's interesting to hear how much the music evolves with each video game console generation (each generation noted in this post with a different color border).

Bubbleman - Mega Man 2



The Moon - DuckTales



Cossack Stage 1-2 - Mega Man 4



Opening - Sim City



Life in the Mines - Donkey Kong Country



Dire, Dire Docks - Super Mario 64



Requiem for the Gods - Castlevania: Symphony of the Night



Dream of the Shore Near Another World - Chrono Cross



Gusty Garden Galaxy - Super Mario Galaxy



Red Carpet - World of Goo



Still Alive - Portal

Who you gonna call... in 1954?

An awesome fan-made trailer depicting what Ghostbusters could have looked like had it been made in 1954:



I think Dean Martin is perhaps a little too "cool" to play Ray, but Bob Hope is a good Venkman and Jerry Lewis as Louis "Keymaster" Tully is sheer genius.

The Top 10 Dirtiest-Sounding Mega Man Villain Names

In honor of the outstanding new Mega Man 9, I've decided to take a look back at the series... to find the Top Ten Dirtiest-Sounding Mega Man Villain Names of all time!

For the uninitiated, Mega Man is a robot who, in every game, must set out and defeat 8 different "robot masters" and acquire their unique weapons in order to defeat the evil Dr. Wily and his other robotic creations. These robot masters always had some type of "theme" associated with them, so Ice Man's stage would feature cold things, Fire Man's stage would have lava, etc. All of the robot masters had simplistic names like these: " _____" followed by "Man." Once the obvious choices were used up, the creators of later Mega Man games started to come up with some rather odd choices, such as Dust Man, Charge Man, Tomahawk Man and Cloud Man. Inevitably, some of these names end up sounding pretty dirty when taken out of context. So, to honor a fantastic new addition to a line of wonderful video games, I present now The Top Ten Dirtiest-Sounding Mega Man Villain Names to-date (and see if you can guess each robot master's "theme"):

#10 - Flame Man (Mega Man 6)
#9 - Quick Man (Mega Man 2)
#8 - Plug Man (Mega Man 9)
#7 - Flash Man (Mega Man 2)
#6 - Snake Man (Mega Man 3)
#5 - Drill Man (Mega Man 4)
#4 - Burst Man (Mega Man 7)
#3 - Wood Man (Mega Man 2)
#2 - Splash Woman (Mega Man 9)

And the dirtiest-sounding Mega Man Villain Name of the entire series so far:

#1 - Hard Man (Mega Man 3)

Thank you! Good night, everybody!

Some of my favorite music in Super Smash Bros. Brawl - Part Three

My lack of posts since the release of Super Smash Bros. Brawl attests to the fact that it is fantastically awesome, incredibly fun and astoundingly deep with all manner of modes to keep one busy: the standard multiplayer brawls, a single- or co-op-player adventure mode, coin launcher mini-game to obtain trophies, spectator mode, and on and on. But I'm taking a brief rest now to let my thumbs cool down and post a few more of my favorite songs available in Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

Super Mario Bros. Underwater Theme - Super Mario Bros.



There are some tunes in Brawl that are unchanged from their original games. The main theme from Delfino Plaza is one such song. This, the "Underwater Theme" from the original Super Mario Bros. sounds like it is unchanged, until about 25 seconds in when it begins launching into a variety of remixes of the song in different styles. There's a nice orchestrated version, but my favorite is probably the frantic harmonica-infused remix. This is a hidden song that ends up playing the hidden Underground version of the Mushroomy Kingdom stage that's well worth uncovering.

Super Mario World Title / Ending - Super Mario World



Super Mario World is one of my all-time favorite video games, so it's no surprise that this is one of my favorite tunes to hear popping up in the Delfino Plaza stage. It's a frantic take on the opening titles and closing credits music from the game and it fits perfectly with a manic, all-out brawl.

Mario Golf / Mario Tennis - Mario Golf & Mario Tennis



I'm not exactly sure what to say about this song, other than it's awesome and it plays on the Mario Kart stage--it plays on my Brawl's Mario Kart stage A LOT.

Mother 2 - Earthbound



Here's another Earthbound tune that was previously in Super Smash Bros. Melee on the same Onett stage and it's just as great as that first Mother theme. It think it's pretty same to say that the Onett stage is my most played of all the Melee stages that returned in Brawl, and it's all because of the music.

Final Destination 2 - Super Smash Bros. Brawl



This song came as perhaps the biggest surprise to me. It plays on a rather boring stage (the merely flat Final Destination) and is the only tune initially available on it in My Music. Yet, it got a hold of me and is now one of my favorite songs in the game. It's a remix of the main theme that you can hear throughout the game and its menus (and what a great tune it is), here with the Latin lyrics and a balls-to-the-wall rock sound. My favorite part? In the stage it's when the cloud layers open up revealing a shimmering golden ocean at twilight. You can hear that moment in the music at around 1 minute and 40 seconds. Awe-inspiring.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm headed back to play more Brawl. Bye for now!
