I saw this on Ragnar Tornquist’s (of Dreamfall fame) blog the other day, and it’s just too cool not to re-post. If you haven’t clicked the play button yet, you’re probably thinking “giant mutant fly” at this point, possibly coupled with a “what the f*ck?”. And then, “god, I hope it’s just a freaky-looking gorilla or something - a fly that size would just be too damn disturbing”. While it’s not exactly a gorilla OR a mutant fly (although the incessant buzzing noise would have you think otherwise), it’s certainly something out of this world, if you ask me. Pretty freaking amazing what technology can do today. Soon enough these things will be in our homes washing dishes, taking out the garbage and helping move furniture. Hopefully in a more pleasant-looking package, needless to say

Good news for people who love animal detectives. Gamespot has reported that the entire first season of Sam & Max is coming to the Wii. Not that anyone is really surprised by the news, since this is the sort of game the Wii was made for, but it’s still a welcome development all the same. While no release date has been confirmed, start keeping an eye out for another opportunity to go on an adventure with Moose and Squirrel… err, Dog and Bunny

I was so busy rickrolling bitches yesterday that this little gem went completely under my radar. Now, I’m not a GIANT gamer dork, I mean I DID name my daughter Zelda and I DO write for a site named GameLemon, but I’m not a GIANT dork. Huge? Maybe. Still, when I watched the Legend of Zelda Movie Trailer on IGN, I went through the exact same thought processes the rest of you GIANT gamer dorks went through:

“Oh my holy crap Jesus with a crossbow. A Zelda movie. Oh. Presented by IGN? Since when does IGN present anything except ads for crappy Anime games masquerading as legitimate journalism? Never. Oh, but that Scottish dude is awesome! He seems like a real actor. And sort of hot. I’m kind of crushing on bald, Scottish Ren Faire dude!* Oh but the date is April 1st. I’ve been conditioned to mistrust anything connected with that date. Oh shit! Look out, Link. Shoot that spider thingie in the eye. Trust me, I’ve been there, man. Oh are those peahats? Wow! Okay, that date must be a coincidence. Oh joy. A movie based on OoT. I’m going to totally dork out. I might even show up in costume. Or not.** Oh…an upgraded Master Sword. Oh…Ganon has a fake beard. This piece of shit is so FAKE! Fake Trailer! Frailer! Frailer!”

Today the GIANT dork boards and blogs are a buzz with speculation…there are those of us who still think it was too well done to be a fake. Well, 1. IGN already fessed up. And 2. Yes, I agree. For an IGN prank…it was remarkably well-done. But for a balls-to-the-wall all-out bid for a massive amount of publicity for a lil ole movie company called Rainfall films…I think they could’ve looked a little harder for an actor with a red beard.

* Okay. I might have been alone on that particular thought.

** That one too.
