Nintendo Rules the Internets!

Or, more accurately, a guy named Sean Reiley rules the nintenternets. His site - Seanbaby is a fun read - full of pop culture of all shades and flavours. Well, mainly comics and video games, but bear with me - it rules.

But obviously, what got one Beckstar's motor running is his expansive Nintendo section, which is pretty much the funniest thing ever. It's basically a plethora of obscure items from old Nintendo Power magazines, sections like Dear Nintendo, my life is a goddamn mess, a time capsule of Nintendo's most memorable fan mail.

A personal favourite? His Worst things to make Nintendo games about list, which breaks down the top ten worst ideas for video games. A well-timed favourite, at number 10 is, oh yes, a California Raisins video game. As he puts it:

The raisin shit was such a bad idea for a game it never even made it to stores. Don't think it was because someone noticed how stupid it was halfway through making it, or even better -- halfway through the sentence from the guy suggesting they make it. They finished the entire game. It was only after they were completely done when some video game designer finally took some damn responsibility and hid it where no children of American could get to it. I don't know. Or maybe the retail chains refused to sell it. Wal-Mart may sell Who Farted? hats and have an entire section for cow-sized spandex pants, but they at least have enough standards to refuse to stock a Nintendo game about singing raisins. Maybe.




I've got a MAD digicrush on this kid. Edit: even more so after looking through his photo galleries and seeing all of the delightful perversions he gets up to with my favourite erotic party troupe The Suicide Girls. Delicious.
