In a daring attempt to recapture what little was left of his downward spiraling career ever since he drank his own piss in Waterworld, formerly relevant actor Kevin Costner has secretly begun working on an exciting new hybrid project. Referred to as a wacky spinoff to his Academy Award winning 1990 film Dances With Wolves, his latest outting is sure to take the world by storm. Jobless Costner was recently approached by the Japanese video game company Konami to walk the company pets for some extra bucks here and there. Konami president Yakookoozazoozski San Mellincamps witnessed Costner develop close bonds with the animals and thus, the genre-bending Civil War themed rhythm game was born. Sadly, the out of shape actor and his trusty wolf companion weren’t quite ready for their “Footloose On Fort Sedgwick” musical duet and a medical emergency amassed. Read on for the first devastating set picture…

If you’ve decided to take a break from the furious nut-punching awesomeness of the new Smash Bros. game this week (we barely did) you may have noticed that we added a new comic to our comic section. The plan is to release a new strip every Wednesday, and like most video game web comics, try to find a balance between topical gaming humor (not to be confused with topical gaming creme) and our deranged and distorted revisionist memories of the ghosts of gaming’s past.

Where we differ from your typical web comic is our presentation. Instead of locking ourselves into a definitive art style and having to shoehorn the rest of our comic ideas into a forced look, we’ll be running with whatever visual representation we feel suits the idea best at the time. So expect a wide range of lunacy every time you click on the “comic” button in our navigational bar, should you choose to do so. Which you should, stoopid!

So far we’ve wondered if the Wii will die naked and alone, dipped into the past to discover what violent video games dinosaurs played before committing carnivorous acts, figured out why Mario is too occupied to clean his desktop, and how Altair from Assassin’s Creed tries to use his crowd-blending skills to avoid ending up on NBC. Every Wednesday, a small slice of exciting newness for your jaded little eyeballs. At least it’s better than staring at that ironic Garfield poster your boss hung outside your cubicle, right?

Weekend Wrap Up!

the -minus world on March 9th, 2008

It’s been a busy and exciting launch week here for us at www.the-minusworld.com and we’d like to start off by saying thank you to everyone who linked to us from their sites, stopped by to show some love or hate, or just helped spread the word.

We have some great surprises lined up for the next few days but until then, here’s a few things we covered in the last week:

Punch-Out: The Most Racist Video Game Ever Made

Color Blind Man Can’t Figure Out Why His Xbox360 Won’t Start

New PSP Game: Feed The Homeless

Resident Of The Evil Building Complains About Late Night Noise Pollution

Our No More Heroes Review

Now quit dickin’ around on the internet and go play some gamz!

DS, The Legend of Zelda, Phantom Hourglass

I shouldn’t have done that eighth round of Jager.

It always seems like a great idea until I wake up in a strange place hugging a stray cat and using hard plastic game boxes as pillows. My first play through of TLoZ:PSM (DS) left me shaking and irritated, which isn’t something I can really blame on the game, per say. It’s because I’m an alcoholic. Anywhoo, the game is fucking cool, especially when you’re playing it in a taxi at 9AM with one hand holding the stylus and the other covering your eye so you don’t puke. It’s your run of the mill rupee-fest where some shifty pirate prick takes all the credit for your hard work (like when somebody snatches your barfly after you’ve spent the whole night getting her liquored up.) This guy is a bit more deranged in the sense that he’s constantly filling your character with L.I.T.’s even though you don’t look a day over 8 years old. When the screen gets blurry just as you’re sinking your anchor to grab some needless ship part, you’ll want to snap the neck off of your Heineken and jab it into anything with a pulse.

Conclusion: Gametastic! Mosty because it turns the DS microphone into a breathalizer where you have to blow a 0.2 BAC just to access your save file. The “avoid getting seasick” mini games were a challenge, although i’m not even sure if they really existed or not.

Fuck it, last night was a business write-off anyway. Read on

Lugoj, Romania.

We traveled to a remote part of Romania for this story to meet with Henric Stanislav who apparently has been having a hard time sleeping in his apartment due to frequent noise pollution. Stanislav, 68 one of the few residents of the “Evil” building has made frequent complaints to the management about freakish cries and a what he explains as a “downpour of bullet sound in ear like glass raining on face”. We met with Stanislav in front of his home to briefly interview him.

Hit the break for the interview and the picture we took of his room.
