I HATE Selling on Craigslist
July 30th, 2010
For those of you who only stick to Facebook, Twitter, and eBay for your Internet needs (aww aren’t you so cute in your little safety bubble?) you may only be familiar with Craigslist in passing. Craigslist can best be described as a rough “meet up” connections website whose display format never made it past 1997; either the creators of the website are creative geniuses or they simply cannot be assed to pick a font other than Times New Roman for their creation. On Craigslist you can do a variety of local things in your community — assuming you live in one of a handful of densely populated places in the United States — ranging from selling an old dresser, finding a DJ for a party, or finding work in the adult porn business. Craigslist truly has it all, and if it dispensed food stamps then I’m fairly certain every impoverished family in every metropolis in the country would be all over it.
In Texas you get a poverty gift card.
GMO2 – Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures
July 30th, 2010
GMO2 (The Godmode: On II Project) is just a test idea we had for a commentary show that retains all the energy and humor of its predecessor, except without the display similarities that make it look like other shows currently popular online. With Broken Pixels taking the fullscreen “reflection” view and Video Games AWESOME playing with the angled view and cast greenscreened in the corner, we decided to take it half way and do the game footage fullscreen with the cast hanging out in the bottom corner as to not obscure the footage.
In this test video we sit down and play Cabela’s Alaskan Adventures for the Xbox 360, and rather than playing it like the hunting sim it was meant to be we treat it like a FPS ala Halo or Modern Warfare.

The 5 Most WTF McDonald’s Toys Ever
July 3rd, 2010
Love ‘em or hate ‘em, McDonald’s is a fast food franchise that has warmed the hearts of many a child with the promises of shortbread cookies, a toy in every happy meal, and chronic constipation. From the inception of the Happy Meal in the late 1970’s McDonald’s has included a toy or other trinket in every single kid’s meal sold at their franchise. Beginning first as a series of various market tests, the Happy Meal soon became a franchise staple, and in present day still continues on as strong as ever. McDonald’s set the bar for kid’s meals at any franchise and now Burger King, Wendy’s, Jack In The Box, and everybody else has to keep up – and usually with shittier franchises too thanks to McDonald’s taking the obvious choices like Hot Wheels and Beanie Babies. Burger King generally ends up with whatever trash Viacom is hawking (Spongebob Squarepants) and Wendy’s… well, if “you know when it’s real” then you’ll also know when you get a crap toy in your kid’s meal. The only decent thing Wendy’s ever had was their set of Spyro the Dragon toys. And maybe that Six Flags Mr. Six figurine.

Nintendon’t: Make My Video – Marky Mark (Sega CD)
June 11th, 2010
Below is a “final draft” version of the entry for Make My Video: Marky Mark & The Funky Bunch as it is scheduled to appear in the book Nintendon’t: 25 of the Worst Video Games Ever Made.
I have a love/hate relationship not just with this Sega CD game series but with Mark Wahlberg in general. I’d like to say that he’s simply yet another generic rapper-turned-actor, an actor whose entire career started because he refused to join New Kids On The Block and instead chose to rap about Sunkist orange soda without a shirt on, but I’m pretty sure if I said that aloud and actually meant it “Marky” Mark Wahlberg himself would hunt me down and beat my ass. Mark Walhberg’s rap career is something he flaunted like crazy when his debut album Music for the People was selling like hotcakes but now that he’s admittedly “grown up” Wahlberg has actually gone on the record to express his disdain for his previous musical endeavors, and for that I commend him. He lived like everything he was not in the 1990’s (or rather, in his words, “nineteen ninety motherfucking two”) and once he pulled his head out of his ass he admitted his wrong doings, starred in a few movies, and then threatened to beat up Saturday Night Live’s Andy Samberg because of his Mark Wahlberg impressions. Great guy all around.
Payton Talks About the Fifth Gen Pokemon
June 6th, 2010
nightmare.png is the actual name of this file.
I’m a big Pokemon guy. Most of the space on my computer desk is used up by small Pokemon figurines I’ve collected over the years. Hell, I managed to play seventeen hours worth of Pokemon Heart Gold in one day, I’m just that cool. When I got the news that the Pokemon Company had started working on the fifth generation games a couple months ago, I was excited, and truly hoped that these upcoming games would blow my mind, and be the breath of fresh air that the series needs.
Well folks, it looks like that won’t be a reality.

Pictures From The Set of YTBB: Episode 1
May 14th, 2010
Earlier this year we released the previously unreleased “pilot” from the Twilight Foundry Films / Yellowteam Films show YouTube Bargain Bin. The rough pilot wasn’t produced with quality in mind, we were mostly looking for feedback on the idea itself. Unfortunately with the advent of television shows like Tosh.0 we feel like we may have missed the originality boat now that the idea is kind of mainstream. Despite our stroke of ignorance and laziness we’ve decided to continue the show and have made the decision to produce 10 episodes of YouTube Bargain Bin for GatorAIDS, hosted by J. Andre Bardin and Alex Bardin. Lead-ins, skits, and hosting segments for the first episode, “Conspiracies”, were filmed today. Here are some photographs taken at the set.
It's the Golden Fantasy Dragon!!
Nintendon’t: Rock Revolution (X360, PS3)
April 29th, 2010
Below is another rough draft sample of one of the entries of the Nintendon’t project.
Konami is a company so ingrained in the history of gaming with so many hit titles to their name that you can’t venture out into the gaming world without hearing of their endeavors. Whether it’s in regards to their Castlevania or Metal Gear franchises or their establishment of the Ultra Games “company” in the 1980’s to creatively circumvent Nintendo’s third party licensing restriction not much can be said about Konami that isn’t positive, except for whatever you can conjure about Rock Revolution.
Konami, and their extension company Bemani (a portmanteau of BeatMania, one of their most successful music-based arcade games), are responsible for some of the most successful and iconic music-based video games ever conceived. Speaking locally and generally Dance Dance Revolution is perhaps the franchise you might be most familiar with, but Konami has been responsible for so much more (mostly overseas). Unfortunately, though, not everything they produce can be a winner, what with the original incarnation of American Idol on the PlayStation 2 being nothing more than a timed button masher and also with the train wreck that is Rock Revolution, the subject of this entry in Nintendon’t.
