Another Internet Myth Busted

Written by Daan Jansonius on December 2nd, 2007 | no comments

Thanks to the internet we now all know that we haven’t actually been on the moon yet, George W Bush is the greatest president to have ever lived and the Numa Numa guy is the most popular guy on earth. Oh, and Hitler loves playing on his Xbox 360.

Like the two middle aged ginger guys on the Discovery Channel, the internet is a great resource to refute (or start!) rumours and bust myths. Recently we came across a very touching story about a 20 year old German guy who was diagnosed with leukaemia – he was going to die within a year. Due to his disease he decided to live his last year on earth on the edge and took up train surfing as a hobby. He posted his exploits on the internet.

Shortly after he shot to fame on Youtube he died. Or did he?

Gamers Apologetic Video: Blame Halo 3

Written by Paul van Veenendaal on December 2nd, 2007 | no comments

JamesatWar from Fairbanks, Alaska likes to spoof things. Since he joined YouTube about 3 months ago he recorded some hilarious and quite successful videos, e.g. Star Trek Shatner Back and Nickelback Rockstar Spoof. His YouTube fanbase quickly grew to over 6,000 subscribers in just 90 days. His latest music video “Blame Halo 3″ is a humorous parody of Akon’s apologetic anthem “Sorry, Blame It On Me” about game addiction and lack of parental responsibility. Halo 3 brings a lot of guys a lot of enjoyment, but some don’t realize how it is affecting their loved ones or should I call them ‘videogame widows’?

Other songs about games, MMORPG and video game consoles: Smoke The Wii, Wiihab, Buy Mii a Wii, World of Warcraft Song, Xbox 360 Song and ofcourse the famous PS3 Song. (Source: Joystiq, Kontraband)
