Geek Blog – Mario Invades Rock Band
I had no idea it was possible to write your own Rock Band ports. I figured it was conceivable, but didn’t realize people did it. I strongly doubt these tracks will land on the Rock Band DLC list anytime in the near (ever) future, but they’re awesome, nonetheless. The slide theme gets going faster than I can imagine my fingers capable of moving. And the bass hits in the second video are rapid and punchy. More after the jump.

Geek Blog – The History of the World of Video Game Music
A musical displaying the history of video game music from the ancient Atari days through the glory of SNES-dom. Remixed and produced by remix artist Norg. A good trip down Nostalgia Ave.

Geek Blog – Mario Parodies Jersey Shore
I’ve never seen Jersey Shore (I kind of don’t want to). We don’t have cable or really watch much television at the Geek House. We do; however, absolutely love the Mario Brothers. I posted a video earlier by YouTube user DrCoolSex: a trailer for a Mario Kart movie. Looks like those costumes did not go to waste.

Geek Blog – Hit by the Green Koopa Shell of Jealousy
Happyseamstress recently posted the “Nerdiest Sweater Vest in the World,” an awesome knitted, wearable, World 1-1. She even reports having to dye her own yarn to get the right color for the pipe and bush.
Kotaku author Owen Good calls it like it is:
So if this sweater makes him the world’s biggest geek, it also makes her the world’s most awesome wife. (cited)
See the back of this awesome creation after the jump. (And, for the record, my GeekWife is the most awesome).
Trailer Tuesday – Mega Man
Fan films can be awesome or incredibly gut-wrenching. This particular film (feature length set at 107 minutes) is, oddly, both at the same time. Perhaps with multiple views, my gut-wrenched reaction may dissipate. Some. While not a high-budget film by any means, I think this particular trailer does capture some of the core essence of Mega Man; however, after seeing Avatar last weekend, a small part of me wants more CGI and approaching-the-top special effects. Supposed to premier before the summer of 2010, with a downloadable release 2 weeks later.
Thank you, Eddie Lebron, for making the effort to bring Mega Man to the big screen.
