video games

That's how you know the game is used.  If it was new, you'd be buying it from a Japanese person.

Featuring some of the latest Twitter and Facebook comments about Tosh.0.

Glad you enjoyed the Drunk Knockout Web Rematch, Twon.

But come on…   "Wrote down"??

Why would you have to write down 007 373 5963?

Shit, I can recite that code faster than anyone's birthday in my immediate family.  And I'm pretty sure today is one of their birthdays.

And you thought your depressing life was reason enough for binge drinking…

Well, in the not too distant future, you may look forward to extra trips to the restroom as a chance to participate in this competitive urination game.

Yes, you should be skeptical of anything that aims a "sensor" directly at your junk.

And you have to ask yourself, "Can technology really improve upon the good ol' fashioned sword fight?"

Still, the only real harm I see in this is the harm you'll cause your bladder by holding things in when attempting to top your high score.

Here's hoping they make a version for the iPad.  I've been looking for a good excuse to piss all over everyone's iPads.

So apparently, Portal 2 is one of the hot new video games on the market.  I wouldn't know.  I don't game much anymore.  I used to play Tiger Woods PGA Tour, but now when I win, I just feel sorry for the guy.

Regardless, I figured some of you gamers out there would find this funny: a mix of Portal and Tetris.

It's actually playable, in case you can't tell where the joke is going.  (Trust me, you can tell where the joke is going.)

At the very least, it'll keep our slower fans on the blog longer.  And that's one of our key demos… slow people.

Recently, the Tosh.0 blog has received some flack from one of my favorite sites, Reddit.  Some Redditors feel we don't give Reddit enough credit for the content on our blog.

Though many of my fellow Redditors have defended us, and understand we do our best to always provide a "via" link to wherever we find things, we hate making people upset, and we want to start doing a better job giving credit where credit is due.

So for instance, see the image above?  The image of FOUR DUDES PLAYING VIDEO GAMES HALF-NAKED IN A BLANKET FORT?

I found that on Reddit!

Thank you, Reddit!  Thank you for providing us with this awesome photograph of FOUR DUDES PLAYING VIDEO GAMES HALF-NAKED IN A BLANKET FORT.

Hopefully, this helps address many of your concerns.

HEY ASSHOLE STOP TYPING IN DAMN ALL CAPS FOR ONCE OK???? but anywayyyy i give them super mario brothers because i want to see you stop leaving poorly written comments :) de nadaaaaaa ?

Leave your suggestion for next week's Fan Favorite video in the comments!

It's a guy beating the first four Super Mario games all as quickly as possible all at once using only one controller.

Now before you freak out and say, "This is totally impossible!" keep in mind that it's labeled "TAS" which in the video game world means it's "Tool Assisted."

The guy who made the video is the tool.

But this is nothing.  I once beat the first six Mega Man games all at the same time using only one controller.  They key was to lie about it.

I probably spent about half my childhood blowing into Nintendo games.  Once your machine reached a certain age, that was the only surefire way to get it to work.

Then I reached a certain age, discovered alcohol, and my childhood days ended.

Well, now someone over at Andy's Electronics Projects (Andy, maybe?) has combined the best of both worlds: a game called DrunkenNES that uses a breathalyzer stuck in an old NES cartridge to create a playable NES drinking game.

You blow in the cartridge just like old times and the game tosses your name up on an 8-bit leaderboard.

Not sure how you "beat" a game where the drunkest person wins.  Death by alcohol poisoning?

Regardless, as cool as this is, the hardest NES drinking game will always be when you drunkenly tell your buddies you can TKO Mike Tyson in the second round of Punch-Out!! and then they force you to prove it.

I can do it, I swear.  I've just drank way too many High Lifes.

Tron Guy Jay Maynard is a favorite of ours here at the Tosh.0 blog.  Primarily because he's achieved fame without really doing anything other than wearing a Tron costume.

Every year, millions of people dress up in costumes and never get any recognition for their efforts.  But there's something about that Tron costume…

So I'm surprised it took so long for someone to realize that if they dressed their dog up in a Tron costume and called the thing Tron Dog, they too could bask in the niche market that is Internet Tron costume fame.

And for those of you who take the time to watch this video and ask yourself why is "Tron" Dog playing Donkey Kong and Excitebike, obviously you're missing the point that Tron Dog is inherently idiotic, and therefore, has no reason to conform to any sort of logic.  Such is the beauty of Tron costume fame: It follows a logic unto itself.

But, alas, It'll probably be a short run in the limelight for Tron Dog anyway.  Tron Cat is already on his heels.  And though Tron Hedgehog yields no image results yet, I have faith the Internet will make it happen.

Ah, screw it.  I'll just handle it:

Mashable reports that the game Angry Birds is going to be turned into an animated series.

Now those birds will really have something to be angry about: Having their good reputation ruined by a lazy Hollywood money grab.

How much backstory do we really want here?  I don't need to learn that the reason the pigs stole the eggs was because the birds cut off funding to the pigs food stamps program and the pigs needed the eggs to feed their starving children or something.  I don't want to turn my subway ride diversion into some big moral dilemma.

And can a feature film be far behind?

I wonder if Bob Hoskins is available?  He always seems down to turn a popular video game into a terrible movie.

Actually, new question: I wonder if Bob Hoskins is alive?
