Awesome things that must be shared

[Doomed Hero]

I'd bet that most of the people that frequent this sight are (like most gamers) fans of video games. Most of us grew up with an NES (or and SNES for the younger crowd). We spent some time in arcades. We had our favorite games and characters and had arguments about weather Link could take Mario, or some other equally goofy pairing. In the spirit of nostalgia and fun I present to you the following links. Enjoy.

Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom Part 1. Slow to start, but worth it.

And finally I present to you the most vicious example of the programmers art I have ever seen. Super Mario Bros. Reinvented by a sadist.

all great videos...

the halo vs. metroid video... I think the actually title is Haloid and the dead fantasy video (FF girls agains DoA girls) are both videos by monty oom who is a genius..  he just released a sequel to Dead fantasy a few weeks ago that's even more amazing
