Marching Bands Like Video Games
I don’t really even know what to say. Why did they choose to do a video game theme? I mean, a lot of people in the band must really love video games to decide to do this. It’s pretty well done…watching the Tetris blocks move is almost mesmerizing. It’s too bad everything is upside down.…

Super Smash Bros. Brawl Update: Meta Knight Final Smash
This morning’s Smash Bros. Dojo update displayed Meta Knight’s final smash. He swirls around his cape, does some other crap, everything gets dark, and finally someone gets sliced by his sword. I think I’ve already seen this on video, anyway, so reading about it isn’t exactly exciting.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl – Classic Mode
Today Classic mode was revealed. You clear a stage and you get coins, so is it like a side scrolling level and you fight to the end, like in Melee? I think that’s all there was to it, really… Anyway, clear the stage and you get coins, and coins are NOT used to buy things…
