Metal Slug In Real Life

Saw this on Kotaku just now, Youtube user andrewmfilms has created a short video using sprites and sound effects from Metal Slug within a real life setting.A couple of things which are a shame he didn't include were the 'Heavy Machine Gun' sound effect and the actual Metal Slug itself!!If you check out his Youtube channel you can see some more similar videos, including 'Real Life Mario'[Edit]: Also seen on Kotaku, is this Metal Slug made out of Technics...

Neo Geo - Karnaval Tamani Al Awal [CD]

This was something that i bought a while back from eBay in a 99p auction, but forgot to do a little write up about, as it is a bit of a curiousity.The item itself is a music CD, but funnily enough despite the Neo Geo logo on the front actually has nothing to do with SNK or the Neo Geo.From what i found out via NeoGeoForLife the CD features different Arabic singers singing songs by a composer called Tamani, so other than the logo (which is probably...

Garou: Mark Of The Wolves Cups

This past week i was watching an auction for a Garou: MOTW cup, though i didn't bit on it though as it ended at £31...Which is a bit too crazy a price for a cup even though it is a kind of collectable. The seller noted that it was originally an Arcade Prize, which i assume probably means it came from a UFO catcher or something similar, so was possibly quite a rare item to pop up on eBay.The one up for auction on eBay was the B.Jenet cup.  Personally...

KOF02UM - VERSUS - 22/08/11

A new set of videos from VERSUS has been uploaded by SMOAI2010 from the 22/08/11, featuring KOF02UM as usual.Still my KOF game of choice, though sadly the scene for it here has pretty much died off whilst people are preparing to play XIII.  Hopefully i'll sort out my money and working holiday visa soon enough to head out to Japan in a few more months time so i can get back to playing 02UM, not too happy about the prospect of having to play on the square (Street Fighter) type button layout though... =_=１Ｐ：（ｂａｓ）ポン、シュ、ＮＹ、チャ、Ｓ＠～、ＭＯ、ＹＤ、ジャム子、なつ...

Old SNK Goods From Japan S.2 - Rubber Samurai Shodown Figures

It's been a while since i've done one of these write ups so thought i'd better get on with it, the next part of the Old SNK Goods from Japan this time is about these rubber SamSho figures that my friend got for me.Like some of the other things he brought back for me this time i thought these were quite odd pieces of merchandise though i was quite happy to receive them nonetheless.They remind me a bit of the M.U.S.C.L.E figures that were released...
