New Doom Weapon Rickrolls Demons To Death

The most powerful aftermarket Doom weapon? The voice of Rick Astley apparently, as some enterprising Doom fan has created their own tribute to the English singer-songwriter-meme source in the form of a deadly boombox that never gives up. Hey, it may be old(!!!!1) to you, but since we make it a point not to troll /b/ too often, it's news to us. Hilarious, hard hitting news. Thanks for the linklog, Waxy.

Portal T-Shirt: The Cake is a Lie

Even though I have written about it a lot, I'm still amazed at the amount of in-jokes, memes and products Portal has spawned. Add one more to the list as J!nx comes out with its own Portal "The cake is a lie" t-shirt. It even comes with their own special patented sassy explanatory paragraph:

Spoiler Alert: In general, anyone that promises free moist, delicious cake as a reward should not be trusted. Cake is never free, people. Who in their right mind would ever give cake away instead of hording it for themself? No sane person; that is the answer to that question. If you are thoroughly confused by this shirt, as many of you will surely be, Google is your friend.

The shirt comes in black in sizes SM-4XL. Prices range from $14.95 for the wee sizes to $17.95 for the big boys.

The cake is a lie Tee [J!nx]
[Thanks, David]

PlayStation Network To Bring E3 Home Also

With Microsoft already planning an E3 2007 blitz of media, demos and more for Xbox 360 owners, how will Sony counter for its fanbase? They're doing pretty much the same thing, actually. After yesterday's disappointing PlayStation Store showing, Sony looks to be gearing up for a big week of updates that will see game trailers and videos available for download, including its own E3 press conference, scheduled for July 11th. But what about demos? More »

Nintendo 64 Kid's Nintendo 64 For Sale

If I were that boy in the above, now-infamous internet viral video, I'd have gone into hiding. But I'm fairly impressed with the "Nintendo 64 Kid" and his ability to come out, so to speak, and admit that he was that spastic ninny child, frantically pawing over his N64 box. Of course, he now has the opportunity to cash in on his brief internet fame, with his N64 and copy of launch filler Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire now on eBay. He's sure to get way more than he would with an EB trade-in and I'm a little jealous. I could really use the cash. More »

UPDATE! Bite the Waxing Quintile: What the Christ is Eon8?

This was going to be a big comprehensive post about the Eon8 thing that's rattling all sorts of meme vectors right now, but as with viral marketing of this scale, the sheer number of forum posts, references, speculation and factoids gleaned via WHOIS and hacking are making that sort of thing redundant. So instead this will be a brief overview, followed by a linkstravaganza. More »
