Our Human Centipede Game Is Everywhere!

Human Centipede: The Game. A heartwarming gift to the people of Earth.

Wow! I can't believe how far our little Human Centipede game has crawled on its hands and knees. I'm absolutely floored by this. In the past 24 hours, the game has been part of a virtual media firestorm. It seems like all the major sites I visit, including my favorite horror and gaming news sites, have plugged it recently. Definitely didn't expect to see coverage of the game in the New York Times, the Boston Herald, or LA Weekly either. Super excited that Dieter Laser (the surgeon gone mad in the film), Akihiro Kitamura (the front of the centipede), and IFC have already commented on the game too. Who knows... maybe they'll even include a copy of the game on the Human Centipede DVD when it comes out. Tom Six, IFC... if any of you are reading this and would like to talk about including the game on the DVD, please email me.

I'm just glad to see people playing our little parody of the classic Centipede arcade game and I hope it results in people trying out some of our other games too. I've said it before and I'll say it again - there's no web-related task I enjoy more than making comedic Flash games. Also, much credit goes to my friend Jacob (or "Mew" as he's known here on I-Mockery) who worked on the game with me and did an excellent job coding it so this parody would be as close to the original Centipede as possible.

Of course, I also have to thank my buddy Tom Fulp over at Newgrounds for all his support of the game and for promoting it on the site extensively. He's believed in just about every game we've ever made, and that kind o' support goes a long way. I strongly recommend playing the game on Newgrounds too, because we added an assortment of achievement medals to the game to make it that much more fun and challenging.

Again, many thanks to all of you who've been telling your friends about the game. Can't tell ya how much we appreciate the support!

Hit the jump for a big (and ever-growing) thank you list to just some of the people and sites that have covered it already: (more...)

My Favorite Prank Phone Call.

by -RoG- on 05/14/2010, 2:45 pm

Master Shredder stars in The Quanicles prank phone call!

I really miss prank phone calls. As it's become easier for anybody to do a trace, prank phone calls have sadly become a thing of the past for the most part. I bring this up because I was recently reminded of an old prank phone call file that my friends and I used to listen to a long time ago. It's called "The Quanicles" and features a kid named Quan who gets fooled by one person posing as four different personalities, one of whom is The Shredder from the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Unfortunately, it's only online in Real Audio format on the original site, and I sure wouldn't expect any of you install that crappy old player just to listen to one thing. So, I went ahead and converted the file and embedded it here in the blog so you can listen to it without having to install anything. The fun really starts around the 1:24 mark. Trust me... between hearing Shredder speak (complete with his theme song in the background), the phone operator with her classic southern twang, the immature kid trying to cover his ass, and the "Phone Busters" cop investigating the situation, you'll surely appreciate just how elaborate this phone prank really is.

Hit the jump to listen to this amazing prank call. (more...)

Rose Bowl Flea Market: Snout Spout & WWF Wrestling Superstars Horror!

by -RoG- on 04/20/2010, 2:34 am

So I went to the giant Rose Bowl Flea Market in Pasadena last weekend in hopes of discovering some more rare and/or bizarre finds such as the panther tables, Kool-Aid sneakers, and Friday the 13th promo lamp I found on my last trip there. I was also hoping to take a ton of photos for another article, because I know you guys always enjoy those sightseeing pieces just as much as I enjoy taking those lil' trips. Unfortunately, mother nature decided to rain on our collective parade, so the trip was cut very short and I was only able to snap a few photos that day. Don't worry though, it's still a monthly event and I have every intention of going back there next month.

In the meantime, allow me to share with you two things I did manage to snap photos of at the Rose Bowl Flea Market.

Snout Spout? What happened to you!?

Yes, that's Snout Spout from the classic He-Man and the Masters of the Universe toy line. Until last weekend, I only knew him to be a heroic firefighter who just happened to have a cyborg elephant head. Totally logical. But now everything has changed. Now, because of the Rose Bowl Flea Market, I see that his true destiny was hidden within his trunk all these years. Yes my friends, I'm sorry to report that due to poor economic conditions, Snout Spout was laid off from his firefighting duties and had to take on a horrible new role: Heroic Catheter.

God... I feel so bad for the guy. Somebody please find him another line of work! No firefighting elephant-cyborg hero should have to suffer such indignities. Honestly, I don't even want to think about this any longer, so let's move on to the other photo I snapped: (more...)

Who Wants To Torture R2-D2?

by -RoG- on 04/17/2010, 11:30 pm

Make R2-D2 scream bloody murder by popping him inside the pop-o-matic trouble bubble!

Am I the only one who's a total sucker for Pop-O-Matic Trouble bubble board games? I don't even think I've ever played through a whole game involving one, but I love pushing those bubbles. Today, I discovered a new one that has R2-D2 stuck inside it, and he makes all kinds of robo-freakout noises whenever you pop it. I'm pretty sure the store employees were eyeing the guy who wouldn't stop torturing R2-D2 for a solid five minutes. And honestly, I couldn't care less. I'm seriously considering buying one because, whenever I'm having a bad day, I can look at R2 out of the corner of my eye, smile and proceed torture the hell out of him. Pop! Pop! POP! The fun of driving R2 insane would certainly last longer than the Pop-O-Matic toy I found in a box of Lucky Charms a few years back.

Moral of the story? Screw meditation... if you want stress relief, find a robot to torture.

Glitch Of War III: Hermes Battle.

by -RoG- on 04/14/2010, 7:54 pm

So I finished playing through God of War III and it definitely exceeded my expectations. The level design in the game is absolutely ridiculous and truly pushes the limits of what the PS3 is capable of. I honestly can't even fathom how they pieced some of those scenarios together, and there's no doubt that the game is one hell of an accomplishment. That's not to say that it isn't without any faults.

Of course, there's the requisite ultra-nerdy, masturbatory scene in which you have Kratos attempt to please a goddess... and her big 3D boobs. I can't help but feel embarrassed for anybody who had to do the voice acting for that little sequence, it must've been painful. The very end of the game also left something to be desired, but when you start the game off with such a mind-blowing opening fight, it's hard to sustain that sort of thing. Plus, there are plenty of great battles throughout GOW3, so I can overlook the ending.

All that said, I uncovered a major glitch while playing through the game and me thinks Sony might want to fix it. Take a look at my video footage:

As you can see, during the battle with Hermes, he froze in one spot while continuing to run and bleed. No matter where I moved or what I did to him, he was just stuck there in the same place. I eventually had to shutdown my PS3 and resume from an earlier save game point. Good times.

Again, minor gripes aside, the game was a hell of an experience and really shows just how beyond the Xbox and Wii systems the PS3 really is when developers try to push its capabilities to the limits. I'm no loyal fanboy of any system by any stretch (and I hate console war arguments just as much as I hate Mac vs. PC ones), but when something impresses me, I let people know about it, and God of War III did just that.

So have any of you played through the game too? If so, what are your thoughts on it? What were your favorite moments?

p.s.: Sony, that'll be $5,000 for my beta testing services. I accept payment in the form of cash, check or Helios' head. Seriously, if I had that thing, I'd never need to buy batteries for my flashlight again.
