You know who I am madly in love with? Fellow editorColette Bennett. Why, you may ask? Well, first off:look at her! Secondly, she and I share a special bond about how much we adore the Nintendo DS. The cute little handheld is our favorite thing ever, both of us easily ranking it as one of our favorite videogame systems of all time. Just the other day Colette and I were sitting in a rowboat, floating through the swinging reeds of a small, moonlit pond, talking about what our most anticipated Nintendo DS games of 2009 are....

Not bad, China. When you rip off something, you usually do a crap job. This? This looks like a PSPgo at first glace. Maybe even second glance. But it misses the mark on closer examination. What you’re seeing here is the PXP-2000. That’s right. They seriously went with the name PXP. This is the latest in the long line of pachimono (the term for knock-offs). This one slides open, just like the PSPgo....

Half my closet consists ofThreadless.comt shirts. The other half is filled with stiletto pumps and goat costumes with neon genitalia, but that’s a story best saved for another time. After their awesome competition to design aBioShockshirtas a part of their “Loves Threadless” series, the video game love has continued — this time to design an E for All shirt based on the theme “Power Up And Play.” I’m not sure whether E for All is going to be a memorable, fun event or a complete trainwreck, but either way you may’t beat going for free....

Even with as popular as videogames are today, broadcasts on gaming are pretty hard to come by. Sure, we have the G4’s shows, and there’s always GameTrailers TV. But there’s not much beyond that. There’s one more new option for those… standing in New York’s Times Square. GCHD is a videogame show that airs on the big-assed 40′ x 30′ screen at the corner of 47th and Broadway. Oh, and it’s in high-definition....

While Creative Assembly won’t haveTotal War: Shogun 2out for a while to come (March 15), you better believe it’s time to talk about some of those darned bonuses you get for reserving a copy. GameStopis now offeringan exclusive night mission, 1545’s Battle of Kawagoe; two logo-laced images of this content are attached. Alternatively, you can hit up Best Buy for an early head start with 1,000 Koku (in-game currency). This only applies to in-store orders, though....

In the firstPaperboyin real life sketch, a man deals with the Paperboy who continually ruins his morning. The man strikes back by attacking the Paperboy with various obstacles, such as Japanese BBoys, but isn’t successful futile until he takes things too far. The second Paperboy sketch is a movie trailer spoof where a boy is forced into becoming a man by becoming the Paperboy. His dad gets shot four times too....

Valve has sent an email out to press sites, declaring that it has no games to show at E3. Those expecting somethingHalf-Liferelated to rear its head at this year’s show seem due a disappointment. The studio says it has no booth at the show this year, and insists it’s got nothing for us to book an appointment for. I’ve heard some people from Valve will be in attendance though, so who’s to say they’re not hiding something under their sleeve?...

3D Realms may havedied a sputtering death, but Apogee Software is still alive and kicking, and keeping theDuke Nukemcandle alight. In anticipation of the handheldDuke Nukem Trilogy, which is still in development, a “massive online audition” is being planned to find the next live-action Duke Nukem. That’s right, anybody in the US reading this now could, if theyreallywanted to, have a chance to step into the boots of Duke. You can do whatever you want in an effort to impress the judges, and the winner will travel around the world as a representative of Deep Silver and Apogee....

After that, anAMVvideo usingHalo 2. Followed by an ad for the Atari LYNX. Then a video of a guy playing the flute AND beat boxing theMario brostheme at the very same time. A little glitch hacking inZeldaTwilgihtPrincessfollows that. Then a high school play about a “Bowserhates Mario club”....

A short clip from the Super Mario Super Show. This features Bowser and Mario having a rap battle. Cultural stereo types FTW. (Spotted onGame Break) Ever wondered what it’d be like to play asMega ManinDonkey Kong? It’d be the worst game ever apparently. The first Coleco Vision ad. I believe I found this on Digg and for some reason, the submitter was comparing the Coleco to the PS3. Fanboys, FTL....
