Wombat's Super Mario Galaxy Launch Party entry, easily, because he was like, all over it, he covered it, even posted pictures from a real digital camera, real journalist-person-like and stuff.

[emperor922]

Playing Portal, For Real cause the "nameless" friend's pics are sweet

[scargums]

Having my Cake is my favorite of Wombat's posts thus far, as I am so proud of him for beating it! Isn't your life complete now?

I like the post about Link stealing from simple chicken farmers. For some reason, it makes me laugh every time I read it.

This (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/)

[michaema]

The Internet; Doing Your Parent’s Job Since 1995, This post just cracked me up especially when he referred to children as spawn...

[liquidcross]

"Assassin's Cred." Aside from that hilarious Rabbid-as-Altair picture, I like that Wombat gave even more notice to what was clearly a biased review by IGN. "Cut and paste error," my ass; they got caught, and were forced to change it. Bravo!

[Nephlabobo]

My least favourite post of Wombat's was the Make Mine Marvel post

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/comments/make_mine_marvel/

Just for the fact that I was looking forward to the game and he's delivering crappy news.

Edit - Crap. I'm *sure* I heard Cheapy say favourite or *least* favourite.

In that case, my favourite would be the "Assassin's Cred" post - for the clever title.

Game Developer’s Theatre: Pinata Edition (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/game_developers_theatre_pinata_edition/)

I'm going to have to go with Game Developer's Theater: Viva Pinata edition, as it made me laugh out loud when I first read it.

[CouRageouS]

I'm going to have to go with Game Developer's Theater: Viva Pinata edition, as it made me laugh out loud when I first read it.
I liked that one too, especially because it had AC Slater in the picture :lol:

Honorable mention to one of the first ones with "Hot Dog" in it.

[die138]

having my cake....after reading it, i rented orange box. portal is great and i still haven't touched the rest of the game yet.

[jmiller80]

Having My Cake: I had nearly the same experience with Portal.

[Kfoster1979]

Haveing my cake... I was in the same boat and just went back and finished this weekend.

[atomsk]

Having my cake. I love portal and this brought back good memories from two weeks ago.

[Guagloves]

The Assassin's Cred post, because Rabbids are freaking awesome.

[Blaine]

My favorite one has got to be "Make Mine Marvel"
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/make_mine_marvel/

If only because that's a perfect storm for wombat: Comics and games.

[catapult37]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/what_about_the_children/

"I'm just here for the children." This is my favorite becuase no matter how you take it, it's funny. You either picture children crowding around Wombat as if he is some lovable Barney-esque character, or you picture Wombat rampaging through TRU, devouring children. :-)


Edit: I just watched that Halo kid video, and I think I changed my mind. That little guy was really sweet, and so grateful to his parents. Brings a tear to me eye.
Edit edit: N/m, Rusty posted that one.

[MartinAustin]

My favorite so far is the "Having My Cake" post about Portal. I agree that in this day and age, it is insanely difficult to avoid spoilers for games.

I am on the final stage of Portal, and I am taking my time and enjoying it.

Nice work on the blog, Wombat.

[VirgiltheChicken]

Game Developer’s Theatre: Pinata Edition. What can I say? I love legitimate theater.

[youruglyclone]

A very Halo Birthday...just felt very contrived. it's like the parents were trying recreate n64 kid.

honestly the family could've edited it better.

avatar cards are cool and all but did we have to sit through so much other gift openings?

so I expect the post on gamerblog where the "xbox360 kid" sells his xbox 360 on ebay.

[slimeknight8]

I love the Alarmist Friday Post. Its finally bringing to attention to Link stealing from townspeople. He also steals from the bad guys as well.

[abreed]

I have to go with Game Developer's Theater: Viva Pinata edition too. Great stuff.

[moleson]

I liked the portal pic at: http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/playing_portal_for_real/

Awesome pic and copy that I would have never have known about without Wombat's blog.

[jaystaeb8]

A Very Halo Birthday, it reminded me that not all kids are ungrateful little shits who think everything should be handed to them.

[grandamchandler]

100 Xbox Live Games! Why Should I Care if Microsoft

This would be my favorite post of Wombat's thus far. He makes a great point that we got Screwed with Screwjumper. Seriously that's all they had?

Good Honest Reporting Wombat.

"Having My Cake" - Just makes the interminable wait for the PS3 port of the Orange Box more unbearable. Sounds so great.

[garrett186]

my least favorite article is "Make Mine Marvel (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/make_mine_marvel/)". I'm also a big Marvel fan and this news depresses me.

[darbyjones]

Favorite: The kid getting a 360 for his birthday. I watched it with my girlfriend and she thought it was the cutest thing ever.

[BustaUppa]

I will vote for "Assassin’s Cred" as my favorite so far, because teh bunny makes me chuckle.

[dacool561]

"It's a Digital Life" - Best post why? Star Wars theme playing tooth brushes, nuff said! =)

[sublime90]

mine is Hitman: The Advertisment based on the Movie based on the Game (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/hitman_the_advertisment_based_on_the_movie_based_o n_the_game/)
i thought that was pretty cool because i live in a smallll city and dont get cool bus ads like that. ive been following the hitman series as well as all IOI games and wombat makes good points in that blog......when was agent 47 all about the ladies?? hes not bond hes a hitman

[jakehoss]

This is one i like. newer but still very well done.

my faverite has to be teh http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/what_about_the_children/
here for the children LOL hope i win too many games next year i have to buy LOL so mabye i might not be able to pick this up

[J3rome]

My favorite post is the very Halo Birthday post. It brings back memories of getting the best gifts ever. That kid is also the most grateful kid ever, even trying to give his dad money and the end of the video.

[Tron]

i'm going with "Known issues Ruin Xbox Live old Originals". I never bought the original Xbox, but i'm interested in the 360. looks like if i want to play those old games, i'll make a trip to gamestop and pick them up. probably cheaper that way too.

[Ma12kez]

Wombat's "What About the Children?" post. This is the best post because when he says, "I'm just here for the kids," you can't help but laugh; also it's kind of creepy lol.

[Technique]

Assassin’s Cred
Because it brings out the truth and because there's a funny picture of a rabbid.

[o2012o]

My favorite (and most sad) post was "Make Mine Marvel." Basically, I feel his pain.

[NateWhs152]

My favorite post of wombat is the one about the cagcast and how you can win a copy of contra 4. If I win then it is for sure my favorite.

[gunm]

Hard to decide between Wombat finishing Portal or "What About The Children", but I'll go with

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/what_about_the_children/

'cause it's video. Even if it's not Wombat's.

[GAMERMASTERMAN]

my favorite post is "The Internet; Doing Your Parent's Job Since 1995"
although the pic on Assassin's Cred was awsome :D

[goomba478]

I guess I'm the only one voting for this one, and as much as I like ya Wombat I really thought it was funny that a game like Zack and Wiki would develop nightmares about sleep. You're obviously a fan of the game so that gives you that much more street cred in my book ^_^ Good luck with the blog and great job to you and Cheapy on your podcasts. They're the best!

=JJ=

[solidsevn]

that kid almost made me cry a little, but I didn't because I was at work. I cried on the inside

[TyRiKe]

The "assassin's creed" article cause wombot is an idiot and a genius in the same article.

[Rig]

My least favorite was the "Make Mine Marvel" post: http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/make_mine_marvel/

The only real reason is that I am a pretty big fan of comics, and I was interested in a MMO geared at the genre.

My favorite is "A Very Halo Birthday," because that kid really loves his parents. Very refreshing to see these days.

[RyanTheGNR]

My favorite article was "Assassin's Cred" because it was hilarious how Wombat could point out the difference between the review and how they later changed it.Not to mention the funny picture of the rabbid.
Why didn't they leave it the same as it was before? I would find the statement helpful actually.

[vosos102]

I liked the Having My Cake post regarding Portal. It is so hard nowadays to avoid spoilers for games--Im impressed you could hold out!

[greyzieoriental]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

funny a lil

"if this guy is the hero, then people he’s stealing from must be bad guys"

[Master Shake]

Welcome to my Nightmare is my favorite just because of the way Wombat described the cartoonish snake and how it scared him when his leg fell asleep while sleeping.

[draqonwizard]

make mine marvel is the best post thus far...not just 'cause i'm a marvel fan *sobs* but because of its poignant insight into a game that will never be...punks

[danh]

Make Mine Marvel (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/make_mine_marvel/)


I, like Wombat, LOVES comic books and this is a HUGE disappointment from the EA office in Chicago closing that ended a would be fighting game and now this. I was looking forward to this MMO because his would be the one I participate in.

It is sad that Marvel, one of the best source for characters, is not being utilized in the gaming world and not even a sucessful Marvel Ultimate Alliance could bring in a sequel because God knows why. I hope to see more Marvel IPs that will eventually see the light.

[abudde]

I like the Win Contra 4 for the DS post, because I could possibly win 1 of 4 Contra 4s!

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/comments/win_a_copy_of_contra_4_for_the_ds_a_cag_ugo_joint/

[chakan]

The Hitman cameltoe/hidden package pic

[whoknows]

The one about the children.

That video is awesome :lol:

[bigriver314]

Best Wombat UGO Blog post is Make Mine Marvel because like Wombat I am really disappointed that this was canceled. It would have been the only MMO I would pay for.

[scarrickn]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/assassins_cred/

[KingBroly]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

We've all been thinking the same thing for years now, and someone finally had the guts to come out and say it. This is the best Wombat post so far because it freed us from the shackles of that blasted Ocarina.

[SkippyDoorknob]

I'd have to go with the Alarmist Friday article about smashing people's pottery.
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

[Hiro_Antagonist]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

For two words: Real Rupees.

[aihuman]

Whats my favorite Wombat post on UGO?Ahh...the one that tells me how to get my mitts on Contra 4.
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/win_a_copy_of_contra_4_for_the_ds_a_cag_ugo_joint/

[jman619]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/C645/

Mainly because it is marvel. :D

[Robjus]

I liked the Mario's phone call reminding all to downloard his game.

[mega_n00bzer]

ASSASINS CRED

WHY? because it has a rayman raving rabids bunny in it. the article? I didnt read it.

[letsgetacid]

Just started recently reading them, but I dig this one:
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/the_internet_doing_your_parents_job_since_1995/

mostly because it addresses something "real" as opposed to just goofy pics and other random (but fun) observations.

[Jest]

My favourite post is "What About the Children". Trixie gives me the creeps but Wombat is hilarious. I can't tell if he is there to support the kids, or to take a few home with him.

[Don Chubo]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

I like it because I liked the webcomic Wombat stole the gag from.

[Bartex]

A Very Halo Birthday (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/a_very_halo_birthday/) is my fav post by wombat cuz i found the video funny when the dad started yelling "Don’t wreck the box!" lol

[infamyRISE]

Its been said several times, but "A Very Halo Birthday" is also my favorite simply for one reason: The amount of respect those kids had for their parents.

As Wombat said in that post, the kid was extremely grateful and not a little brat.

Another gamer in the making with his head on straight and not a little punk who will mow down a school because "GTA taught him to".

[mcj2a]

Hitman or Hitmen? was good stuff. :-)

[pablo_vllj]

My favorite blog post would be the Win Contra 4 for the DS, because it tells me how to win that awesome game, but since that wasn't posted by wombat, i guess it doesn't count...

So I would go for the Assasin's Cred (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/assassins_cred/) one because I like reading about those kinds of edits and the picture is great , I haven't ventured myself to read the cake one because I know that it involves spoilers for Portal and I haven't played it yet, son I can't judge it.

[hootie]

My favorite would be the Assassin's "Cred" article.

Great read, even better picture! :D

[swetooth9]

A very halo birthday is my favorite one...i like the comparison b/t the appreciative and grateful, tearful response and the crazed lunatic response

good stuff...oh yea, and the present was probably for the dad as much as it was for the kid haha

[Justden]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

I choose the Alarmist Friday Post concerning Links criminal shenanigans. The kid is a victim of his environment, peer pressure and up bringing.

[heatdolphins45]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/mario_party_soho_grand/

Mario Party Soho Grand is my favorite one. mainly because I like Mario party and the pics are cool!

[Jet_Jaguar]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/welcome_to_my_nightmare/

"Welcome To My Nightmare" has to be my favorite post on UGO by Wombat. I'd hate to have those creepy Zak and Wiki snakes appear in my dreams. Snakes can suck.

[baxterstockman]

my favorite is probably

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/assassins_cred/

for calling out IGN on their changes.

[chodax]

Having my cake was still my overall favorite. I think I had the same experience as you while I was playing portal.

[dubbfoolio]

The internet; doing your parents job since 1995 is pretty awesome. The picture alone makes the post! The blog is coming along pretty nicely, Wombat. Keep up the good work!

[nadsofed]

Having my Cake. Because I love that game.

[UnderHero5]

I have to go with "You Are, The Last Starfighter (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/you_are_the_last_starfighter/)".
Mostly because it was fun hearing my friend cream himself after reading it, and wanting the game.

[Astrxs]

My favorite thus far has been "Win Contra 4 for the DS" Just kidding, keep up the good work Wombat. I have subscribed to the gamesblog in my newsreader and have started posting comments as it sounded like your employer liked to see that. Congratulations on the job!

Astrxs

I like Hot Dogs, too....

[seastark]

Having My Cake Reason as read in movie preview voice: In a world... where disclaimers and warnings are no longer used.... one man has the power, to not get spoiled.

[retrovertigo]

My favorite right now is the article "The Internet; Doing Your Parent’s Job Since 1995" as it talks about a site http://www.whattheyplay.com/, that helps parents determine what games are appropriate for their children.

I think it's important to parents who are non-gamers, because even in M-rated games there's a big difference between a game like Halo 3 and Manhunt 2. Both games are Mature, but the content that earned both games the M was very different.

For example, Halo 3's "appropriate age" is 13, while Manhunt 2's is 17. Which I agree with completely. May have the blood and violence, but it's not necessarily gratuitous in the way that Gears of War is. By the way, Gears of War's "appropriate age" is 16.

I agree completely with this site. I think a site like this really helps a parent understand the ESRB rating and determine if their child should or should not play the game.

[kn1ghtl0rd]

I'm going to go with Having My Cake (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/having_my_cake/) because I haven't gotten to play Portal yet because my system sucks and I have also been avoiding spoilers until I can upgrade so it's nice to know that Wombat didn't cave to temptation either. Maybe we should start some kind of "No Spoilers" support group.

Game Developer’s Theatre: Pinata Edition (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/game_developers_theatre_pinata_edition/)



Any blog entry with giant pinatas = win for me.

[arthurtracy]

Having my cake.
I was on the fence about getting Orange Box (not a FPS fan), but hearing the Portal story pushed me into getting it.

[JDUB X]

Playing Portal for Real

The Cake is a LIE!

[tidwell]

I'm going with "A Very Halo Birthday." It's nice to see a kid that appreciates what he has.

[Uni]

assassins Cred.... I just love the concept with the rabbids... and been looking forward to the game for so long so i was reading all the info i could on it

[Smuglittleman]

I don't know if I would call it my favorite but I can't stop watching the video in the A Very Halo Birthday post. Is it me or does anyone else find this video a little disturbing.

[cag1000]

"You are, the Last Starfighter" since I def love that movie and am a fan like everyone else.

[willc23]

Do you want to be longer and harder?

Good play on words and agree 100% with emphasis on easy but fun vs. so hard it makes you not want to play.

I'm gonna go with the Mario Galaxy Launch Party.

[morfar]

The assassins creed post - It shows how much money can do, its outrageous that stuff like that is edited away.

[kaw]

I like "Assassin's Cred" due to the clever play on words and interesting article.

[escapekey]

Assassin's Cred:

[Riptard]

My favorite was the bioshock halloween post.

[thorbahn3]

Playing Portal, for real because you stole the photo from CheapyD's Your Man in Japan fourm.

[mkernan]

My fav would be 'Having my Cake'.

[GLOCKGLOCK]

"The Internet - Doing your Parent's job since 1995" is my current favorite!

I liked this post because it is so true. I think that too often the entire video game system takes the place of parenting. People plop their kids in front of the xbox and let them play whatever, whenever with whoever. No wonder every Halo 3 game on XBL has a bunch of potty-mouthed 10 year olds talking about each others moms...

Also I liked the video of the kid getting the Halo 360 for his birthday. I know it wasn't a wombat post but it was funny. The best might have been if they had video of them setting up the system and a subsequent RRoD right after startup. That would have been classic!

[kvadair]

The best had to have been the article about the internet doing your parenting. As a parent and a gamer I am always left in shock about just how ignorant parents are willing to be about the games their kids are playing.

[voidcoefficient]

"Mario Galaxy Launch Party"

The article had a lot of good, original content and presented a rather creepy Mario costume (it's the eyes).

[theolliellama]

It's the alarmist Friday post for me. I've always felt just a tinge of guilt stealing from a family that lives in a one room shack.

[SoNiC1023]

My favorite post was the very halo birthday one. It shows how some kids are still grateful when they get things they want even though its hard for your parents to afford it like I was and still am today

[linkpwns]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

Luls, I love that one every time. I'd let Link steal my chickens.

[bkforyou]

Def. Wombat's "What About the Children?".

[super d]

The Mario Galaxy Launch Party. Original, I know.

[radjago]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/the_internet_doing_your_parents_job_since_1995/

If for nothing else, the picture alone.

[dopa345]

I liked "Assassin's Cred" the best. A good scoop on exposing how game reviews are not immune to outside pressure from publishers (not that it is a surprise).

[tyhana]

Thanks Wombat and UGO for the contest!

My favorite, of course, is What About the Children? (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/what_about_the_children/) Who wouldn't want to see Wombat, enjoying the childrens at Toys R Us?

[Jakhamma]

I just lol'd for real (not like when you type it to end a boring IM) at this title
Learning...I choose you!

[matkins]

Wombat's best post is from 11/7/07 "Foreplay Forever" because he gets a good burn in on Shipwreck. Why is he called Shipwreck anyway?

[PrarieD0G]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/assassins_cred/

Assassin's Creed. Haha, the picture is hilarious and got my attention. Great "hook" actually. Also, the article was pretty interesting; I would have never known about IGN's "cut and paste error" if I hadn't read this article.

[Unlucky97]

Definitely the Super Mario Galaxy Launch Party entry. Real pro stuff. I probably don't work as hard as you do and still didn't go. The fact you showed up shows us your dedication to your profession.

[Mogambi]

Hitman: The Advertisment based on the Movie based on the Game


That is my favorite post so far.

[Negronometry]

"Mario Galaxy Launch Part" is probably my favorite blog post.

[super_nerd]

Portal Insanity is my favorite post, because more people should have the ending song burned into their minds.

"I'm making a note here, huge success." Nice job on the blog Wombat.

BTW, the cake isn't a lie!

[GT]

"Win one of 4 copies of Contra 4 (DS)"

Sorry, just being honest, I never looked at the blog before this.

[yukine]

This one: http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/the_internet_doing_your_parents_job_since_1995/

"The Internet; Doing Your Parent’s Job Since 1995." I picked it just because of the awesome picture.

[Argive]

My favorite was the one where Wombat discussed Link stealing Rupees. It was a fun post!

[Johnny-C]

I'll go with A Very Halo Birthday, too. If I ever have kids, I hope they are like him.

[jer7583]

What about the Children? Because the video is just that good. Trixie plays it cool and somehow manages not to laugh at the loaded "I'm just here for the children" line.

[rockinaway247]

portal insanity,easy, that game is a great time waster

[Garfield]

Known Issues Ruin XBox Live Old Originals.

Seriously, why pay $15 (1200 MS Points) for a digital download that you do not physically own, when you can get most of the games used for 5 bucks (or brand new for 10 bucks like Fusion Frenzy and Fables at Circuit City). Not to mention with the actual disc, you can play it on both your 360 or glitch free (gasp!) on your original Xbox, as well as take the game to your friend's house and play it over there.

[GenDV138]

My favorite post on Wombat's blog is definitely "What About The Children?" because of that classic "I'm just here for the children" line! Also was cool to find it for download on the Xbox 360 marketplace.

[TripMasterMunky]

"Playing Portal, For Real"

- because that was just awesome, lol. i can just picture a bunch of japanese men running through numerous portals flying light speed.

[reicaden]

Favorite:

Having my cake

Cause I'll admit that avoiding spoilers is RIDICULOUSLY hard now a days.... and returning to finish a game that you were near done with is hard, with so many good games out now. bravo wombat, bravo.

[Xican]

Link stealing chickens for the win.

[Jerrek]

I'm actually really excited to hear/watch the commentary from Wombat and Cheapy about Mass Effect, I'm not sure if that will be on the blog or on Ugo.com itself, but the pictures have me anticipated. :D

[Falion]

My favorite is easily "Assasin's Cred," not only because it's a very clever pun, but also because of the hilarious picture.

[Wolfkin]

How can the any article with Bunnies Creed (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/assassins_cred/) not win a 'favourite' competition.

If i had to pick a number 2 it's be 100 Xbox Live Games (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/100_xbox_live_games_why_should_i_care_if_microsoft _doesnt/)

[magiic]

haha the Mass Effect one, the pictures are so funny. You all look like it's christmas morning.

[Autumn Star]

My favorite article was the Hitman Movie article because it made me laugh out loud.

[runedigi]

my favorite post was alarmist friday post about zelda

that is ironic

[shogun316]

Favorite post is "Assassin's Cred". The article was interesting enough (boo IGN!), but the Bunnies' Creed picture above made me grin the whole time I was reading it.

[OldKai]

"The Internet - Doing your Parent's job since 1995"

is my fav, just plain great.

[Hunter and friends]

As others have said, Win Contra 4 has to be my favorite blog post, although any of the posts with pictures of IRL Wombat have caught my attention. Mainly so that if I see him on a train in NYC, I can approach him and say "Hey, aren't you Wombat?"

I just think it's weird that I am older (not by much, though) than he is.

Here's the link to win contra 4: http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/comments/win_a_copy_of_contra_4_for_the_ds_a_cag_ugo_joint/

[itachiitachi]

Having my cake, it seems to be the most popular

[spoo]

"Wombat and Cheapy Playing Mass Effect Right Now!"

I like the pics and now if I know if you don't like it, it will because of that tiny ass screen they made Wombat play on.

[Shivy]

I enjoyed the "If You Can Make any Game Movie" post. Personally, I think Eli Roth might actually be oddly intrigued if he had "Portal" to work with...

Very funny article.

[usernameme]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/the_internet_doing_your_parents_job_since_1995/
The Internet; Doing Your Parent’s Job Since 1995

It's so unfortunate that so many parents haven't a clue to what their kids are playing.

[Kaeden]

Definitely the article, "Support the Gamer's Charity." It's heart warming to see some recognition for the young ones who aren't as fortunate. And I didn't expect to see a blog for it on a gaming site.

[easper]

Definitely "Game Developer's Theatre: Pinata Edition"—for three reasons:

1) It's funny
2) It's a clever tie-in with the CAG Cast
3) You spelled "Theatre" the British way...very classy.

Keep up the good work Wombat!

[GunPanther]

My favorite has to be

"Playing Portal, For Real"


There are just too many things that are not just funny, but pretty damned quirky as far as ideas go. Nice one.

[Ivanhoe]

I liked wombats "Make Mine Marvel "post
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/g...e_mine_marvel

Just because this was the first place i heard that the game was cancelled .

[shinryuu]

"You Want to be Longer and Harder?" (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/do_you_want_to_be_longer_and_harder/)
Heh. Funny little post with a humorous title. The article actually reminds me of my brother(s). I have 3 other siblings and half of us are competitive (including me), while the other half are really recreational gamers. Although we all occasionally compete against each other, gaming is ultimately just for fun. =]

[Admiral Ackbar]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/portal_insanity/

I like Portal Insanity.

I like the music.

It's for the good of mankind, except those who have died.

:P

[thesideburns]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/alarmist_friday_post/

Picture of "real" rupees + hilarious zelda post = win.

[xplaykid]

My favorite post by Wombat was about what to make his character in Mass Effect because i have been mulling that over as well. It's even harder than picking what to be in Oblivion!!! Welll hope i win that gme Copter 4 or whatever :) so i can play it on my Sega Genesis DS laterz.

[H.Cornerstone]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/assassins_cred/

The bunnies creed post, the image was hilarious and his commentary was spot on.

[bmachine]

Having My Cake is my fave, thusfar.

[Cursor]

I've got to say that this is mine:
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/hitman_or_hitmen_the_poster_controversy_continues/

By the way, this contest tricked me into reading all of your back posts, so mission accomplished. :)

There's something about that story being mentioned by Slate that makes me proud. A big, real, respected mainstream internet-media publication reads the same nerdy news sources that I do! It makes me imagine that there's a guy in some crappy Slate office building who's surfing the internet and looking for today's inspiration so that he can hammer out an article and then go home and play Gears of War on Live (my favorite online shooter in spite of its shortcomings).

[Gillespee]

My favorite is actually the one of the pictures of his work area. It's really interesting to see the inside of where the magic of a website happens.

[rywateska]

Having my Cake...Portal was worth it

[rewn]

HAVING MY CAKE gets my vote as well. good luck to everyone.

[Captain Freeze]

Having My Cake


But I still havent beat Portal though....
but i am constantly bombarded with spoilers on the net....

[bwilso80]

Known Issues Ruin XBox Live Old Originals (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/known_issues_ruin_xbox_live_old_originals/)


It shows how Microsoft is concerned about their customers.

[Gooney Gu Gu]

Wombat and Cheapy Playing Mass Effect Right Now! (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/wombat_and_cheapy_playing_mass_effect_right_now/)- Wombat looks like a kid at christmas in those pics.

[pelf21]

I like "Assassin’s Cred" just for the niffty title

[alongx]

Def. Having My Cake. But that's just because you're talking about Portal.

[Han Solo]

Wombat and Cheapy Playing Mass Effect cause it was the latest post.

[DQT]

I like developer's theater, though I think it is better when it's on fake internet radio.

[StealthNinjaScyther]

Game Developer’s Theatre: Pinata Edition

I love comedy skits, especially when they're this blunt.

[jesus0nvi4gra]

"If you could make any game a movie"

The Oregon Trail idea is golden.

[thadwhit]

Known Issues Ruin XBox Live Old Originals (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/known_issues_ruin_xbox_live_old_originals/), even though I liked some of last weeks as well, but don't want to dig for them again. Good job Wombat.

[StLRamsFan]

I liked the Alarmist Friday Post because I'm a Zelda junkie.

[BladeZ]

Portal Insanity... And now it's stuck in my head too...

[nadroj1485]

I liked
Portal Insanity (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/portal_insanity/)

Edit:Becuase Wombats an idiot, but i love him anyway

[SpreadTheWord]

Win Contra 4 for the DS!

It's my favorite blog post because it's the one that's going to get me to visit the site regularly.

[_Sin_]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/known_issues_ruin_xbox_live_old_originals/

because it had ruin and xbox in the title. I'm being honest.

[Rusty Ghia]

I've got to go with Do You Want To Be Longer And Harder? if only because I completely agree. I'd much rather a game be fun but easy than be an exercise in frustration.

[ELSock]

if you could make any game a movie... wins for me, especially because of the pic of the Mario Brothers movie art.. and Tim Burton's Legend of Zelda would rock.... i mean ofcourse with that said Johnny Depp would have to be Link...how would that work?

[Tee_Ken]

My favorite has got to be this one titled "If you could make any game a movie...". Who wouldn't want to see another Coen brothers movie...especially ones where your hunting for squirrels and finding out that you broke your leg.

[lurknomore]

If you could make any game a movie.....

why? not because of editorial comment or stylistic brilliance...but simply the mention of Oregon Trail, Metroid, M. Night, and the Coen Bros. All favs. of mine.

[nicz888]

this is my favorite
Portal Insanity

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/portal_insanity/

i like it, portal is my gameoftheyear. anything blog entry related to it is automatically a winner.

[drspock4ever]

i like the one with the pictures of the office because it looks like a cool place to be. all kinds of stuff to play and whatnot.

[qbkorso]

What About the Children?

This is my favorite, because it was so funny hearing you say that.

[zerowing]

The Zelda post was good and I was laughing for quite awhile, I thought I read something similar to that in a magazine a few years back. The comments are just as good too.

[Like A Breath]

"Just Say No, To Gaming?"

Why? Because I finally found someone else with a similar love of Wally Bear and the NO! Gang - and Wombat is both informative and oh-so-witty.

[ISHCM]

My favorite Wombat post?

If You Could Make Any Game A Movie… (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/if_you_could_make_any_game_a_movie/)


Why?

For the poster pic of the Super Mario Bros. movie

[MrGone]

I'm going to say "Game Developer's Theatre: Pinata Edition" because I love the biting sarcasm (plus I get a kick out of imagining of those pinatas hitting Mario Lopez with sticks until candy shoots out in a twisted orgy of irony and violence). Hopefully Game Developer's Theatre will become become kind of a weekly schtick.

[EnderA6]

Mine favorite is the "A Very Halo Birthday" post.
It just reminded me of getting super Mario Bros 3 for Christmas while my family was away from home in the protection program and we couldn’t leave the house without a policeman. But that’s a different story...

[flyers241]

Playing Portal, For Real because I like the idea of Japan having portal technology all these years, but never really getting around to making a profit from it because they're too busy researching and developing mechs instead.

[heyo007]

The Assassin's Creed blog. That damned rabbid is just so freakin' adorable.

[AlphakirA]

Having my cake - we're all so proud of Wombat for beating it...3 weeks after everyone else :lol:

[graventy]

Having My Cake. Because seriously, Portal is awesome.

One of the hardest parts about Portal is that even though the first 18 levels are pretty fun, they do not compare to the finale. So until someone finishes it, they probably can't understand what all the fuss is about.

[bardiya27]

100 Xbox live games! Why should I care if Microsoft doesn't?

because the whole article is so true about why XBLA sucks, and I pointed out in a comment that it was 1000 games that was released, and wondered why I was ignored, and realized how dumb I was, and that it was actually a 100 : )

[tehstupid]

news of the marvel ultimate alliance cancellation
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/g...e_mine_marvel/

very disappointing to hear since i was looking forward to it.

[cyko]

i've got to also go with the Super Mario Galaxy launch party because it's awesome.

[Mr Unoriginal]

Enjoyed the outrage over the problems of the XBox games because it is such a big fuck you to consumers.

[crunchewy]

Definitely Game Developer's Theater: Viva Pinata edition!

[artadams]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/wombat_and_cheapy_playing_mass_effect_right_now/

because of the cool pics

[callmesteam]

I'm going to go with "
Win Contra 4 for the DS! (A CAG/UGO Joint) (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/win_a_copy_of_contra_4_for_the_ds_a_cag_ugo_joint/)"


Since I'm a cheapass and my wife has been begging me for Contra 4 since it was announced several months ago. Her arthritis is really bad, she can't work her fingers too well, but she can handle a stylus, and I just want to bring a smile to her face... *sniff...

Though technically, that one is Rusty's... so 'Having my Cake' gets my next vote since it only took Wombat a month to finish a 3 hour game! He was proud to have avoided the spoilers, and I just finished the Sopranos this week, successfully avoiding spoilers for the past 5 months as well. We're all winners Wombat!

[CyberTrick]

Welcom To My Nightmare (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/welcome_to_my_nightmare/) is probably my favorite post. It simply made me laugh when I pictured Wombat flailing around in bed and kicking his feet as he tried to get away from the snake.

[rockwhore]

game developer theatre: pinata edition. Giant pinatas + Mario Lopez = hilarity

[aplusjimages]

My least favorite post is ”If You Could Make Any Game A Movie. . . (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/if_you_could_make_any_game_a_movie/)” because it starts off with “Normally I not the kind of guy that would read what most . . .” Come on.

[Wombat]

My least favorite post is ”If You Could Make Any Game A Movie. . . (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/if_you_could_make_any_game_a_movie/)” because it starts off with “Normally I not the kind of guy that would read what most . . .” Come on.

I have no idea what you are talking about, :)

Having My Cake (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/having_my_cake/)

Could not have said it better myself especially during this time of the year :applause:
-Shadowgram

[Princess Zelda]

My favorite was the Alarmist Friday Post about Link stealing rupees because I had had the exact same thought many times.
I remember playing my first Zelda game (A Link to the Past) and seeing the pots in the houses and wondering if I can pick them up. I did then I accidentally threw it, I heard a crashing sound and didn't know what to do. I looked at the home owner they did say anything. I saw them money and wondered if they would try and kill me if I took it. So, I took it and nothing happened. Since then I've stolen thousands of dollars from the poor chicken farmers. But now that I've written this I fell a bit better.

[ramatut4001]

Make Mine Marvel. I'm a comic reader.

[Bojizzle]

I liked his most recent post:
Mario Exclusive On Atari (in 1983) (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/mario_exclusive_on_atari_in_1983/)


I had no idea that even existed.

[Bloodbooger]

My favorite post is "Do You Want To Be Longer and Harder?" Posted on 11/02, only because I used to be a lot better at videogames before I had to work and pay bills. You're not alone Wombat, Ninja Gaiden kicked my ass as well.

"A Very BioShock Halloween" posted by Rusty is on the same page and worth checking out.

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/P36/

[MrNEWZ]

"Assassin's Cred." Aside from that hilarious Rabbid-as-Altair picture, I like that Wombat gave even more notice to what was clearly a biased review by IGN. "Cut and paste error," my ass; they got caught, and were forced to change it. Bravo!

The Assassin's Cred one is also my favorite. The bunny Assassin is awesome, but I believe came from Ubi themselves.

[MrDemonicAngel]

A Very Halo Birthday...just adorable

[graventy]

Having My Cake. Because seriously, Portal is awesome.

One of the hardest parts about Portal is that even though the first 18 levels are pretty fun, they do not compare to the finale. So until someone finishes it, they probably can't understand what all the fuss is about.

[Gillums]

My favorite part of Wombat's blog is definitely the MOTS tag. As for posts I'd go with the Ghostbusters http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/comments/are_you_the_keymaster/

[FoxHoundADAM]

The Assasin's Creed post, because the Rabbids are the greates thing since sliced mario. (Or if you'r Cheapy slice Merio).

[flybrione]

The one that really caught my eye and I thought was an interesting read was You are, the Last Starfighter (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/you_are_the_last_starfighter/)

I've always been a big fan of that particular movie and it was neat to get some history on the old arcade machine.

[ruin77]

I would say the one about "a very halo birthday" because it took me back to a simple time in life when i was a kid and my parents doing the same for my brothers and i. in a way the video of this kid kinda touched me with his whole greatful demenor. kids now a days are want want want... and yet he was so thankful for these gifts. awesome article with the vid good job wombat! By the way 1St time posting

[Prodromus]

"If you could make any game a movie..." is my favorite, largely because of the Mario movie poster, but also because the idea of an Oregon Trail movie is hilarious.

[Archangelrey]

The Assassin's Cred. Those Rabbids are everywhere these days. There should also be a Naruto Rabbid soon I hope.

[ZForce915]

Mario Exclusive On Atari (in 1983)

I love me some old school gaming. Keep up the good work Wombat.

[Apokolypz84]

What About the Children?

That vid is just too funny.

[ElJeffA]

I liked the Alarmist Friday Post with link. Nice to see wombat humor in written form.

[jpmaris]

For me, it was the Super Mario Galaxy Launch Party (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/super_mario_galaxy_launch_party/), which saw Wombat unleash his heretofore unrevealed photography skills. An actual camera! To take actual pictures! What will he think of next?!?

[Slayzz]

What About the Children?

The video was very entertaining and I like Wombat's witty response.

[tekjet]

Here's my favorite:

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/mario_exclusive_on_atari_in_1983/#When:13:34:00Z

I just think it's funny. Does Wombat read these after he's written them?

"Yet, the most interesting this about this clip is how much the industry has changed..."
"Hopefully, I will still be around 25 years from to now to posting a follow up to this."

-Tekjet :applause:

[Rooster752]

I love the mario atari commerical post. So, i will go with that.

[franky1029]

Alarmest Friday Post is my favorite of Wombat's post. It is exactly what I have been thinking about my favorite hero for years. Bravo to Wombat for voicing my own personal thoughts.

Franky1029

[Baron O Hell]

Worst was "Having My Cake" because I haven't finished portal yet.

best was "Assassin’s Cred" I like the bunny


On a side note you should put up wallpaper sized images in a download section or somethingl Many of your posts have images I want as a backgound.

[ElfAngel7]

Assassin's Cred, since it features a Rabbid and anything with a Rabbid is gold.

[calmdude95]

My favorite aritcle is "What about the children" because I laugh my ass off when I first saw it.

[dpac]

I have been known to enjoy Wombat's comic sensibilities, but it's his sincere post on the recent Marvel cancellation(s) that's resounded with me the most so far. I've also greatly enjoyed Marvel Ultimate Alliance and am flabbergasted that a (likely labor-intensive and improved) next-gen sequel is not in the offing. Replaying the game to unlock more "stuff" is actually pretty fun for this fan of the Marvel universe; I just wish some kind of related new gaming experience could be had. (More of the current CAG Foreplay prize, anyone? Or Marvel vs. Capcom 2 as a downloadable Xbox Original?)

[darthbudge]

Win Contra 4 for the DS!

Who doesn't love free stuff? Especially kickass free stuff.

[aallman72]

Wombat and Cheapy Playing Mass Effect Right Now!

Its cool to see pics of the office and Wombat on the job.

[Jimbo Slice]

I like the Link chicken stealing post, pretty funny

[PleasantOne]

The Alarmist Friday Post, because I love sarcasm, and I can see someone actually complaining about that in this day and age. I bet all those years of playing Zelda games has led to to assault countless breakable vessels, hasn't it, Wombat? HASN'T IT!?

Someone alert the ESRB! This is a travesty...

The pic of the Assasin Rabbid was great too. The rabbids are so freakin' cute ;)

[Thebostonrag]

Hands down: The Internet; doing your parents job since 1993. The headline was so hilarious, I'll forgive the semicolon misuse.

It was funny, because that's almost how things are these days, you know?

[MrBoss]

I like: (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/cagcast_96_is_on_the_air/)
CAGcast 96 Is On The Air (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/cagcast_96_is_on_the_air/)
http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/cagcast_96_is_on_the_air/

Main reason: I like reading Gaming news and being able to see that the CAGcast is posted as well. Saves time at work ;). Now I can plan what to do with my afternoon at work (loading the cagcast to my ipod for the train ride home >:P).

[ryko212]

I would have to say my favorite post is the following post:
"The Internet; Doing Your Parent's Job Since 1995".

Hilarious in title and reading that parents will trust other supposed parents to rate the age limits on games is also funny.

[mundione]

Hitman: The Advertisement based on the Movie based on the Game would have to be one of my favorite posts.
I am a fan of the series and am looking forword to seeing the movie, but I'm hoping they don't butcher his character very much to appease the mass audiences.

[devilmaycry218]

Definitely "A Very Halo Birthday" is my favorite. It's the most sincere reaction I've seen out of a kid in a long time and really tugs at the ol' heartstrings....good find Wombat.

[PawnTakesKing]

I'm going to buck the trend and list my LEAST favorite post: "Girl on Girl Action (Not Mass Effect Related)."

The fact that it's about one of the worst shows on television doesn't make it bad, nor does the fact that Guitar Hero gets yet another TV spot. No, what makes this article horrid is that it's the worst butchering of the English language I've ever read. Seriously, Wombat...don't you guys edit these things before you post them? There are sentence fragments, incomplete thoughts, and rampant punctuation everywhere.

What happened to your interns?

[nny77713]

Win Contra 4 for the DS! (A CAG/UGO Joint)

This will be my favorite post if I win, but my least favorite if I lose.

[phear3d]

i LOL'ed when i saw this. this proves that japan is way cooler than america. this time they thought about it first

[Yoohoo1231]

My favorite post of Wombat's is the one about winning Contra 4 for the DS, because I like free crap.

Buzz Aldrin Rides the Vomit Comet with Mario (http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/buzz_aldrin_rides_the_vomit_comet_with_mario/)

[chinitoX]

http://gamesblog.ugo.com/index.php/gamesblog/more/welcome_to_my_nightmare/

That was pretty hilarious. it happened to my wife years ago when the first Tomb Raider came out. She had nightmares of big guns and back problems.
