This isn’t directly related to Nintendo or anything, but I thought I would post this as it’s just too funny not to. Ever noticed the swaying motion of a gun in a first person shooter game? You know, the unnatural motion of how a gun sways to and fro while walking. If you’ve played any type of FPS then I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.

Duke Nukem was the first ever FPS game out there, so it’s a no-brainer that they would name this Duke Nukem Disease. You have to watch this video!

Earlier, I had posted about Shia Labeouf bashing the Wii,  now, there’s another Transformers star who has mentioned the Nintendo Wii in an interview. If the picture or post title didn’t give away who it is, let’s say the person sounds much more adept and intelligent towards gaming, and is someone who’s picture I enjoyed putting on the site. Of course, I enjoy the picture more for the car as I’m a huge Camaro fan. In fact, the new Camaro in the movie is downright sweet!

Anyway, the star is Megan Fox. Megan was interviewed by WhatTheyPlay, and after reading the interview I hold a new found respect for the actress.

Shia Labeouf was interviewed by Big Download. In the interview he talks about his history with gaming.

I’ve been a fan of Labeouf ever since Even Stevens. However, this interview just goes to show how arrogant the actor really is. Seriously, who is he kidding?

Here are a few quotes I picked out from the interview that any Nintendo Wii fan should find amusing…

(BD) – What’s the last game that really impressed you?

(Shia) – Sid Meier’s Civilization.

(BD) – You play everything including real-time strategy?

(Shia) – Buddy, I’m a gamer. Not just the fake ones you read about.

(BD) – Have you checked out the Wii Transformers game?

(Shia) – I haven’t been able to play the Wii game because my hand is broken. I’ve just been playing Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. I would imagine that the Wii experience will be like… I don’t mess with the Wii, to be honest with you. It’s kind of an amateur console. I’m not into the Wii thing.

(BD) – What’s wrong with the Wii?

(Shia) – This is how in a simple way you can find out if it’s a gamer you want to play with. Ask them if they have a Wii. If they say yes, get the f*** out of there.

I don’t think Shia would know what a real gamer looked like if he had one staring him in the face. Notice how he uses his hand as an excuse to not play the Wii, but he has no problem playing the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3.

A lot of parents feel that video gaming is a bad thing for children. They say they spend too much indoors doing nothing, that it rots their brain, that it stunts their mental growth. You see all the negatives of video games played out in the media. They blame everything wrong with an abnormal kid with tons of underlying problems solely on the effect of video games. None of that is fair at all. Nothing could be further from the truth (ok, except maybe the staying inside part, but hey, there are worse things). I’m sure that in reality you don’t really think someone who hauls off and shoots their classmates is really the way they are because they decided to play a video game, do you? Video games just really aren’t that bad for kids.

Here’s a hilarious take on how Luigi longs for fame and respect, always being second compared to Mario. He did, however, get Luigi’s Mansion, which Mario pokes fun of in the video. You gotta watch this!
