Youtube user BigBangBlitz has stiched together 115 minutes of back to back fatalities and finishing moves from dozens of games. Included are Killer Instinct, BlazBlu, Primal Rage, Samurai Showdown, and of course the most notorious: Mortal Kombat. If you weren’t desensitized before, you will be.

A perfect video if you’re looking to kill some time (ha!).

@Botcon twitter account gave us a peek at the new convention comic by showing us a panel featuring the Trypticon Prison. The name of the story is called The Stunti-Con Job and promises to be a treat for Transformers Animated fans with designs by Derrick Wyatt (Art Director for the show), story by Marty Isenberg (Story Director for the series, and art by Marcelo Matere (IDW artist who pencilled the Animated comic).

@mmatere @DerrickJWyatt Here tis! Trypticon Prison… WAIT till you see the guards! 😀 http://twitpic.com/4jo26b

If they are continuing their plans for the show in the comic and if the Allspark Almanac was any indication, the guards would have been minicons. It is more likely, though, that we will see some other repaints as the guards though in order to include characters that would be included in the convention souvenir sets. We’ll know soon!

Looks like another somewhat slow week unless you are into Michael Jackson. I hear it is an Experience. Check out the other releases after the jump and be sure to buy anything you like using the links below! Until next week!

Remember back in the days when cheat codes were the holy grail of video games? What gamer worth their salt didn’t remember the Konami code? How about the Sonic cheat that made our favorite blue hedgehog turn into anything and replicate himself? Looking for the perfect Mega Man 3 password that put you outside the gates of Dr. Wily’s castle with 9 energy tanks and using the second controller to jump super high? How about punching in the ‘blood code’ for Mortal Kombat on Genesis, or the more cooler and useful “DULLARD”? One device, like no other, gave us access to an unlimited amount of game-changing cheats…provided you could figure them out.

Disclaimer: While I enjoy watching Mixed Martial Arts, I don’t keep up with it (or for that matter other sports) as frequently as I should. Thus, my knowledge of the sport extends little beyond this game.

MMA is the new Professional Wrestling. Of course unlike Pro-wrestling, MMA is very real and very brutal, and it has been increasing in popularity. So much in fact, that THQ teamed up with the UFC to bring UFC Unleashed to consoles, so it seems only natural that EA Sports wants to throw its hat into the ring (maybe that should be cage). While EA MMA isn’t perfect, it puts together a good package and manages to give THQ a run for its money.

The Halo series has its share of heavy military reference material. There is perhaps none more completely mystified on the human side than the Office of Naval Intelligce, or ONI (pronounced in fiction as “Oh-nee”).

There is no in-fiction date of formation for ONI, but it is likely an extension of the current United States ONI, originally commissioned in 1882. The modern US ONI has the stated purpose of tracking enemy and friendly ships throughout the globe in order to assess threats to the homeland, and is one of the oldest branches of the US intelligence community though handled by the armed forces.
