How Video Game Logic Can Help You Win At Life

Who says that video games are a waste of time? Everybody...well, everybody who thinks young people are lazy degenerates. But the truth is that video games can teach you plenty about succeeding in life. Here are just a few of the lessons you'll learn from all those hours playing Xbox, PlayStation and Wii U in your bro cave.

1. If at first you don't succeed...

Nobody beats a video game on the first try. Would you even want to play a game so easy that you never had any setbacks?

There's no "NBA 2K"-style rookie mode in the real world, but if you keep your goals in mind, you'll achieve 'em eventually.

2. Co-op beats going it alone

Video games are better with cooperative play. Helping friends triumph over "Halo" or "Borderlands 2" is ultimately more fun than kicking their asses at some fighting game.

The lesson here is that it's OK to depend on others. Acknowledge when you need help, whether you're stuck on a boss level or a homework assignment. Trying to handle matters on your own will just result in frustration and failure. You need a wingman, whether he's talking you up to girls at the bar or watching your back at "Double Dragon."

Is Shaq Preparing A Sequel To 1994 Game 'Shaq-Fu'?

Posted 5/21/13 2:00 pm EST by in Games, Sports

shaq fu

Back in the mid-'90s, "Street Fighter II" was the most popular video game around, and it spawned countless imitators...perhaps none more infamous than Shaq's "Shaq-Fu," which pitted the basketball legend against various supernatural monsters from another dimension. Which actually sounds awesome in theory, but not so much in execution.

Making a sequel would be as ludicrous as making a sequel to "Kazaam," but Shaq has registered a trademark for something called "Shaqfighter." What the hell is this? Could it possibly be a long-awaited (by nobody) follow-up? Geekosystem is on the case...

Today's Badass: This Guy Actually Makes 'DDR' Look Cool

We all love playing video games, but we seldom break out the "Dance Dance Revolution" floor pad...because we don't own such a controller, and have no desire to do so. We might dance at the club, but we'd rather spend our gaming time on the couch.

Even though "DDR" isn't our favorite game (ranking somewhere around "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic"), we respect genuine athletic talent when we see it. And this Japanese guy named Takaske could be an Olympic athlete, if he weren't so preoccupied at the arcade. Click through to watch him conquer two pads at once with uncanny speed.

Actually, we kinda want to see him play "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic" now.

'Grand Theft Auto' Radio: The New Soundtrack For Your Life

Posted 4/15/13 3:00 pm EST by in Games, Music

The "Grand Theft Auto" games have always had awesome soundtracks, and now you don't have to steal a virtual car to jam out. Rockstar Games has assembled all the radio playlists from the "GTA" series for your listening pleasure through iTunes and Spotify. It's a huge selection, so here are a few of our favorite stations for (virtual, we swear) carnage.

1. Get funky in the morning with Master 98.3 from "San Andreas"

Waking up for work or school is a dreary affair, so funk it up with James Brown and Charles Wright. Your morning won't seem so bad when you strut into the shower to "Express Yourself."

2. Roll up with your boys to 102.7 The Beat from "GTA IV"

When you're driving to the party or the club, nothing gets you ready to throw down like "Top Down" by Swizz Beats or "Where's My Money" by Busta Rhymes.

3. Bring your girl back home to 98.8 The Vibe from "GTA IV"

Something's about to go down, and nothing says "let's get it on" like Barry White and Marvin Gaye.

Video Game Weapons Now Allowed On Airplanes

Posted 3/7/13 5:00 pm EST by in Funny, Games

The Transportation Security Administration just unveiled a new list of what objects are acceptable to bring on flights. For example, pocketknives are cool, even though full-sized toothpaste containers are still too dangerous. But clearly our Homeland Security officials haven't played enough video games, 'cause some of these carry-on items could pose a serious safety hazard in the wrong hands, as our friends at Dumb As A Blog point out:

Pool Cues

These can be carried onto a commercial air liner with impunity. Sweet. Now here's a clip from "Fallout: New Vegas" that shows what the jerk sitting next to you on the airplane might be capable of if the flight attendant pours him a soda, and refuses to hand over the entire can.

Golf Clubs

Only two golf clubs per passenger may be carried onto an airplane, which would be more than enough for Tommy Vercetti, the street tough protagonist of "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City." In this (NSFW) clip, Vercetti kills about five guys with a single golf club, all of them armed with pistols. It looks like a seven iron. Hard to tell.

An Ode To 5 Classic NES Cheat Codes

Posted 2/28/13 4:30 pm EST by in Games

NES_CONTROLLER

Before "Call of Duty: Black Ops," before Xbox Kinect, even before the "Grand Theft Auto" series, there were just three simple letters--NES. If you're like me--a child of the '80s--you got hooked on video games by playing the original Nintendo. In terms of pro wrestling, while PlayStation 3 may be John Cena, the original Nintendo was Bruno Sammartino. The system is a classic.

We subscribed to Nintendo Magazine. We blew into our game cartridges when they weren't working properly. And we also entered a crap-load of cheat codes. So let's take a stroll down memory lane, shall we? Check out some of the most memorable cheat codes in original Nintendo history.

"Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!"

Mike-Tysons-Punch-Out

Sure, everyone loves kicking Glass Joe and Soda Popinksi's asses, but sometimes you just wanna cut right to the chase and take on Mike Tyson himself. When you're in the mood to go to-to-toe with the big dog, here's what you do:

Andrew McCutchen Talks 'MLB13: The Show' [Interview]

Posted 1/24/13 12:00 pm EST by in Games, Interview, Sports

Even as the temperature continues to dip outside, baseball fans across the country continue to count the weeks until the opening of spring training. Not to fear, Sony PlayStation just announced the latest version of their highly acclaimed baseball video game "MLB 13:The Show." Along with the announcement came news of this year's cover athlete, Pittsburgh Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen. "Cutch" finsihed 2012 with 31 Homers, 96RBIs and 20 stolen bags. He also happened to win the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger Award. Not too shabby.

Guy Code Blog sat with Cutch last week in New York to discuss his ideas on video game etiquette, and what it means to grace the cover of "MLB 13: The Show."

What rules of etiquette do you follow when playing "MLB 13:The Show"?

I only have a few, but you need to follow them if you want to play with me:

1) Always make sure your controllers are clean. I don't want to play after someone just ate Cheetos.

2) Make sure you play on the same level as your opponent. No need to show off, it makes you not want to play with them again.

3) No betting money or swearing while playing- My home is a sanctuary and I don’t need to hear the F-bomb dropping. You swear you are out.

4) No "pop-ins." Its rude and it might become awkward if I am playing someone at that time. Call me if you want to get your game on.

5) Don't hold back. Throw out the fast balls, make the big plays and come ready for battle.

Best Babes In Video Games Of 2012

Posted 12/27/12 3:00 pm EST by in Games, Ladies

The days of having to play your favorite video game for hours just to see a glimpse of a scantily clad female character are long behind us. The computing power of today's Next-Gen consoles coupled with the imagination of a creative game designer can send any man into extended play.

Whether these ladies are shredding down a mountain, battling zombies, defending Earth from being enslaved or making sure their own ass is staying alive to fight another day, the one thing they all have in common is how great they look in action.

With 2012 rushing past us, we felt like it was our duty to pay some respect to the ladies who made playing our favorite video games even that more enjoyable this year.

Tecmo Super Bowl: Where Are They Now?

Posted 11/12/12 4:00 pm EST by in Games, Sports

Most guys who grew up in the '80s and '90s will name "Tecmo Super Bowl" among their favorite NES games, and for good reason: it's a sports classic, beautifully simple but mostly just beautiful. Let's take a look back at the stars of "Tecmo Super Bowl" and see where they are now, 20 years after that magical 1991 season.

1. Bo Jackson

Lightning fast with an uncanny ability to break tackles, Bo was possibly the greatest dual-sport video game athlete of all time. Unfortunately he didn't enjoy the same success in real life. He never even played the 1991 season because of a devastating hip injury, although he was able to return to baseball. After retiring from sports, he dedicated his life to charity, including a 300-mile bike ride ("Bo Bikes Bama") to help raise more than $600,000 for Alabama tornado victims.

The Top 5 Coolest D-Bags In Video Games

Posted 11/12/12 2:00 pm EST by in Funny, Games

The world of video game characters is full of total douches, both intentional and accidental, but despite their cheesiness, some characters manage to achieve a delicate balance between coolness and douchedom. And before you instantly head to the comments section to defend your favorite character, take a moment to imagine actually spending time with them, and see if you don't agree. Then go ahead and troll away.

1. Carth Onasi, "Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic"


Taken from Carth's OkCupid profile.

Everyone loves Han Solo, obviously. Every kid wanted to be Han Solo on the playground (but some of us had to be CP3O). Poor Carth wants to be Han Solo so bad, but can't even pull off the parody version Bill Pullman portrayed in "Spaceballs." But still, a bad Han Solo is a lot better than a good C3PO. Read More...
