Unity recommends: Wilco (the band) plays Wilco (The Song) for Colbert

Not sure what to think about this new track as of yet, but seeing as how Wilco has yet to disappoint after a decade or so of releasing awesome albums, I thought I'd share this live clip from the Colbert Report. My initial take? Needs more Nels! Team Tweedy's new rekkid drops June 30, entitled simply Wilco (The Album). I already have my tickets to see them at the Berkeley Greek on 6/27. Do you? See ya there!

If so, please comment on this post with your suggestion for what the league names should be called..

If there's enough interest, I'll set a up a few over the upcoming months, probably starting in June / July and maybe I can give away Capcom games as prizes.

Mega Man 4 Prototype Scan Reveals Unused Boss, Stage Select

Author: Protodude
Category: Capcom News
Behold, unseen images of the Mega Man 4 beta hailing from Electronic Gaming Monthly's coverage of CES '91. Yup, pretty amazing what one can find inside old floppies. Anyway, onto a little analysis:
-The first thing to catch my eye is the top right image; an unused Sphinx midboss possibly belonging to Pharaoh Man's stage.

-Next up, the middle image: a beta stage select screen. Similar to the MM7 prototype, only four out of the eight stages appear to be playable in this build. The boss tiles are vastly different from the final build, that and the Dr. Cossack emblem remains absent from the center tile, replaced by Mega Man's mug--a possible place holder.

-I can't quite place my finger on it, but Ring Man's stage layout looks a bit different. Also, the Wall Blasters in the bottom left screen appear black and white. In the final, they are red and white.

-It might be the quality of the screen shots, but the rain in Toad Man's stage appears thicker than the final.

-The backgrounds in Bright Man's stage are completely different, that and the spikes below the Hopper appear bland and generic when compared to the final.

Well, that's just about everything I could find. See something I missed?

This is a little older, but none the less one of the funniest Mega64 skits I've seen. Nothing quite like a creepy merchant with a seven sentence vocabulary.

What're ya buyin'?
