I miss punching people in the face.

Beat'Em Ups, or as others may call them, Brawlers, are my favorite genre of video games.  I miss games like Double Dragon, Golden Axe and Streets of Rage.  Remember cooperative play, kids?  When I was a child I would go to the corner store or arcade and drop tons of quarters on TMNT.

If you are a fan of tech to any degree Marques Brownlee is one of the best YouTube channels that you can be subscribed to.  In this video he gives you six minute business lesson on why Beats by Dre are successful for their style far more so than their sound quality.  There's nothing new here but it's succinct.

PBS - The Rise of Webcomics

The internet has given birth to yet another new medium: webcomics. Moving beyond the restrictions of print, webcomic artists interact directly with audiences who share their own unique worldview, and create stories that are often embedded in innovative formats only possible online. Sometimes funny, sometimes personal, and almost always weird, web comic creators have taken the comic strip form to new, mature, and artistic heights.

Hulu Is Looking Brand New

I hadn't been on Hulu in a good minute so I figured it would be a nice time to clean up my queue.  Movie trailers can really clog that bad boy up, but I digress.  Anyway, I've always liked the site's layout, but it appears even cleaner, now.  Check it out:

Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Trailer & Gameplay Footage

According to Kotaku, Metal Gear creator, Hideo Kojima stated that Ground Zeroes is an introduction to Metal Gear Solid 5.

The original Snake, also known as Big Boss, is back: and he's the star this time, like he was in Metal Gear Solid 3 and several other games in the series. He can use a helicopter to fly around the world, going between countries and taking on missions.

We're also introduced to a suited figure that appears to be one of the game's villains. The character wears a black, flat-brimmed hat, his face burnt and disfigured. He appears to be part of a group called XOF—FOX backwards—and he calls his squad of soldiers "an army without a nation."

AppJudgment: Amazon Updates App & More

Plus, you can now use Google Wallet with whatever credit or debit card you already have. Check out the new iOS game, 10000000, that's a mix of dungeon running and sliding block match puzzles

Is Amazon Changing Digital Music Again?

Last year I mentioned how Amazon launched a digital music service & cloud player.  I was definitely excited to see a true competitor to itunes.  Originally Amazon's cloud player only utilized songs that you already had to upload yourself or song that you bought through Amazon MP3.  You can find out more details about that here.

Video Chatting In Gmail With Google+

Since the introduction of Gmail video chat back in 2008, many of you have told us that you love the direct, personal communication it provides. That's why we're excited to announce that video chat is being upgraded to a more modern video calling technology -- Google+ Hangouts. 

Unlike the old video chat, which was based on peer-to-peer technology, Hangouts utilize the power of Google’s network to deliver higher reliability and enhanced quality. You’ll be able to chat with all the same people you did before and, in fact, with Hangouts you’ll now be able to reach them not only when they are using Gmail but also if they are on Google+ in the browser or on their Android or iOS devices.

All Gmail users will benefit from this upgrade, but if you and the person you're chatting with also use Google+, you’ll get even more from the Hangouts experience. You'll be able to video chat with up to nine people at once, watch YouTube videos together, collaborate on Google documents and share your screen. Plus, Hangouts has a bunch of fun effects that you can try out...because any conversation is better when you're wearing a virtual mustache or pirate hat. 

We’ll be rolling out Hangouts in Gmail starting today and then gradually over the coming weeks. We hope you enjoy hanging out with your friends and family. Arrrgh!
