I don’t know about you, but for me, being Australian, summer means only one thing: the beach. Golden sands, clear blue skies, a blinding sun. And no game captures the essence of this better than the Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker.

In The Summertime, When The Gaming’s Good

What does summer mean to you? For me it brings back memories of playing boardwalk arcade games, barefoot and sand-covered. Of digging through buckets of French fries prepared in peanut oil. Of languid days that never seemed to end, until they did and it was always too soon. And of gaming.

Danny Fong applies his amazing vocal talents to the Pokémon television show theme song, performing not only all the voices, but vocalising the music as well in a stunning display of a capella coordination and shirt variety.

Laser Engraver Blasts Out Super Mario Theme

Well, not with its laser, with its motors. Hacklab, a Canadian mod collective, wrote some code to make it happen a while back, but it sounded a little too perfect. The guy who shot this confirms it is real.

Gemma Atkinson Xbox 360 Theme Is…Nice

EA certainly knew what they were doing when they cast English actress, television personality and glamor and lingerie model Emma Atkinson as Lt. Eva McKenna in the upcoming Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3, just as surely as they knew what they were doing when they crafted the new Gemma Atkinson C&C: RA3 desktop theme, now available for 150 Microsoft points on a 360 near you. I went ahead and made the ultimate sacrifice, replacing my free Dr. Pepper theme with Miss Gemma in various states of composure and clothedness. Nothing to racy, just good, wholesome fun. Going to keep telling myself that.

QUICK! Gemma Atkinson 360 theme out now! [CVG]

Xbox 360 Dashboard Theme Problem

Dear. Microsoft, I love the 360. Even though it breaks, and mine is currently making sounds that can best be verbalised as R2D2 getting raped, I’m enjoying the console.

But about those dashboard themes. Yes, I’ll pay for them. You knew it all along, so congrats. What I want to know is: why can’t I update my Marketplace blade? Because I’ll be wasting time tabbing back and forth, experiencing the sybaritic joy of Earth tones combined with the dashboard’s oceanic swooshing effect, and BAM! BRIGHT ORANGE!

Please fix. I’m sure that a Smackdown Vs. Raw background on Marketplace will not hinder my consumerism. Sincerely, Love, Waiting in angst, Mark Wilson
