State of the Videogame Channel

"Kick. Punch. Its all in the mind!"

I have no idea what that means. I just know that roughly nine years ago, I played Parappa the Rapper, ONCE, and that song is still stuck in my head.

I watched G4 yesterday for the first time in a while, and they were talking about Parappa. I didnt know what the hell they were talking about, until they showed Master Onion and his Kick Punch Kick combo.

As a side note, when did G4 become the MTV of videogames? I never see any video game shows on it.

Last night, I saw that they were playing Star Trek, Fastlane, Attack of the Show, something about nice cars, Star Trek, Infomercial, Star Trek infomercials, The Snorks (okay, I made that one up) and Filter.

Its like someone suddenly said, "NO ONE LIKES US! PLAN B! SHELVE ALL VIDEOGAME SHOWS! WE WANT BOOTH BABES AND CARS FROM HERE ON OUT!"

"Oh, and by the way, Ms. Secretary, youre fired. I told you that the Caps Lock button is just for special occasions. Ass."

But I digress. Parappa the Rapper may have been a horrible game. It might have been a great game. I dont know. I just know this one thing. It has what

may go down as the greatest first boss song in history.

Im playing Gauntlet tonight. Whos with me?
