Kermit the Frog sings "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails

Sad Kermit - Hurt

Add to My Profile | More Videos

I am a huge Muppets fan and especially love Kermit the Frog. I tend to think he's like me. Too nice, will freak after he's pushed too far and surrounded by weirdos who are the best. Even my Destructoid avatar is Kermit as a Jedi.
I found this video on My Space and even though its not half bad, I hate when people portray my frog as bad person. All joking fun aside, Kermit will always be a symbol of a kind heart and reflect the spirit of Jim Henson, a guy who never cared about the bottom line, just his muppets and the joy they brought to the world.

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix Trailer

Kingdom Hearts 2 Final Mix was released in Japan with all the extras of the US release as well as a 3d version of the Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories game originally on the Gameboy Advance.
No word on whether this version of the game will be released in North America but the above trailer does have some English in it, so maybe that a sign that it is coming to our shores.

Ha! Sony, you know you suck when your own stewards are playing the competion's console. Can I get a PWNED, b*tches!

American Dad Vs. Family Guy Kung Fu game

In the tradition of Street Fighter, American Dad vs. Family Guy is an awesome fighting game where you can choose any member of either family to fight with. There are even finishing moves and special attacks you can choose from. You can even play as Ryu from Street Fighter.

The game is a little slow and the collision detection sucks, but it is a free internet game so you can't really complain too much about the glitches.

Check out the game here.

Lost in the Blue 2 - click the link below

The original Lost in Blue won a legion of fans with its clever setting and use of the Nintendo DS’s touch screen capabilities. For Lost in Blue 2, Konami has worked to build on the basis of the original game to create an even deeper, more involving sequel. Once again, the player is cast as a young man who, along with a female friend, is washed up on the beach of an apparently deserted island. Working together, the pair must search for a way off the island, but also survive the many dangers that lay ahead.

The game has been designed to force the player into thinking about how they would survive in such an environment. Initially, this involves finding food and weapons, before exploring the island. But, as in real life, exploration is tiring, so the pair must rest, drink water to avoid dehydration, and find further means of sustenance – especially as the mountainous nature of the island also necessitates the heroes climbing steep rock faces and hills.

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Muppets

Happy St. Patrick's Day from the Muppets.

Hope everyone is well and safe today and tonight. I myself had a run in with an apparent drunk driver who couldn't pick a side of road to drive on and instead deciding to drive down the center of the road which in turn made me move out of his way to avoid hitting him and I ended up in the ditch after hitting the "Welcome to Thorold" sign. I'm okay minus a few sore neck and back muscles today, but my car is going to need to spend some time in the shop. Oh fun.

My head light is sitting in my back seat right now and my car is pumping exhaust inside which makes it completely undriveable. I'll be home tonight if anyone wants to play some Call of Duty 2 or Uno.

Everyone be safe and I know now I should have gone to Miami.

Happy 1st Birthday Destructoid!

Happy 1st Birthday Destructoid.com and Mr. Destructoid! Wish I could be in Miami tonight to celebrate but instead I wear my snuggletoid with pride tonight and have a shot in honor of our sweet Web site.

Everyone please leave a comment for Mr. Destructoid today and wish him Happy Birthday!

ROM ads remind us of a time before video games

Today I got out of the house and away from this computer for several hours to hit the Royal Ontario Musuem in Toronto. After several hours of walking around looking at dead animals and pots, my boyfriend and I hit the museum cafeteria to sit our butts down and get a snack.

I suddenly noticed that one of the ad posters in the cafe was reminding us of the simplier days before video games.

Free Swag for Gamers: Konami RPG Stars Site Review

Ever wanted to get free stuff just for being a gamer? Well some gaming companies like to create community sites where gamers can get free items based on a point system. Sounds good, doesn't it?

Some of these community sites are well worth the effort to collect the points for items, while others are just a complete waste of time. So let me do the hard work and I'll tell you which sites are worth your time and which ones aren't.

Today I’m reviewing Konami RPG Stars, a community Web site created to promote Konami’s line of role-playing games. Check out the goodies that await after the jump. If you know of any other community sites like Konami RPG Stars, send me the site's address and I’ll give it a look.

What is the purpose of this community Web site?

Konami RPG Stars is a community site dedicated to all the Konami RPG games. Members can participate in challenges, polls, and quizzes to gain points which they can use to purchase items in the site’s store.

What games is the site currently promoting?

Suikoden V, Lunar Knights, and Lost in the Blue 2 are the main games being promoted right now, but challenges may use previously released Konami games too.

What can members do to gain points?

Konami Stars provides points to the members who read the team message, comment on blog posts, watch videos, complete challenges, take polls, and successfully answer quizzes. Members can also gain points from clicked links posted on their site, new member referrals, and email links. And artistic members can gain even more points by creating banners and AIM icons for Konami Stars as well.

What other activities can I participate in on the site?

Konami Stars has forums and a chat room for the members to converse in, and also has picture galleries posted for members to view pictures from related challenges. All of these galleries allow members to rate and comment each entry just for fun.

How great is the item selection in the store?

Currently Konami Stars has a great selection of higher point items like a Nintendo DS for 5,000 points and some Konami games at 2,500 points each. But they are slow on renewing the supply of lower point items like books and posters at 500 points and the status achievement items that are given free to members who reach a new status level.

How easy is it to get store items?

Most items require you to just have the required point amount to purchase them, while others require you to have a certain status level only. High point items tend to require members to have both the point amount and a certain status level to order them. Once the requirements are met, all the member has to do is pick the item and fill out the shipping address. Afterwards, members receive an order confirmation email in their inbox and I suggest that all members hold on to that email until your order comes.

How is the shipping time for the items?

Shipping is only supposed to take 4-6 weeks, but I found that it can take longer. For example, I received my Suikoden guide book today along with several others who ordered it and most of us ordered them back in October, while the art book orders came to members after only 6 weeks. Orders do get shipped but they may take a while, so be patient.

How often is the site updated?

Konami Stars tend to update their blog, polls and quizzes every 2 to 3 weeks. The store has been updated only once since I joined in September 2006. The challenges can be updated as early as every 2 weeks or as late as every month. Profile points and statuses are updated at the end of each challenge.

Are the missions easy to complete?

To be honest, I have own two Konami games: Metal Gear Solid 2 & 3, and I have still managed to complete nine challenges on the site. Challenges tend to vary from taking or making pictures to writing short essays. Most of them don’t require the members to actual play Konami RPG games to finish the challenge which is great for members who don’t own all the games being promoted on the site.

Do you suggest signing up for this site?

Definitely, Konami Stars may not be the best site for updates and store items, but they are easy to collect points from and when they do restock the store, it should have some worthwhile items to nab at a low point cost. I got my book for 500 points, which any new member can easily achieve in one day from just commenting on all the past blog posts.

Hit the link to sign-up for Konami RPG Stars.

The Things I Do For Free Stuff

My Death Jr costume from Death Jr. 2: Roots of Evil. Pretty lame I know, but I'm only 35 points away from a free video game and I want it badly! I need it to go with my free strategy guide.
