It’s like Red Dead Redemption meets Mario! :D
I wish Nintendo would do something really daring and try something crazy like re-inventing Mario with this kind of art-style. Wouldn’t that be awesome?! I think they should try it at least once!

Song of the Day – Chance (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Intermission Album
Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Chance from their 2000 album Intermission: The Greatest Hits. This is track #17 of 19.
Chance (Along with Sugarcoat It) are among the two newest DC Talk songs ever recorded, on what is DC Talk’s final album Intermission: The Greatest Hits, released in 2000. This album featured two all-new songs, and Chance is an absolutely great song. I love the sound. And it really makes you long for an all-new album from this awesome group.
Chance DC Talk Song Lyrics
People watching, every life a mystery
Sunny faces, but you know the stories incomplete
Satisfaction, seems a million miles away
So I’m moving to another state of mind
I’m believing there’s no better place or better time
Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance
Little sister, put aside your fear and breath
In the secret, do you hear the voice of heaven (sayin’)
Come together, hope is stronger than it seems
Where your standing there’s no running out on love
Only human, but you’ve set your eyes on the things above
Everyday we live, there’s a chance to give
Every time we speak, there’s a chance for peace
Everyday we live, there’s a chance
A chance for you, a chance for me
A chance to serve, in a time of need
A chance to live, a chance to tell
A chance to lose yourself (for somebody else)

About DC Talk Month
March 2013 is dedicated to the Christian rock pioneers DC Talk, arguably my favorite Christian CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) rock band and follows January 2013 which was Demon Hunter Month and February 2013 which was Becoming the Archetype Month. March will feature songs from most of dc Talk’s discography (1992’s Free At Last, 1995’s Jesus Freak, 1998’s Supernatural and 2000’s Intermission) featured daily throughout the month, one a day.

2013 Capcom Arcade Cabinet Game Release Schedule (Xbox 360, PS3)
Capcom Arcade Cabinet is a Capcom arcade videogame platform for Xbox Live (Xbox 360) and PlayStation Network (PS3) that allows gamers to purchase multiple retro Capcom arcade games that can then be played on the platform. Initially only arcade titles from the 80s will be available, but Capcom hopes to continue to grow the platform with new arcade releases in the months (and hopefully years) to come.
Not only do you get to play legitimate arcade games from Capcom’s back-catalog via Capcom Arcade Cabinet, but you’ll also be able to unlock bonuses and extras for every arcade game, earn Achievements and Trophies, play certain arcade games online, upload your gameplay video to youtube or take screenshots and share them with friends directly from the platform, access and compete on online Leaderboards, and change dip-switches that allow you to increase or decrease difficulty, or access cheats like infinite lives. Capcom promises that all of these arcade games won’t just be ROM-dumps, but will be updated in certain ways above what you can find via online ROM’s and emulators like MAME.
In fact each and every game will include some mix of: HD graphics and optimization, online multiplayer, leaderboards, unlockable rewards and multimedia extras.
Additionally, Black Tiger will be avaiable for free for those who want to test out the service and download Capcom Arcade Cabinet, and people who purchase every game or pack will be offered a special two-game bonus pack to add to their collection.
Capcom Arcade Cabinet is available to download now, here is the list of upcoming arcade game releases.
I used to freakin’ love this game on NES when I was a kid!

This idea is very welcome but long, long overdue. Even so, I am glad that they have announced Capcom Arcade Cabinet, now let’s hope they bring EVERY arcade game (including fighting games like Street Fighter III and Marvel vs Capcom 1) to the platform eventually and announce the platform for more systems like WiiU, 3DS, PS Vita, PS4, Xbox 720, Ouya, Android, iOS and PC via Steam/GOG. It should be available for EVERY gaming platform. Especially considering that people can easily download these games right this very second FOR FREE if they really wanted to via piracy.

Austrian Death Machine’s Triple Brutal Album Announced (Via IndieGogo Crowdsourcing). As I Lay Dying’s Tim Lambesis Returns On Vocals For Arnold Schwarzenegger Parody Metal Band With Guest Musicians, Writers, Vocalists, Etc. (Impending Doom, Allegaeon)
Awesome cover art!
Triple Brutal will be entirely independently produced via Crowd-Sourcing website “IndieGogo”, which allows fans to help fund the Austrian Death Machine Triple Brutal record and get cool extras for doing so, including a Vinyl copy of the album! As always with crowd-sourcing, the more money you give to the project the cooler stuff you can get!
If you haven’t heard of the band “Austrian Death Machine”, they (“they” previously being simply Tim Lambesis himself and a voice-guy pretending to be Arrrrnold) are a metal parody band that is inspired by famous Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes (Like “Get to the Choppa!” or “Come With Me If you Want to Live”) and Schwarzenegger movies (Terminator, Jingle All the Way, Total Recall, Predator) that builds kickass metal songs around those quotes and movies. Throughout the songs there is a parody voice of a guy who sounds like Arnold saying funny things (as well as Tim Lambesis…. playing himself. “Arnold” often makes fun of Tim and calls him a “girly man”), including actual Arnold Schwarzenegger quotes and wordplays. The albums also features comedy interludes between songs of Tim talking to “Arnold” which plays on Arnold’s ultimate masculinity and overall ability to kick your and everyone else’s ass. :D
Here is one of my favorite Austrian Death Machine songs to give you an example, it’s Arnold’s quote from the movie “Jingle All the Way” and the song is called “Who Told You You Could Eat My Cookies?” Naturally, the quote lends itself to a Cookie Monster parody! Enjoy!
Additionally, here is Austrian Death Machine’s official music video for “Get to the Choppa”!
In short, Austrian Death Machine is AWESOME! You should both check out their previous albums and help them create their third album by backing this project! DOOO ITTTT!
I should also mention that Triple Brutal is the first album that will feature major guest stars from other bands, not just on vocals but musicianship as well and even on the writing of the songs. Previously Tim Lambesis not only did the vocals in the songs (outside of the Arnold vocals) but also all the musicianship himself. This time he’ll have help from guests including drummer Brandon Trahan of Impending Doom and guitarist Ryan Glisan of Allegaeon/Pyrithion! Awesome!
Song of the Day – Into Jesus (DC Talk Month. Lyrics Included) From Supernatural Album
Today’s DC Talk Month Song of the Day is Into Jesus from their 1998 album Supernatural. This is track #11 of 14.
Into Jesus DC Talk Song Lyrics
I see the moon, a million stars are out tonight
Gentle reminders of the way You are
A sea of glass, a raging storm has come to pass
You show Your face in an array of ways
My feet may venture to the ground
But You will never let me down
I can’t hold it in, my soul is screaming
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth and I believe
I know You’re there, I feel Your love through my despair
You speak the words that ease away the pain
My heart is free, my eyes are clear, my soul is healed
Now that You have got a hold on me
My feet may venture to the ground
But He has never let me down
I can’t hold it in, my soul is screaming
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth and I believe
(I still believe, I still believe)
Hey you, this kid is back
And I do declare the sun is shinning
(I still believe, I still believe)
Hey you, this kid is back
With a red alert and it might be blinding
(I still believe, I still believe)
Hey you, the kid is back
And I do declare the sun is shining
(I still believe, I still believe)
Hey you, the kid is back
My feet may venture to the ground
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth and I believe
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth, I’ve seen the truth
I’ve seen the truth
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’m into Jesus, oh yeah
Hey you, I’m into Jesus
Hey you, I’ve seen the truth, oh yeah, I believe
Yeah, I believe
