If you live in the LA area, drop everything you’re doing (seriously), and head down to Tempest Academy right now. This is one of the coolest looking Parkour gyms I’ve seen, complete with Super Mario themed obstacles and a foam pit! And the Tempest Freerunning team are amazing as they show off their skills in this video:
If you do go check it out, post a photo/video of yourself on our Facebook wall. We’d love to see you!
The Zaxy ladies ventured out to check out something AMAZING on Wednesday. A GAME TRUCK.
Yes, it's probably exactly what you pictured.
A Game Truck is a pretty simple concept. Giant truck, full of gaming systems. Not with us so far? Look:
Yes. "Holy Balls" is an appropriate response.
Four 50″ plasma TV’s, three Xbox360s, three Wiis and two PS3s take you into a sweet, sweet gaming heaven.
The games available are showcased when you walk in. (And for the parents out there, they’re removable, so your 6-year-old’s epic birthday party won’t have to include Call of Duty.)
Less than half of the gaming goodness available.
Game Truck drives to you and parks wherever: we played directly outside of a pizza place. Can you IMAGINE the possibilities? Park outside your favorite bar, play a round of games, loser gets the next round of drinks. Continue. Take a break for hot wings. Continue.
Game Truck also supports system link and has multiple copies of games, so when you want to organize a sweet Halo tourney in your backyard, it’s as easy as having them bring the truck over.
Zaxy may be in the process of putting together a Game Truck party, so stay tuned to our Facebook and Twitter for more details!

Duck Hunt’s getting old, and you can’t seem to keep Frogger alive. What’s next? How about popping this Halo cartridge into your Atari?
Ed Fries created “Halo 2600″ for the Atari 2600 as a part of the Classic Gaming Expo this weekend. Only 100 copies were made, but lucky us, we can play online as well!
Check the game out here: It’s simple to play, but you’re not gonna get too much done until you find your gun. Good luck!

Buzzfeed has an amazing list of the “Coolest Painted Video Game Consoles”, which got me thinking: How many people actually decorate their consoles?
I think if I had the time and artistic talent, it would be awesome, but I happen to lack both of those things.
Here are some of my faves from the list:
Mario Wii (Love the pipe to hold the Wiimote!)
Awesome PS1 (But why do people keep shooting at it!?)
Zelda NES
Have you decorated your console? Send us a pic! Put it in the comments, submit it to our Facebook page, or email it to tara@zaxy.com.
Oh, prom. A lovely right of passage that I’m assuming most of you tried with all your might to avoid.
Well, you wouldn’t want to avoid it if your date let you ride in this:
Imagine waiting for the doors to rise and let you and your date out. You saunter into the gym, knowing you’re the man. Beautiful.
This photo came from the Delorean Club of Ohio. I’m not sure if they own the limo or if they just like looking at pictures of it, but I would SO go to prom with you if this limo was involved. Just saying.
And in all seriousness, prom is a right of passage, and it is really stupid, but it’s good to say you did it. Instead of spending money on a boring, fancy dinner, My date and I went to Chuck E Cheese with a group of friends. And it was amazing until he got stuck in one of the tubes. We had so much fun, we went to our prom late, prizes in hand. Do something inexpensive and cheap that will make for fun memories and express your personality–have a big game tournament at your house before or after, or dress up in formal versions of your favorite characters!
Did any of you go to prom this year? What was your experience like? If you skipped out on prom, what did you do instead?
Robot Unicorn Attack, a free online game on AdultSwim.com, is by far one of the most stressful games I’ve ever played at work. Holy CRAP! I don’t think I’ve blinked in the last 20 minutes.
In the game, you play the robot unicorn, where you jump from platform to platform trying to catch all those rainbow floaty thingies and barge through all the big star statues. As time goes on, the game’s speed gets faster and your blood pressure rises. I nearly screamed at work after reaching my top score. You want to know what my top score was? Well too bad, because it’s not good at all and I’m still playing.

Every year, Disney hosts Star Wars themed weekends in the summer to boost their reputation and to promote the animated TV series, The Clone Wars.
Even though I wish Disney would stop with the weekend festivals and just go ahead and make a Star Wars Amusement Park already, the ads for these events are clever enough to make anyone want to go. Look how excited Darth Maul is about his rainbow face paint! Lawlz.

Seriously Spiderman. Call me. Let’s dance.

This fan made Street Fighter trailer is arguably better than any of the actual Street Fighter movies. Enjoy.

Here’s another fan-made video, brought to my attention by both Tekknight and Sesh_ . Which one do you like best?
