Remember that time it looked like I was plagiarized?

I've never played Capcom's "Lost Planet" games.

I enjoy gaming, but if I'm going to spend time stuck on an alien planet killing things, I'd prefer that experience to contain the hyper-melodramatic-space-opera-bull-shit of Mass Effect 1 and/or 3 (Mass Effect 2, for all it's accolades, struck me as much too dry and/or self-serious).
Anways, Lost Planet has always struck me as the "Pitch Black" of space games, whereas I'm more a "Chronicles of Riddick" kinda guy.

Of course I'm probably the world's only "Chronicles of Riddick" kinda guy.

When I first saw the trailer for "Lost Planet 3", the first thing that popped to mind was "wow that dude looks like RA Dickey".

Then someone tweeted something, and I remembered "Space Jays".

So Capcom, I'm firing the first shot: if there are space lasers in this game, I'm taking y'all to court.

Angry Bretts

I think it's pretty obvious that Brett Lawrie like his cell phone:

I mean, the dude tweets about Swedish House Mafia often enough that at least a couple of 'em must've been sent from his cell.

And if he's got a smart phone, he's probably got Angry Birds.

Which is pretty fitting, because he's the Angriest Bird I know of (by bird I mean Blue Jay, not British woman).

And seeing how Angry Birds isn't afraid to license their game off to the highest paying intellectual property, I think it's only fitting that Brett Lawrie gets a shot at it.

The Lost Blue Jays 8 Bit Old School Nintendo Video Game

I had this crazy dream the other night.

In it, I was playing a video game on an old school NES. And that video game was about the 2013 Blue Jays.

So I jumped on ebay, poked around for a bit, and sure enough, was able to track it down.

I have no idea how someone was able to predict what I'm sure will be the fate of the Jays this year, but dammit if this doesn't look pretty accurate.

Except I don't think Lind will get as many at bats.

But other than that, I think it's pretty bang on.

Is the Man in White in MLB:The Show 2011?

Apparently those devious bastards at Sony Computer Entertainment knew something that the baseball world only speculated about. It looks like they've included Toronto's mysterious Man in White in the latest iteration of their hit Playstation game, MLB: The Show 2011.

Jeff from Saskatoon, an intrepid reader of this blog, sent us these images after noticing a white flash to the right of opposing pitchers, as simulated Jose Bautista faced the simulated Yankees at the simulated Rogers Centre.

Interestingly enough, when the Blue Jays face the Yankees in season mode, a mini-game replaces the traditional exit screen.
In it you play as Russell Martin in a game based on one of Sony Computer Entertainment's first big hits, "Parappa the Rapper".

The man in white is clearly visible to the right of the pitcher



Magnified 10X and it's obvious this man in white clearly resembles the Blue Jays' nefarious helper




I would play this game in a heartbeat
