Video of the Week: I, BrownyMaster (link to this video)
Team Roomba's first video, featured in Replay Couch 7, caused quite a ruckus. Now the troupe of troops returns with another fine example of hilariously poor sportsmanship in Team Fortress 2. Don't miss the latter half, where Roomba holds class and schools their team in a way you might not expect.

Rube Goldberg, Spartan Warrior (link to this video)
This Marble Maze-inspired Rube Goldberg machine was created in Halo 3's Forge mode by JDR. Watch as a soccer ball sets out in search of its goal, one grav lift at a time.

Retro Trailer of the Week: Final Fantasy SGI (link to this video)
Early eff-eff fans will remember this one. The year was 1995, and everyone assumed Squaresoft would carry its flagship Final Fantasy franchise to the next Nintendo system. After presenting this demonstration--featuring Final Fantasy VI characters rendered in jaw-dropping 3D graphics--at the 1995 SIGGRAPH conference, many figured Square was hard at work on a Nintendo 64 title. Tantalizing screenshots of the demo appeared in Nintendo Power. Surely it was a done deal.

However, rather than representing an early alpha version of Final Fantasy 64, the demo was merely intended to be just that--a tech demo. Squaresoft soon jumped ship to the PlayStation, lured by the comfort of superior disc space. The rest is history.

But as the introduction to Square's own Secret of Mana reminds us, history repeats.

White Mario (link to this video)
I have no idea what is going on here. This isn't a Super Mario Bros. mod, but it's not not Mario either. The character alone is perplexing. It's like Mario found a strange egg in a sewer, and when it hatched, an alien attached itself to his face, impregnating him with a Pacman that grew inside his skull, facing upwards. And then he turned white.

Whatever this is, it's certainly unique. And sadistic. And free.

Impossible Video of the Week: Mushihime-sama Futari (link to this video)
This week's impossible clip comes from a game that is equally impossible to spell. Mushihime-sama Futari, the sequel to Japanese developer Cave's vertical shooter Mushihime-sama, is an absolute beast. The official rules apparently prohibit using a single continue, and according to some random webpage, Futari--released to arcades in October 2006--may still be unbeaten under said guidelines.

And yes, each one of those purple dots has to be dodged in turn. From now on, I will always picture Mushimushi-ramalama Atari the next time I refer to something childish like Ninja Gaiden as the "hardest game ever."
