So HD-DVD is dead. Sad, but true. And now Philadelphians are desperately trying to hock their XBox 360 HD-DVD player. Just to a Craigslist search. The results are hysterical.

Dwight Little, the brilliant visionary behind such films as Free Willy II: The Adventure Home and Anaconda II: The Hunt For The Blood Orchid, will be helming the film adaptation of the hit video game series, Tekken. Unfortunately, this isn’t a sequel, so there won’t be a long, unnecessary addition to the title.

I’m also psyched that writers Alan McElroy (Ballistic: Ecks vs Sever, The Marine) and Michael Colleary (Firehouse Dog) will be penning the screenplay.

And I’m speechless about the casting. Luke Goss of the 80′s Britpop band Bros as the lead?

This is going to sweep the Oscars in 2009. No doubt about it. Midnight showing at The Ritz, anyone? Let’s go.

Don’t ask how I came across this, and no Tim, it wasn’t because I was looking for hot n00dz of Lara Croft. Stop saying that.

The Accidental Video Game Porn Archive is loaded with hot accidental video game porn action. Lots of screengrabs from video games as old as Pitfall, to games as recent as World of Warcraft. The screengrabs from Super Smash Bros are hysterical.

Enjoy and laugh this safe-for-work pr0n.

Oh BS Angel, we here at Geekadelphia can’t get enough of you. If you’re a gamer, we highly recommend checking out her blog, Hawty McBloggy. We don’t recommend playing her in Halo III though. She’ll destroy you and probably leave you crying.

For Valentine’s Day, she’s made up a collection of naughty, mean, and sweet Valentines with video game themes. Take a look and print one out for your sweetheart.

Max Payne and Max Payne II: The Fall of Max Payne were two of my favorite games on the original XBox system. They introduced a gritty, noir style storyline to video gaming that blew me away. The best part about these games? You can totally score them used for less than $5 at your local Gamestop these days.

So you can imagine how psyched I was when IGN posted about the upcoming Max Payne movie starring no other than Mark Wahlberg as Payne himself. The film is being directed by John Moore, who is best known for Behind Enemy Lines and the remake of Flight of the Phoenix.

I’m really hoping this brings about a Max Payne III. Seriously. Please. Or at least film some scenes here in Philadelphia, so we can get some more paparazzi photos of Marky Mark.

Oh ThinkGeek, you never cease to amaze me with your products. Check out this amazing t-shirt.

With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, you can buy you and your beloved a set of these t-shirts. The hearts have little LEDs in them and light up according to how far you are from one another. You get full life from being next to the person.

I made the mistake of buying a pair for me and Tim. He was a little weirded out, and my 8-bit heart has stayed at zero ever since.

Little Something has… well, a little something that I want (get it?). Over at her Etsy shop, she’s making Pacman nose studs.

It’ll run you $17. Hurry up and buy one so I can send it to my girlfriend, who will promptly send it back. She’s more of a Centipede fan, but that would look a little weird dangling from her nose.

I spent pretty much all weekend in the Ikea here in Philly, down on Columbus, picking up new furniture for my new pad. Thanks for helping me move in Tim.

Pixel Party, an Etsy crafter who makes some wonderful hand-made video game themed art, produced the ultimate in Ikea Hacks. He made these out of an Ikea dresser that fell apart. Amazing.

Can’t wait for my stuff to start falling apart so I can do this too!

Assassin’s Creed. Easily one of the best games I’ve ever played. Ever. Intriguing story, fantastic graphics, and excellent, excellent game play, it really is a must have for any 360 owner. Sure, I’ll admit, the ending leaves you with the same feeling Halo II’s ending did, that being the desire to murder someone, but the 20 hours of stellar gaming beforehand make up for that fact.

While playing the game, you have the option of checking out different computer screens, doing research on the characters around you and learning more about your complicated situation. During one of these moments, there is mention of the Philadelphia Experiment. Yeah Philly!

Screenshots after the jump. Here’s hoping that Assassin’s Creed 2 takes places in Philadelphia. That’d be sweet.

Don’t even try to argue it. Brown Betty makes, hands down, the best cupcakes here in Philadelphia. Naked Chocolate, sure, they’re delicious. But nothing compared to the gloriousness that is Brown Betty.

Listen Brown Betty, please hire Hello Naomi. Her video game inspired cupcakes are amazing, and I want them. Now.

Check out Hello Naomi’s Pacman cupcake series and her awesome Mario series. Delicious and adorable.

Rumors are circulating about a Bioshock movie adaptation. We’re excited, even though we’ll have to trek all the way up to The Bridge to see the thing when it comes out, cause Lord knows this won’t show at The Ritz in Old City.

It’s a shame that movies based on video games always get such a bad rap. It’s understandable, what with the plethora of films by Uwe Boll ruining the genre (ie: House Of The Dead, Alone in The Dark, Bloodrayne).

Here’s hoping it gets the treatment it deserves, such as Christopher Gans’ brilliant adaptation of the Silent Hill franchise. If you’ve never seen the Silent Hill film, add it to your Netflix. It won’t disappoint.
