From the Vaults of YouTube

This week's YouTube review starts with the amazing Chuck Norris vs Super Mario Bros video.  Chuck has earned the reputation for being a brutally awesome individual.  You can see that implanting him into Super Mario Brothers drastically changes the game play options.  Thank you daneboe for this video.


Who knew that John Madden was into video games way before the EA Sports annual football game that bears his name.  Considering that Madden on really had to work on Sundays, I guess this commercial proves that he spent his off time commentating video game competitions.  I will admit, I would have liked to see Madden analyze the kids' gameplay with the overuse of a telestrator and the word "Boom"


It's hard to believe that it has been 10 years since Red vs Blue first came out.  The fellas at roosterteeth.com are a true success story.  Using the multiplayer mode of the original Halo game for the Xbox they created an animated series about a blue team of inept solders facing off against a red team of inept soldiers in the middle of Blood Gulch Canyon.  When the videos quickly became popular and when Bungie studios contacted Rooster Teeth about the videos it appeared that they would be putting them to an end.  But Bungie gave Rooster Teeth their blessing to continue the series, and even have used them to create commercials for their Halo games.  This is the very first episode titled "Why Are We Here"
