This video has been floating around the internet for a while but I thought I would share. Mac ‘n’ Cheese is a Team Fortress 2 inspired video by a Netherlands based Studio, Colorbleed. Within a month, the video had received over 1 million views and had been received well from all.
Enjoy!
This work was found through one of my favourite sites on the internet. A New Hype (anewhype.dk for those of you wondering). Enjoy!
These portraits were done by Swedish artist Andreas Englund to show the world the “not so perfect superhero”

All of the ballsrog.com writers have pooled their collective ideas together to create this awesome feature. Each writer has written a short piece about what their dream game would be.
Ballsrog: UGH!! my fav dream game would be the choice making of mass effect with the level up ness of fallout 3 with the fighting style of soul calibur or street fighter! it would have to be a open world sandbox skyrim world! with tons of humping… tons of it! it would be called Ballsout free! the game!
Dustin: I’ve had an idea for a game on the old mindgrapes for years now. Imagine an RPG in which has no NPC’s… you could literally draft any person you meet into the game, from warriors to shopkeepers to quest givers. A lot of these folks would be useless, of course, but you might be surprised to find that the eight year old girl playing with dolls in her parent’s house has the potential to grow into a powerful mage, or the old man getting drunk at the bar can train your knights to level up faster. Different choices would drastically affect the outcome of the game to the point where my character’s love interest might be the final villain of someone else’s game. The final confrontation could be a Final Fantasy style group of four heroes taking on the villain or even a Dynasty Warriors type of thing in which you’ve drafted hundreds of folks into an army to storm the castle. I could play that game and nothing else for the rest of my life.
ShinyMetalDude: Tron is one of my favourite movies. The world has always seened awesome to me and I would love to see a really good game set in that world. I was thinking that an Arkham Asylum type of game would be great. The game would have awesome fighting mechanics that make you always want to keep playing, and a great story, combined with the awesome visuals of the grid. It would be pretty much be like Arkham City but set in the Tron world. So pretty much, awesome fighting mecahnics, really cool puzzles, a nice story and really good exploration.
Also, this is probably cheating but there is another game I really want made. It’s titled “Nazi Hipsters Must Die”, a 16-bit brawler where you go around beating up Nazi hipsters. It would have awesome graphics and some of the best music around.
Spector Shepard: As I recall, theres a missing article about The Chip Maestro floating about some where. So my dream game is a mash up of all my favorite NES games. It’s a Total 8 bit side scrolling action, 3D, RPG, first person shooter, with tons of upgrades, many many kinds of customizing going on. Build your own guy stuff. Perhaps I could also play any NES guy I like super smash bro’s but better. The backround would be very lush with true 8 bit depth. Many secret worlds with lots of glitching and plenty of contra style codes. I would also want this game to be played just like the Chip Maestro, and use it to make music, with a midi or usb out cable,, so the midi notes can be played on a keyboard controller.
Vidyagamer: I would love a day where gamers can play together, no matter what
system they own. My dream game is a cross platform, multiplayer action
RPG with shooter elements. Think like a mix between fallout 3 and
borderlands. I would love to see an aspect where you could see what
missions your friends are doing, and drop into their games and help
them if you have the same mission. Something like 4 player co-op would
be awesome, but also It must have an open world, for optimal
exploration. Also for no reason at all except that I am mildly
obsessed with the badass look of them, there must be at least one
wearable gas mask in the game, somewhere.
WeskerJ: My game would be an old style Resident Evil game done in HD, with the setting of Re2 and 3, called Resident Evil: HD. The game would be made by Capcom of course and released on the Psn or in retail. The game would feature the full cast from those past games, to join the games together as one. Tank controls would be present with the addition of moving/strafing with shooting. The camera would be fixed just like the classic games. Art style of the game would be very dark like RE2/3 with high polished textures and the old run down town as the classic setting. The game would have a real sense of classic survival horror with zero odds and limited ammunition and be would be 25+ hrs long. It would feature a full out classic mercenaries mode with leader boards and tons of replayability all around. The Trophy set would be extensive and a trick or treat to platinum.
The Jaded Gamer: My perfect game would be a perfect storm of a horror game. It would be a joint development by Team Silent and Tecmo starring a seventeen year old female protagonist who is unlikable. Maybe she is mean, stupid or just a bitch but I would love a survival horror title starring a protagonist I couldn’t stand. Don’t ask me why I would want to play as a protagonist I didn’t like, that is up to the developers. The plot is kept to a minimal. Girl goes driving and gets lost on empty streets. No people, just monsters. Despite being unlikable, the protagonist is brilliant and will be able to learn new combat moves the more she practices new abilities. The hook to this horror game is that the protagonist is at heart an innocent seventeen year old gymnast. So all her survival skills stem from being able to swiftly free run up and around the environment. Having an ability like that would make traversing the environment more fun. I think those developers would make a great free running survival horror masterpiece.
ThreePac Hunta: Shit son, I’m all about makin’ the ultimate FPS up here. The game would be all like CoD but instead of fighting the same maps and the same rules every time, you could have a full on god damn war that updates every week! Like you choose a side to begin with, then you go out and start fightin’ the enemy like a boss, and whoever wins each week is like “I’m killin your ass!” and the next week the frontline moves closer to the loser’s base. The losing team has to do blow-up-the-superweapon missions, Return of the Jedi style, and the winning team has to do make-a-bunch-more-orphans missions to push on the attack. Each year is like a season and at the end one side wins in a fucking Super Bowl sized final mission. Winners get some kind of loot for the next season, and the losers get to look on with envy. Because fuck them.
Here at ballsrog.com, we like to look back at the things we’ve done. So I decided to pull a classic Ballsrog video out of the metaphorical vault. Today we have Ballsrog’s review of 3D Dot Game Heroes. A 3D Zelda game, that isn’t actually Zelda.
Enjoy

Recently, I have become quite a bit of an art and design junkie. Up until 2am in the morning clicking on the next page in that gallery. Since the site had a slight redesign I thought it would be best to share some of the coolest stuff I had found.
This week’s exhibition is from artist Michael B. Myers aka. Drawsgood. This is some of the work he did for “High Score Society”, head over to that site if you want to get a shirt, or you can visit drawsgood.com to find more of his amazing work.

At Ballsrog.com, we don’t always plan our week ahead of time. But when we do, we prefer Hennessy.
Whaddup, nerds?
Yeah, we haven’t updated as often as we’ve meant to. Which is why I’m doing this. Hopefully, telling you ahead of time what we’re planning will force us to do some updates. So here’s what to expect this week, bitches!
What do you think? Excited? Comment below or check out the new Message Boards above!
Dustin out!
Pokémon has always been a game that I’ve been quick to jump onto when it comes out. This was not the case with Heart Gold/Soul Silver, so I was looking to see what had been improved from Platinum. My expectations were set rather high, this being the next generation of Pokémon games.
Feed… whatever that is…
