I was looking for some wall-fillers the other day and ran across this gem. It’s a fold-out poster from an old Nintendo Power magazine.

Sure, we all know what those orbs are for but I love how they are represented in this poster. The entire Ninja Gaiden franchise had such a deep and epic storyline and yet, here we see Ryu cutting up oranges with the Dark Sword of Chaos.

You also can’t help but notice that Ryu’s bicep looks like a very nasty tumor.

Shamelessly posting this because, well, we here at HammeredBros.com are fans of the drink ourselves.

If you’ve ever wished there were more internet-bashing 8-bit Japanese RPG games based on 1990’s basketball players and the movie Space Jam, this is your thing. It’s a pretty cool thing.

Nerds and beer don’t mix but the Hammered Bros like to stack their vices. Here we look at what beer they like to drink to certain games. Check out a sampling of mildly buzzed classics to the more trashed and cross-eyed games of today. » read more

We have compiled a video to show you what we mean.

Strider was released by Capcom in 1989 and was a relatively big hit in the arcades before being perfectly ported to the Genesis a year later. Both the Arcade and Genesis versions are considered by many to be classics. Like most games back then, the Japanese art for the game was much different than what was released in the US.

This track could have easily been my favorite but it turns out to be the worst and I’m genuinely confused at its existence. What’s awesome is the heavy noise and the fast-paced beat. If you like Drum n’ Bass or just harder electronic, you’ll dig this track. What’s awful is everything else and there’s a lot of it - the MC, fake crowd roar, inane rap lyrics, and the host. I want to see the host mauled by a family of tigers.
