Overly Positive

What’s that? The leaves are falling off the trees? You can’t go out in your bright pink speedo and draw funny looks from the way your junk is displayed? Never fear, Case of the Mondays Cure is here with some neato articles to get your week going.

Modal Kombat Has Begun (via Destructoid): If there’s anything cool about group projects in college, it’s the occasional quirky one that is designed to integrate cool stuff with the assignment. Two guys have created a way to play Mortal Kombat with electric guitars, and while no one is going to be doing fatalities anytime soon, it’s still a cool way to blend audio and visual arts.

Palin-Autographed 360 Back On EBay (via Gamepolitics): Sure, she may have made some infamous verbal faux pas during her run with Senator John McCain for the 2008 elections, but Sarah Palin is still worth something. That’s why an autographed 360 signed by the former Alaskan governor is set at a cool $1.1 million dollars. If you don’t think someone will pay that, then all you need to do is look at the election results to see that there might just be someone crazy enough to get it for the novelty.

Hideo Kojima Has Real Guns (via Kotaku): …and we’re not talking about the fact that he might have a real version of Solid Snake’s silenced pistol, either. No, we’re talking about the organic version of guns, the muscles. Apparently, Hideo’s been pumping the iron, meaning that if you ever get into any kind of confrontation with him, he just might use that famous CQC on you. Headband and mullet optional.

Oh, and speaking of other interesting stuff on Kotaku, one of their readers, PShip, sent this little tidbit in from an NFL game:

Good to know geeks exist even in football.

Have a good week, people!
