Evil Ambassador Copiozo reflects on Mortal Kombat in his life.

For those of you who don't know, I'm 27 years old, meaning I was born in 1984. Mortal Kombat came out in about 1993 for the Sega Genesis & the SNES (It came out in arcades in 1992 but I didn't have access to it due to my rural Illinois town's arcade had zip). So doing the math, I was about nine years old when MK was reached to the masses via the consoles. I had the SNES version and my friend Tony had the Genesis version. We were hooked and were the bee's knees of our Catholic grade school of St. Columba because

Coffee Table Turned into a Nintendo Controller

Here at Evil Controllers we pride ourselves on making modified and customized controllers to fit every gamer. So of course when I came across a giant Nintendo controller that doubled as a coffee table I was intrigued. The giant Nintendo coffee table controller was built with 100 hours of labor, and with $200 worth of supplies. The top of the controller doubles as a surface to the coffee table and also as a lid to a storage box. But the coolest part is that the controller actually works!! You can connect it to a NES and play your favorite retro games.

Jack Tretton of Sony states some harsh words for gamers, especially 3DS owners.

Okay so after finding this technology article from Fortune Magazine's online site, I think you can see what myself (and about 99% of the gaming community) thinks about this statement. Frankly, I think Jack just probably shot himself in the foot with this statement, probably thinking no one in the gaming community would find it on Fortune Magazine's site.

It's proof that this man (not the company)

Modded Controllers: Gears of War 2 Active Reload

Our Gears of War 2 Active Reload is still a strong seller and that's just because of how useful it is.

While other people may not have this advantage they don't call us Evil Controllers for nothing. It helps, but it definitely isn't something to cry about. If others want this advantage too, tell them to google us. We're everywhere.

Ohhhhh myyyy goshhhhh!!! Recently pictures surfaced on the Internet of one of the most adorably nerdy and creative marriage proposal I think I may have ever seen! Its always fun to see some great Poké-nerds join the viral internet photo and video gallery, and at this certainly was a super effective way of catching his bride to be! (Get it? Get it?) Clearly she wasnt resistant to his element! I guess he was the Nidoking to her Nidoqueen! Okay, that last one was terrible. Ill just post the pictures and move on.

Gamer News: DS in March outsold the 3DS.

Found here on Kotaku, the Nintendo DS outsold the Nintendo 3DS in the month of March. Sure, the DS had all of the MONTH of March to sell its units and the 3DS did have a smaller set of time to sell. The Nintendo DS sold at 460,000 units while the 3DS sold 400,000 units.

When it was released back in 2004, the DS sold sold 500,000 units in its first seven days here in the US, while the 3DS sold around 400,000 during its US launch. Smaller, yet most likely contributing to that number of

Ten Games You can Play Without Breaking the Bank

The debate is, I dont want to pay a ton of money to get a game that is just ok and I dont want to have to buy 20 .99 cent games until I find one that is worthy of a challenge. Yahoo found ten great games that can be found for under $10.

Technology may be pretty advanced nowadays, but I guess its no match for a rough and tumble, lean and mean…mouse? Okay, seriously guys!! That has to be a joke!!

This past Monday, April 11, I left Evil Controllers two hours early to be able to study with a friend before my CIS 105 exam (because yes, I did wait til my last semester of my senior year to take CIS 105). When we got there, I first noticed things were a little off when we were remarkably let into the parking structure for free – when ASU even gives their prized overpriced income raising parking for free, you know something is wrong. As we walked to campus, conversation was buzzing loudly around the W.P. Carey building about a power outage. Apparently, the power had gone out about an hour prior, and no one knew why or how or when the power would be back on. Some speculated the construction workers hit a main line or something, but no one really knew. Thus,

Nintendo's 3DS units in Japan, only about half have been sold.

According to this article (if you can read Japanese), when the 3DS was released, Nintendo claimed that 1.5 million of the 4 million handhelds were heading to Japan by the end of March. According to Japanese sales trackers like Media Create, there are a ton of unsold units in Japan. The sales trackerreports that only 836,000 3DS units have been sold, meaning Nintendo hasn't hit the one million mark in Japan. About 664,000 units from
