Alright so this weeks Weakly Random Video is going all over the place.
First, I just want to say I <3 Burger King, or as some refer to it, the BK Lounge. I have always loved Burger King; my usual meal is #2 at our restaurant and is the Double Whopper with cheese and a Sprite to drink (although I prefer Pepsi products over coke). I love the taste, the fries are some of my favorite (although Jack in the Box has some pretty good ones as well), and there are usually some awesome tie-ins to movies and stuff with toys. Well, this summer there is a tie-in with The Simpsons' Movie, with talking toys (15 in all!) at $1 each. I seriously do eat this up (pun intended).
Anyway, to tie-in with Burger Kings Tie-In, I'm posting the Simpsons' Movie Trailer (released today, Friday, July 27th) as this weeks WRV, along with some trailers for two movies out this Tuesday (July 31st), Hot Fuzz and 300. Enjoy after the break!

#The Simpsons, #Video Games, #Nintendo DS, #NDS, #Platformer, #WRV, #Weakly Random Video

The Simpsons, for all it's amazing humor throughout the years, has always been one one thing in the eyes of video gamers: a much-maligned cash cow. Simpson's Hit & Run and Simpsons Road Rage were about the only Simpsons games that have done well in recent years, and those were just driving games. The Simpsons Arcade game is one of my favourite platformers, but really just because it's the Simpsons. But the slew of low-quality, extremely difficult (at least for me as a child) Simpsons games on the NES and SNES/Genesis were never very well received. Virtual Bart, Krusty's Super Fun House, and Bart Vs. The World are just a few of the titles which seemed to be average platformers with Simpsons characters haphazardly thrown about.
Hopefully, The Simpsons new DS game will change all that, and bring back some of the platforming elements of the Arcade game. Video after the break.

Remember when The Simpsons did that awesome house giveaway? Well this is even better.

In a larger-than-life promo for the Simpsons movie, a Kwik-E-Mart has been constructed in Burbank, CA, at the corner of Olive & Verdugo. It's stocked with Buzz Cola, Krusty O's, and plenty of Simpsons characters. Hit the source for the photo set at flickr.

#Homer Simpson, #The Simpsons, #Legos

I found this whilst browsing the interwebs tonight, or this morning, or whatever this is. Sleep purgatory or something.
Anyway, this 4 foot tall model of Homer Simpson is made of about 10,000 Lego pieces and took the creator about 2 weeks to build. It can hold a real can of Duff Beer (or Buzz Cola), and has graced the front page of Wired Magazine (for two weeks no less!) and was mentioned in the Washington Post. It's pretty decent looking, although at its size it sometimes looks a little funny next to a real person.
