The Joystiq Weekend: November 23 - 26, 2007

I didn't see Optimus Prime when that video game out and I don't see it now.

you're blind. the door/box/window looks like a front end of a truck just like optimus price

I hope they changed disguises... if I was living back then and I came across Megatron disguised as a wooden house I'd be like "Hey buddy, meet my Greek fire..."

*m

That is one of the coolest Easter Eggs ever.

It makes me wonder what kind of role Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots would have played in the Third Crusade.

Haha, funny. For some reason, I suddenly have thoughts of an EE ending where that shack door turns into Optimus Prime, then walks while looking at the sunset and re-transforming while saying "Transform and roll out!" and then heading for the sunset.

If something like that happened on a game that has a timeline located in the past... it would be epic indeed.

Why am I feeling déjà vu...?

WOW, talk about camouflage.

Ahem....I always wanted to sing this

You got the touch
You got the power

After all is said and done
You've never walked, you've never run,
You're a winner

You got the moves, you know the streets
Break the rules, take the heat
You're nobody's fool

You're at your best when when the goin' gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You never bend, you never break
You seem to know just what it takes
You're a fighter

It's in the blood, it's in the will
It's in the mighty hands of steel
When you're standin' your ground

And you never get hit when your back's to the wall
Gonna fight to the end and you're takin' it all

You got the touch
You got the power

When all hell's breakin' loose
You'll be riding the eye of the storm

You got the heart
You got the motion

You know that when things get too tough
You got the touch

You're fightin' fire with fire
You know you got the touch

You're at your best when when the road gets rough
You've been put to the test, but it's never enough

You got the touch
You got the power

You got the touch
You got the power

Honk Honk!

Why does the Nukoda article keep hedging on whether or not this is an "actual" homage? Is there really any question that this was intended? There's no way that's coincidence.
