Sonic and Mario Implicated on Drug Charges

sonic speed

Sonic has been barred from Mario-Sonic Winter Olympics for speed use. Sonic claims he had no knowledge of the drugs, though he has tested positive for a Dr. Robotnik brand of amphetamine and could face up to 5 years in jail. Mario has fallen from grace also, testing positive for shrooms. Due to the arrest of these two main stars, the Mario-Sonic Winter Olympics have been completely canceled. Other contestants say that Tails cried all night for Sonic until this morning when he was found dead as a result of a massive OD.

Here are some of their responses:

Nathan: “That’s the game like Mortal Kombat without the cool, right?”

Adam: “What’s Tekken?”

Eric: “Personally, I’m waiting on Soul Calibur 5, since it has like…weapons and stuff.”

Michael Vick Ready to Pre-order EyePet

EyePet

Now that he is out of jail and playing  in the NFL again (if you call that playing), Michael Vick can go back releasing his stress in a violent, socially unacceptable manner: by playing video games! Vick has gone on record as saying he can’t wait to pre-order EyePet, Sony’s up and coming virtual pet game for the PS3 due to release this holiday season. Vick likes the fact that you can virtually interact with the animal just like you would with a normal creature. “I got to play with a demo of the game and I really liked the fact that the little creature never got tired and never stayed down. He was a real fighter,” said Vick during an exclusive A Button interview.

Team Fortress 2: Meet the War Protester

Team Fortress War Protester

War Protester

Type:     Passive
Health:     15
Speed:     50%

The War Protester is Team Fortress 2’s class that tries to send a good message to the kiddies by not advocating war. His weapons include a picket sign, a megaphone, and an unsteady but emotional grasp on the topic he is protesting. His main strength is employed on control point maps in which he can inhibit attackers from getting to the control point until he dies. Until then, he forms a one man picket wall and yells about how violence and imperialism are not the answer while using one or two examples out of context.

Biography:
A heavy drinker and community college drop out, the War Protester has taken enough Political Science courses to know too much about his rights and maybe one thing about global politics.

Professional Wrestling Game Spotted in the Woods and Out of Focus

Raw 2010?

On Thursday, October 1, James Gladoux was walking through the forest while on a hike with his eight year old daughter when he spotted what appeared to be a professional wrestling game for the Xbox 360. The interesting part is that the game was dated for 2010. Wrestling games, thought to be long extinct, mostly existed in the 1980s through the 1990s. The species died off in the early 2000s when everyone finally didn’t care anymore and stopped watching actual wresting on television. Scientists are analyzing the game to test its authenticity. Many questions arise if the game is indeed found to be real. Where did it come from? Why was it there? Who would actually play this game?

Follow The A Button on Twitter

Click to Follow on Twitter

The A Button will now tweet on Twitter about twits. We may even tweet just about twiddling out thumbs as a result of a twitch from playing Twisted Metal twelve times in one Twixt fueled, twin turbo charged session. Doesn’t that have a twang to it when you tweet it out loud?

Assassin’s Creed’s Altaïr Down on His Luck

Altair copy

After his 15 minutes of fame from acquiring a Piece of Eden by killing Al Mualim, Altaïr found it hard to make some cash. “Unable to actually use the Piece of Eden on my own, and with all of the Knights of the Templar dead, my assassin brother and I didn’t really have any work. Al Mualim was our leader so we didn’t know what to do after that. Things got hard,”  said Altaïr. Unable to feed himself from a dishonest day’s work, Altaïr started to rely on theft more than before to nourish himself day-to-day. “I eventually got caught got and couldn’t fight my way out of it. This one vendor had been suspicious of me stealing from him all month and finally caught me by having about 15 guards attack me and hold me down. I ran out of luck and I’m set to have a trial on the 27th of this month.”
