The folks at Screw Attack have released a completely awesome song entitled "Lamar the Magic Metroid" about the metroid hatchling and its many adventures with Samus. Put to the tune of 'Puff the Magic Dragon' (and you can probably start considering yourself old if you heard the original), Lamar is the name of one of the headcrabs in Half-Life 2. And yes, we know it all goes down to Hitoshi Sakimoto rather than the old master, but we love Gunpei Yokoi so much that we can enjoy a good laugh! Screw Attack is full of other great stuff such as this, so be sure to check out some of their other videos (and with a name like that, you can expect some Metroid love).

Oh yeah, and in other news, 1UP has posted a news article about a guy who is trying to make a 3D glasses projector for modern gaming consoles. It's got some mock-ups using Metroid Prime 3 screenshots you might be interested in checking out. While I suppose it's kind of got a retro feel to it, it ain't no Virtual Boy and this kind of red/blue projection for 3D has gone the way of the dinosaur.

Until next time...
