Feb 12 2009Play the Minutemen Video Game!
If the Minutemen, the '40s superhero squad of Watchmen, had existed, there probably would have been a mid-1980s Double Dragon-style game based on the characters. Right? At least that's the thinking behind the latest piece of Watchmen viral marketing, which allows you to play a simplistic arcade game as either the original Nite Owl or Silk Spectre. The gameplay isn't great, but at least it doesn't cost the $20 in quarters I'd spend beating Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

If you play it, you get to watch a new(?) trailer.

while this game is obviously so simple a mentally handicapped chimp could beat it handily, it is still pretty cool as far as viral movie promotion goes. it also reminds me how technology has advanced at ridiculous rates since the time that i was a kid and it took a big grey box to produce this kind of simplistic entertainment.

@ #4: Big, gray box? That's no way to talk about your mother's vagina! Hey-o!

You sound like you have a very good friend. My friends recommend me to website where there are 20 plus girls doing all sorts of things.
And what exactly is a "sports lifestyle"? Is this where you carry a tennis raquet everywhere you go (and a set of balls)?
