'Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World' Game Hidden on Fark

via Urlesque

Satirical news forum Fark is hyping the DVD release of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World with a secret (well, not that secret) game that you can unlock by going to Fark and entering the famous Konami Code from '90s NES games (Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A, Enter). In the game, you challenge each of Ramona's seven evil exes -- the enemies from the movie -- to a trivia contest, and when you win, you get a hint about the code to unlock the next battle. All of the codes are pulled from classic video games, from Sonic the Hedgehog to DOOM.

Scott Pilgrim Gets DLC In November [Dlc]

via Kotaku

Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game will get its first downloadable content extension early next month, delivering two bonus game modes and a new playable character: Knives Chau.

The pack will be 160 Microsoft Points, or $1.99 on PlayStation Network, IGN reports. The two bonus game modes are Battle Royal and Dodgeball. Dodgeball involves hitting your opponent with a large beachball, by throwing it, kicking it, or running into it. It's the only way to do damage in this mode. Battle Royal functions a lot like the pro wrestling term; players are on a platform, off the platform are various useful weapons. Go off the platform for more than 10 seconds, though, and you lose.

Dissecting what went so tragically wrong with Scott Pilgrim

via Blastr

Things seemed to look so good for Scott Pilgrim vs. the World just a month ago. The movie was generating huge buzz on the Internet and at Comic-Con, where banners were draped down the sides of hotels and director Edgar Wright led a throng of fans through the streets of San Diego for the first official—and ecstatic—screening.

Scott Pilgrim game soundtrack coming to iTunes next week

Do you wish you had the soundtrack to the recently released Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game, so that you had the appropriate tunes for your favorite exercise routine? That routine being, of course, beating the coins out of Canadian hipsters. The 8-bit quartet Anamanaguchi, which crafted the beat-em-up's score, recently announced that the soundtrack will be released August 24 on iTunes through ABKCO Music and Records.
If you're forced to deal with a small group of menacing Canadian hipsters standing outside right at this moment, you can stream clips from the soundtrack on ABKCO's site to get pumped up. Or, if you'd just like to hear a few more selections from the 'Guch, you can do so on the band's official site.
Holy multi-multi-media! The soundtrack to the game of the film of the comic!

Despite being a box office disappointment, Scott Pilgrim's conquest of the world continues unabated.

Scott Pilgrim vs. The Venture Bros.

When we first saw this mash-up of Scott Pilgrim and The Venture Bros. floating around on Twitter, it made our day. The piece was created by Annie Wu, a Baltimore-based artist and recent graduate of Maryland Institute College of Art, as part of a contest Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley held. She didn't win, but her work has traveled amongst fans of both series.

Scott Pilgrim's Debut Looks Even Worse With Context

via Kotaku

The first weekend box office earnings for game-infused movie Scott Pilgrim looked bad in isolation. Place them next to other gaming movies' debuts and they look even worse.

'Scott Pilgrim' vs. the box office? Epic fail -- and here's why


You'd be hard-pressed to find a movie as beloved by those who turned out opening weekend as "Scott Pilgrim vs. The World." It garnered an average grade of A- and it would have been an A if not dragged down by the small number of people over 35 who saw the movie and just didn't take to it. "Pilgrim" fans loved director Edgar Wright's loyalty to the books, from quirky humor to visual effects inspired by video games. Acoloytes were all over blogs and Twitter professing their love, and many are already planning to go see it a second time, if they haven't already. Nonetheless, it ended up one of the summer's biggest box-office bombs. Universal Pictures spent $85 million to make the effects-heavy movie (that's before tax credits) and sold only $10.6 million of tickets on opening weekend, far behind box office winner "The Expendables," which opened to $35 million.
