No, Adam is not a new lover taken by Z, nor the name of a beloved pet. It's the family computer released by Coleco in 1983 that played Colevovision games as well as...get this...games on cassette tape! Z reminisces about her childhood through ROMs, but is stopped short in her tracks by the man. Z will need to prove that she owns the carts to the games she downloaded or else face dire consequences. It's going to take a lot more than 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to help Z out on this one.

PBC would also like to note that our good friends over at X-Strike Studios are now selling their most recent cinematic adventure on DVD, Resident Horror. It's the sequel to the 2005 film Silent Horror (starring PBC's Brett and Darrin.) Besides appearances by Brett, Darrin, and Chad in the movie, there is also a PBC short in the special features of the DVD. 'The Room' is a horror/comedy short that will only appear on this DVD, not on the web! If you're a fan of the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series, be sure to pick it up. Support your local nerdy video game film makers, and visit the store at X-Strike Studios today!

PBC fans remember last year's Go For Broke Day - we pitted ourselves against some insane challenges. Some were victorious, others lay broken...all took impossible risks. That's what Go For Broke Day is all about, being Don Quixote and fighting the impossible fight.

This Sunday marks another G4B Day celebration, and we're going to be Twittering our progress against our insane challenges live over the net. Brett and Darrin are going to be tweeting at PBC Productions, while Z and Chad's exploits are going to be on Little Miss Gamer.

THE CHALLENGES:

Darrin and Brett: Play through the entire setlist of Guitar Hero: Metallica (Darrin on the ax, Brett on the tubs.)
Chad: Kill Dracula before the sun sets in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia
Z: Play Katamari all the way through and finally beat The Moon!

BTW: we want you to pepper the Internet with your own personal challenges. If you take a huge risk in the forest, and no one hears about it, did you really risk all? Putting your reputation on the line is part of an excellent G4B challenge.

MOAR NEWS:

Z is going to be at I-Con this weekend! This marks the second year LMG is representing the home team out in Long Island. Last year we saw Ernie Hudson, Ecto-1, the guy who wrote The Last Unicorn, and overall it was a blast. This year she'll be participating in the following panels:

FRIDAY 7pm @ SCC A115
The Nintendo Wii: Why I'm Playing or Why I Won't

SATURDAY 12pm @ SCC A323
The Best Games You’ve Never Heard of

SATURDAY 1pm @ SCC A113
From Pac Man to Master Chief: The Evolution of the Mascot

SATURDAY 3PM @ SCC A113
Hardcore vs Casual Gamers

SUNDAY 11am @ SCC LH 135
Next Generation of Consoles: Whats Next

SUNDAY 2PM @ SCC A123
Video Games are:Art, Social Commentary, Pure Brain Rot, or all of the above

If you're in the Long Islands, you should stop by. I-Con has a lot to offer. Last year Chad and Z took a break by watching a few episodes of Kimba: The White Lion. The average age in that room was well over 40. The rest of the con-goers (aka the majority) were cosplaying, rummaging through a huge dealer's room, playing video games, watching anime, and basking in the tremendous fan culture that I-Con collects. We hope to see you there!
