8-Bit Doctor Horrible And The Greatest House Of The Dead Co-Op Ever

Somewhere out there, in a Tokyo arcade, probably at nighttime, a lone gunman hones his skills, invariably readying himself for the zombie apocalypse:

In other news, that Doctor Octoroc -- the musician behind 8-Bit Jesus -- is up to no good. This time, the blipsmith has reimagined "Everything You Ever," a tune from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog, as an NES-era ditty.

And that isn't all! Other songs from Dr. Horrible are due for the 8-bit treatment; Doc writes that he is ambitiously recreating the entire web series as a Flash animation, "in 8-bit style."

Back in the day you could play Atari's AREA 51 in co-op mode with a gun in each hand. It was known as 'John Woo style'. I once got a round of applause from about fifteen kids for finishing the game while doing it. Best arcade moment ever.
