The plan was to pull back on the Scott Pilgrim posts after we saw the movie. Our Twitter review of said film?

Yes. it was that awesome.

Currently, movie box office reports that most of you moviegoers went to see that unfunny looking abomination THE OTHER GUYS, instead of the hilarious SCOTT PILGRIM VS THE WORLD. Because of this, we’re going to continue to drop Pilgrim posts until you buckle under the weight of the epic thing you’re not watching in theaters. You’ll break and you’ll watch and you’ll thank us with money and cases of your region’s finest beer.

First up, UGO tracks every gaming reference in the Bryan Lee O’Malley tomes.

Every Video Game Reference Ever in the Scott Pilgrim Comics

Crash and the Boys

Scott Pilgrim Vol. 1:

Scott’s band Sex Bob-Omb plays a show with a band called Crash and the Boys, a reference to Crash ‘n the Boys: Street Challenge, an NES sports game.
