Paul's run of Disney's Adventures in the Magic Kingdom (NES) is now on the GameCola YouTube channel. Take a look there, or watch it right here!

The GameCola YouTube page is chock-full of awesome right now. First up is my brand-new and quite impressive (if I do say so myself) run of Mega Man 4, which we all know is my favorite Mega Man game. As a result, the audio commentary this time around is arguably the best yet.

If you've resisted watching any Mega Man videos up to this point, this is a perfect place to start. The first three videos are already available for your viewing pleasure, and the rest will follow over the next few days. Even if you're not into Mega Man, you might actually like them, so take a peek!



Next up are some things you may have missed, such as Michael's handy tutorial on how to install older games on Vista:



Let's not forget about the now-complete Part 2 of Michael's blind run through Final Fantasy VI Advance, more clips from the Nickelodeon cartoon show Doug, Paul's run through the amusingly bad Super Back to the Future Part II, and Michael's handy video walkthrough of Mega Man X.

There's plenty to watch! Enjoy, and Happy 4th of July!

Story Title: Writer\'s Block

Sweat poured down Paul\'s forehead as he stared at his computer screen. His Word document for The Gates of Life was still blank.

\"Paul, are you still up?\"

Paul turned his head to see Lizo standing there with a worried look on her face.

\"It\'s past midnight. It\'s time to go to bed.\"

\"I have to finish the Gates of Life,\" Paul said.

\"You can do it tomorrow.\"

\"NO!\" Paul shouted, his frustration getting the better of him. \"I was supposed to have it done LAST WEEK! You know I have to write it early so Kate can get the pictures in on time!\"

Lizo frowned. She hated to see Paul like this. \"Well...don\'t stay up too late.\"

Paul turned back to his computer. The screen was still blank.

Curse his writer\'s block.

Writing The Gates of Life every other month was the hardest thing Paul ever had to do. Sure, some people said it looked like he wrote down whatever random crap popped into his head, like, flying polar bears or whatever, but nothing could be further from the truth. Paul poured his soul into every edition of Gates of Life. His SOUL. It was his baby, his child, his very meaning for existence.

And now...it was nothing.

\"WHAT\'S THE POINT?!\" Paul felt like screaming. All this work, all this frustration, all for a column that only three people read...the three people who worked on The Gates of Life.

Paul needed a distraction, so he opened up his GameCola email. No new mail, except...

Crap.

An email from Kate, Subject: The Gates of Life Pictures

Here it was. An angry email from Kate, yelling at him for not being done yet. Calling him an incompetent Head Editor, a horrible writer, a hopeless fool, and whatever nasty insults she could come up with, because Kate, unlike Paul, didn\'t have the Writer\'s Block to End All Writer\'s Block.

His hand trembling, Paul clicked the mouse and opened the email.

Hey Paul, here are the pictures for this month\'s Gates of Life! Matt said he\'ll send you the finalized story tomorrow. -Kate

Paul blinked. What? But it was May! What was Kate thinking?

Oh...that\'s right. Even though it was May, he was writing for the June issue. So it WAS Matt\'s month! Paul didn\'t have to write anything! The Gates of Life would continue!

Paul put his head down on the keyboard and cried for a long, long time.
