Venture Bros. Box Art Pays Homage to Atari
By Shaun Hatton - January 11th, 2009
Sadly, these are not actual boxes for upcoming Atari 2600 titles. But on the bright side, these are the cover designs for the upcoming DVD and Blu-ray releases of The Venture Bros. Season 3, which will be available in stores March 24, 2009. Not only is The Venture Bros. the greatest show to ever air on The Cartoon Network, it’s also the first Adult Swim show to be made available in Blu-ray format.
Both DVD and Blu-ray versions of the show include extras such as deleted scenes and commentary as well as all 13 episodes of season 3. But the Blu-ray version will also include a soundtrack CD. While details of the track selection haven’t been revealed, it can only be good. The show’s composer is none other than over-achiever J.G. Thirlwell, who has released albums under various aliases including Foetus and Steroid Maximus. I’d be surprised if the composers of the Skullmonkeys and Metroid Prime soundtracks weren’t huge Steroid Maximus fans, because the music in those games sounds like something Thirlwell would have done.
March is a long way off, but I find myself already wondering which version to buy. I don’t have a Blu-ray player yet, but am thinking of getting both versions anyway. On the topic of video games, a point-and-click adventure starring The Venture Bros. would possibly be the greatest game ever. Someone needs to get on that.

We need to invent a more powerful version of the word “Awesome” for these.
I agree. These can be Scientastic.

Get in touch with the N+ lads and do’er up.
Also: be sure there’s a level editor in it!
I don’t think the N+ team would do a point-and-click. They’re all about the physics. And one of them isn’t a lad.
Deep down, they’re all lads, just like everyone’s a dude. Alternately, the in the way that dude we worked with would call everyone “laddie”.
