Victorious: Taking the Lead

The characters in Victorious: Taking the Lead for the Wii are fretting over who will land the starring role in their high school’s production of Romeo and Juliet, but I just want to learn more about Wahoo Punch and Power Soda.

As it turns out, these are remarkably accurate re-creations of vending machines that appeared in actual episodes of the Victorious television series.

Impressive attention to detail, High Voltage Software!

The Office

Dunder Mifflin boasts a combination snack and soda machine in the 2007 video game adaptation of The Office. I wonder if it’s the same vending machine where Jim hid all Dwight’s office supplies in that one episode. Jim was such a jerk.

Thanks for the screenshot, Jonah!

Soul Axiom

It’s hard to find Coke and Tang in the same vending machine, which is why I think this Cola Shake machine from Soul Axiom is an important addition to The Video Game Soda Machine Project.

Paprium

Paprium is a homebrew Sega Genesis brawler due out later this year. to their credit, the developers appear to have painstakingly recreated the defining quality of the 16-bit beat ’em up genre: destructible soda machines.
