A Look Back at 30 Years of Pac
This weekend marks the 30th anniversary of two enormous cultural icons. Or technically, Friday the 21st did. But, it's a long weekend (at least here in Canada), so what better excuse to use the whole thing to celebrate? One celebration comes from Star Wars, as the...
Remembering Owen Hart (Again)
It's that time again... This day last year marked the tenth anniversary of the death of one of my favorite wrestlers in WWE, or rather, the WWF as it was then known. And one year later, here I am remembering Owen once again. It's kind of strange, this year. Tonight,...
Random Thoughts on Raw
WWE Raw tonight was live from Toronto, Canada (I think they rarely mention the "Ontario" part). And no, I didn't get to go this time. What's more, it airs on the USA network commercial free. What's funny is that its airing in Canada on The Score still had commercials....
Capcom Unity Presents: Mega Man Zero Recollections
Hey, want to know what me and a bunch of other guys thought of Mega Man Zero when it first came out? Then behold! --LBD "Nytetrayn"
No Review for Iron Man 2?
Well, God forbid any video game websites actually review what might be perceived as a hot or high-profile title. Specifically, a game based on one of this Summer's blockbuster movies. I am, of course, talking about Iron Man 2. At least, that's what Metacritic seems to...
Power On: Saban Reclaims Rights to Rangers
It's funny how much things can change in so short a time. Just a little over five months ago, I wrote something of an obituary for the Power Rangers. After an amazing run of around 16 years, things finally wrapped up, at least in terms of new episodes. Following the...
Super Mario Galaxy 2 Ad
Now this is how you advertise a game! Cannot wait... so much win... Credit: GoNintendo --LBD "Nytetrayn"
Updates! Get Your Updates!
Alright, it's finally done. I've spent all day updating the site, and it's finally done. First, I've brought over some posts I've made to Kombo in the past, whose statute of limitations has expired. Now added to the Features section are Building Excite-ment, part 1:...
Free Comic Book Day!
Can't believe I nearly forgot to post about this... today is FREE COMIC BOOK DAY! Go out and get some free comics while you still can! Or check with your local participating comic book store (there's a locator through the link); some will be celebrating tomorrow, too....
What Has Been Going On with Me Lately
I imagine some of you who watch this space have been wondering just where I've been, what I've been up to. In fact, I know this, as some of you have asked me, and I've promised details. Well, details are now available. I don't typically make this blog my personal...
Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt Desktop Wallpapers
I've been visiting The Retroist a lot lately, and they have a whole assortment of retro video game wallpapers available for download. I liked the idea, but they didn't really have anything which called to me. Inspired, I decided to make my own and share it with those...
The Source of Chuck Norris’s Notoriety?
By now, I think just about everyone is familiar with the Chuck Norris meme, which is largely a series of "facts" about the man which just get bigger and bigger than life itself, turning the actor into a sort of tall tale figure. Sort of a modern Paul Bunyan, only...
The Coca-Cola “Happiness Machine”
"Have a Coke and a smile," the old slogan used to say. But this vending machine takes it to new heights: I wish the places around here had one like this. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
The Hunt for Tato Skins
Does anyone out there remember this commercial? And of course, there was this variant, from when they introduced barbecue flavored Tato Skins as well. I remember the chips rather fondly, as they were favorites of mine growing up. However, I noticed over the years that...
Let’s Quickly Play Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Fighting Edition
"Let's Play" videos are fun, as it's a good way to see someone experience a game for the first time and offer their thoughts and feelings as they deal with the frustration, weirdness, or other sensations associated with a first-encounter with a game. Or, sometimes,...
Super Mario Collection Commercial
Oy, I should be doing better at updates than this. Hopefully I'll get two more up tonight. A friend of a friend of mine found the following commercial that I don't recall ever seeing before of Super Mario Collection: For those who didn't know, "Super Mario Collection"...
DK = Driven Krazy
Okay, I don't know what the hell that was about, but I just finished a harrowing, brutal session of Donkey Kong '94. I did not know that Super NES games were capable of developing spiteful mean streaks, but here we are. It's crazy; I've beaten the game before with no...
CollegeHumor Exposes Zordon
Hopefully this will make for my last Power Rangers post for a while; I don't like to stick to one subject too much, disregarding things like "video games" or "comic books" or "toys" as a single subject. Anyway, I don't know how long it took CollegeHumor to put this...
MMPR’s Supervising Producer Speaks
Given the length of my thoughts and reactions to the first episodes of the new "re-envisioned" Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, I thought it might be best to give this its own space. Apparently, the Supervising Producer of these new "re-envisionings" has his own Twitter...
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: Generation 2
On Saturday, January 2nd, the new "reversioned" Mighty Morphin Power Rangers took to the airwaves. Didn't get to see it? Not terribly surprising; it seems that the skittlebrains at ABC air it at insanely different times in different markets, be it 11am or noon to as...
