"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,...

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"...

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...

It's difficult to imagine in this day and age that there was ever a time when bacon double-cheeseburgers were not a regular part of the menu in just about any fast food burger joint you can think of. And yet, it really wasn't all that long ago (relatively speaking)...

I like 7UP, and I like Pac-Man. Seems that I would have been the perfect demographic for a commercial such as this at one time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skuAcMbG1HA Sadly, I don't remember it from growing up-- probably a bit before my time, if I had to guess by...

With Power Rangers going into its 18th year with enhanced reruns of the original Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, some feel that it's time for a reboot, not unlike numerous other series-- Transformers, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, G.I. Joe, and Teenage Mutant...

This was a heck of a year for Power Rangers, Super Sentai, and Kamen Rider, all part of the genre collectively known as tokusatsu. Here is a neat tribute someone on Topless Robot linked to, which pays homage to Disney's Power Rangers RPM, Adness' Kamen Rider Dragon...

This may just be one of the most messed-up things I've seen in quite some time, though it's safe for work: The way they really roar at the hand-chopping, the "I am your father" line, and the fall is just... well, as Topless Robot put it, "it's like you're watching the...

To go with the article I posted earlier, here's the first part of the first episode of this last new season of Power Rangers, "The Road to Corinth:" Parts 2 and 3 can be found here and here. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

Here's another commercial from Coke, and from just last year. Unfortunately, I'm not certain of where it originated, but it's a good one: Wow, what a gift for that dog. I bet he's happy. And I think that may wrap it up for tonight. I may post some more in the coming...

Short, but sweet. Who doesn't remember this one? The breath of relief from the final Kiss always makes me smile a little. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

Of course, when it comes to Christmas commercials, one cannot overlook the one company who has perhaps associated itself with the holiday better than any other, Coca-Cola: Too bad the text had to get in the way of such a lovely piece. There was also another version of...
