The Original Power is Back
Well, this was a bit unexpected. For some time now, the fate of the Power Rangers franchise has been uncertain, with the strong possibility that Power Rangers: RPM, the 17th and current iteration of the franchise, might be its last. But, that may not actually be the...
Video Games That Display… Turtle Power!
The year 2009 marks the 25th anniversary of the fab four green teens known as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (remember, they were the stars of indie comics for a while before being made into a cartoon and... well, everything). And for the vast duration of the...
The Legend of Zelda Theme, Now With Lyrics
Sorry I haven't been posting much, lately. Seems I have too much to do, too little time, and not enough energy. Bleh. I'll try to get some stuff up this weekend, but for now, here's BrentalFloss's latest video featuring lyrics for a classic piece of game music, The...
Tubin’ – 9/23/09
A few fun videos of note from GameTrailers today... First up, a pretty solid review of Contra ReBirth. Video Games | Contra ReBirth | ReviewXBox 360 | Playstation 3 | Nintendo WiiScrewAttack's Video Game Vault adds a game I have some fond memories of: Art of Fighting....
Case Closed: Wrapping Up Ace Attorney 3
I have finally finished Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney: Trials and Tribulations. Whew, I need a break before I tackle Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney. And then there's Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth coming soon, too. I'm assuming that Apollo is par for the...
Happy Birthday, Charles Martinet!
A few days ago, on September 17th, Mr. Charles Martinet reached another birthday milestone, and to my regret, I neglected to post anything here to commemorate. However, I am now making amends, albeit in a belated fashion. "But who is Charles Martinet?" you might be...
Don’t Copy That Floppy… 2
These days, it seems like everything is getting a sequel or a remake. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Rambo, Rocky, Star Trek, G.I. Joe, TransFormers, Batman, Alice in Wonderland, Terminator, and so on. And to join in the fun is the sequel to that 1992 anti-piracy...
Sorry, but…
I simply could not help myself. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
The Amazing Spider-man vs. the Raping Rapscallion?
Actually, it's not a new supervillain who has people up in arms over the latest Amazing Spider-man story, but rather an old one who has returned in the "Brand New Day" continuity. In case anyone's forgotten, I'm really no fan of this weird retconning of Spider-man. In...
“WHOSE RESPONSIBLE THIS?”
The wife and I went to see WWE Raw earlier tonight, and getting home, I've been a bit tired, and wasn't sure if there was anything I could add tonight that would be worthwhile. And then I remembered that yesterday was the birth of a new meme: The story behind this is...
I Expected That as I Got Older, I Would Lose My Memory, But Never Like This
Argh! So today, I copped out on digging out and hooking up the Dreamcast to celebrate its 10th anniversary by playing the GameCube equivalent of Sonic Adventure 2 and Crazy Taxi on the Wii (I may play the real DC next weekend). It could either be karma against my...
My Weekend with the Aliens
My weekend thus far has not been particularly eventful, in the truest sense, but I have noticed a common thread running through what I've done so far: aliens. Friday night, I gave Contra ReBirth (purchased Monday, of course) a go on Normal. And, lucky me, I managed to...
Dreamcast Turns Ten
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the North American release of SEGA's final console, the Dreamcast. Naturally, there has been a bit of buzz to celebrate. Here are some of the bigger items. First dibs should perhaps go to Peter Moore, who uses his EA Sports blog to...
Robocop: Loves Fried Chicken, Steals Your Fridge
It's not uncommon knowledge that even the biggest American celebrities have absolutely no problems shilling for even the most seemingly minor of endorsements. So long as it's in Japan, far from the prying eyes of the people they call their countrymen, that is. But who...
Can’t Update Now… Wiki-ing…
Sorry, folks, don't think I'll be updating tonight, except to bring you what's just sucked away my night: The DC Animated Universe Wiki, consisting of all sorts of wonderful facts and figures from Batman: The Animated Series' "The Cat and the Claw, part 1" to "On...
Pepsi: Right Now, Hey, It’s Your Tomorrow
In 2008, Pepsi rolled out the new logo (which you can see at right) to help usher in a new minimalist brand image for their product. And despite being the pinnacle of human achievement, people have their opinions on it, good or bad. Personally, I like the logo they...
The Fingerpoke of Doom and the Fall of WCW
I don't remember what exactly possessed me to decide to read about the history of the nWo, but here I am, reading up on one of the biggest angles in wrestling history, much of which I watched as it happened. Good times, to be sure, but they weren't to last. Perhaps...
La-la…
...la-la-la-la... Via ComingSoon.net, who reports that the movie will be opening in theaters December 17th, 2010. Clever. Now the people who go to see it can be as blue as the characters on the screen. I'm actually sort of looking forward to this, thanks to opening...
Tubin’ – 9/02/09
One thing I've enjoyed about Shawn Michaels' return to the WWE is that lately, he doesn't seem so concerned about being in the WWE title picture so much, and is just having more fun being funny. Some samples of which follow: Not only does the man wrestle one hell of a...
“Hitler is Pissed About Disney Buying Marvel”
Via Topless Robot. You know how it goes by now, I'm sure: I'm surprised that he cares so strongly about what they do to Captain America, aka Mr. "I Punched Hitler Today, What Did You Do?" And with all the rumors of Walt Disney being a Nazi sympathizer, or at least an...
