G.I. Joe: The Invasion of Cobra Island

G.I. Joe: The Invasion of Cobra Island

Sorry there hasn't been much content up this weekend; Nintendo of Canada sent over a couple of loaners, so I've been working on some reviews. However, if you're like me and did not make it to the theater to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, then here's something to...

Behold: The Coca-Cola Freestyle

I love Coca-Cola. Of this, I believe there can be no doubt. That is why I am excited, nay, elated by the prospects of the Coca-Cola Freestyle machine, which can offer over 100 different varieties of Coca-Cola-branded beverages in the same space it takes for a regular...

Enjoying a Can of Coke in the Summertime

[Writing something a little bit different for a change-- I hope you won't mind indulging me.]It's is the time of Summer, and it's hot. And something I've noticed is how the weather seems to affect my drink of choice, Coca-Cola. My wife thinks I'm nuts for even...

Tonight, Tonight…

An update or two should be on its way tonight, peeps. Remain patient, and I shall endeavor to reward you, yes... --LBD "Nytetrayn"

G.I. Joe: The Invasion of Cobra Island

I’m Back…

...and working on something. Hopefully, I can get it up sometime by tonight. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

Programming Note

Just a note, for anyone who might actually read this (I need a visitor stat tracker so bad...): No updates this week, and probably into the first half of next week, as the following days will be spent: preparing to go to Otakon, going to Otakon, being at Otakon,...

Videogame Who’s Who – The Yoshi

From 4 color rebellion, via GoNintendo: On a related note, I like Yoshi's Story. I can understand people being upset at paying fifty, sixty, whatever the game cost upon its release, but as a Virtual Console game for ten bucks, it works well for me as a game you can...

United Breaks Singer’s Guitar, Singer Sings About United

I'm not exactly as big a fan of airline travel as I used to be. I still enjoy the flight itself, but the security is now a pain, of course, and then there's the issue of anything they don't let you stow into an overhead compartment. My fears are not unfounded, as Dave...

Optimus Prime’s Top 10 on Letterman

Kind of amusing, and just plain cool (and surreal) with Peter Cullen reading the lines. You really get the feeling that Letterman doesn't want to be doing this, though. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

IGN Presents: Project Milo Extended Demo

You saw the crazy demo of Microsoft's Project Natal at E3 early last month, right? And Peter Molyneux's demonstration of Milo, a boy who can talk and interact with you? Well, it seems that IGN managed to get a little more time with Milo, and have revealed what else...

Here’s a Question for You…

Does anyone have any of those old Christmas Wishbook catalogs from the likes of JC Penny, Sears, or if you're in the right region for it, Belk? Or perhaps other such stores? For the uninformed, "wishbooks" were pretty much what they sounded like: phonebook-thick...

It’s All About the Name, and How You Play It

It's funny how some names find their way into the common, every day vernacular. Band-aids for adhesive bandage strips, Kool-Aid for sugary fruit-flavored drink mixes, or even Coke for just about any soda that a person can't bother remembering the name of, but are...

It’s All Right

Well, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon was certainly interesting: He had Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell on as a guest. And I don't mean Mark-Paul Gosselaar. I mean Zack frickin' Morris. It was really wild; he looked just like he did back then-- I almost wondered if...

Remembering Owen

Today has been kind of depressing, and I wish I had managed to post this before the day would end. Nonetheless, it's worth noting that today marks the tenth anniversary of the passing of Owen Hart, who was one of my favorite wrestlers leading up to his untimely death....

“Prepare to be Dazzled”

In 1986, there was the animated TransFormers: The Movie. In 1986, there was the animated My Little Pony: The Movie. In 1987, there was the animated G.I. Joe: The Movie. In 2007, there was the live-action TransFormers movie. In 2009, there will be the live-action G.I....
