Home for the Holidayz
Ok, folks: Christmastime is around the corner, and this week, the Mrs. and I head deep down south to visit some family for the holidays, after what's been something of a rough year. With any luck, it'll be a good time-- I myself am bringing a full assortment of Wii...
Four Green Turtles… Heard the News? New TMNT Coming to Wii
The two games I'm looking forward to most in 2009 are Bionic Commando and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. We've talked about the former before, this is about the latter. The January 2009 issue of Nintendo Power has lots of previews of the year's coming attractions, and...
Nintendo Opens a Store within a Store… Again
Remember when Nintendo used to have those cool "store within a store" World of Nintendo setups? Those were the days... days I wish I had one of the signs from. Nonetheless, those days are back... sort of. If you live near or visit Times Square, that is. Yesterday,...
IGN Be Hatin’ on Nintendo DS’ Online, Yo
IGN has added a new article to their DS section, titled Why Nintendo DS Sucks Online. Pretty much cuts right to the chase, that. In any case, it has some valid arguments. What do you think? I have to agree on it being tough to find a good match in some games, but I'm...
Meet George Jetson… Again
Well, this is sort of disappointing. Earlier, I had devised a new goal: To create a screenplay for a live-action movie about The Jetsons. Why The Jetsons? It's a long story of sorts, but it came to me from another topic. Anyway, as I would have it, the story would be...
Saturday Supercade – Donkey Kong in “Greenhouse Gorilla”
Gotta thank for finding this for me; I never thought I'd get to see another episode of Saturday Supercade's Donkey Kong. And I just knew I had to share, especially since this episode guest stars Stanley the Bugman from Donkey Kong III. And in case you didn't know,...
Castlevania Chronicles Hits PSN
Castlevania Chronicles, the rare PS1 remake of the first Castlevania game starring Simon Belmont, has been added to the PlayStation Network as of yesterday. Better still, it costs all of six dollars. Can you believe that? Super Castlevania IV on the Super NES Virtual...
Happy Birthday, Mega Man! 21 Years of Blue Bombing
Just had to get this out real quick before it's too late: Happy Birthday, Mega Man! That's right, today (though undoubtedly yesterday by the time you read this), Mega Man turned 21, which means he can graduate from E-tanks to E-kegs! To celebrate, here's a really cool...
Sir Mix-a-Lot and the Knights of the Round Table
And to close out tonight, here's a funny piece from Robot Chicken: Dig it? --LBD "Nytetrayn"
WWE Wish You a Merry D-Generation X-Mas (part 2 and 3)
And here I thought this was just a one-off thing... More after the cut. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
Pokemon, for Rizzles?
From GoNintendo, I found the following fairly amusing. I particularly like the work they did with the Charmander. --LBD "Nytetrayn"
This, That, and the Other Thing
Bleh, feel so busy lately. Going to try and work this into something of a routine again, though I half-wonder if I shouldn't wait until after Christmas first, seeing as I go out of town next week. Aah, hell with it. Some good news on my end: I've received a lot of...
I Should Be Writing More…
...but I've gotten so caught up in this: Darths & Droids. Imagine a world like ours, with table top role playing games like Dungeons & Dragons and all that fun stuff. Now imagine if it didn't have Star Wars. Now imagine if the idea of Star Wars was conceived as such a...
A Glance at Gaming Manuals, Past and Present
It appears that GameTopius is aiming to run a series of articles about one of my favorite topics, video game instruction manuals! Now, I realize that sounds incredibly dull, and if you've started gaming in the past ten or so years, give or take, then one can hardly...
Good Morning America Looks at the Console War… circa 1990
So long as we're on the Retro Railroad (that's actually sort of a nifty name, maybe I should use it for something), here's something I found earlier while browsing GameTrailers:News program Good Morning America did a segment on Nintendo and its competitors during the...
The Original Video Power Reviews Punch-Out!!
Oh, wow... I thought that the original Video Power, the version with game tips and a cartoon called the Power Team (made up of Kuros of Wizards & Warriors, monster truck Bigfoot, Kwirk, Jerome from Arch Rivals, and Max Force from NARC) had been all but forgotten....
Dammit, Nintendo…
From Wired Game|Life's hands-on with the "Play It on Wii Selection" version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat:I liked it a lot when it was an innovative platform game played with a drum controller. Now that it's a more straightforward game -- you move Donkey Kong with the...
The New Dragon Ball Movie Trailer
While becoming a Dragon Ball villain, hero, or fashion consultant (see next post) may have its appeal, becoming a Dragon Ball movie star is somewhat more questionable. See for yourself: Hopefully, it will still be fun, at least. Credit: Topless Robot --LBD...
If I Ever Become a Dragon Ball Villain…
If I ever become a Dragon Ball villain...I will introduce slapstick humor into all battles. No one has given Vegeta a wet willie before, and the look on his face will be well worth the beating.I will develop supersensitive hearing. When the heroes start analyzing the...
Balloon Trip: An Existential Journey
Getting back into the swing of things after some downtime is tough. You just want to talk about everything that's gone on, but there's no time for that. So it's usually best to look at now, get a good foothold, and move on to the future. And that's where we begin...
