Pop Goes The Paycheck

Have to issue an apology to all the PMOtaku out there (does that even work as a name? What does? PMO-ites? PMO-maniacs? PMOrganisms?). I can't make an update tonight, I'm afraid, as I have to be to work at 11 in the morning, which means I have to leave by 10, which...

Tubin’ – 4/8/06 – Easter Edition

Easter Weekend. If you're like me, then you might have been taken off-guard by its arrival, and if you're like me, you probably have little going on. So here's a few things to watch. Since TMNT was just in theaters, you might still have a slight craving for some...

Hold It!!!

Great news! I finally finished Phoenix Wright, Ace Attorney: Justice For All's Episode 4 (both endings!), and have finished the game as a result! Terrible news! It took me far longer than I thought it would; all bloody night. I lost track of time and now it's too late...

Apologies To the PMO Readership

I know I said that since I couldn't update last night, I would do so tonight. And I'm afraid that I said that in haste, as I had forgotten what Sunday would bring. Check your calendars. Yep, that's right. April Fool's Day. Once a day which begat small pranks among...

Small Delay

No PMO update tonight. Takes me too long to get home from work, and I have to go in earlier tomorrow, so I'll have to postpone the update until tomorrow night. Sorry about that, folks. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

We’re Back!

It's been awhile. If you want the personal details, visit my LiveJournal. I won't clog up the front page with them here, but suffice to say that things aren't really better, but stopping this didn't really help, it probably made things worse. A couple of big updates...

Downtime.

Ok, so it's come to a point where I'm going to do the last thing I wanted to do, at least insofar as PoisonMushroom.Org goes. After tonight's update, I'm going on hiatus. Might update on the weekend, but right now I need to focus on other things. Getting one's card...

Tubin’ – 2/14/06 – Super Mario Bros. Z ep. 5

I'm a Sonic fan, and I'm a Mario fan. So, like some people, the idea of longtime rivals Sonic and Mario having a crossover of some sort holds some appeal to me. But only if it's done well. (I refuse to say "right" because I feel that's a more volatile and subjective...

PMO: More Refreshing, Less Filling.

American Dad tonight had an... interesting theme. One plot involved Steve and Roger and another kid, sort of paralleling spousal abuse in what I dubbed "Abuse Night on Fox," thus named after this, and Stewie getting all kinky with Lois after she smacked him one. The...

Three PS3s.

This video is great. Why? Because he has three PS3s. --LBD "Nytetrayn"

The MegaMan Legends Collection Proposal

In the year 2006, war was beginning. But amidst the rumblings of the rise of a new generation of video game consoles, a group of fans were looking into gaming's past as they hoped it might give rise to a new chapter in the future. For the story of my pitched proposal...

The MegaMan Legends Collection Proposal

In the early part of 2006, some members of The Mega Man Network gathered and looked into the possibility of a specialized petition, one to try and convince Capcom to create a MegaMan Legends 3. One of our staff, who had been in contact with a member of Capcom had...

Wikipedia Wandering – 1/26/07

So, I was watching The Angry Video Game Movie Nerd give his two cents on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III from PoI last night, and I noticed one recurring piece of video, that of the toys. Like a lot of people who probably read this, I grew up right smack-dab in the...

Parallel Peach

So awhile back, I did that article to celebrate Super Mario Bros. 2, and point out its contributions to the Mario mythos as a whole, and why it should be considered a true Mario game, even putting forth the idea that maybe it was originally meant to be (I never saw a...

Wikipedia Wandering – 1/24/07

No idea if this will be a regular feature or not, guess we'll see how people like it. Basically, idea is this. Sometimes I just like to go through Wikipedia and look up something and read up on it. Usually stuff I'm somewhat familiar with or have heard about, and want...

A Short (?) Video History of Game Cartoons

In honor of all the DVD releases of video game cartoons lately, here are a ton of intros from just about every one I could think of... ...except Pokemon. No way in Hell I'm hunting all those down. First up, Double Dragon. I thought it was a fun cartoon in its own...

Virtual Disappointment

Took me a little searching, but I found today's Virtual Console updates. I have to laugh a little at the comments there, because it's true. I mean, Xevious and R-Type are alright, I guess, but not really my thing. I'm not necessarily one of those who thinks Nintendo...

Death Note on the Download

Earlier yesterday, Viz Media sent out a press release regarding the online availability of the Death Note anime, for rental and to own, all while the show is still airing in Japan, which is cited as an unprecedented move. That's the good news. Not so much bad news as...
