My Thoughts on Nickelodeon’s TMNT Episode 1: Rise of the Turtles part 1
Here we are: The Nickelodeon era of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has officially begun... though I suppose if one counts IDW's comics, it began a year ago. But this being the cartoon show on a major cable network with a prominent toyline attached... one can bet this is...
Nickelodeon Should Bring the Super Shredder Back to TMNT
As I sit down to write this, it is late on the eve of the debut of Nickelodeon's new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon, which-- as I see it-- officially kicks off a new era for the fab four. Certainly, IDW has been doing some rather intriguing things with their...
Bandai D-Arts Vile Reviewed at The Mega Man Network
Here's one more review for you all, but this time it's something a little different. You see, it's not food, and it's not a video game (though it is related to one)... it's a toy! Back at Otakon, I received a review sample of Vile from Bandai's D-Arts Mega Man X line,...
Review Round-Up – 9/23/12
Wow, it's been a little while since I last shared my reviews from elsewhere with you guys. Time to fix that! On Slide to Play: Rayman Jungle Run - Undoubtedly the best of the lot. If you have an iPhone, I cannot recommend this any more highly. And yes, the theme from...
D.C. Douglas’s Favorite “Chase” Moments from Transformers: Rescue Bots
One of my favorite cartoons to air over the past year has been Transformers: Rescue Bots, a branch of the Prime/War for Cybertron continuity which is admittedly a bit more kid-friendly. It's a fun show with some great characters which manages to do something new,...
Review: Harvey’s Great Canadian Pulled Pork Burger & Pulled Pork Poutine
For those unaware, Harvey's is a proud Canadian fast-food chain which prides itself on making your food the way you want it. To that end, rather than having things assembled back in the kitchen, they will cook things there and add the garnishes out in front along the...
Update to “Building a Better Mario Kart”
Nothing too big here, but I made a bit of an oversight in my "Building a Better Mario Kart" article from a couple of days ago, and I have just finished adding it in. If you wanted to know without reading (or re-reading the whole thing), I added two items to the end:...
Dear Microsoft: Let Rare Remake These Classic Games!
Recently, James Rolfe added to a series of GameTrailers videos where he drops his "Angry Video Game Nerd" persona and talks candidly about video games he has fond memories of from years ago. His most recent entry (which, unlike his AVGN videos, has little in the way...
Building a Better Mario Kart: What I Would Change
Much as I love Mario Kart, it's not perfect, and I feel that SEGA's Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing has overall managed to surpass it as a more enjoyable, more competitive, and overall more skill-based experience. The sequel, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, is...
What I Love in Mario Kart
As mentioned at the end of my previous post, I really enjoy Mario Kart. More than anything, the characters, vehicles, and tracks tend to stand out for me. Here are some of my favorites. Characters: Mario Kart has seen a lot of characters over the years. I remember...
Super Mario Kart Turns 20: Looking Back
Will I ever get a tribute up on time? Probably not on this site. Still, one day late (by a short margin) is better than never, I suppose. Today's honor is the 20th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Kart in North America (with Japan's coming out only a few days...

I just wanted to take a moment to let you all know about my latest project and the newest addition to the Nyteworks family, The Pre-Order Blog! The Pre-Order Blog is a place to follow all the latest news on pre-order bonuses-- and not just for video games, either....
Stardroids: True Blue Now Live and In Color
Have you ever checked out the list of affiliates down on the sidebar there? If you have, you might have seen one called "Stardroids," which is a Mega Man fancomic written, drawn, inked, and colored by Terra. I recommend checking it out, as it does have some funny...
Awesome Art: Yoshi’s Island of Dreams
Matt Green over at Press the Buttons recently came upon and posted the above piece of artwork by Michael Julius Peterson on deviantART, "Yoshi's Island of Dreams." He notes that "this is not a real Yoshi game, but it should be" while drawing comparisons between the...
New Super Mario Bros. 2 Review on Mario’s Hat
New Super Mario Bros. 2 comes out this Sunday, August 19th, but over on Mario's Hat, you can already check out my review for it. That's right; the site's namesake and subject of one of its first stories has finally been reviewed. To reiterate: I like it a lot, and it...
Debuting on 1UP: The Many Versions, Ports, and Re-Releases of Super Mario Bros.
It pleases me to finally be able to reveal to you my latest work, which is also my debut writing for 1UP: "The Many Versions, Ports, and Re-Releases of Super Mario Bros." What's funny is that while the 1UP staff did a splendid job in bringing everything together with...
Review: Burger King’s Onion Rings Flavoured Snacks
I am not really what you would call an "onion ring person." The reason for this is simply because I do not like onions. No matter where I go, I will generally not eat onions or onion rings. I might eat the batter, but that's it; throw the rest away, as far as I'm...
VGDC to Make ‘Rise of the Mushroom Kingdom 5’ as Tribute to the Late Randy Solem
The past few days have been like something of an information exchange between myself and Tony Ponce over at Destructoid. Recently, in searching for something else, I came across an article he'd written late last year as a tribute/retrospective to Randy Solem's Video...
Fun with Golden’s Super Mario Bros. The Movie Coloring Book
This ain’t no game. This ain’t no movie. This is something else.
Review Round-Up
Just because I'm not always writing here doesn't mean I'm not writing! Here is a look at some reviews I've written elsewhere. On Slide To Play: Ghostbusters: Paranormal Blast - An AR-styled game for the iPhone/iPad in which you bust ghosts in the environment around...
