Man, I expected this to suck, but it works really well (probably given the only partially interactive nature of laserdisc games). So if you have five bucks and really love Space Ace, pick this up.
Aww yeah, Sweet, Sweet Kimberly.

June 22nd, 2009G.I. Joe: Resolute on tomorrow night
April 24th, 2009Cartoon Network is reviving G.I. Joe with a show that has the classic crew. I skipped Sigma Six, but I will give this one a go. Not a fan of the art style, though.
You can catch it online already here (Edit: Adult Swim seems to have taken it down, but you can still find it on youtube).
I honestly won’t have anything to say about this until I have time to see it.
I need this!
February 4th, 2009
Someone get me one. Now!
EDIT: The Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes ones are pretty sweet too, but what did they do to Duke?
“Leather-Wreck?! I’ll wreck you!”
February 4th, 2009Yeah, I know we’ve all seen this, but:
I love it. Of course, I’m “that guy” that loved the Transformers movie, too. It won’t be perfect, but given what Hollywood is willing to pump out, it looks good to me.
Besides, do you really want this on your movie screen? Do you?
Yeah. That COULD be the way they did it, people.
Zelda Rap. Wiki-wiki-wik!
January 6th, 2009Look, I know we’ve all seen the Zelda rap, but on rewatching it, I think there’s funnier stuff here than the song itself: First, you have the nerd kid using his games and cool toys to keep the cool friend around. Sad, yet realistic. Then you’ve got the voice saying “Your parents help you hook it up!” It’s bad enough that they assume kids can’t hook up an NES, but the voice used seems to be using of the condescending uncle sort of tone. Hey, I can do this shit, DAD!
Do they know it’s Christmastime at all?
December 24th, 2008Probably the Christian ones do.
There won’t be any snow this Christmas in Africa. You see, it’s in the Southern Hemisphere.
Snarkiness aside, look at that cast of folks. Amazing!
Coming This Christmas from Atari: Disappointment!
December 7th, 2008No, ET! Get the hell out of my house with your crappy game! What have you done with Santa?
Santa…in…Spaaace!
December 6th, 2008Wow, here’s an ad that really makes you want to get an Atari 5200 (the one with Pac-man games that didn’t cause horrible seizures)! Who knew Santa was so hi-tech?
In other news: There was a Wacky Wallwalkers cartoon? Why the hell was there a Wacky Wallwalkers cartoon? God damn it 1980s, is there anything you wouldn’t turn into a horrible cartoon?
Le Sigh…
December 1st, 2008Bananarama…
They were so dreamy!
Yeah baby, they've got it.
Heart and…Soul?
December 1st, 2008So the question for the day for my friend (whom we shall call “Fats”) was, “Which band name is worse, T’pau or Kajagoogoo?” He went with T’pau. And it is. You see, I always thought “T’pau” sounded like some bad attempt to make a Star Trek name. I didn’t know how horribly right I was:
T’Pau formed in 1986 and took their name from a female Vulcan priestess in the Star Trek universe.
Thanks, Wikipedia!
I’m not sure I can ever listen to “Heart and Soul” again without dying a little inside.
