  • Donkey Kong Jenga

    A friend sent me this picture of a new game that came out last month.

    This may be one of the greatest inventions in the history of mankind…

    ….we need Tetris Jenga, stat!

    I’m not sure what I liked better about this episode…  the story?  the art?…nah.  It is completely about the mock anime song.  Was even better in HD.

  • Madman Atomic Comics #9- The One Picture Comic

    For people who got the last issue of Madman Atomic Comics (it was a good issue), you may have noticed something…  The entire comic was one single panel.  It was a neat idea for a book, the only issue is, 1 panel over an entire book means it was split apart many times.

    Thanks to Madman creator Mike Allred the entire issue as one image has been made available.  No voice bubbles though, so if you want to know what exactly is going on go out and buy the issue.

    It’s an interesting artistic experiment.  Comics rely on panels of differing shape and size to show time’s passage, action happening, and to move the story, so it is very interesting to see all that done as a single picture.

  • 2 Right Stuf DVD Covers

    We got some giant shiny DVD art for two Nozomi Entertainment (Right Stuf) titles coming out later on in the year (the artwork isn’t final).  I haven’t seen these anywhere else yet, so enjoy.

    First we have the second season of Maria Watches Over Us.

    edit- While I haven’t been able to confirm this with 100% accuracy, the other side of the box will have this image in the frame.

    Then next we have the classic Towards the Terra movie.

    Looking forward to both of these myself (where’s the remastered Tylor box Right Stuf?)

  • ADV and Their Amazing Changing Boxes

    I’ve gotten a few questions from friends about this, saw Nebs wonder about it, and seen at least two people claim they had to for ‘legal reasons’, so I felt it was about time I explain what is up with ADV re-releasing all kinds of old thinpak boxes they’ve done with new covers, and why new covers equals more sales.

  • Comic Release List- 8/13/2008

    Every Monday night I’ll post the comic release list for the upcoming Wednesday.

  • What is Bob’s Game?

    This guy named Bob (Robert Pelloni) has been spending five years making an RPG for the Nintendo DS.  Instead of battles you have conversations.  He made all the graphics, story, and other assets himself.

    The game stars a character named Yuu and the video window above shows a quick video of the demo running on a real DS. Bob is currently trying to find a distributor for the game.

    I really hope I get to play this game someday.

  • Code Geass R2 On Adult Swim Clarification

    Just thought I would clarify this since I’ve seen a bit of confusion on the net.

    Code Geass R2 will start on Adult Swim immediatly after the end of Code Geass on Adult Swim.

  • Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People- Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner (Wii) Review

    The Homestar Runner series finally makes it’s grand appearance in the (commercial) gaming market with it’s first game, “Strong Bad’s Cool Game for Attractive People- Episode 1: Homestar Ruiner”, for the Wii. Probably one of the most long awaited games for WiiWare, the game has more than enough moments, but it isn’t a perfect game by any means. (more…)
