Review #1304 – Gradius (PC Engine)

So this would be the time where I would load up on a bunch of wrestling game reviews on the road to Wrestlemania, but since the road to Wrestlemania seems to have more potholes than the island of Montreal at the moment, I’ve decided that we’re going to cover a couple Gradius games, starting with this Japan-only PC Engine version and then following up with the two Game Boy entries, Nemesis and Interstellar Assault.

In any event, Gradius is a fun one to revisit. There’s a Gradius Origins collection that you should check out for arcade fun… and also Salamander III is quite the banger.

Wily Challenge 2026-04-11 (except not really)

Previously streamed on the Artificial Idiocy livestream, the first of two Wily Challenges streamed on that show. The second will be posted next week and hopefully by that point, we’ll have new stuff ready to go. Point being that we’re going to have Mega Man Maker videos up and running once again and hopefully new levels will follow.

I’m sure the community is just THRILLED with that piece of news.

Trek Sets Being Dismantled And Auctioned Off

Is this the end of the current era of Trek? The news of the sets being dismantled and pieces of it being auctioned off seems t0 indicate that to be the case. Unless they’re planning on using the space for another Trek-related piece of business, which I doubt because nothing has been formally announced on that front…

I don’t know what to feel. There’s a part of me that wants to feel sad about the lack of Trek product on television and certainly, I feel bad for the folks who had been working on these sets since the Discovery days and wish them all the best in their future endeavors. Another part of me feels ambivalent, considering how ho-hum this current era of Trek television has been personally. It’s not something that I feel like I’m going to miss or regret its lost; it’s more like something that happened, I’m going to forget about it, and move on to other things. There isn’t that fondness here that I have for the old shows.

I only speak for myself in that regard. Clearly, there’s going to be a generation of fans who do have a fondness for this brand of Trek that is going to lament its ending, if that’s what this is. For now, we can only wait and see what the future holds for Star Trek… but if you live in the Ontario province and have plenty of disposable income, here’s your chance to own a piece of Trek. I guess…

Review #1303 – Super Bombliss DX (Game Boy Color)

Oh look, it’s another Tetris/Bombliss game… yay?

Something off the back burner that was kept aside for a rainy day… and as luck would have it, it’s a pretty wet day today, so I think that works out nicely.

Next week, we knock some Gradius games off the bucket list. Relatively short reviews, nothing special, really.

The Legend Is Unleashed This August… Maybe…

After years of delays and who knows what else, The Legend Of The White Dragon – the final film of the late Jason David Frank – will FINALLY see release this August 26th to theaters. At least, that’s the official word for now. For those looking forward to this, I’m hoping that it comes out on time and you get a good movie out of it. Given how many times this thing has been pushed back over the years, I choose to maintain the stance of “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Which is more likely to see release first, this or GTA6?

There’s a betting pool idea.

You’re welcome.

WCW Superbrawl VI (1996)

Today is the day where we normally look at an episode of WCW Monday Nitro that aired three decades ago, only to find out that thirty years ago, there was no episode of Nitro because there was a pre-emption. While one would suggest this would be a good opportunity to check out what was going on on RAW around that same time… I decided to go for something more wholesome.

Even though we’re past that point, we haven’t watched Superbrawl VI, the PPV from a few weeks back. The one featuring Hulk Hogan and The Giant in a steel cage match as well as Ric Flair winning his 13th World title over Randy Savage… sorry if I spoiled the movie for anybody. Anyway, let’s get to it.

THE BITE COMMENTARY #16 – One Year Later

I don’t feel like whipping up a new banner for this one, so here’s a picture of Maya sleeping with a copy of Robotron 2084 for Atari 7800. If this doesn’t warm your heart, it’s probably because you don’t have one.

Normally, I’d be posting a written review of sorts since that’s sort of the regular deal (and I sort of skipped one last week to make way for our other regular feature of letting the world know on every 31st day of the month that I have yet to watch the Star Trek: Section 31 streaming television feature starring Academy Award winner Michelle Yeoh), but when I saw the date, I opted for this commentary instead.

For you see, today marks one year since I was hospitalized for a pulmonary embolism that left me short of breath and was on the verge of taking my life… or so I’ve been told.

I haven’t been keeping you folks up on the recovery process because, well, there’s not much to report; I take medication every day, I go for in for the barrage of checkups on various things, and we continue accordingly. And then there are some folks who have no clue what I’m talking about, so this is what today’s commentary will be about; a refresher of what happened last year, what we’ve been doing to get better, and where we’re at now.

Your usual happy-feeling fun time will resume tomorrow unless I can find another fun video for the Extra Bits. Beyond that, sit tight.
