Review #1327 – Shark! Shark! (Intellivision)

A video review of the almighty Intellivision classic, Shark! Shark!

Yes, so the first of several Intellivision reviews to be featured this month – closing a year-and-a-half long drought in that department. And also being played on the new Intellivision Sprint console… which means all that footage of the cart being inserted into the Intellivision II is just for show and means absolutely nothing… but hey, it’s the thought that count.

So I’m letting this go up earlier than usual because I figured, “Sure, why not?” That tends to happen every so often.

State Of The Blog – June 2026

First month of June… summer is around the corner and that means… nothing in particular. No wrestling posts and a tepid collection of video reviews before we end the month on a blue blur.

The week of June 27th to July 4th will be devoid of video content or anything remotely relevant, but it won’t be devoid of content period, as I’ll be posting a new Flash Fiction entry every day… by which I mean, this stuff was done months ago and will be published on a daily basis from the 27th to the 3rd. No content on the 4th of July because fuck our neighbors in the south for that week in particular before we go back to loving them again… or however we’re supposed to feel by the time that rolls around.

Anyhoo, more detailed update information after the break

Review #1326 – Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers 2 (NES)

The end of the Disney Afternoon week on the channel, the universe, and the most mind-blowing revelation since Baby Yoda getting punched in the face. And just because I feel like it, you’re getting this one early in the morning. All hail the once and future Squirrel Kings.

AEW Dynamite (May 27th, 2026) – Double Or Nothing Fallout Boy

Well, it’s the Dynamite after Double Or Nothing and there’s also an hour of Collision that I didn’t watch because the PVR didn’t catch it, which means that I missed the Kris Stat/Hikaru Shida Lights Out main event. Can we not have these 3-hours just be Dynamite and not some weird combination of one show that TSN airs with another hour of whatever. This is reminding me of that Impact/ReAction experiment that TNA tried back in the dark days where they’d have Impact end in the middle of their main event and then people would have to watch another show to see the rest of it. Fuck off with that noise, man.

Review #1325 – Ducktales 2 (NES)

Which is the graver injustice? That this sequel is better than the original game that people actually like or that Scrooge McDuck plagiarized all of Darkwing Duck’s best bits? I wish I could say “all this and more,” but really, all I do is talk about the game and the rest is saved for your imagination… such as it is.

AEW Double Or Nothing 2026

Yes, I saw Double Or Nothing… and yes, I also saw last night’s Dynamite. The latter gets musings tomorrow while the former… is what you’re reading right now. A bunch of folks had a get together on Monday that included a repeat viewing of Double Or Nothing, which is how I got to watch the show. Admittedly, there were moments where I had to step out for a bit, so I didn’t catch the whole show, but I did catch enough of it to say that I enjoyed most of what I saw. And also, it wasn’t as much of a drag as I’ve heard Wrestlemania was, which confirmed my decision to avoid that show.

Yes, there are the usual problems. Egregriously long runtimes and too many wrestling matches to remember – though in fairness, if TOO MUCH WRESTLING on your WRESTLING SHOW ends up being your biggest problem, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, now is it?

So, here we are… the eighth annual Double Or Nothing PPV event now airing from Queens, New York rather than Jacksonville or Las Vegas or some other rich place. Honestly, I appreciate AEW going to other places for their PPVs rather than sticking with the old standbys of diminishing returns. They need to get it through their skulls that they are not New Japan, they are never booking WrestleKingdom, and they can never do what that show does in making the Tokyo Dome a permanent home for any one event. Hopefully next year, we can stop making Wembley a thing and book next year’s All In someplace else… perhaps Saud… wait, never mind, bad idea.

Anyway, on witht the show.
