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.
But at least she has a crack medical team in her corner.
All jokes aside, wishing her well on recovery and hope she makes the show.

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.
It’s the sequel to Zelda at home… or is it the Second Quest? Either way, it’s Neutopia II and we’re here to investigate why there wasn’t a Neutopia III… except not really.
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.
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.
On what is traditionally Review A Great Game Week On this channel, we look at the Neutopia duology that graced the TurboGrafx-16. Are these shameless Zelda ripoffs or is there a little more to it with these games?
Well, let’s just say that there’s a reason that Zelda is a beloved franchise that thrives to this very day while Neutopia… is not. So the obvious question boils down to are these any good? With that in mind, I did play both Neutopia games via Wii Virtual Console because those versions have a save function that would normally require a Turbo Booster or one of those things that saves games. It’s probably the best way to play these… or at least, it would be if Wii Shop was still a thing, which it isn’t… and that makes me sad.
Neutopia II follows on Wednesday.
Hello, sorry for the late post. Had Easter dinner with the family. Largely enjoyable fare; turkey and such… and then I went to bed with a stomach ache… which, to be fair, was already a thing due to something I may have eaten the day before. And there’s a plumbing issue that needs to be resolved on Tuesday, so that’s fun.
Was going to do a video update today, but decided not to bother. Not in the mood and it’s a bit late. The video schedule on the State of The Blog should be up to date, though. Or we could change it again… maybe.
Reviews resume tomorrow via regular schedule.
First, it was the MYSTERY BOX and who did it turn out to be?
Danhausen.
Not a big deal for me, perfect fit for WWE, but clearly people wanted someone else and they’re not getting them.
Now, we have the MYSTERY CALLER of Randy Orton. Oooh, lots of hype for that, huh? Big time Wrestlemania main event that was booked almost last minute and we have a mystery caller?
And who did it turn out to be?
Pat MacAfee.
No, really.
Could this have something to do with that one person who was rumored to show up for months, only for him to show up on the other show instead?
I don’t know… maybe…
But I do know one thing: McSon-In-Law should really stop doing mystery angles. The payoff for these things suck and with this and all these empty promises of era-defining moments that never happen, he’s practically turning into Dixie Carter. That’s not a good thing.
You know… sometimes, finding out about these things online is the only real way to go. It saves the time and investment wasted on underwhelming pay-offs.
I’ve touched on this briefly… and I’ll continue to touch on this briefly because not much is known about either book beyond what little nuggets have been given to use from pressers. All we know is that there’s a new Power Rangers Unlimited series and a new Power Rangers Green series… because we can’t just call it The Adventures Of Jason David Frank Tommy Oliver and just straight make it clear who the star of this series is. Get over yourselves, folks. You’re not that clever in your naming conventions… or your Ranger designs… or your Megazord kitbashing… or your plot devices… or your… wait, what was I talking about?
Right now, very little is known about the new Unlimited book other than it’s an anthology of sorts spanning the different series. Considering the take that Boom has on these series, it’s all just window dressing to introduce whatever fanfic redesigns they want to introduce. Fill in the blanks like any good fanfiction would, but I guess it’s official canon until it isn’t.
As for the Green book, the JDF wet dream of TOMMY VERSUS THE UNIVERSE RAR?!! “If only he had been around to see it happen and wish he had been a part of it” would be the only response I’d have to this thing. Hell, it’s the only response I’d have to any of this, other than the eternal questioning of whatever happened to the Legend Of The White Dragon that was supposed to have come out years ago and is still apparently stuck in limbo?
Now I rag on these because I feel like it… but if they somehow make it work, then kudos. I’ve seen comics with bad idea on paper that somehow work. It’s just that given Boom’s prior output in the realm of Power Rangers – despite the critical and commercial acclaim – doesn’t inspire much confidence. Hopefully, I’m proven wrong and these turn out great. I’m more than willing to give each one a shot when it comes around.
