This was done very quickly and very crudely… but for those wanting to believe that one kiss in the movie trailer meant the same for the “prime” universe versions of that particular pairing, you’d have to also believe that soft-spoken Trini had to… well, you know.
You could probably paint a better mental image in your brain.
Been considering putting some doodles of mine up online for all to enjoy or mock, whatever floats your boat. Here’s a doodle of the Huckster pointing at a wall, somewhat inspired by one of Hogan’s WCW promos during the company’s final years. The markers I used aren’t fantastic, but they worked well enough for a quick thing.
So this is the new Impact Wrestling logo courtesy of the Anthem Sports company who bought TNA. Since everyone has said their piece in recent weeks, I might as well chime long after this bares relevance in regards to anything.
So… this is a really stupid looking logo. Not offensive, but just really stupid.
Even without the obnoxious blue bird hovering over the title, this still looks like some amateur found some text warping features in an ancient version of Paint Shop Pro, drew a couple extra lines, and VOILA! New logo! It is a considerable stepdown from the previous Impact Wrestling logo (which I didn’t care much for, either.)
Any chance we can go back to the show’s original logo from 2004-2011… you know, the one they had before “wrestling mattered” or whatever their stupid tagline was.
Yeah, so I’m holding off restarting YouTube stuff until Friday. That way, I only have to worry about a “quick” DTM Rambles video and a pick-up video before starting reviews in February again.
Instead of a video for today, here’s the new trailer for that upcoming Power Rangers movie due in March. Where we get to see the suits in action for a brief instance… and they look okay. Nothing more, nothing less.
This looks somewhat promising, which is surprising to me considering how lukewarm I was to the idea initially. This has upgraded those feelings to somewhat cautiously optimistic. I may very well see this in the cinema – might as well since I saw the other two flicks and may as well keep that tradition going. If nothing else, the cup gag earned a chuckle, so that has to be worth something.
Power Rangers is due March 23.
A couple thoughts, actually…
1) Very smart idea to call this Double Dragon IV… so we could try and forget about the Double Dragon V game that was released in 1994. That was the subpar fighting game based on the subpar animated series for anyone who is wondering… I have a review on said game that I did a few years back. Also, if this is Double Dragon IV then where does that leave Super Double Dragon?
2) Goddamn does this look shit. I mean, I get what they’re trying to go for here with the whole 8-bit throwback style that’s been beaten to death over the years, but this looks like somebody stuck ancient NES sprites onto ill-fitting backgrounds, much like a lot of older fangames made in Multimedia Fusion way back when. This feels like amateur hour.
Late to the train, but here’s Conan O’Brien and Elijah Wood playing (and mocking) Final Fantasy XV. Funny how “blue balls waste of time” is a rather apt descriptor for this series as of late, but whatever.
They booked the match to promote a new video game. So here’s the same match done in an old video game. Featuring rambly commentary.
A plug-and-play NES console with 30 built-in NES titles, HDMI output, and suspending play functionality? And you can (possibly) use the included controller on the Wii (U) Virtual Console? That’s actually pretty sweet. And the list of games included is nice, varied, and not strictly first-party. Mind you; there’s a couple games I would rather have in there over others. Would’ve been nice to have Castlevania III in there to complete the trilogy or one of the Natsume titles like Shatterhand, Shadow of the Ninja, or the Power Blade games… toss in the Lost Levels instead of flippin’ Ice Climber. But… baby steps.
NES plug-and-plays have existed before (in less official capacities and also, quite frankly, much shoddier build qualities), but an officially licensed one from Nintendo is a rarity. Who knows? It might do well for those who haven’t dumped money into a Wii or a Wii U and just want a nice, convenient piece of nostalgia to play their old favorites. Or maybe some folks will just want the controller for nostalgia sessions on their Wii.
And please don’t bother with the tired “emulators” route. The fact is some folks don’t like or don’t want to go that route and would prefer more official means. How many Sega Genesis plug-and-plays are floating out there and still making? The things obviously sell, so there’s an interest.

On the one hand… they look stupid.
On the other hand… the old Playmates toys from a couple decades back had their share of stupid shit.
Though, I have to say I’m surprised they didn’t turn one of the Turtles into Roman Reigns, who supposed to be the chosen one and the next “big star.”
But not big enough to be turned into a Ninja Turtle.
Unless they turn him into Venus De Milo.
On second thought… let’s not. Even Venus deserves better than that.
