Videos produced by other people and posted on the blog because I feel that they’re worth watching. A volatile category due to videos sometimes going offline for various external reasons.

Go Go Pee In That Cup (The Power Rangers 2017 Trailer)

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.

Double Dragon IV… and it looks awful.

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.

Ashens’ Terrible Old Games Seminar Thing

Cool little lecture that Stuart Ashen did at August’s Norwich Gaming Festival, where he talks about terrible computer games and even lets a couple people play this horrible things.

Original video description:
Stuart Ashen, guest lecturer and local YouTube celebrity, will be talking about terrible old games in the wake of his recently published book Terrible Old Games You’ve Probably Never Heard Of.

Terrible Old Games You’ve Probably Never Heard Of is a compendium of some of the most painfully bad games available for the European home computer market from the early eighties to the mid nineties. It is based on Stuart’s YouTube series of the same name.

New Star Trek Beyond Trailer… Now This Is More Like It

Janet Maslin once started her 1982 review of Star Trek II: The Wrath Of Khan with the words, “Now this is more like it.” The same can be said for this second trailer, which does a far better job of selling the upcoming (3rd in the current series/13th overall) film than the controversial teaser released months ago. Your mileage may vary, but as far as I’m concerned? This is more like it.

Thanks For The Memories, Bryan…

With word that Daniel Bryan Danielson is retiring, I offer two videos for viewing in celebration of an amazing career.

First up, my montage video of Bryan kicking John Cena’s head in. It remains my most viewed video (and almost immediately nailed for Content ID, thus assuring I wouldn’t be doing these often.

An old match from 2007, future WWE World champion Daniel Bryan Danielson takes on future NXT champion Prince Devitt a.k.a. Finn Balor in a tournament match for the then-vacant NWA World Heavyweight Championship that would eventually be won by future WWE trainer Adam Pearce.

Thanks for the memories, Bryan. Thanks for the memories and thanks for the last genuine feelgood moment in WWE.
