If You Can't Think Of A Good April Fools' Joke, Do An Irate Gamer Parody!

Guru Larry did a jokie video about Irate Gamer joining Blistered Thumbs… which was promptly removed from the BT site. Probably the first smart thing that Joe has done… maybe he isn’t that big of an idiot, after all.

Meanwhile, Linkara throws not ONE, but THREE jokey videos.

The first is a review of One More Day… which is just a minute of his bear sitting on a couch. Already, that bear is a far better reviewer than Linkara is these days.

The second review is on an issue of Titans. Here’s a summary; opening credits, short pause, IT SUCKS, end credits. Quite possibly the BEST Linkara video I’ve seen in years.

Finally, the main event joke, where he reviews the first issue of Hamilton Comics’ Mighty Morphin Power Rangers comic… oh wait, he’s doing an Irate Gamer parody. How droll.

What? Was Gamedude too sophisticated for you chuckleheads?

Mega Man Has No Universe

Welp, so much for that.

According to various gaming news sources or the (as of 2018, defunct) Blis tered Thumbs website, Capcom has officially cancelled the would-be downloadable game Mega Man Universe due to various circumstances. Many have cited the departure of Keiji Inafune from Capcom months ago as one of those circumstances.

Assuming this is legit and not an April Fools joke, I’m not all disappointed at this announcement. As much as I liked the customizable potential behind this game, I wasn’t really feeling this one. For all intents and purposes, the game felt like a glorified remake of Mega Man 2 and frankly, I don’t think the world needs another one of those.

DTM BLOG Classics #51 – Revisiting The “Secret Spider-Man” Movie

Today’s DTM Blog Classic archive post is something of a chronicle, covering a subject matter that I’ve touched on multiple times over the course of the blog’s life time. The majority of posts took place in 2004-2005, but the final thoughts came in 2011, which is why this is backdated to 2011 rather than when the earliest posts were done.

VIDEO COMMENTARY #07 – Riker Shills Something (Boole & Babbage "Trek Vision" Commercial)

2021 Update:
Software company Boole & Babbage commissioned a short commercial for their product which featured Jonathan Frakes in his role as Commander William T. Riker of Star Trek: The Next Generation talking to some poor fellow dealing with some stuff. It was a weird thing that garnered some reactions, including the above commentary track.
If you’re interested in more details behind the making of this commercial and how it came to be, Trekcore actually had an interview with one of the marketing people there in 2013, which you can check out with the following link. It’s an interesting read.

The commercial, sans my verbiage, can be seen below:
