A Delay In Video Means I Can Talk About This…

More deal into the gameplay, which includes custom chips for custom abilities – either collectables or a shop mechanic in place. We also see a new Robot Master (the eloquently named “Twinkle Girl”) as well as an old Robot Master (Mega Man 8 & Bass’ Astro Man), which implies some old faces returning. And speaking of which, although not seen in-game, presser material unveils that Proto Man will be a playable character.

Oh, and the new Override system… which is a kill shot similar to Mega Man 11’s Double Gear kill shot that’s active on desperation… a little less enthused on that, but hey, let it play out and see where it goes.

New review (not Mega related) will be up later tonight because I forgot to upload it. Sorry.

There Is A Golden Axe Cartoon Coming… And It’s A Thing…

Believe me when I say that calling this “a thing” is probably the nicest thing I have to say about this. And once I knew Mike McMahan was one of the dudes behind this – he of Lower Decks fame – I had a feeling on where this was headed.

For what it’s worth, I did like Lower Decks. It took a while to grow on me, but it did, eventually… but that doesn’t necessarily mean I want another cartoon in that vein. That brand of comedy starts to wear itself thing. Small doses, I can accept. Series after series of this stuff, however? No thanks.

Oh well… we’ll see how the diehards react, point and laugh accordingly, and move on with our lives.

The Irate Gamer (Yes, THAT Irate Gamer) Is Writing A Book On Unreleased NES Games

Remember Chris Bores? Remember the Irate Gamer? They’re one and the same. Anyway, he has a new book coming out that’s all about unreleased NES games and it’s the ULTIMATE GUIDE to unreleased NES games.

Yes, the guy who brought you Ghost Hunting 2.0 is writing a book about unreleased NES games. Some call that Pat fellow and tell him he’s being robbed or something. I don’t know.

In all seriousness, good for him. Wish him all the best. Not sure if I’ll grab a copy for myself, but considering I had a (digital) copy of his other book somewhere, I figure why not? It can’t be any worse than the Moviebob book, anyway.

Yes, even now, I still remember the day Bob Chipman ruined Super Mario Bros. 3 for me… best not reopen old wounds.

Strange New Worlds Season 4 Trailer

You notice that in all these teasers and trailers that they’ve put out since the first one… they never once mentioned the muppet?

Don’t think that I forgot about that, kid.

Beyond that, though? Looks promising enough… nice to see them explore some strange new worlds rather than explore some strange big swings that fail miserably. Bit of an issue having way too much Kirk here, but I guess that’s going to be inevitable in these closing hours of this five-year mission… if only it had been five years rather than… every once in a while when it’s convenient to the scheduling.

Season 4 premieres in July.

Brand New Day… The Movie

I am conflicted. On the one hand, it looks like a promising flick. It hits all the right notes. And it feels like the first time that Todd Holland gets to play in an old-school, back to basics Spider-Man flick.

On the other hand, though… knowing how often the Marvel train derailed itself so many times with empty promises and lackluster returns…

I don’t know… I want to give this thing a chance because it looks like a fun time, but I’m weary of another theatrical letdown…

I don’t know, kids… we’ll see.

Supergirl In One Week

Supergirl is due in theaters next week, if I’m not mistaken. Get your tickets now because we need a trailer for that, I guess.

I haven’t said much about Supergirl around these parts and part of that is because I’m not sure how to feel about this one. I’ve watched the past couple trailers for this thing and I’m like “meh.” Even for this new trailer, I’m just largely ambivalent.

To tell you the truth, I don’t know why that is. Granted, I’m not all that familiar with the Woman Of Tomorrow mini that the movie is largely based on, so this is largely new territory. But also, I’m not excited in the same way I was for Superman, which felt like a breath of fresh air after the dour Snyder stuff.

But also, it had Krypto.

Yes, Supergirl has Krypto, too… but all these trailers tell me is that she does a worse job of taking care of Krypto than her cousin does.

Huh… maybe that’s why I’m ambivalent towards Supergirl’s latest cinematic escapade.

Anyway, I’m on the fence about this one. Not sure about a first weekend viewing or if I’ll hold off until home video hits. Hope it turns out well, though. I’d hate for anyone to come out of this thinking that the one with Helen Slater was better.

Commodore – Yes, THAT Commodore – Wants To Sell You A Flip Phone… Really

So someone bought the old Commodore name – you know, the company that gave you Commodore 64, VIC-20, and Amiga computers – and decided that they’re going to create an old school flip phone like those that existed in the turn of the 21st century. And they’re going to sell you these things for five hundred bucks a pop.

They know that you can get cheaper versions for 100 bucks a pop, right? Why waste all that cash that could have gone to a new computer instead?

Oh well… best of luck to them, I guess.

 

Can We Fire Logan Paul?

Local hero Joe Hendry asking the hard questions… and if not, then why not?

Seriously, though, good for Joe. Glad to see WWE lean into his musical talents and letting him do these music videos. That’s what got him into the dance. Lean into it. Use it. It’s a rare gift. In a time of uncertainty, we could all use a little levity.

Wishing that man all the success in the world.

I still believe…

Oh, and Danhausen trolling Miz is fun, too…

Good for him, I guess…
