Hey look a movay

Cloverfield!

It was perfectly adequate!
The main characters were annoying! Especially the people who weren't the cameraman!
The monster looked pretty cool! It was like a gimpy slug crab thing!
The little dandruff monsters were okay too! They made funny noises!
This movie is pretty much defined by the word "Okay"!
The ending was fine! Who cares what gimpy-crab-slug really is!
If they ever follow this up, hopefully it's done as a crossover with another giant thing! Voltron, perhaps?
Go see it once, why not!

Damn

Wow.

Not that I care that much about Black Canary as a characters (or...at all), but still, that's...errr, I don't know what that is, but I can tell what it isn't: "good".

Oh, and two more of the Grant Morrison Doom Patrol trades are in my possession. I have now read the first one, which introduced me to the joy of the Beard Hunter, and the Sex Men. And Satan, who has a periscope on his head. And too many other great things. It should required reading for everything who can understand it, even though that a very small group of people. To remedy this, it's time to start a cult and get some mass conversion going!

And just as I was wondering when the final one comes out, I find out it came out last week. Jolly! But right after DP 5, Planetary! MmmmmmMmmmm.

Easter Candy Season Preview

As you probably remember, Easter candy starts showing up in January. Now, while cruising the local 7-11, I came across a new product from the masters at Cadbury - quite possibly the strangest yet. They are...Micro-Eggs. Yep, they took the regular mini-eggs, and made them SMALLER. Can't wait to see how these things turn out.

Where is Final Fantasy Tactics A2? I want it ever so much.

Things that don't make sense, among other things

Marvel Fairy Tales

S'rsly.

Anyway, I made another foolish decision:



Looking over who has linked to my videos, I found this blog which linked to it. I was awarded "one Internet". I am so very proud.

That particularly video has been seen over 1000 times...which the most out any of my videos, ever. Or, really, anything I've ever done. All because there are so few Grant Morrison and Alan Moore videos on Youtube (apparently), they ALL link to mine. Which is also kinda weird, because most of the people who view it (and comment about it) are NOT the Youtube Poop audience. Bwaaah.

This is the new post on this blog



This is a game called Growl, or Runark in Japan. It is yet another of the arcade beat-em-ups I do so adore. This one is particularly ridiculous, but in a good way. I will list the ways in which it is so:

-There are three types of enemies in the game: 1930s paperboys, businesswomen, and thuggees. That's it.
-This has some of the best, clearest voice acting of early games, albeit your characters sound like Garfield and the first thing you hear is an angry redneck, and later on one of the thuggees sounds like a gargling midget.
-As you can see from the above video, with the whip, you win. If you ever play this game, grab the whip. Who needs anything else?
-Bosses include a fat guy who throws a jeep at you, then 6 fat men with fezs, then the world's pussiest Jason Vorhees, 6 more fez-wearing fat men, an angry man who runs into a wall repeatedly, and three clones of the original jeep-carrying fat guy. All bosses explode after being defeated.
-Your characters are friends to all of God's creatures...except cave bats. Whip those bats to hell!
-The comical number of people who can be in one tank. Its like a clown car, without the clowns.
-The final boss is easily the best part of the game. Okay, first he's some hunched over guy wearing a tuxedo, a top hat, and a white mask, and he's carrying a tank. He has machine gun fingers, and a rocket launcher in his back. But even after defeating this monstrosity, it ain't over yet. As it turns out, the horrible superhuman freak was the vehicle for a...giant spinning worm. I love how the game informs you that this is the final boss, probably because you'd think that the joystick was secreting psychedelic drugs into your bloodstream and you're just hallucinating it.

In short, Growl is great and I love it with all my heart and soul.
