Month: December 2007

Though this may be an irrelevant note since I didn’t mention I was going!

I visited King Canaan for his birthday extravaganza (courtesy of his majesty’s fair lady), saw the Badass Brooklyn Beast Pete Petrone and, much to my blustery chagrin, also spent some time with that rogue Pat Sanders.

One of the greatest discoveries, however, was Toy Zipangu. I’m a big fan of Toy Tokyo, yet the ratio of sentai toys to non-sentai toys in Zipangu was completely insane. It’s a tiny place, but they have a straight across row of shelves consisting entirely of robots (or “Zords,” if you like) from Changeman to Dairanger and so on.

Now you must stone me with red hot rocks, for I bought nothing!

Oh my, a new issue of Otaku USA is out! You will surely all delight in knowing that the cover story with the big orange ninja on it was written by Yours Truly! See also: Television games section with Senor Coco & Friends and a big honkin’ ridiculous DBZ spread.

PLUS: Articles by many other superstars, including but not limited to head honcho Patrick Macias, the AWO crew, manga maniac Jason Thompson, and Film Mogul J.L. Carozza!

Residents of the USA circa 2002 can expect to be treated to the hottest gaming mag on the block soon! That’s right, Pat Sanders and Joseph Luster are retroactively wheeling their videogame magazine into the past via a crude Stargate curiously located in or around Sanders’ rectum. Newsstands from five years ago are reportedly “excited to see if this works,” while others are either blissfully unaware or “nervous about the idea of a magazine traveling through a rectal wormhole.”

Here’s the cover of their first issue, which was (previously thought to be) doomed from the start. Though there is no real content inside its pages, Sanders is “confident that the magazine will be filled and fully designed at some point during the time travel process.”

On the subject, Managing Editor Joseph Luster had this to say: “We haven’t worked on [Game Renaissance] in years, but I’m sure that it will sell well in the past because I am on the cover in Freddy Kreuger makeup.”

I’m assuming the following video is taken from the extras on the Super Mario Bros. Super Show DVD (which I need to Netflix badly). In it, you will study the career pinnacle of our Planet Earth’s greatest wrestler turned actor.

Personally, I think Albano’s portrayal of Mario Mario is flawless. If he and Danny Wells had been tapped to star in a much different Super Mario Bros. movie, the world would be a strange and wonderful utopia today, and this humble blog would no doubt be beamed onto every electronic billboard and television screen in Times Square!

I meant to bring this up the other day, but my interest in the Speed Racer flick jumped from zero to somethin’ else once I saw the trailer. I don’t like the Wachowski Bros., but if the final cut ends up being as Cutey Honey live action as this makes it out to be, I’m there. Maybe I’m just starting to like really retarded movies?
