Set Your Jealousy Rays to "Stunned"

Not much to report today, unless you count the receiving of the promo that you would all kill your mothers for! I would write about it, but a simple photograph is probably enough to get you all hot and bothered.

Other than that, I’ve been watching the Devil Lady anime after having owned it for a long time, and am currently trying to deal with the fact that it’s really not very good. The premise is great, as is the music, but it looks like it was animated in Somalia.

Retro Game Ads Rebirth: Alien Syndrome

I want to start talking about awesome old-school video game adverts in here, but I’m going to kick off with something really new. The below ad is for Sega’s Alien Syndrome game on Wii; I scanned it in from the back of the latest EGM. Why did this catch my eye?


Computer-colored comic look aside, the ad is straight out of 1989. Though it doesn’t go my preferred route of browbeating the consumer into purchasing the game through big font humiliation, the top-running text is certified dynamic.

Indeed, friends, you have to earn that Nanobot-Swarm-Cannon! It would have been off the scales if it ended that exclamation by calling the reader a “bozo.”
