I’m understandably fascinated with Probotector, the European version of Konami’s Contra series. Not that I’ve ever played any of these, but what a fucking name.

The covers kick a lot of ass, too.

New trailer. Haha, Naveen Andrews!

This trailer is just for Robert Rodriguez’s half, Planet Terror. I am way too excited for this shit.

Hypothesis: The Office is a comedy series starring famous black people such as Cedric the Entertainer and Eddie Griffin, and is mostly filled with jokes loosely related to the worlds of BARBERSHOP and UNDERCOVER BROTHER.

Why it Was Shot Down: My dad doesn’t think it’s funny.

The other day I was messing around with Photoshop on some downtime, and decided to try out a trick I learned from read Gabe from Penny Arcade’s art blog. It’s the bloom lighting effect he used on a piece of Gears of War artwork.

It turned out to be really easy, but it’s still pretty satisfying every time I pick up a new technique on PS.

Of course, it’s not perfect, and while it doesn’t really fit with the particular drawing, since it’s a low-quality bit I drew up in photoshop itself after first getting my tablet, it’s good to know!

While this will only be of interest to a fraction of you, my review of Ultraman: Season One, Part One just went up on KFCC.

I had to fight the urge to spend the entire review ranting about specific episodes, like one that shares a title with this very blog entry. Regardless of what you think of Ultraman, everyone should check out the set; Netflix it, buy it, whatever. It’s a lot of fun and there’s a ton of variety, whether you’re peepin’ it sober or under the haze of the siren’s gaze.

Did I just Reading Rainbow my own review here? Seriously, tokusatsu is the future of mankind. If we are to survive, we must watch.

Completely unrelated: I’m pretty amazed at webcomickers that update their strips consistently and are able to stay funny and entertaining. Coming from someone that has attempted on more than one occasion to make some funny-pages, it can be hard to continue coming up with great ideas on a regular basis. After all, Dune Buggy was just the same joke over and over (and yeah, I personally thought it was pretty funny).

While I’m sort of writing all over the place as far as topics go, I’ve been meaning to mention since January how disappointed I’ve been with my Garfield desk calendar. Prime offense: on Mondays, the image never shows him being gloomy!

It’s a bit rubbish.
