So Capcom unveiled the US cover art for Tatsunoko Vs Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars today. And I’m looking at it, and I’m thinking, “Wow, there are an awful lot of nearly identical robots, and dudes dressed like robots, nearly all of whom are white with red accents. Is this what 40 years of Japanese animation history looks like?” I would have at least tried not to showcase the sameness of the characters as much as this cover does. It’s a bit underwhelming.
I’m sure the game is going to be awesome and everything, but it’s looking a little bit like Mortal Kombat more than I’d like. Way, waaaay too much palate swapping for my tastes. Would it have really killed them to cut one or two robots or bird-helmet people in favor of, I dunno, Speed Racer or a Samurai Pizza Cat? Maybe someone that your average American has even heard of?
Transformers 2 was an okay film and everything, but we couldn’t shake the feeling that it could have done with more kickass cameos from the animated series or comic books. I know a lot of people have already started thinking about who they’d like to see make an appearance in Transformers 3, and we’re certainly no exception…
Following is a list of the top 5 characters from the Transfomers universe that we feel got the shaft this time around, and really ought to be included in the next sequel that is almost certain to follow:
Unicron
This one is a no-brainer. A short list of people, places and things that have been made Unicron’s bitch at one time or another:
Megatron
The Fallen
Whole planets
Orson Welles
Cybertron
Starscream’s Ghost
The Entire Universe
Unicron is the most badass Transformer by far, and poses a bigger threat to Earth than any other on account of the fact that he eats planets for fun. The only thing that can possibly defeat Unicron is “You Got the Touch”, by Stan Bush. Plus he has a sweet metal beard and ‘stache.
Dinobots
What’s more awesome than giant transforming robots you ask?
Anyone who wouldn’t be stoked to see Grimlock in Transformers 3 is completely missing the point of what awesome transforming robots are all about: Being Awesome. Read the rest of this entry →
If the Transformers movie and it’s upcoming sequel have taught us nothing else, it’s that Megan Fox is hot. Like, the Devil’s buffalo wings hot. I think there was something else too, but I’m having trouble remembering what that was… Oh yeah! I remember. The second thing was that Transformers + real life - AWESOMENICITY! Look no further for proof than these obviously staged but still incredibly rad real-life Transformer sightings!
We crash the party and sexually harass the models!
For the uninitiated, the Nerdcore calender is pretty much the most anticipated yearly planner/titty calender ever conceived by human hands. This year’s sci-fi theme is right in line with the things nerds like most: robots, lasers and boobs.
We sent our hottie reporter, Laryn Michael, to Golden Apple comics to interview Nerdcore co-founder Jon M. Gibson while we drank Colt 45 and tried to hit on the various Nintendo-addicted adult film actresses in attendance. Check it out!
Also feel free to take a one-handed look at these tastefully semi-censored preview images from this years’s awesome Nerdcore calender:
We live in a sick, sad world, in which people do the sorts of things that would make Caligula blush on a daily basis.
Despite the fact that there are numerous other things that should warrant our immediate attention, there are countless people willing to instead devote obscene amounts of time and money toward deciding whether or not certain people can legally get hitched. True story!
Two gay people getting married is hardly shocking or inappropriate next to the laundry list of horrible, reprehensible and criminal acts perpetrated by our fellow men and women upon us on a regular basis.
To further illustrate this point, I’ve compiled a comprehensive list of things that are significantly worse than gay marriage, but are not necessarily illegal (though they should be):
Having sex with a robot
Seriously, how is it not okay for a couple of gay men or women to get married when there’s people out there having sex with robots? At least a gay couple probably love one another. But a robot? Merely trading sexual favors for electricity and general maintenance my friend. Turn your back on your robo-mistress for one minute and she’ll be sucking off the next guy with a working electrical outlet faster than you can say 011101011011110101.
The new Chris Cornell/Timbaland album
Seriously dude, if your going to have an embarrassing mid-life crisis, do it on your own time. Read the rest of this entry →
