Keiji Inafune making SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR to ‘MEGA MAN’ called ‘MIGHTY NO. 9’; needs us to KICKSTART THIS BEAST
Keiji Inafune is leaning on us to help him out. Why should we lend a hand? The dude only created Mega Man. Now he wants to launch the spiritual successor to his iconic franchise, and it goes by the name of Mighty No. 9. The only problem? Dude needs like a solid milli. Milli buckos to get this fucker off the ground.

Official: BRADLEY COOPER voicing ROCKET RACCOON in ‘GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY.’
I enjoy Bradley Cooper. His musk. Those eyes. His acting prowess. I also am learning to love Rocket Raccoon. His tail. His intellect. His capacity for murdering baddies. How well will these two entities mesh in Guardians of the Galaxy? I don’t know. But I’m eager to find out.
KURT RUSSELL is in talks for ‘FAST AND FURIOUS 7.’ Snaketastic.
There is a good chance that Kurt Russell is coming to Fast and Furious 7. Snake Plissken sharing the same screen as The Rock? I am unworthy. Is it too early to talk Oscar-winning? Best Movie of All Time? Juuussstt kidding. A bit.
OMEGA-CAST #6: The End of Summer Meltdown
Lay the plastic down underneath your feet, tighten your diaper, and get ready. The end of the summer brings the longest OL podcast yet. The gang cover a variety of topics inside its rotting walls. From a summer movie wrap-up, to Bateman’s insulin pumps. Featuring audio from both Caff’s recent squatchin’ trip where he talks Batfleck, and the Toronto Fan Expo where Budrickton recounts how he got Carrie Fisher to hold up a Yubstep t-shirt.
It’s all inside.
Nintendo president calls PS4, XBOX ONE launch line-ups “MEH.”
This is amazing. Reggie Something-Such has spent the last year seeing his Wii U largely forgotten by the world. But that ain’t stopping him from throwing around some disparaging remarks about his competition. When asked what he thought of the Xbox One and PS4 line-ups, duder dropped a “meh.”
Press Start: Nut Sacks & Narcissism
Something has happened to me lately, something that is causing me to feel old; dusty; a withered nut suck harping on about how the purity of gaming is becoming lost. I hate myself for it, but struggle as I might, it seems that I can’t make sense of something. I can’t explain what is going on with Bungie’s newest game –Destiny.
Opinions Vary: Don’t Get Back on the Bus
Well, folks. It’s that time again: back to school for students and educators!
The excitement is palpable beyond belief. Eager children, having had a couple of glorious, sun-soaked months off from school to rejuvenate, are now primed for further enlightenment in the coming year. These little self-starters are just chomping at the bit to get back and they’re not going to let anything impede their educational development. Thanks to these ever-buoyant students, the future looks incredibly bright, indeed. Read the rest of this entry »
Buy These Flippin Comics!!! (8/28/13) Drrrrrrty Pop!
Hey, kids! So it’s Wednesday, and I assume we’ve all calmed down after flipping our collective shits from the pop-culture orgy/last-train-to-nowhere that is the VMAs. I’m old, and pop music gets me all kinds of jaded, but the VMAs still managed to teach me a lesson: America THRIVES on nostalgia, even nostalgia that isn’t even 20 years old (see the above pic). I, myself, am currently gushing over an “event” book that, when boiled down to its essentials, is nothing more than a comic scientifically engineered to tickle my 12-year-old pickle. Thanos is my Justin Timberlake. N’Sync are my Infinity Gems. Comic books, particularly superhero ones, are every bit as nostalgic and regressive as the boy-bands and teen vixens of pop music. So while I scoff at the proles going batshit over 10 year old hooks sang by grown men with receding hair lines trying their damndest to recreate moves no thirtysomething should have to attempt (looking at you Fat One), I massage my own nostalgia-boner to pretty pictures of ageless Avengers saddling up for one last ride into the aether in a story not quite called Infinity Gauntlet 2: The Soich For More Money, but may as well be.
Say my name! “Hypocrite.” You’re goddamned right.
So hit the jump and let’s get nostalgic, shall we?
Zack Snyder sort of doesn’t get SYMBOLISM; Thinks ‘Man of Steel’ destruction “enhances the myth.”
Zack Snyder continues to amaze me. It really blows my mind how he continues to blow my fucking mind. Frat Boy Rock has come out to discuss the endless destruction in Man of Steel and spends most of the time puking all over himself with terms he wields clumsily. (I’m an idiot too, don’t think I’m feeling superior.)
WORLD OF WARCRAFT MOVIE to begin filming in January. Say oh?
The World of Warcraft movie is really going to exist, huh? I can’t believe it. Every time I think it’s drifted into the Ether, some new development is rocketed around the inter-pipes. Forcing me to go, “oh yeah fuck, huh?” The latest example of this is the announcement of a filming start date.
