The Running Man: The Musical
It’s been a long time since I featured a legolambs musical. What’s wrong with me?
I love it! These guys, John and Al Kaplan, are musical geniuses! They produce some of my favorite Internet tunes. Their Conan the Barbarian: The Musical is not to be missed.
The Magic of the Internet Combines Star Wars and Britney Spears
It’s something only the Internet is capable of.
I don’t…I don’t know. There are few to no words available to process something like this. But clearly The Unusual Suspect had nothing better to do with his time. We should all be grateful for that, at least.
Literal Assassin’s Creed 4 Trailer
It has been too long since Tobuscus made a new Literal Trailer! Fortunately for us, it’s Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag!
Another fantastic job. The man knows lyrics.
But what the heck is up with video games this month, people? We went all summer without anything, but now in the span of a single month, we’ve got Grand Theft Auto V, Scribblenauts Unmasked, Pokemon X/Y, Marvel LEGO, Batman: Arkham Origins and Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag! I’m not made of money!
Which of those games are you guys and gals going to buy?
Sometimes the World Really is as Awesome as Teenage Mutant Koopa Troopas
Oh to be James Farr, with the computer wizardry know-how to make brilliant animated video game pop culture mash-ups. If I had skills and could get paid to do it, this might be my life. Like, how about Princess Peach crossed with Kill Bill? Or maybe Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi and Princess Peach as the colorful pilots of Voltron? You can have those for free, James Farr.
Hench-Sized Comic Book Reviews – 9/21/13
I wish I knew the rules for Villains Month when DC started handing out the assignments. There doesn’t seem to be any real point to all these issues, other than just existing to fulfill the marketing gimmick. Some of them have been origin stories. Some of them have been direct tie-ins to Forever Evil #1. And some of them have just be short and sweet villain showcases. Some have been really good, and some have been outright garbage. There doesn’t appear to be any rhyme or reason. And I would have really liked to have known that going in.
Fortunately, this week is mostly good issues – if we don’t count Deathstroke #1. Double fortunately, Marvel Comics is still going very strong. There’s another solid chapter of Battle of the Atom, though I found the issue a little…disconcerting. You’ll see why. I also liked Infinity a bit more than usual. So that’s a plus. But Comic of the Week has to go to Thor: God of Thunder #13, for being its usual awesome self! It even finds a fun way to incorporate an obvious movie-tie-in villain without seeming too gratuitous.
Though if I’m being fair, Moment of the Week has to go to Black Hand #1, when Black Hand’s zombie army faces off against a squadron of police officers.
Comic Reviews: Black Hand #1, Cheetah #1, New Avengers #10, Infinity #3, Penguin #1, The Rogues #1, Thor: God of Thunder #13, and Uncanny X-Men #12.
