Just beat Super Paper Mario for the wii and it ends with a sweet if not corny way. Now the Wii will go dark until somebody releases something Im interested in playing for it. Of course Nintendo has things coming but the third party stuff is just kind of subpar so far don’t you think?
Picked up The Fountain and Pan’s Labrything on DVD today both of which I highly recommend.
O.k. when I got my Wii I was so excited for the new way to play and Zelda was freaking fantastic. I broke down a while later and got a 360 for all the fancy graphics and larger style games. Guess what? I’ve only been playing the old games availble through the download service Live Arcade. And it is Awesome. Playing TMNT arcade again with four other people is great. Playing a bout of worms for world domination? Great. Playing UNO. Werid but great.
And this wenesday MS is giving us a free sidescrolling 2-d shooter Aegis Wing that up to four people can play at once. Im in love with a service and its LIve Arcade. It’s sad because as much promise as the Wii’s Virtual COnsole had/has the lack of online really is killing some of the multiplayer classics.
Went to see all those wonderful bands last night at the mill.
short review pretty frakking good.
im tired.
Sega announced today that they are bringing their arcade light gun Ghost Squad game to the Wii. Makes sense. With the Wii controller all you have to do is point and shoot, much like those old arcade games. Anyone want to wager we will see a nintendo zapper before too long? I mean Duck Hunt is still one of the most requested virtual console games. House of the Dead would play better on the wii than any of it’s previous home conversions. I could pony up money for some Zombie killing fun. Bring on Time Crisis, Operation Wolf and err Hogan’s Alley. I’m sold.

Spiderman3 for all intents and purposes is a pretty good movie. It’s just kind of boring? The action sequences lack any real punch or atmosphere and Topher Grace as Venom is pretty awful. No where near as cool as it could be. Sandman is kinda cool but also was done with the mummy like ten years ago. The one spot this movie shines is between the Dunst and Maguire but it’s also got a lot of missteps there as well. Overall it’s the worse of the three and I can honestly say I don’t need a Spider Man 4 for quite some time. Time to hang up these tights. One sequel in the summer of sequels down. Hopefully we will go on a upswing from here.
Just got back from planet Comicon a smaller sized comic book convention in Kansas City. Got some good trades at 50 percent off a cylon minimate and saw some neat up and coming artists. Also got to go to a panel with Richard Hatch from Battlestar Galactica( my favorite show still on the air) and saw Mr. Jim Lee in person. For good or not he is the artist that changed the comic book industry in the early nineties for me and a bunch of others and then changed it again when his Wildstorm went to DC. Pretty good con, I could see us attending as a vendor once we get the Poster Series rolling.
So I’ve been aware of all the fan made films of Star Trek on the web the past couple of years. Exeter and New Voyages never really drew me in. Not that they were bad by any means, I just couldn’t really get into it. Now I’ve seen this trailer for Of Gods and Men and seen the actual trek alumni in it and Im kinda blown away. It looks like more fun than any episode of Voyager ever was and it’s a mirror universe tale so how can I pass that up? Walter Koening can play evil. I wonder how weird it is for these actors to be going back to these characthers for free after so long. I mean did anyone think we would see Uhuru on screen again? Even on the Innertube. My geek sense is tingling and I love this trailer. you can see and learn more at startrekofgodsandmen.com

Ok. After a number of comic projects which thankfully no one outside of this house will see I am returning to the Peas landscape. It’s full color, and I have a few pages completed already. I hope to have a small print run by the end of the year. Small as in 150-300 copies and it will be available through us. It’s been a while since I visited Bob and Sally and I’m surprised at how much I am enjoying creating them in color.
Two comics worth your money today as Whedon gets all touch feely with the X-men in the way only Whedon can
and then there’s the return of everyone’s favorite hornless devil
Hellboy Darkness Calls #1 of 6. A strong first issue and a nice set up for some weird fun which, is of course what Hellboy does best. Does anyone else agree that Dave Stewart is one of the best colorist working the field? He just commands the mood of the entire Hellboy comics universe.
