Hopefully anyone coming to the site listens to the show, and if you do, you’ve probably heard me make reference to how the traffic here has dropped drastically. While I have a pretty solid idea of why, namely that Google’s Image searching function now allows people to view pictures without actually giving sites their hits, … Continue reading →

Toy Fair is almost here, and after exercising a relatively large amount of restraint in going too crazy with this post so I could actually have it up in time, I’ve put together what I really want the different brands/lines to show me this year: stuff that would just leave me floored for the most part. … Continue reading →

Anyone who’s listened to the show for a decent length of time knows that I’m a big Metroid fan. Anyone who’s been reading the news every week knows I’ve been freaking out over Max Factory getting the license to make Metroid goods, even if they’re based on the less-than-stellar Other M. So does the final … Continue reading →

Did you guys hear about how The Hobbit will be three films now? I haven’t read the press release on why Peter Jackson arrived at this particular thought but whatever; I already know the end result being either padding the films with original stuff or covering the events of the book in utterly exquisite detail. At this point, … Continue reading →

I’m back from Paris and Prometheus, the most anticipated film of the summer, has seen release at last. As people basically hop on the “absolutely great and you’re dumb for not getting it” vs. “absolutely awful and overanalyzing throwaway lines doesn’t make you smart” thought processes, I’m going to hang out over here until I get … Continue reading →

In the pantheon of movies I probably had no right to see at the age of 4, Robocop is probably the one I loved the most. Of course, it doesn’t help that most rated ‘R’ movies in the 80’s had accompanying toylines to sell to kids, but the idea of a cyborg fighting both evil drugdealers … Continue reading →

Can you believe the Oscars last night? Well I can but I’m going to avoid really going into it as I’m trying to save some of that for when we record tonight. Anyway, stuff besides that happened and here’s some of the stuff that struck my fancy in the past week between taking pictures … Continue reading →

Hey another week has passed and while Toy Fair is still going, there’s plenty of other interesting things to dwell on to distract me from how annoyed I am that Marvel Universe is getting more characters I want than Marvel Legends currently is. Won’t you look at some pretty pictures with me and visit … Continue reading →

Can there be some sort of ban on naming cats in pop culture “Schrödinger”? We get it, you’re clever guys; seriously, that was clever for like 12 seconds back in 1970. Stop it. For real this time. It led to that truly awful joke in the Minority Report/Tron riff in that one Futurama episode and trust … Continue reading →
