Mega Man’s 22nd Birthday featuring Keiji Inafune — Video Game Super Slam
WELCOME TO THE GUN SHOW. NO CONSOLE DEBATES ALLOWED. JUST PURE UNADULTERATED MAN POWER.
Today Is A Beautiful Day. Granted, it's technically 1AM my time and I am tired like no other, but It Is A Good Day Nonetheless. Why??
Capcom Unity, Capcom's in-house social networking site, hosted a Mega Man birthday party and streamed it live to the internet, registering 80,000 unique visitors watching the stream by the end of the two-hour production. Keiji Inafune, creator of the Megaman franchise himself was present, as was Hitoshi Ariga, mangaka for the up coming Mega Man Megamix comic books -- which, confirmed as of tonight, will be published stateside by Capcom's main squeeze Udon Comics. There were plenty of other important Japanese people and I'm sure they had names but I was sharing a video stream with 79,999 of my closest friends...it was kind of choppy. I missed their names. My apologies.
So, what came out of this little event? What was the BIG UNREVEALED NEWS?!
Comic Review: The Transformers
Well, IDW has done it again. There is a new jump on point for the IDW Transformers Generation 1 continuity. The big question is (whole point of the review): "IS it worth reading?" After the debacle of "All Hail Megatron", a reader may be weary of reading a whole brand new 'clean slate' comic series intended to draw in new fans.
Animu Review: Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
When I heard that Fullmetal Alchemist was going to be an anime, I was excited that a completely new and original show was going to be aired. In reality, if you watched the previous Fullmetal Alchemist you will be quite surprised with Brotherhood.
By Presidential Order: November Fan of the Month
Today is December 2nd, and that can only mean one thing. We forgot to award November's Fan of the Month! Not that any of you remembered enough to remind us. However, in the eternal spirit of cosmic justice, peace, and love, we forgive you. Now, let us dispense with formalities (or casualties, if you aren't taking this seriously either), and move on to the point of this postponed post posthaste.
