Live-Action Dragon Ball Z

Off the top of our collective heads, we could rattle off 20 or so anime that would make great live-action films. Dragon Ball Z is not one of them. DBZ isn't even in the top fifty. Or the top hundred. Dragon Ball works great as a manga, a cartoon and a game — but no way in hell should it be turned into a live-action movie. Too late! It's happening!! 20th Century Fox has lost any and all sense and has greenlit a US $100 million big screen version. The movie will shoot in Montreal next year, wrapping in July. That means there is still time to convince Fox this is a truly doofus of them.

Mega Man Music Pain!

Video game music cover bands are a dime a dozen. Regurgitating NES tunes with the standard guitar-bass-drums set up was cute when the Advantage and the Minibosses did it, but now, now it's just bordering on sad. That's why when someone writes rapid-fire lyrics and actually sings the melody from a Mega Man jam, it stands out. Sure, the singer may have a voice as good as mine (pure rubbish), but it's the enthusiasm that matters. If you really want the MP3, you can grab the song, a take on the Mega Man 2 theme titled Okkusen Man, here. More »

Clip: The Whole DoA Movie (Yes, The Whole Damn Thing)

Fair warning: Here's a Google video of the whole straight-to-video Dead or Alive film. Game site Destructoid has posted it, and now we will — Not really to share (we aren't that sick), but to see how long it takes before some lawyer tells us to take it down. It's already been up at Google for a month, so we doubt that anyone gives a flip. And to everyone involved in making this motion picture, we accept your apology. Sorta. Brian Ashcraft More »

sega

Sonic Childhood Spoiler

Bit about myself: As a kid, while my friends gravitated towards Nintendo consoles, I was a Sega guy. The only Sega guy on my block, thank-you-very-much. Sonic was the shiznit, but somewhere along the line, I lost interest. Then Sega unveiled a new title for the Xbox 360 and the PS3. Hands-on at TGS showed wonk controls, but still, it's Sonic and flat gameplay's forgivable, right? Slightly, yes; however, not this. Check out the above video and ask: Why Sega? Seriously, why?

New Pikachu Toy: Blight of Humanity

Pikachu is not your friend. Doesn't matter if toy maker Tomy has dubbed this torture device "Tomodachi Pikachu" (Friend Pikachu), the yellow pocket monster is the enemy and must be destroyed. And the 150 plus Pika words this stuffed demon speaks, thereby encouraging small children like my son to repeat over and over again? Hogwash. Those red light-up cheeks are a mere foreshadow to the blinding rage the product will ultimately unleash. That being said, I'll probably buy it for my son's birthday. Brian Ashcraft More »
