So In this most recent podcast I mentioned that I’m trying to get back into anime. Then I got to thinking about my top 10. Now if anyone is interested in that, I'll include that in a separate post. One of my favorite anime and manga properties is a Shōnen series called Kinnikuman (Japanese: キン肉マン , lit. "Muscleman"). It’s a story about superheroes who wrestle, it's kind of awesome. I mentioned this series a few months back in an IT CAME FROM JAPAN segment on the on the podcast. The only thing I love more than comics and cartoons are action figures from said comics and cartoons. I, however, have very little Kinnikuman merch at all. The reason for this is when I got into the series was when the Ultimate Muscle anime was on the Fox Box (remember that one kids) and dubbed by 4kids . Bandai of America did have toys for the anime. They brought over the Kinkeshi rubber-mini figures as well as 6 inch hyper-pose-able figures. I had one or two of the 6 inch figures...

Ok so one of my favorite RPG game developers is BioWare. They were originally known for their fantasy RPG series Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights both based on the pen and paper RPG franchise: Dungeons & Dragons. Now in 2003 they made a takeoff hit with Lucas Arts in the form of Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic (KOTOR). KOTOR was one of the best games of that generation hands down. It added awesome features such as a morality system; however something else it did was give depth to the point you could form relationships with your party members. This even allowed for romantic relationships with a few characters. This would become a staple in future BioWare games. With the new found success BioWare ventured away from licensed games and began creating original IPs. Now in 2007 BioWare made their spiritual Star Wars successor Mass Effect. Mass Effect was a science fiction/action RPG that followed similar mechanics to BioWare’s past RPGs. It had a morality system, and it went...

So in my last blog a said I would take on a retrospective review of Power Rangers By seasons and that project is still happening it was just a bigger undertaking than I thought it would be. I'm am half way done and I needed to take a break from it so I did and found that I can't wait till I get done because season 2 and on will be much simpler. Now on to the question at hand i'm wanting to do another lets play series on twitch  but I don't know what I want to play.  Now I could do another minecraft run but I would have to come up with some interesting goals for that series. An ideas let me know. Now I've gotten into A minecraft esq clone called Terraria now if I do this it would have to be a normal mode run stopping after the Wall of Flesh. Now with both of these I would rather do a multiplayer stream.  Now another idea one that I am fond of is doing a Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic run as it is one of my favorite RPGs and i'm kinda on a star wars kick. A...

So I recently got caught up with one of my favorite reviewer and internet personalities Linkara 's (aka Lewis Lovhaug) show History of Power Rangers (HOPR). He started the show back April of 2010 and has been updating it as he get caught up on each show. He recently put out his take on Operation Overdrive and that got me thinking. Linkara has been a huge inspiration to me, this blog, and in some parts the podcast as well (there are a lot of people who inspired the podcast). Now the thought that I got was why haven't I done a Review/Retrospective of Power Rangers. The answer to that is well not all of my listeners/readers are Power Ranger fans to the extent I am. Now I recently changed my mind about this when a friend got me an early birthday present of Turbo a Power Ranger Movie   on DVD. Now you may be asking why did a friend have to get it for me. Well I do own a copy but it is VHS and sadly my VCR does not work any more, and with the confusion in the last few years of the...

Hyrule Warriors is here and to celebrate the final character in my favorite character countdown is Link ah but which Link. Number 1:  Hero of Time. Now this link wasn't always my favorite Link, but after his third appearance. That’s right he has been in three games he stared in two and returned to teach the hero in the third. But we will address those games as they come but let us start with the first game OOT. This is where we are introduced to this Link as a young boy who lives in the forest with a childlike race called Kokiri . One day he awoke to find that he now like the rest of the Korkri had a fairy partner named Navi. He was then tasked by the Great Deku Tree to save the kingdom of Hyrule.  After gathering the three stones he enters the temple of time and draws the Master Sword. He was then sealed inside the temple for 10 years. After he awoke he was now an adult however Hyrule had fallen. This link would then journey to find the sages and ...

So now on to my favorite Zelda, and I know what your thinking aren’t they all the same. The Answer is No they are not all the same.  Epically my two favorites Zeldas So on with the count down. Number 2:  The Not Zeldas Sheik and Tetra.     Now I Know what you thinking you can’t have two favorites then this is a top six. To you I reply, ‘I do what I want!” but I will give you more detail on why these two earn my admiration. Ok so Sheik is from OOT and appears to help Link in the second half of the game. It’s only revealed at the end that Sheik was Zelda is disguise.  You spend the whole game wondering who this person could be. They claimed to be Sheikah however they look nothing like the one person who is established as the last of the Sheikah Impa. They have blond hair and fair skin. Ok if your wonder why I’m avoiding gender pronouns it is never made clear how the Sheik transformation works. If you read the manga adaptation Sheik is a dud...
