Robot Master Saturday #19

Welcome back to an often delayed series about my crummy drawings from circa 1990. Today's robot is called Top Man. He's a top. He spins.




He even has those built in roller skates, like he was Batman and Robin. Let's see what I drew.




Looks like I drew a blender instead of a top.

You can see that I drew that part of the background and then was too lazy to draw it again and again. It's a good thing because it would have obscured Top Man, but I still wish I could have copied and pasted it.

Nice face.

See the bottom where I wrote his power, the top spin, and than I drew two arrows circling. Why did I feel the need to draw an arrow poining to those two circles?

What's old is new again.

I went to a Gamestop or whatever and I played the PS3 version of Street Fighter IV. I picked Cammy.



I just want to say that I feel like nothing in the series has changed since Super Street Fighter 2. Or maybe it's Street Fighter Alpha 3. I used the same style I used 10-15 years ago and it worked. I only lost to the third guy because he was new and I wasn't used to his constantly flipping around. Other than that, still same game with nice polygon graphics.

And you know what? This game will probably be far more popular than the much different Street Fighter 3. I bet this game doesn't have downloadable content, either, so you'd have to buy another game to get a couple more characters.

By the way, I didn't get that picture from a deviant art thing. That's actually the first thing that you see when you pick her. Capcom, can't you be a little more subtle?

Jack Thompson

Since I love video games, I think it's about time I share my feelings about one of the more controversial men in the last few years.



Who Flippin' Cares?


I'm so sick of reading lame top ten articles about how much he sucks. Are video game websites so desperate for revenue that they have to bring him up every once in a while to drive their mostly teenage readers into a frenzy?

This Week In Entertainment (3/9/09)

What's black and white and red all over? Madworld, my Pick of the Week. Here's a bloody game for people who whine about Wii games being lousy. I hope the game isn't as headache inducing as the video of it that I watched on the Nintendo channel.

Also out this week is the 12th season of South Park. I haven't followed the show recently so I've only seen two episodes from last year. All I can remember is the kids were getting high off sniffing cats or something.

Lucas decided to follow up the Star Wars series with Howard the Duck. Every time I see a still from that movie I know that it just can't suck. "Oh look, a bad Donald Duck costume." And I don't make millions.

I bet the back of the box for Get Smart: Season 2 says "Get Smarter!"

Back to the Wii. We have two GameCube "Wiimakes." Get it!? One is Mario Power Tennis and the other is the first Pikmin. They both have revamped Wii controls. They also will probably be blamed if Madworld underperforms. Nintendo, I loved the GC but most didn't so I'm wondering if this is a good idea.

Lastly we have a Wii version of Trivial Pursuit. You know, the board game with the insane questions that you'd never get? Eventually you abandon the board and start reading the questions to each other in the hopes that someone gets a question right. That game.

Ok, I lied.

I don't make a dime off this blog. I don't want to make money because it would just draw attention to me. And criticism. I can't take criticism! I want to make a blog for me, not you whiny jerks!

I'm also lazy. Very very lazy.

The End

Well, now that February is done, it's time to take my money and go. It's been fun writing this blog. See you somewhere out there!

This Week In Entertainment (3/3/09)

My pick of the week is some nerd thing. I hope it sucks like I hoped Transformers would suck so I could laugh at the geeks.

Coming out this week is a DVD of the comic that this movie is based on. Is there really a naked blue thing?

Out on the Wii we have the latest baseball game. Just in time for the Nats new season! I hope Bowden leads the team to a better season! Oh, wait...

Gee willikers. Another Sonic game. Huh. Gee willikers.

Speaking of gee wilikers, it's another collection of mini-games for the Wii. Why couldn't they make a game that makes you feel like you're wondering around a real theme park? I'd pay a TON for one about King's Dominion.

Out on DVD this week is Beverly Hills Chihuahua. Let's just assumed I made either a "rolling in his grave" or a "downfall of civilization" joke and move on.

This set takes old Justice League episodes that retold the story of suddenly flying Wonder Woman. How come nobody can make a female superhero movie work? This one runs around in her panties, so you'd think they would at least try.

Finally, we end with Ace Ventura Jr. No, really. I never heard of it either, and I once put up with an episode of the tv show.
