Underrated videogames

1. Legendary Frog: To be honest, this guy can draw. However, in the content department, he leaves a lot to be desired.

2. District 9: Here's one movie I wouldn't mind seeing and how come the guy who is directing this didn't get to direct TF 2007? (I'm sick of that movie's detractors as it is.) I hope this doesn't disappoint.

3. Marv Wolfman: It sucks that this guy isn't getting the credit he deserves. Not only did he write Crisis on Infinite Earths; he also worked on Transformers, Beast Wars, and Beast Machines. He may not be up to par with Alan Moore, but he's way better than Rob Liefeld.

4. Video submissions: I've already commented on this subject once and it looks like I'll have to do it again. I'm getting sick of people downrating anything that (mainly) consists of imported graphics or video while giving high scores to anything by Clock Crew wannabes, Self-righteous hand animation zealots who are really bad at pacing, etc. What part of Everything, by Everyone do these dipshits fail to comprehend?

5. Drawn Together: This was a show that had potential, but the writers wasted it on imitation Family Guy humor. If you're going to do something offensive, at least make it coherent and funny (example: Dean Packis).

6. Tropic Thunder: Finally, a funny Jack Black movie. While this movie's serious parts were a bit boring; it still manages to be outright hilarious. It may not be as funny as UHF or as deep as Death To Smoochy, but I enjoyed it.

7. Sandy Szwarc (Pronounced "Shworts"): I like what this woman has to say on her site Junkfood Science and would like to see more people hear what she has to say. Examples include:

http://junkfoodscience.blogspot.com/20 09/07/todays-changing-medical-ethics-w here.html
I challenge anyone here to debate her on the various topics she covers such as obesity, healthcare, etc. (I'm willing to bet that no one will be able to rebuke her arguments without the use of smears, strawmen fallacies, etc.)

8. John Stossel: Finally, a journalist with a different point of view, and a logical, rational one at that. As a Libertarian, I support what this guy does and think that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize for that. Here's hoping that there are more journalists like him.

The latest from Sandy Szwarc

I know a lot of you will hate me for posting this, but as I said before, I just didn't enjoy it that much. Even though it has its good points (the animation quality and the voice acting); its flaws prevent it from being that Definitive Transformers Experience that I read about all over the internet.

1. Convoluted and Contrived: When compared to the TV series, this just feels forced; from the Decepticons' ambush on the Autobot shuttle to Hot Rod becoming Rodimus Prime. And what's with Kranix and his homeworld? It's understandable that the writers wanted to show the power of Unicron, but even that derelict civilization in the episode Cosmic Rust had an explanation. Plus, why did they kill Kranix off anyway? That was just a cheap, pointless way of showing off the (not so) awesome might of the Sharkticons. Even the most memorable moments of this film felt contrived (The Death of Optimus Prime, Starscream's Coronation, and the fight between Hot Rod and Galvatron).

2. Most of the new characters weren't properly introduced: With the exceptions of Unicron and his reformatted decepticons, the Quintessons, the Junkions, and Rodimus Prime; most of the new characters lacked a proper introduction. Then again, the TV series had this same problem although it wasn't as bad.

3. More of the same: When you really think about it, TFTM is just like an episode from the TV series only with a longer length. This isn't a bad thing, but I wanted a bit more out of it.

4. The soundtrack: Although I liked The Touch, Unicron's theme, White Lion's intro song, and the theme that played when the Decepticons stormed Autobot City; most of the songs in the soundtrack were not very interesting and quite cheezy.

5. Poor Planning: When compared to the TV series, this wasn't planned out very well and would have been better if they had Bob Budiansky and Simon Furman had supervised the planning process.

6. It led to the cartoon's cancellation: One would think that by killing Optimus and most of the other popular characters off in a somewhat senseless way; the result would be declining toy sales. This, in other words, led to the series' cancellation. To be honest, I thought the US TV series could have lasted longer, or at the very least, have the Headmasters series dubbed and released stateside.

I've explained the reasons why I disliked this movie. However, I don't think it is a piece of shit and, as I mentioned before, it has its good points:
-The Voice acting
-The Animation quality
-Unicron
It may be a disappointment, but it is still worth watching. However, it can't hold a candle to other independent animated films such as Fist of the North Star (1986), Heavy Traffic (a 1973 Ralph Bakshi film), and Ark (a CGI film made in 2004 by the same people behind FF: The Spirits Within, only that it is far superior).

I originally wanted to do a list of reasons why I dislike Transformers: The Movie (as in the '86 version), but I'm going to put it off for now.

Like everyone else here, I (sort of) grew up on this guy's music, and in spite of the insinuations and accusations; he was one of the most talented people around. Hell, Thriller is still considered the best music video around with Separate Ways by Journey (who had their own arcade game I might add) coming in at second. As for his death, it was a by-product of his plastic surgeries. Come to think of it, I haven't heard anything involving him in years.

On the other hand, I just got Madworld (and Punch Out) for the Wii. All I can say is that it is one badass game, even though it is much more linear than No More Heroes.

Cato Institute: Rush Limbaugh is not the problem-I may disagree with Rush on social issues, immigration, and the whole National Security deal; but that doesn't mean that he should be taken off the air.

Junkfood Science: Science says isn't always what science found

My succinct thoughts on the SF collab: The first five or six parts, BiffTheTimid's part, and Stamper's were funny; but a good chunk of them were dull. Biggest disappointments: Egoraptor and JohnnyUtah (I think it's time for you guys to do something different). Next official collab needs to be done in the vein of Queers of War (small and nonlinear).

Here's an idea that I had for the Sketchbook Tour...

Casey Kasem and Frank Welker were in every other '70s and '80s cartoon.

Bonobos, in spite of their peaceful appearances, eat squirrels and monkeys.

Film actor Ed Nelson is from Slidell, Louisiana. Plus, James Bond in Live and Let Die was filmed over there. (Shows how little people know about my homestate.)

Albert Einstein's parents were cousins and Albert himself married his own cousin.

Most of the water we get comes from the food we eat.

The only fail safe method of saving endangered animals is to legalize the purchase and sale of them. (I Credit John Stossel for that.)

Crocodiles cannot lash out their tongues.

The only relative to the Emu is the Cassowary, which is the most dangerous bird to be around.

Most of the voice actors in Beast Wars and ReBoot were in CapCom's TV shows.

Contrary to what the Religious Right thinks, the Bible doesn't consider the unborn to be people.

Most of the letters in the Cyrillic Alphabet are from both the Latin and Greek systems.

Akira Toriyama wanted to quit doing Dragon Ball after DBZ, but the company that he worked for went ahead with DBGT. Plus, the first Toriyama anime to come to the US was based on Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest.

Africa's poverty and backwards status were the result of foreign aid and trade barriers.

The vast majority of illegal immigrants are law-abiding citizens. (Especially when compared to Hugo Chavez and his supporters.)

America's high health care costs are the result from government regulation.

Last datatrack

1. The Simpsons: Even though I liked most of the episodes I have seen, which isn't very many; I am getting tired of the Simpsons. The movie had its moments, but was lackluster and it baffles me that some people would prefer to watch this over Beavis & Butthead Do America. I think it is time for Matt Groening, Dan Castellaneta (Homer, Abe, Krusty, and Barney), Hank Azaria (Moe), Billie Jean (Marge and her sisters), and Harry Shearer (Ned) to do something else.

2. Y.A.A.F.M.: I like how this series tears celebs to pieces using their own words, but last episode could have been done better. Seriously, He had plenty of material for Palin such as her voting for tax increases on oil and gas; alas The Walrus decided to use the tired experience joke. This has so much potential, but has to be put to better use.

3. All Fads Die!: I love these collabs for what they are: fun to watch and target variety. However, with the delays that part six has encountered; I highly doubt it would live up to the hype. As for popular characters, I know quite a few that need to be taken down...

4. New videogames for old systems: I've noticed a trend involving people making new games for older systems. It's amazing that all of those old systems are getting some new stuff after being off the market for years.

5. College: A lot of you will hate me for going after college in general, but not everyone needs to go. Besides, they're just wasting time and money. Here's what killing joke at I-Mockery has to say.

6. NG Assassin: Since I brought up YAAFM and AFD, why not bring this up? With all the celeb trash out and about, I think it's time that Tom and the staff brought this back.

7. Tam Tu Bui: I like the voices he did for FlameZero, but what he did for Life Point 1 could have been done much better. I personally think he's better than General Ivan, Hans Van Harken, or the bulk of the VAs on the VA Club/Alliance combined. However, seeing him, Cristina Vee, or Lucien Dodge getting roles in some shitty hip anime over some older VA who has trouble trying to get work is just a kick in the nuts to those who were in the voice acting business much longer than they have.

8. Pico Day: Here's my choices for top three entrys for Pico Day:
Pico's Portal Party (even though Zombie Pimp's short suffered from a sound sync glitch.)
Tankmen: Incursion (Would have been number one if it weren't for the screwy camera.)
Da Pink Knight
I would have included Pico Epsilon, but that was a bit derivative and the Over 9000 joke was lame.
