WEEKLY ROUND-UP! 11/18-11/24/12!

WEEKLY ROUND-UP PRESENTS

I don't feel hated...but I do feel the futility of training a Rattata to Lvl 100

YOUNGSTER JOEY WEEK!

7. WORD OF THE DAY! 11/20/12. Bottom Dog. 

I think Pokemon's Youngster Joey gets mocked a lot, but I think a lot of us were like Joey as a kid or a new kid like him. Don't you remember that kid that didn't have any friends and always tried to impress you with something that wasn't that impressive? Joey is that kid.

6. WORD OF THE DAY! 11/20/12. Chekhov's Gun.

The effective "Chekhov's Gun" is called "seeding". It involves dropping hints or setting a precedent in an early scene of a narrative to set up an event later on in the piece.

5. WTF WED. PARODY PARODY PARODY!

I've been watching a lot of animated shorts on Youtube lately...

4. WORD OF THE DAY! 10/24/12. Brohoof.

On a similar note to this "word of the day", I gotta admit that while other fandoms are less desperate to accrue more fans for their fandom, that there are equally obnoxious fandoms that I'm a part of, as well as being a brony. P.S. Ponies gonna PWN and Bronies gonna BRON!

3. MUSICAL MON. LO PAN STYLE (GANGNAM STYLE PARODY)!

"Needle Love, in your arm I must shove/
Then maybe baby we can prove that I am flesh and blood/
Six demon bag, Egg Shen you shouldn't have/
I drank your peasant magic portion and it made me gag and take a $h!7." -Lo Pan Style

2. WORD OF THE DAY! 11/23/12. Donut/Doughnut.

Letting you guys know that Zach Martin and I recorded a new podcast and should have it up sometime in like the next week or so. We discussed anime localization, for your pleasure.

1. MIXED BAG. REVIEW. HALO 4

I really am not sure how I feel about the end of Halo, guys. But the experience made an emotional connection with me and any video game that does that deserves my affection. Unless it just makes me angry/frustrated/disappointed. I'm looking at YOU, Warren Specter! You sold me Epic Mickey and your words turned out to be so wrong that I gotta think you were delusional about the quality of the title. I'll just play my 2-D Mickey Mouse games on SNES and Dreamcast, thank you.

MUSICAL MONDAY! GANGNAM STYLE PARODY DOUBLE FEATURE!

MUSICAL MONDAY PRESENTS

LO PAN STYLE (GANGNAM STYLE PARODY)

I've talked about how much I love John Carpenter's The Thing, but my favorite John Carpenter film is the cheesetastic film, Big Trouble in Little China starring Kurt Russell, Kim Catrell, Wang Chi, Victor Wong, and of course, James Hong in his most iconic role as "David" Lo Pan. Hong's performance as the sorcerer relies on his amazingly honed delivery, both through his voice (and he is an awesome voice actor) and his facial expressions, that nail the exuberant evil of the role.

Lo Pan is a great villain; as David Lo Pan, he is an ancient, creepy, insane, perverted, and funny crypt keeper in a wheel chair and as the seven foot tall demigod he delivers with intense expressions. The best part of the Gangnam style parody linked above, btw, is Hong actually makes a cameo!

As for my feelings on Big Trouble in Little China, it should be no surprise that I give it a 5/5.

BONUS: GUNDAM STYLE
