MUSIC MON! EZREAL AND LINK FIGHT MURLOCS!
Ezreal is one of the most iconic League of Legends characters: his combination of abilities and style make him a rather fun take on the magic rogue archetype and his flexible nature means he has seen a fair bit of play at all levels of skill. That and he has a fantastic generic anime hero voice. So I like that.
Next up is the latest official Starbomb music video and it is a sequel to the BEST Zeld Rap EVER!!
And this seems like a good time to discuss an exciting game rumor: the newest Zelda game teased for the Wii-U has most likely been delayed to be a release title for the next Nintendo console (to be announced at next year's E3) and that has led to many wondering if maybe, just maybe, another Zelda game is due to get an HD remake. Specifically, Twilight Princess. And, while TLoZTP is apparently not regarded as a favorite title in the series, I'm gonna blow some mind and admit that I still haven't beaten Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask or even Wind Waker. But I have played and beaten Twilight Princess three times on Wii. It is my favorite 3D Zelda and, honestly, I could dive into all the reasons but I should probably save the full write-up for later, but here a summary of my feels:
Twilight Princess is the best controlled 3D Zelda game with interesting characters, dark mysteries to solve, and a lot of cool mechanics/puzzles that make it my favorite game in the series to go back and play (besides Link to the Past). And my favorite Zelda character, after Groose, is Midna.

MUSIC MON! DISNEY FANATIC #5 FROZEN WEEK!
This clip, of course, is what sold most of us on the film and it stands as the biggest showpiece of the film. It really is a Disney masterpiece that succeeds by creating a very loose and refreshing fairy tale based on The Snow Queen by Hans Christian Anderson. In the same spirit of Tangled, it updates the fairy tale a lot, but somehow surpasses, in my opinion, all of Disney's more recent films. The central conflict isn't about an evil stepmother or a prince, it's about the relationship between two sisters. The animation is superb, the cast of characters and the performances given by the voice actors/singers are perfect, the music (obviously) is top notch, etc. It is a 5/5 film and, if you get the chance, go see it before it leaves theaters. On that note, let's look at all of the parodies and such...
Seriously, look up your favorite song in G-Major. You'll probably regret it, but do it anyways. For example, check out this horrible piece of magic that is the distorted corpse of the Luigi's Ballad by Stabomb. You're welcome.
Legolambs newest video has absolutely nothing with Disney's Frozen.
It is based on the 2010 horror film of the same name. The film, which I had heard was pretty dumb and frustrating, is about some folks who get stuck on a ski lift. It is a graphic bit of horror that, potentially, could've been a very well done bit of suspense. Instead, it uses gore, bodily fluids, and stupid decisions to turn from a thriller to a groaner. Still, a funny bit of Frozen-related humor in these very cold times (it was snowing earlier today here).
This parody is so obvious! A parody where someone does an impersonation of Batman & Robin's ridiculously funny and stupid ice villain (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) performing a ice-powered Disney Queen's power ballad.
Yet, I think that I've heard much better Schwarzenegger impersonations, even of his performance as Mr. Freeze. Like HERE.
I liked the original Warcraft games and used to spend a lot of time playing Starcraft, but I've never been a huge fan of World of Warcraft. Still, Blizzard's cinematics have always been impressive (for their time) and the Wrath of the Lich King cinematic trailer fits perfectly with Let It Go, so we all win.
Let's end with the nerdiest of Frozen parodies-- the Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover with footage and themes taken from the Star Trek film First Contact (1996). This parody is really a cut above the rest because of the level of work put into writing original lyrics, the pretty sweet vocals, and the level of nerd credentials that comes with referencing the borg heaviest Star Trek film.
In the end, if you haven't seen the film in theaters but are now interested in watching Frozen just... make it so.

MIXED BAG #3 WEB-COMIC SHOUT-OUT!
Awkward Zombie is just another video game comic is like saying Hamlet is just another revenge play. (I love both of those things if anyone is asking). I don't remember the exact moment I put Katie Tiedrich's delightful web-comic in my bookmark folder under "EVERYDAY" (I'm an organizational dork who actually bookmarks every single webpage that he looks at and would even possibly conceive of sharing or revisiting AND the EVERYDAY folder is where I put the fifteen or so websites that I check on at least five times a day).
Since I just finished a rather silly rant about my organization, lets talk about Awkward Zombie. I found this web-comic over the summer and, in one setting, read every single page aloud with my friend Zach (seriously if you've never tried reading a comic aloud you're doing something wrong). During the first hundred comics, it focuses a lot of Super Smash Bros. and diversified into covering everything from World of Warcraft to Pokemon to Pikmin to Mass Effect. The cartoon style of Tiedrich is delightful and every panel is stuffed with awesome. I really can't say much more than if you like video games READ THIS COMIC.
