I can just hear the purists now. "No specific reference in the game. Over-interpreting the nuances of a friendship. Doesn't add anything to the enjoyment of the game?"

Hey, this is nothing new for me. I'm the guy that has on many occasions overly implied something more than just a sisterly relationship between Becky and Toni. Come on, you actually expected more from me concerning Grolla and Sichte?

Yeah? Well, wait 'til Friday.

Transformers: The Real Season 4.


While wandering aimlessly with my head on a swivel through the video section of the local Best Buy, the cover of a Transformers DVD caught my attention. It did because it was very different from the ones I had have been seeing on the shelves for the past couple of years. Deciding to take a closer look, it turns out it was Headmasters.

Believe it or not, even in this day of the information super highway, many do not know about Transformers: Headmasters, Powermasters, and Victory. Most people think the original series ended with three awful episodes culminating in Galvatron rocketing Cybertron towards Earth in order to destroy both. He fails, the Decepticons are sent into deep space, and Cybertron enters a new golden age.

As did I. Until my first Asian vacation. I got to watch most of all three series. Now concentrating on Headmasters, I can sum it up with one word:

AWFUL!

Voice acting: AWFUL! Writing: AWFUL! Animation: AWFUL! Let's not get started on Daniel. Thought he was annoying in Season 3? While watching the real Season 4 I was wishing that Fortress Maximus would just take his thumb and push down on Daniel really hard.

So I bought a copy. Now where in the queue should I put it? Just got done with Batman: The Brave and the Bold Season 1, but I'm currently watching Those Who Hunt Elves. Also I'm taking in lots of House and The Closer. When's the next volume of Family Guy going to be out?

What's that on the cover? “First part of the rare Japanese TV Trilogy...” They're bringing over the real Seasons 5 and 6? That sure put to waste all that effort to get a hold of Super God Masterforce from England.

The Huh files.

Once in a while you will see something that makes you stop, turn and look again, scratch your head and go "Huh?"


 When choosing a Twitter handle, you might want to double check and make sure that it isn't a Donnie Baker song.


I was always bothered by seeing Christmas decorations the day after Thanksgiving, then the day after Halloween. Kids haven't even gone back to school yet. Stan Freberg needs to rewrite his song Green Christmas.


Jeff Hardy has always had a rather unique way of dressing himself, but could we at least get the promotion correct?


NOT AN ENDORSEMENT! GOD NO!
Something like this had to have taken maybe a week's worth of effort to put together. Five minutes worth of fact checking would have prevented me from making fun of the fact they used brass coins.


Very accurate description of his driving style. Especially when next to Slowski Jr.




Why the Huh Files? Because WTF is so overused.

The memories. Of when I took the time to align the text and edited in mouth movement.

Final Thoughts: Tomohane.

I guess I'm not done with Inukami. At first I lived in dreadful fear of Tomohane. Why? One word. Chibi-usa. I was so afraid that the manga and anime would be taken over by her. However Tomohane was sparingly used, and when she did show up, it built the story and made it much better. It turns out Tomohane was handled quite respectfully. There were several occasions in which she could have been the victim of serial perversion but the writers instead took the high road. Even in the movie when she broke character and tried to take her shirt off like everybody else was doing, Nadeshiko made sure that didn't happen. Tomohane was really the breakout star. She I think that could do well in her own series. Provided that the writing is as good as Inukami's was and doesn't turn into a minutes long transformation sequence with recycled minutes long attacks stock shots with only a minute or so of actual story that will be forgotten by the next episode.
