A tiring weekend, a midnight update, and for some reason “Monster Mash” won’t stop playing in my head. Maybe it’s just too much Castlevania at work…

1. “Did you ever see a sandwich, that could take a bite out of you?”

   Well, no sandwiches here, only just desserts as a New York teen bites back at the RIAA, “counter suing them for defamation, violating anti-trust laws, conspiring to defraud the courts and making extortionate threats.”

   God bless America.

2. The Allspark has stocked up on TransFormers news over the weekend, mostly regarding… you guessed it, the movie.

   New product info includes a lovely Ironhide test shot on eBay, plus his package and bio; and an Unleashed Bumblebee statue.

   Plus, movie renders of Bonecrusher, Starscream, and Ironhide are available, and Remy has some new galleries with Classics Mirage, Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime, and wave 2 of Classics Legends.

   On a related note, BWTF.com has a press release with four very large stills from Paramount.

3. Today marks the release of three new Virtual Console titles: Vigilante for the TurboGrafx-16, Gain Ground for the SEGA Genesis, and the legendary Super NES launch title Super Mario World.

   I’ll be frank. I didn’t know nor really care much about what Vigilante was, until I read Chris Kohler’s blurb about it. Now it’s moved up to “curiousity.”

4. If you bought Bubble Bobble Revolution for the Nintendo DS and were disappointed by the game-breaking glitch, then good news has finally arrived.
5. Has the time finally come for Jack Thompson to face the music?
6. Who doesn’t love a good blog? Well, evidently, Capcom digs ‘em, as they’ve begun their own, the “Capcom-Unity.”
7. Go Nintendo has what looks like a press release for the upcoming TMNT game, based on the movie.

And my internet went out for a bit there, so we might be condensing things a little from here on out.

8. If you frequent Southwest Airlines, you could have something good coming to you.
9. Sigh, I could be a great editor.

   That is, if I were qualified. Sigh…

   Anyway, if you’ve got “credentials” *moves his fingers in the air like quotes* then maybe you’d be interested in working for Big N there.

10. Looks like FiringSquad is hiring, too. Pity PC stuff’s not really my thing…
11. NOT. FUNNY.
12. Sounds like Ziff-Davis isn’t so desperate to part with their games, after all.
13. Modesty and honesty from Sony? Something is amiss…
14. …jerks.
15. A story about the number 23 can win a Wii.
