Points of Interest – 5/23/07
- NOA Dano tells his tale of venturing out into the cold, harsh world of video game retail in order to find a slightly more obscure title.
- Frash was kind enough to pass me this, a sort of online adaption of a 20-year old TransFormers storybook titled “The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson.”
That’s right, Mr. Rhyme himself. But, it’s not all bad…
“By the end of the first page, the body count is at least two. Hard core. You don’t get kiddie books like this any more. Or maybe you do. I haven’t actually done any research.”
I have some of these books myself, tucked away somewhere. Not this one, but some others. Always kind of dug the art, except the awkwardly-added outlines of the Autobot and Decepticon symbols.
And check out the bottom scan on page 1… Grimlock, with a mouth?
- Some things were just never meant to be.
Batgirl and Catwoman in anime style: are they such an example?
- Racketboy hits us with three pieces: The Cheapest NES Games Worth Your Time, a mini-Genesis for $10, and the question, “Did Gaming Charm Disappear With The Cartridge?”
On that last one? I totally agree.
- GameTrailers has new Mario Party 8 videos, plus a French and UK Mario Strikers Charged commercials, the making of Sony’s PS3 “This Is Living” commercials, Mega Man in ScrewAttack.com’s Video Game Vault.
…wait, the screen says “megabit,” he says “megabyte.” So, how much illegally downloaded music are we really talking here?
And sadly, I have to call it a night, I’ve already overstayed what time I’ve got. Be back tomorrow with another healthy dose of dis’n'dat.
