Points of Interest – 6/1/07
- Continuing with videos to kick off Points of Interest, I just wanted to introduce an old favorite cartoon of mine.
The Untalkative Bunny is a cartoon which debuted on YTV and MTV’s Cartoon Sushi and ran on the Canadian network Teletoon for a few years, starring a simple yellow bunny who lives in the city. He encounters a variety of situations, and deals with them as best as he can– all without saying a word.
Personally, I think the show never quite got its proper due. But hopefully it’ll be back someday.
In the meantime, enjoy the Pilot Episode, wherein he finds himself face-to-phone with a telemarketer promoting the local newspaper.
The series is on DVD in Australia, and a fat lot of good that does us here. Hopefully someone will see the light and give us more here in North America.
- The lovely, talented, witty, and charming Nadia Oxford takes a look at the fandom of Mega Man, while Toastyfrog looks into his future in an interview with creator Keiji Inafune.
A Lost Planet/MegaMan Legends hybrid? That’d be cool… someone give him the money!
Plus, Retronauts looks back at Mega Man once again, continuing their podcast and feature-based celebration of the Blue Bomber’s 20th anniversary.
- MattG at Press The Buttons has some neat ideas for new items to be added to Super Smash Bros. Brawl from deep within the annals (that’s TWO n’s) of Nintendo history.
Myself, I say replace the Ray Gun with the Zapper. Same basic item, but with a look that totally says “Nintendo.”
Also: Mega Mushrooms. Or Mega Stars. I’m not choosey.
- Racketboy’s Retro Gaming has a new feature up, this time looking at classic game compilations for the GameCube. My kind of article.
Of course, I’m a lot less forgiving on Mega Man Anniversary Collection‘s issues, but it’s good to see that they aren’t ignored here as so many reviews did at the time of the title’s launch. For which those reviewers ought to be ashamed.
- Looks like the Wii can do more than just waggle.
What else? Find out from CNN Money.
- Hey, I remember Karnov!
That was one of the games my parents used to play, as it was too hard for me at the time. Guess I’m not the only one who remembers.
- Jesus in a potato chip, Abe Lincoln as a squirrel, and now, Goombas in lattes.
Hmm, “Goomba Latte.” Sounds like something you’d find in one of the Mario RPGs…
I like how this one has his chest all puffed out.
- Admit it. You want a Zoidberg Mii. There’s no shame in it, we all do.
And now, we can!
- Shadow puppets are cool. And Mario’s mushrooms are cool.
Ergo, Mario mushroom shadow puppets are really cool.
- My wife and I have seen Donkey Kone around, but have yet to have the chance to sample the wares.
And we’ve never had a camera handy to capture its magnificence, but at least there’s proof now that it exists.
