1. Sure, I’m a fan of Yu-Gi-Oh, I admit it, and I feel no shame in it. I rather enjoy the manga, the cards feature nice art, and I’m a fan of a lot of the designs, including the hot chicks and wicked dragons, among others.

   That said… well, it now comes to my attention (through atreyu452) that the pool of dialogue throughout the series is a little shallow.

   Seriously, no diving allowed here, kids, you’ll hurt yourself.

   I wonder if the Japanese version had the same problem…

   Also: Kaiba addresses the YouTube audience, and The Card Game Channel, for all your dueling needs.

   “It was just like the ending to Pirates of the Caribbean 2, except this was satisfying!”

2. Simpsons go manga!

   This is too good for words. SpaceCoyote does some neat work, and you can see a lot more of it here.

3. Finally, part 5 of Mishaps of a Podoboo.

   Will Podobella discover the right course of action to take? Will the object of her desire reciprocate? Click, and find out!

4. The Power Morphicon is going on this weekend, and here are some pics from the event thus far.

   Sigh, I long for the opportunity to be able to go to more than one convention per year…

5. Iron Man, caught on video.

   Man, that costume looks awesome.

6. Once upon a time, SEGA was perhaps one of the best-known, most prominent entities in the entire video game industry. But what got them there? Was it superior hardware? Fast hedgehogs? Good games? Add-ons on top of add-ons (literally)?

   Maybe a bit of this and that. But we all know the #1 contributor to SEGA’s success:

   Hype.

   And with that, Racketboy looks back to the 16-bit era as he examines the SEGA hype machine and the SEGA CD.

7. So, with Resident Evil 4 hitting the Wii now, what better time for Game Daily to go back and look at the top 10 scariest Resident Evil moments, as well as the ladies of said series.

   Jill and Claire will always be my faves. Not necessarily in that order. Not necessarily out of that order, either.

   …3/5 my ass, she’s at least a 4.

   And yet, they give a 5/5 to Milla Jovovitch while displaying a picture of her that makes her look like someone’s crazy aunt, come to devour someone’s organs and sell the rest on the black market.

8. A closer look at Contra IV from the latest Nintendo Power.

   Someone hold me.

   Sigh, damned Canada Post. Where’s my issue already?

9. On a related note, in that same online preview, they show off an article talking about Samus turning 20, and Go Nintendo reveals that the mag will look at Metroid Prime 3: Corruption in the next issue.
10. And on top of all that, we find out that Itagaki loves Pikmin. But really, who doesn’t?
11. Someone has finally pieced all the DK Jet videos together. Looks like a neat game, hope there will be a demo.

    Plus, the Japanese website has updated with new videos, and looks at the characters.

12. If it’s the sort of thing that would interest you, Chris Kohler has spoiler-filled impressions of The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass for you.
13. 1up takes a look at “Platform Agnostics,” aka “the most whored out games in history,” games that have appeared anywhere and everywhere over the years.
