- How hard can it be to come up with an idea for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles stories? Harder than one might imagine, apparently.
That’s what the folks at Mirage, 4Kids, and Playmates are finding out, as according to the 5th turtle’s blog, the entities are having a difficult time reaching an agreement as concept after concept is shot down, from the Yu-Gi-Oh-inspired Superworld to the more recently axed Overload, which essentially sounds like the TMNT equivalent of Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time.
Seems Playmates had an interesting idea, invoking the old cartoon and Archie comics… but why would Laird shoot that down? My guess is that it probably wouldn’t reel in the kiddies today like they’d hope.
- With the Earth destroyed, what happens next to the Super Freakin’ Parody Rangers?
They go into SPACE!
Ah, funny stuff.
- The quality isn’t the best, but it’s all we’ve got. Behold the uncut version of Quagmire’s… “escapade” with Marge Simpson from this past Sunday’s Family Guy, all of which apparently didn’t air in at least some of the US.
Canada, on the other hand…

- From RvB to Halo 3, the boys at Rooster Teeth have gotten to live the dream as they provide voices for the final installment of Bungie’s baby.
- Huh, those Mario-themed shoes we reported not too long ago? Only 400 made. At least the price isn’t too extravagant…
- True or not, some of these sales stats from Wikipedia’s locked page are interesting… if not wince-inducing.
- Halo DS… was real?
- Kotaku talks with Tomonoby Itagaki of Tecmo’s Team Ninja about the usual round of stuff.
