The Daily ‘Shroom – 12/27/07
So, TransFormers: Animated has had its debut on Cartoon Network, and everyone’s talking about it… which is a huge pain, because I don’t get to see it until New Year’s Day. Sigh. I hate crap like this, I guess the people in charge have no idea what a pain it is to essentially be divided from your friends online as a result…
In other news, I’m on a serious Wario kick lately. I wish I had one of the games. Land, Ware, World, I’m not so choosey. At least I’ll get some fix before TOO long, when Super Smash Bros. Brawl comes out.
InFormers: Robots in the News
- Pics: New pics, clearer now, of Japanese Classics Grimlock have surfaced, showing off his G1-ish paintjob.
- Newsbit: Plus, the new Movie-version Robot Heroes Final Battle 5-pack has been revealed, featuring metallic versions of Optimus, Megatron, Blackout, Jazz, and Ratchet.
- Newsbit: Wondering what’s what and what the deal is on all those upcoming Japanese TransFormers releases? Fear not, as you are now covered.
Assorted Mushrooms
- Newsbit: Beware, possible spoilers for Marvel Comics’ Spider-man “One More Day” storyline lie within.
*ahem*
“Dear Marvel,
Get bent.
Sincerely,
PMO”
Seriously, as many have pointed out, this messes up a LOT of things stretching far beyond just Spider-man, Mary Jane, and Aunt May.
- Newsbit: Sounds like Hilton is alright… Barron Hilton, that is, Paris’ grandfather.
“That money will be placed in a charitable trust that will eventually benefit the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation, raising its total value to about $4.5 billion, the foundation said in a statement.
The foundation supports projects that provide clean water in Africa, education for blind children, and housing for the mentally ill. Its aims, based on Conrad Hilton’s will, are “to relieve the suffering, the distressed and the destitute.”
Makes sense to me. Paris has a career of sorts now, she can earn her own fortune.
Video Power
- Newsbit: Capcom*Unity reports that the Bionic Commando site now has a blog to keep us abreast of the latest involving Nathan Spencer.
- Newsbit: Remember the story yesterday, of Microsoft banning users from Xbox Live if they had a modded fan? Well, it gets worse.
- Video: Normally, I accompany Virtual Console updates with videos for the corresponding games from GameTrailers, but yesterday, they simply were not available.
Today, however… well, one is available. Check out Rolling Thunder 2.
- Newsbit: Smash Bros. DOJO!! brings a new update for a new day, and a new way to get trophies: the Coin Launcher! A sort of game within a game.
- Newsbit: Looking to stock up on some games, now that Christmas has come and gone? Then check out these deals.
- Newsbit: Still trying to find a Wii? Maybe you should plan a trip to China. Seems they’ve got plenty of them– of ours– over there.
- Newsbit: Apparently, some people have had issues with the Burnout Paradise demo. And to that, Criterion has a retort.
