You, too, can play Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne

A devoted fan, with the help of others (and you if you want), is developing Community's video game "Journey to the Center of Hawkthorne", developed by Pierce's father.  You can track the developments and play each release of the game here.  So help a brother out by playing the game and letting him know of any bugs or suggestions.  This game is going to be absolutely stellar.  You can choose from a wide range of characters.  There are continuous submissions for character costumes.  Look forward to Darkest Timeline Jeff Winger, Starburns, and Dean Pelton.  Currently some playable characters are Brittasaurus Rex, Abed's Batman, Squirrel Britta, and Troy's Sexy Vampire.

Every NES game attempts to get its due

Mario Bros.

Every day, artist Campbell Whyte sought to paint a scene based off every NES made, which would've been 799 games (They couldn't have 800?!), but he was sidetracked with another project: his own graphic novel.  So we're left with 375.  Find a few more favorites below, and find them all collected into five large images at Whyte's official website.  One even has Duck Hunt!  That brings back good memories!

Mortal Kombat: Legacy

So I've told you about Mortal Kombat: Legacy before.  I watched the first episode when it debuted, and it was amazing.  And I totally missed out on the rest of the episodes, so I had to catch up.  Let me tell you: they are gloriously realistic.  There's one episode left, episode 9, and I already want another season.  You can find all episodes here on youtube.  Linked is the first episode for you to watch.

First of all: I can't stop listening to all of the Glee tunes from the show. I absolutely HATE some of the original versions, like the whiny Rhianna's "Take a Bow," but when the ladies of Glee Club performed it, I was thoroughly impressed. I sometimes listen to it three times in a row, but at least three times a day. "Push It" makes me laugh a little, but I still don't care for the song too much. I think it's better when watching it, since it's so awkward. And I still love Matthew Morrison's version of "Gold Digger," and I appreciate the incorporation of the songs into the storyline. Very nice! And tonight's episode.....AMAZING! I absolutely love it when Matt Morrison gets to sing, and I love when students get to have some of the spotlight, like Mercedes and Kurt. Mercedes' song was fun...and sexy.

As for comics...Moonstar is back full force! Prior to last week she was powerless, but now she has the power to kill gods as a valkyrie again (but more powerful)! The art in Dark Avengers/Uncanny X-Men: Exodus portrayed her so brilliantly. Unfortunately the guest artist Mike Deodado can't tell a story with his art but like some others, he can make a mean singular panel.

Let me tell you....Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 (MUA2) is AWESOME! There's so much in it, and Storm is even more badass than ever, as are Deadpool and Invisible Woman! I can't wait for Jean Grey! I didn't want to use Storm, but I didn't care for the other characters' moves. I'm more of a range attacker. Gameplay is much the same, but I don't care. It's a better game than the first, and more challenging.


UPDATE: Jean Grey is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Our final team during Anti-Registration: Captain America, Deadpool, Storm, and Jean. Turns out pretty much every character is good, except for Venom.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2

Seriously, you guys! I'm stoked: this Tuesday is HUGE! MUA2, It's Always Sunny in Phili, The IT Crowd, Sanctuary, and Big Bang Theory all come out in stores. Big money spending. But I can't wait to spend all my free time playing most anticipated game: Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. 24 playable characters: Storm, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Gambit, Iceman, Ms Marvel, Captain America, Daredevil, Thing, Invisible Woman, Human Torch, Deadpool, Hulk, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Luke Cage, Penance, Songbird, Thor, Venom, and best of all JEAN GREY!!!! Even though I'm an X-Men freak, as I'm sure you've figured out, I think there's a little too many X-Men in there, and I'm disappointed that there's not as many lesser known superheroes to vary the lineup from the last MUA. I want Young Avengers and New X-Men and more women. As I've said before, women are getting more prominent and powerful in the Marvel Universe. Why isn't there more than 5 in the game? We're getting essentially the same characters from X-Men Legends 2 and MUA1. Lame. But I'm still gonna play this game like crazy. I might have to rent it for Wii just to play as Psylocke, my second favorite X-Woman. I'm crazy excited for this game, especially with the fusions, where we get to see team-up action instead of see just the bonus points for powers used at the same time. A fastball special from Wolvie...can't wait! Rent it, buy it, whatever! Just play it and love it! EEEEEEEE!
