There is a show called MAD and it makes fun of everything that is going on in the world. Guess what I just saw? Tell me what you think. This vid made my snow day. ^-^
Is it sad that this video is so true? Anime Rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally! Here is the new trailer with gameplay footage and I must admit that this looks more epic and better than Final Fantasy XIII. What do you think of the new trailer? I personally can't wait for this game to come out already. I'm in love with the "Somnus" theme composed by Yoko Shimomura.

Here is our review of the 6 part episode OVA of "I's Pure." A shy guy tries to confess his love to the girl of dreams. It sounds like your regular formula of romantic anime but is it worth checking out. Check out the review below.
The Fallout fan film has finally been finished, and I have to say that it's pretty damn awesome. It follows a Vault-Dweller named Twig and his companions Ben, a radiation-ravaged ghoul, and Scarlett, a former slave girl, as they search the Mojave Wastes for the series' iconic beverage, Nuka Cola.
It's a really well done film overall. The costumes, makeup, special effects, and dialogue are all fantastic.
You might even recognize a few people in the credits including Brian Clevinger of 8-Bit Theater and Atomic Robo fame as the script writer.
Anyway, check it out in the video below and tell us what you think!
Honestly, this is kind of something I wouldn't mind turning into some kind of web-series. I'd kind of like to follow the adventures of Twig and his crew.
I've been playing Xenoblade for the Wii a lot lately. I must say that this game so far is one of the better JRPG's out there. Unfortunately it's still TBA to be released outside of Japan. However I couldn't wait anymore and decided to try the game out myself. Here is my impressions on the game so far.
Story - The story starts off years before the main story. Three guys are in a war and are facing a load of enemies. One of the guys betrays the other two and then we are brought to present day. This is where we meet the main character Shulka who is able to use the Excalibur sword, which is the same sword one of the three guys had before him. He is on mission to find the people that destroy his village. That's all I can make out for now. The story does seem intriguing but once again I don't know Japanese.
Gameplay - The gameplay is an action RPG. The battle system is similar to Final Fantasy XII, but BETTER! Running into enemies does not start a battle. Players will have attack their enemies first, using the Z button. Once the battle starts the inventory of various attacks are at your disposal. Don't worry once you use all your special attacks it will recharge. While it recharges your character will attack automatically with normal attacks. The battle system works and it's very fun to play. I haven't gotten very far, I'am currently grinding for the first dungeon. However I do want to say the controls are smooth and the camera is great. You use the C button and the D-pad to fix where you will like the camera. You can have it high, close or just normal. The side quest is cool as well. It actually effect how people in the town view you. If you help they will like you, if not well your won't be welcome much.
Gameplay Video
Graphics - So far the graphics are beautiful on the Wii. The towns and open environments are very detail. The opening scene with the war was great to watch. I love the use of colors and how this game looks at night.
Music - The music is composed by Yoko Shimomura who does it again. I'am going to search for this OST. The only thing about the music in terms of battle, it makes me want to play Kingdom Hearts it's that similar in style.
Final Word - So far Xenoblade is on the best JRPG's that came out in 2010. Unfortunately there is no sign that it will be hitting the USA or anywhere else. We can only hope it does, this game needs to be played by all.

For those who don't know. The Thundercats are getting reboot and the first picture of the upcoming show has been released. This is way different from the original from the looks of it. I actually love the new looks. But I guess the statements of no Snarf are true. Either way I will be tuning in when it comes on.
We take a retro look back at Tiny Toon Adventures Buster's Hidden Treasure. This is a platformer made by Konami in 1993. For some reason the running animation reminds us of Sonic. Anyway here is a blast from the past. Check out the video.
I feel like I'm at an A.A. meeting, which is really more like a Geek's anonymous meeting, and I get to introduce myself. So HI! My name is Imani K Brown, IKB or in.fa.mousIKB if you're familiar, and I am an artist. However, here on Otakus & Geeks, I'm one of the gang's latest contributors in the wonderful world of Cosplay & Fashion.
I won't bore you with any further details about me, but if you'd like to know anything beyond this simple introduction, want to request that I include or post something, want items for review of geeky fashion … or just simply want to say HELLO … please be encouraged to do so. I LOVE meeting new people! >^.^<
Now, I got served my "writing" papers for the blog during my great Lego craze! I'm collecting all Lego games for DS, building Lego installation goodness for upcoming art shows, & taking classes at my local Lego store. So it's only right that my first post be about Lego goodness.
A fellow artist, Amari Mars, came to visit me and was rockin' her splendiferous Lego brooch. She's gonna share her goodies on it as it was a DIY brooch ALL her own.
Inspiration :: 'I pulled inspiration for the brooch from several places. Initially I first saw the Lego brooch on a Tokyo fashion(cosplay) website. I have ALWAYS admired the style of those in the East(Asia) and how they can be so creative and free with their expression in fashion. So as with a lot of things I gave it a shot to see if I could create my own. An old button, super glue and a few Legos and it was on!'
Why Legos ::
Well Lego's have always been a source to express a vast amount of creativity when i was a child. Even as an adult I get a thrill from using Lego's to create. I've been thinking of creating a Lego charm to wear on a chain or even a Lego bow tie. I've already purchased the materials for the bow tie just have to make it happen. Looking to do that for the spring/summer. Maybe even a brooch using lincoln logs. Ive always got ideas.'
Hey, remember that trailer for that Half-Life short film that was posted a while back? Well it's finished. Despite operating under a budget of only $1200 and having practically zero actual dialogue, it's pretty impressive. The use of the game's own sound effects was also really a nice touch. Though I will say that the lack of the Headcrab Zombies is a bit disappointing, but I suppose some artistic liberties had to have been taken.
Anyway, check it out in the video below and tell us what you think!
