The American produced Street Fighter: the Series tends to get quite a bit of flack from fans, some going so far as to call it “the worst video game cartoon ever madeâ€. Hey, it wasn’t perfect, but in no universe was it ever as bad as the mid-90’s Mega Man cartoon. But that’s another story.
Street Fighter: the Series was a loose continuation of the live action Street Fighter film starring Jean Claude Van Damme. That sentence alone is enough to frighten most people away from ever watching the ...
“The New Fantastic Fourâ€, not to be confused with the 80’s cartoon of the same name, or the numerous alternate rosters of Marvel’s First Family. This article specifically covers a three issue-long, “blink and you’ll miss it†roster shake-up provided by Walter Simonson and Arthur Adams. The arc was basically a comedy bit and the New Fantastic Four were never intended to be around for more than a split second. While the whole thing was rather pointless, I can’t say it wasn’t without some entertainment value.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Classic) Vol. 1 – Review
Dec 15 2006
Posted by Spengs as DVD Reviews
The first season of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series from Murakami-Wolf-Swanson is considered by many a fan to be the best season of the entire series. Incidentally, it also happens to be the shortest. It was initially a five-part miniseries, which TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird worked on rather closely. While I can’t say that the first season is a perfect interpretation of the dark and gritty Mirage comic books, it certainly does have a much harder edge to it.
The first episode ...
Marvel Comics Presents: Wolverine Vol. 4 – Review
Dec 14 2006
Posted by Spengs as Trade Paperback Reviews
I mostly picked up this trade paperback out of my undying love for Ghost Rider. The presence of Wolverine was just an added bonus, really. This trade collects the Wolverine segments of Marvel Comics Presents #62-71. Marvel Comics Presents originally contained four stories per issue, so as a result, each Wolverine segment is rather short (a quarter the length of a regular comic, appropriately). So you’re not really getting ten issues out of the deal, more like four or five at best.
This trade collects two ...

Daryl of Dunder Mifflin
This news is a little sad for me because I am a huge fan of the TV sitcom “The Office”. I’ve been following this show for the past two years and have really admired all the characters. One of my personal favorites was Daryl, the Dunder Mifflin warehouseman whom Michael (the boss) always always try [...]-

A carbon footprint is a “measure of the impact human activities have on the environment in terms of the amount of greenhouse gases produced, measured in units of carbon dioxide“.

Pack it well!
I’ve had my fair share of local and international travels. Everytime I “hit the road” I am always brought to “hit the wall” when the time comes to pack. I just couldn’t fit what I need to bring in a small suitcase. Really! My solution? Have the wife do the packing for me. I tell [...] Family Life
Avoiding Debt Triggers
While summer can be the fun-filled time of the year IT CAN also be a huge debt trap. Every year, Americans splurge on summer expenses like trips, hotels, summer clothing, gears, and gadgets. Oh and all those have-nots that people just “need” to make summer extra perfect.
Every mall will hand out “special deals” to hook [...]From the Editor
