Licensed Game Remasters I’d Like to See
Recently, we were surprised with the announcement that we are getting a re-release of the classic Disney video games, Aladdin and Lion King. It makes sense with the recent live action re-release though. I sat there and started to ponder a bit as to what games based on licensed properties should also get a remaster (e.g. comics, cartoons, TV shows). Here is a list I created with the help from the #PositivelyGeek community on Twitter. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Konami Collection Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles games by Konami are some of the most fondly remembered collection of video games ever created. The first game I truly sat down, played,…

Actual Hulk Hogan Merchandise That Was Made
Say what you will about Hulk Hogan these days with some of the statements that have come to light (I’m no fan of them), but there is no denying the fact that at one time he was insanely popular. WWE (then WWF) knew it and created just about as much merchandise as humanly possible. So, let us take a look at actual merchandise that they expected people to buy brandishing the Hogan brand. The Hulk Hogan Light Switch You want the lights on, brother? Well, then no better than to grasp Hulk Hogan’s chiseled physique to turn it on (chiseled from steroids, that is). I also can’t help but wondering…

5 Awful Metal Album Covers
As some of you know, I am a huge metal head. I love the diversity of the genre whether Tarja is providing opera vocals for a symphony orchestra backed metal in Nightwish or Alissa White Gluz is providing some gutteral vocals on Arch Enemy. However, over the years, there has been a fair share of bad creative decisions in metal. In this case, we are going to look at some of the album covers. Back in the day, the album cover sold the record in some cases rather than just the name alone. So here are 5 truly awful metal album covers. 1. Split Beaver – When Hell Won’t Have…

The Facebook Marketplace is Wild
I am going to say, the Facebook Marketplace is the wasteland of classified listings. Take everything you know about the YouTube comment section, and apply the basic principals to a Classified Listings page. Half Empty Bottle of Lotion Here you go, a partially used bottle of lotion. Only one previous owner has masturbated with it, so it is like new. Reptile Terrarium Moss Boy the person who thought this was a shit ton of ganja for $2 is going to be TERRIBLY disappointed. Instead, it is half a bag of lizard tank terrarium moss. The seller makes sure to clarify this is the unused portion so there won’t be lizard…

“The Best “Wrestling Merchandise April 2019
T he Wrestling merchandise column is back again! Along with your submissions, I also scour the internet for what is truly odd, bad, or interesting wrestling merchandise. I’ve done action figures, shirts, and everything else. Marty Jannetty Trading Card Now, I know what you are thinking, “Geek…. this card might have appealed to the female demographic of the 80s, but it is an assault on the senses now.” To you I say “SPEAK FOR YOURSELF!” As far as I am concerned, this card appeals to all demographics. It is timeless, just like Marty fucking Jannetty. He is one half of the tag team specialists known as The Rockers. Who even…

The Best Wrestling Fan Signs March 2019
Wrestling fans are perhaps some of the most creative with their signs. Here are a few of my favorites for this month. Bork Lazer’s a Softie So when you tickle Brock Lesnar, does he also let out a pterodactyl shriek? (see video below) Bret Hitman Fart Look at this fool misspelling Bret Hitman Hart’s name. Everyone point and laugh at them STAR WARS COMMENTARY SIGN Yes he was. That is all. VINCE RUSSO’S SLEEPING HABITS What am I really wondering is how did you come to that conclusion and what exactly do you mean by “Sleeping with,” like Vince and the goats nap together like my cat and I do…

How do you solve a problem like a Superman Video Game?
Sometimes it takes video game designers many attempts to properly adapt a concept well. Take one concept that designers seem to be a tad amiss to over the years. I am, of course, talking about the oldest comic book superhero in existence, Superman. Sure, there has been a few decent Superman games over the years such as Taito’s 1980s Arcade classic or the 16 bit hidden gem Death & Return of Superman. They may have been decent games, but did they actually capture what Superman is all about? Of course, there is the most infamous example of both a bad Superman game and a bad game in general, Superman 64.…

Remembering Pilotwings 64 of This Nintendo 64 Thursday (NinThursday64)
The year is 1996 and we are the end of what is a hell of a run for Nintendo with the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. Sega and Sony have had their consoles on the market for about a year now. In comes Nintendo with their next follow up, the Nintendo 64. I was approximately 12 years old at the time, and nobody was more excited for this revolution than me. There were two launch games in North America, Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64. Super Mario 64 is obviously one of the most acclaimed video games of all time. But what about Pilotwings 64? This game was a sequel to…

Wildest Comic Panels Found February 2019
Here is this months’s batch of comic panels. I scour the internet for comic book panels that made me raise an eyebrow or two. A lot with no context provided, and some that are just wild no matter how you slice it. Superman I can best sum up my reaction to this one with this gif The Incredible Hulk Seems like someone should investigate Bruce Banner, but maybe that is just me. Garfield Not enough facepalms in the world for old Jon Arbuckle here, but I’ll try… Vintage Comics Ahhh…before the days of the smartphone, the internet, and instant messaging ruined that for basically everyone. The Punisher Hey, I am…

Tiny Toon Adventures for NES on this wed-NES-day
The year is 1990. After a long day at school, you come home to unwind. Turn your television on to the local syndicated cartoons as what was done at the time. What comes on but this amazing theme song… I like to think my generation had the coolest stuff for kids, but I may be a bit biased. It definitely indeed was simpler times. Now, at the time, it was toward the end of the run of the Nintendo Entertainment System, the console that changed gaming, perhaps forever. Games based on licenses had been very hit and miss. For every quality game like Duck Tales, you had a million games…
