Aya Ueto: Japanese Music

Aya Ueto (pictured) plays the best of the assassins and looks right at home kicking everyones’s arse (or rather, slicing them up with her sword!), something which belies her petite and dainty nature. After discovering her in this film and its sequel, I discovered that she is also a J-Pop singer. Since then I have been trying to find some of her music, but to no avail. After searching BeeMP3 for one of her songs, the only thing I could find is the song titled ‘Aya’, below.

Charlie Sheen Winning Recipes

Ever think he is just trolling us all. Perhaps he did have an issue with CBS and yes we know he is a lot like his character on his show, but did he lose his mind or is he just making himself more famous than he already was?

Bomb Jack

One of the best features of Bomb Jack is its scoring system. As soon as you grab your first bomb on any given stage, another bomb will start fizzing. A fizzing bomb is called a Fire Bomb and collecting one will then cause another to start fizzing, and so on. Collecting a fire bomb gives you double the points of a normal bomb and if you collect more than twenty of them in one round you’ll receive a large bonus at the end of it, increasing to fifty thousand points if you manage to collect all 23 of them.

All the Food is Poison

I swear when I first saw this I thought it was a real PSA from the 80’s or something. This comes from Adult Swim’s Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job and we consider it one of the best on the internet.

My Top 5 Candy Bars

Proclaimed in a series of adverts to “have a hazlenut in every bite”, the Topic’s sold these days must surely adhere to this slogan, for over the years, I swear Topic’s have been getting smaller and smaller (except in price, of course). Now barely three RKS-size bites in size, they remain ultra-lush, but their profile has fallen far since the days of national TV adverts and I fear they will disappear altogether in the not-too-distant future, so eat them while you can!

Tales of a Driver: The Pompous Bitch

I was to busy for this shit, I told her we are very busy and if you want I will give you double veggies on your burger but that’s it. She then asked for the manager, great call because the manager and I were friends and love to play jokes.

Three Geek Related Shows on the bubble

If these three shows go down I will consider it a loss for tv geekdom. Even if you are not a fan of any of these shows they still offer something a bit different and if they continue to fall, the thought won’t be to improve on these types of shows, but stop creating them outright.

Star Wars Battlefront II

SWBFII is such an improvement over its predecessor it totally surprised me and reminded me how fond of Star Wars games (TIE Fighter is what I am actually referring to) I once used to be. There are lots of excellent maps, vastly improved game mechanics, four different factions, many weapons and classes to choose from, playable characters (Darth Vader and co.) that can be used in multiplayer battles, a decent single player campaign, driveable vehicles and even a small but interesting strategic mode called Galactic Conquest (unfortunately only for the single player mode). By far though, the most interesting new feature is the inclusion of space battles. X-Wings, B-Wings, Y-Wings, TIE Fighters and the rest are all there in a highly enjoyable space flight sim in the style of X-Wing versus TIE Fighter.

The 8-bit Book 1981 to 199X

As is the case with the rest of the books of the series, each page of The 8-bit Book covers one game and presents it complete with all the relevant info you might care for, a description of the game and an eclectic selection of pictures covering everything from screenshots, to game boxes, to cartridges and loading screens. As for the accompanying text itself, it’s very well written and higly informative, not only describing the game itself, but also (among other things) providing behind the scenes information, mentionig reviews of the era, sequels and even remakes.

Licky Licky Music Video

In our music video series, we hope to showcase videos that can slowly melt your brain away either in a good way or a bad way, as long as there is some brain melting going on. This video is called Licky Licky by the group Crispy. Strangely enough, I really thought it should be called Exotic Fruit, but what do I know.

Comic Book Collection: Part 1

I spend a lot of money during my teenage years. This was when a bunch of new comic books and comic book companies came out and I loved collecting number one issues and special editions. I also always got a plastic bag and a cardboard insert for them.
