Mike Tyson to return to video games

Acording to GamesIndustry.biz the world's favourite boxer/rapist/cannibal is returning to video games. Unlike his debut 20 odd years ago in Mike Tyson's Punch Out, this game has the gamer playing the role of one of the world's foremost boxers. I'm crossing my fingers for an ear eating mini game or DS like mic compatibility where you can create your own bizzare Tyson sound bites.

The Nightmare Before Fitzmas

In this wonderful parody of the classic children's poem, we see what is happening the day before the grand jury is set to expire.

For those Candians who may not be following things, Patrick Fitzgerald is the special prosecuter appointed to investigate the outing of CIA agent Valerie Plame by columnist Robert Novak. After a two year investigation and interviews with several high Bush administration officials (including Bush and Cheney), conventional wisdom is that Cheney's chief of staff I. "Scooter" Libby and top Bush advisor Karl Rove are prime targets. Tomorrow (Friday, October 28), the grand jury is set to expire and so Fitzgerald must name any he intends to indict. Some on the left have dubbed this day "Fitzmas."

There are plenty of in jokes in the comic. I'll explain them in comments so as not to give anything away.

Lego Acquires the Batman License


"Our experience shows that combining the right property with the construction play pattern is a formula for success, so we are thrilled to be working with Warner Bros. Consumer Products on the Batman property," says Jill Wilfert, Vice President Global Partnership and Alliance Management for LEGO Group. "Not all stories translate to construction, but the Batman setting, characters and focus on gadgets and vehicles allow us to create authentically detailed, functional and fun models that will have strong appeal and play value for children and adult collectors alike.

I love how they acknowledge that, straight off the bat (excuse the pun) that Batman isn't really construction based. That said, this will allow fanboys to recreate their favourite fanfiction masterpieces like Batman versus Bionicle versus Harry Potter in the dinosaur era. You can't put a price tag on that.,

Smallville Becoming Porn


I don't watch Smallville. I haven't since the first season. And not that Smallville was ever a paragon of television realism, they're starting to turn it into the plot of a cheap 70s porno. Check out what's up for the next episode:
"Clark (Tom Welling) and Jonathan (John Schneider) are thrilled when Jake Jennings (guest star Tom Wopat), Jonathan's oldest friend, rolls into the Kent farm looking for their support in his campaign for re-election to the senate. However, after a young girl named Melissa (guest star Sarah Mutch) turns up dead, it is revealed that she was a stripper and Jennings' mistress, which makes him the prime suspect. Searching for answers, Chloe (Allison Mack) convinces Lois (Erica Durance) to go undercover as a stripper, but things take a dangerous turn when Lois gets kidnapped by a diplomat's son (guest star Woody Jeffreys) who intends to sell her into slavery."

The only thing missing is Lana Lang working out an alternate way to pay the pizza delivery guy... with sexy results.

Prussian Blue - the racist Olsen Twins


Known as "Prussian Blue" — a nod to their German heritage and bright blue eyes — the girls from Bakersfield, Calif., have been performing songs about white nationalism before all-white crowds since they were nine.

"We're proud of being white, we want to keep being white," said Lynx. "We want our people to stay white … we don't want to just be, you know, a big muddle. We just want to preserve our race."

They're so cute, it's a shame they're fucking bigots that should be boot-stomped to death. Their shirts are funny though. More news here.

I've listened to the Fiery Furnaces cover already, and can attest it's good. *VERY* Fiery Furnaces-y, barely Beatles-y. But it works. And with folks like Sufjan Stevens, Ben Kweller, Ted Leo and The Donnas on this, it looks to be great.

Enumclaw: home of the Washington Sex Farm

I stole this from the new issue of Rolling Stone, but I haven't seen it mentioned before on the internerd, so I thought that I'd share this with you guys.
A very disturbing story as a Seattle man has died following a bizarre case of bestiality.

Detectives are investigating the possibility an Enumclaw farm was the base for a ring that abuses animals for sex. And what they've done is not illegal in Washington State.

The emphasis is mine. And how did the man die? "Acute peritonitis due to perforation of the colon". In other words, the horse fucked the guy to death. You can read about this story here and here. It pretty much goes without saying it's not read for those with weak stomaches.

EB: Why it sucks

my store we kept a lot of those pre-owned consoles in the restroom. Do you know how nasty it was to see some Gamecubes, PS2s and XBOXs sitting in a plastic bag near the toilet with dried piss on them? And guess what? Lots of those pissy Gamecubes, PS2s, and XBOXs got quickly wiped off and sold to customers...at X-mas time. Little Tommy wakes up on X-mas morning and plays with his PissBOX, PeeS2, or Toiletcube and everything is just great in the world.

With Gamestop and EB merging into a new hyper corporation, it'll be safe to assume that customer service like this will be the par for the upcoming future. It's too bad that there isn't many indie gaming shops like record or movie shops. That would be some fierce shit.

We at MKZ are uber fond of Bryan Lee O'Malley's creation Scott Pilgrim. It's no doubt the Generation X of our generation. For O'Malley completists, he's releasing a copy of his short comic, Monica Beetle into the the internet wild for our consumption. Although it's not directly related to the Scott Pilgrim universe, O'Malley suggests that the protagnonist, Vincent, is Scott's father and had wild adventures comparable to Scott's in the 70s.

Power Rangers: Rolling Bomber Special

It is part of a series of short films created by the Japanese boy band SMAP (thus at the very end you see an "SSF" logo, which stands for "SMAP Short Films"). Originally airing on their TV show "SMAP x SMAP", a DVD was released with these movies in 2001--apparently, this movie's pretty old.

I tried to search for more of these movies, and all I found was a forum containing a discussion on this film and "Bus Panic," another one of their films that is supposedly funnier than "Rolling Bomber Special."

Crack Squirrels!

"I was chatting with my neighbour who told me that crack users and dealers sometimes use my front garden to hide bits of their stash.

"An hour earlier I'd seen a squirrel wandering round the garden, digging in the flowerbeds.

"It looked like it knew what it was looking for.

"It was ill-looking and its eyes looked bloodshot but it kept on desperately digging.

"It was almost as if it was trying to find hidden crack rocks."

Crack squirrels are a recognised phenomena in the US.

Makes you wonder if meth crows are recognised here in Canada.

The Bizzare GameFAQs phone sex thread

If you're a nerd in the know, you should be well aware that the GameFAQs message boards are filled inane posting by bored teens talking about how l33t they are. This is why the phone sex thread is so precious. Instead of declaring their love via their email, they decided to use an abandoned GameFAQs message board to relay messages to each other. Besides references to kinky phone sex, you get "I'm a sad nerd!" posts like these.

I am so sick of being lonely..haven't I suffered enough in life? Where is my female knight in ****ing shining armor? Where is this supposed blossomed rose who appreciates me as much as I appreciate her? What the ****? Is this just some sort of twisted game of procreation? Don't soulmates count anymore? Or are we just pawns in a game of "****-me chess"? I am so sick and tired of attractive people hooking up and contributing to a ****ed-up mongoloid gene pool...flesh and fantasy are all but a facade of our deepest desires now...doesn't intense carnal craving PLUS intelligent conservation count for anything anymore?!?

Or how about this?

Me...I am suffering at work. I got very little sleep (*wink wink*) last night, I just kinda laid around all day and watched college football at my friend's house that I am watching for the weekend. Then I got motivated and cleaned up the place for the party I'm throwing tomorrow night. I got talked into watching 'Constant Gardener' with a friend and thoroughly enjoyed it. But now I am at work and I am EXTREMELY tired and grumpy...

And Thought That R Kelly Was Bad: True Crime From Thailand


he entertainer/celebrity Peng Chia-chia was at a party. While under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs, he masturbated over a woman. The act was recorded by a mobile phone-camera. The woman is alleged to be the niece of a gang boss. Afterwards, there was an issue with compensation for the 'shame' inflicted on the woman, who had been intoxicated and unconscious at the time. Peng tried to ask other gang bosses to intercede and eventually paid some money. The reported amount varied from NT$3 to NT$90 million. That is the gist of the matter. But why did the reported money amount varied so much?

The most common version (see China Times) was that Peng had negotiated for NT$20 million and he gave the money to an intermediary, the singer Bingo Guo. However, Guo stuffed NT$17 million into his own pockets and passed along only NT$3 million. The gang boss was insulted and sent men to beat up Bingo Guo. He also told Peng to pay up. When Peng told him that his intermediary had pocketed the money, the gang boss said "That's too bad, but I still want my money."

The moral of this story is, naturally, don't masturbate on the boss of mafia bosses when you're intoxicated and they're unconcious. But this should go without saying.
