Newgrounds.com and Michael Swain do an online animated comic called Blockhead. It's about an annoying fifteen year old that created his own holiday called Ghostmas.

Although, I have yet to see this weeks episode of Heroes (because my town of San Diego was burning down). Here are two videos of Masi Oka in Times Square. Classic film because not one tourist recognizes or bothers with him as they are all preoccupied with the buildings in Times Square. Masi even reenacts the famous 360 shot of his character Hiro Nakamura with no avail. The next video shows a tourist asking Masi Oka to take his picture for him. Freakin hilarious because he then asked him to take a second shot because apparently the first shot sucked. Thanks for all the cool Heroes videos Buckshotwon! Arigato gozaimasu Hiro Nakamura!

IWG COMBAT MOD SQUAD: TITUS THE GRIZZLY and AFFONSO THE RHINO

We saw these guys at the IWG booth at Comic Con earlier this year. We are happy to announce that these guys will be riding into our shop just in time for Christmas.

IWG COMBAT MOD SQUAD Ideal for urban areas of operation, the stylish, efficient and iconic Italian scooter is the new ride for the I.nsurgents W.ilderness G.ruppo. Perfect for zipping up and down narrow alleyways and twisting city streets, scooters deliver members of the fighting I.W.G. to their urban targets quickly and with a strong element of surprise. These scooters are no ordinary ones, either - they have been modified with the same alien technology as the IWG Rocketships, run on common refuse and emit zero pollutants. Take that, gas guzzling Hummers!
After combat missions, Titus and Affonso can often be seen with their scooters parked in front of one of their favorite cafes, drinking mint tea and biscotti.

The Hollywood Reporter has reported that Tobey Maguire is going to produce, and possibly star in, a live-action movie based on the Robotech TV series. We're hoping that the movie will be edgy and darker vs family oriented Transformers the movie. There is a lot of things that can be done but hopefully they make a good movie for the real Robotech fans! No release date set yet. I have attached a video from the tube of the original cartoon intro. Boy do I miss Saturday mornings.....

Last night was the Fox Reality TV Awards Show. In attempts to get a laugh and stay in the spotlight, Johnny Fairplay decides to jump on Danny Bonaduce and start humping him on stage. If you have seen Danny Bonaduce's reality show or know anything about him, you don't do that. Danny decides to "shake his foundation" as Danny would put it. Johnny is back in the spotlight but it cost him his two front teeth.
