To quote the super cute girl in this video, this makes me “proper excited”.
After spending an entire weekend at the Chicago C2E2 Convention, I’m so dead set on getting more into gaming it isn’t even funny. Stay tuned for my gaming post.
Until then, let it be known that there are cute girls out there who dig what you do!
Junk Food Episode 2 – “Utilize The Fact That No One’s Watching You”
I hate cooking shows. I hate that they are boring and that they make food that takes forever to make, that uses expensive ingredients and the end result looks like something I wouldn’t want to eat. So this is why I am making a cooking show for people like me: who want cheap food, easy to make, and it tastes awesome!
Hope you dig it.
And in case you are still making the Unofficial Junk DVD, here is the stuff I cut out…

Junk Food episode 2.5 – Special FAN Edition
Be back here on the site on Sunday for the premiere of Episode 2 – The Cake Cookies!
Pryde of The X-Men
When I say X-Men the animated series. What is the first thing that pops into your mind? Is it this?
Me too.
However, this morning, I found out that the X-Men series we know and love, was almost something completely different. In 1989, Marvel tried to get another X-Men series greenlit. It was called Pryde of the X-Men.
This would have been the theme we hummed as we hit each other with quarterstaffs.
Your mind is blown right now right? Mine was too. But as I watched this I noticed something very familiar about this team of mutants. Take another look at the X-Men title. Does it look familiar? No? Ok, let’s take a look at the team.
So the quality isnt the greatest. But from left to right our X-Men are Dazzler, Wolverine, Colosus, Cyclopse, Storm, and Nightcrawler.
Is this team ringing any bells from your childhood? Dazzler should be a huge hint.
Ok what if I showed you this image.
That’s right. This pilot that never got off the ground turned into that amazing tri-screen arcade game we all pumped roll after roll of quarters into.
Back to the animated series that almost was. Stan Lee narrated the pilot episode (which was fully funded by the Robocop animated series profits), which follows the X-Men try to stop Magneto and his “Brotherhood”.
Some things of note. Not only did this pilot inspire the wicked arcade game (which is now available on the iPhone might I add), but it also inspired a Nintendo game, where they swapped Dazzler for Iceman. It’s rated as the worst superhero game of all time.
Also, check out the full pilot episode below and listen to Wolverine’s voice. Yeah…that’s an Australian accent.
Pretty wild huh? So why did it fail?
Well for starters, if you take a step back and look at X-Men, there are a lot of overriding “dark” themes. Genocide, racism, bigotry, isolation. This show deals with them in a very superficial way. Almost as if it’s trying to get the point across for kids…but adults were the main viewers on the panel. We know how hardcore X-Men fans can be. To add insult to injury, fans of the comic didn’t like that Kitty Pryde was portrayed more as a damsel in distress rather than a badass. Finally, Wolvie’s Aussie accent. How the hell can a Canadian sound like that.
Again, goes to show, you mess up Wolverine, your whole idea will get ripped to shreds by fans.
Don’t mess with me bub.
So the X-Men cartoons move on their merry way, but then suddenly comes 1992, and who pops back up on our Saturday morning TV?
And so your childhood is now complete.
Blow Out Sale
Not only does this funny short film have Danny Pudi from Community in it, but at the very beginning you’ll notice Glen from The Walking Dead.
This film not only proves that all men cannot resist a good “hand gun” battle at any age, but also throws back to the amazing episode of Spaced that is just a little bit more epic than this short film.
Grimm Fairy Tales – The Animated Series
So, you’ve all seen these comics on the shelf at comic stores or at comic conventions. Heck, I know that I have. But outside of the awesome artwork (that vaugly remind me of J. Scott Campbell’s style), this comic has a ton of interesting history behind it, and no I don’t just mean fairy tale history.
But before we go gung-ho into why this series is awesome, and why you need to keep reading this post…let me catch all of you who aren’t familiar with it up to speed.
Grimm Fairy Tales is an ongoing horror/fantasy comic book series by ZenescopeEntertainment that started publication in 2005. The series presentsreinventions of classic fairy tales with modern twists and expanded plots. Thestory revolves around Sela Mathers, a Professor of Literature who has beengiven the ability to drastically affect people’s lives by teaching themmorality lessons through fairy tales.
So by now you’re asking yourself, “Wait, with art like this, and this wicked premise, why have I not been reading this?” That’s a valid question, and I wish I had an answer for you.
Well fret no more my friends, because I’ve got a few cool announcements regarding the series right here.
First order of business - If you haven’t been reading the series, now is a great time to start! Grimm is releasing it’s 75th issue! This is big time stuff because Grimm is the longest running, independant, color comic to date. If you aren’t impressed by this feat, you should be.
So let’s get to the even more cool stuff, and how you can be a part of the Zenescope family, and help Grimm take its series to the next level.
Zenescope Entertainment is working with Titmouse Studios to bring you, the Grimm fans, an animated series based off of the popular comic!
Swing over and check out the Kickstarter page and video now.
Does the name Titmouse sound familiar to you? It should. Ever watch shows like Venture Bros and Metalocalypse?
Oh, did I also mention that Lena Heady was just brought onto the project to voice the main character Sela?
Now that you are all impressed, and you’re all tellimg me to shut up and take your money, get over to the Kickstarter page and join the Zenescope Army and let’s make this happen folks!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For all of you attending C2E2 like myself, be sure to swing by the Zenescope panel on Saturday!
ZenescopeEntertainment will be speaking more about this project and more upcomingprojects in our panel “Expand – a – Brand” at C2E2 onSaturday, at 5:15pm in room N426a.
