In other news, Mark Musashi has a blog. It hasn’t been updated since 2006, but if you’re listenin’ Mark… your fans wanna here from you, dude. :)

FRIDAY ACE: “Salute The Plumber” Edition - Week of 2/17/08

22 02 2008

It’s a fact that more people know the Super Mario Brothers theme more than their own national anthem. The question is, what if the theme WAS a national anthem. Famed game composer Nobuo Uematsu thinks that this is a good idea.

From 1up.com:

I think that the Super Mario song should be the national anthem for Japan. [Hums the death refrain] So when someone wins a gold medal at the Olympics, a Japanese athlete, the flag should go up with the theme song. Shoop! …The world would have a different image of Japan if we use that.

Check out the rest of this award winning banter here.

All I’m saying is that if Japan gets to have the Super Mario Bros. theme replace the Kimigayo, the Star-Spangled Banner should be replaced by Hulk Hogan’s intro theme…

And now, this week’s Friday ACE.

Finale Friday: GekiRanger & KR Den-O… Finish the Fight.

22 02 2008

Another year, and another fight comes to an end. Den-O I just wasn’t feelin’, but as I look to the board and to the signatures of the posters, it looks like Ryuutaro and the rest of the Taro’s got as much love as any Rider Series. I’m glad you enjoyed!

For me, it was all about GekiRanger. I counted the series out pretty quickly due to the crack-loving Jan, but gave it one more shot… and Rio-sama made it all worth it and then some. Granted, I’ve only watched the modern age Sentai, so I can’t compare it to the Golden or Silver age of Sentai. But from what I’ve seen, Jan aside, this was the most enjoyable Sentai series I’ve ever had the pleasure of following.

Postin’ ‘em up for posterity and for those of you that might not have seen it. Enjoy and have an awesome weekend.

FRIDAY ACE: “Epic Rickroll” Edition - Week of 2/10/08

15 02 2008
1202666100024xy5.jpg

This was the scene outside of multiple Scientology branches this past Sunday as part of a mass 4chan Scientology raid protest. The reason this wins the honor of having this week’s Friday ACE named after it. Because of the massive Rick Roll that was the London protest group…

From This Entry Here:

One guy in a full-on V outfit made an announcement in a very dull and proper fashion that none of us could hear properly. We were busy heckling him (anonymous has no problem with criticising anonymous), when he reaches the end of his speech and presses play on a boombox…

The crowd went fucking wild.

500 people rick-rolling the UK Scientology head office. It was at this point I saw the corners of the cops’ mouths twitch into smiles as they realised it was ok: we were from the internets.

Thank you Anonymous for making my week. What? You were expecting a Valentine’s Day theme? Too bad. And now, your Friday ACE.
