| $5 MP3 Album Deal: Weezer (Green Album) Posted: 17 Oct 2012 05:51 PM PDT  As part of Amazon's monthly $5 MP3 album deals for October 2012, Weezer's Weezer is on sale for only $5. If you would like a physical copy of Weezer, the CD is available for only $8.97. Not to be confused with Weezer's other self-titled album (also called "The Blue Album"), which marked their 1994 debut, Weezer was released in 2001 and marked the quirky band from L.A.'s re-emergence on alternative rock radio. It is also known as "The Green Album" because of the bright green album cover. Notable tracks include "Hash Pipe" and "Island in the Sun."

| Comic Review: G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #182 Posted: 17 Oct 2012 04:00 PM PDT  G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #182 Written by Larry Hama Pencils by Ron Frenz Inks by Sal Buscema Colors by J. Brown Letters by Neil Uyetake Covers by Ron Frenz & Sal Buscema and Larry Hama IDW Publishing Release Date: September 26, 2012 Cover Price: $3.99 As far as G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero #182 goes, it's a pretty good comic. My only complaint is that despite having Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow on the cover, they are nowhere to be seen in the issue. Otherwise, the book is pretty great! The Godfather of G.I. Joe, writer Larry Hama, still cranks out fantastic, believable, and militarily accurate stories today just like he did almost 20 years ago. This issue sees all the tracker specialist Joes go after the recently escaped Darklon. There's a LOT more to that story, but for spoiler reasons, I won't give anything away. Besides that you have Road Pig and Zarana dealing with a secret agent and Zartan looking to get back in the good graces of Cobra. What most impresses me about the story is the way Hama balances so many subplots so easily. You get just enough of each one to satisfy you, and each plot is moved along just enough to keep you looking forward to the next issue. [...] |

| Comic Review: Logan’s Run: Aftermath #6 Posted: 17 Oct 2012 12:30 PM PDT  Logan's Run: Aftermath #6 Written by Paul J. Salamoff Art by Carsten Biernat Colors by Jesse Heagy Letters by Warren Montgomery Cover by Mike Dorman Bluewater Comics Release Date: October 17, 2012 Cover Price: $2.99 Logan's Run: Aftermath #6 is pretty much what a fun science fiction comic book should be. At least, on some levels. Unfortunately, some production issues get in the way of what should be an enjoyable comic. Paul J. Salamoff takes some risks in this issue with storytelling. Unfortunately, none of them really pay off here. It just leaves the reader confused. REALLY REALLY confused. Don't get me wrong, you can follow the story and you get a beginning, middle, and end, but you feel like you're missing something the whole issue. I'm not sure if it's because I haven't read the previous couple of issues, but I figured "It's Logan's Run! It'll be easy to follow!" I was pretty mistaken. The biggest problem in this issue is that Salamoff seems to almost want to make a silent issue and it's just not working out in his favor. The lack of dialouge just leaves the reader confused and guessing as to what's going on. Not very impressed with how the plot pays out here [...] |

| Posted: 17 Oct 2012 10:00 AM PDT  Dishonored Xbox 360 l PlayStation 3 l PC DEVELOPER: Arkane Studios PUBLISHER: Bethesda Softworks RELEASE DATE: October 9, 2012 Sequels to video games tend to take a little longer to make than sequels to movies, but they're also much more accepted than movie sequels. Still, gamers yearn for those original titles---the next big games that could become great enough to warrant sequels---and one of the more anticipated original titles was Dishonored, the new game developed by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. A Neo-Victorian supernatural assassin game set in the foggy England-inspired fictional city of Dunwall. How could anyone not be extremely excited for that? [...] |
| The GoD List: Comics For October 17, 2012 Posted: 17 Oct 2012 08:30 AM PDT  Each and every week "I am the tag team champions!" Henchman21 AND "NO! I AM THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!" MK2Fac3 read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible… theoretically. Naturally, they looks forward to some more than others. I mean, who doesn't? So, let's take a look into the depths of their pull lists, grab some comics, and they'll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of October 17, 2012. Single issues and trades, they're all here. Well, well, well, look who's making his triumphant return? It's me, it's me, it's the d-o-double-me. That's right, you might have thought I was dead, and I might have been, but I've been resurrected by a magical coven of three unholy sorceresses who wish to remain nameless. But much like a Marvel Zombie, not only am I amongst the walking dead, but I've also got the magical power of watching loads of professional wrestling and reading comics. There's been a lot that I've missed out on, but let's get back in the spirit of Halloween with some great comics that might just spook your brain. Well, at least my picks will do that, Chris on the other hand, he does whatever he wants. And oh yeah, Batman is freaking awesome. Get out of my face. GoD List!!!! [...] |
| ‘Son Of Ernest’ To Continue Ernest P. Worrell Movies; Jim Varney Rolls In Grave Posted: 17 Oct 2012 07:00 AM PDT  There's a lot of movies you could say we truly do not need. One of them would be a new installment in the Ernest P. Worrell series. The movies, which spanned nine titles and starred Jim Varney as the simple and lovable character whose face often contorted into strange reactionary expressions, are considered to have high nostalgic appeal to many who grew up in the '80s and early '90s. Now comes word that a company called Ruckusfilm is developing a new entry in the series, titled Son of Ernest. [...] |
