ZOMG They Are Remaking the Duck Tails Game!

This might not be significant to anyone who doesn’t remember the original NES or Gameboy game but in a time when every cartoon franchise had to have it’s own shovelware game, Ducktales rose above the piles of accumulating gaming manure as a truly excellent platform game.

It’s been a very long time since I played it, and I can’t be bothered doing any research at the moment, but if I recall the game followed Scrooge McDuck on a round the world quest to save his three kidnapped nephews. And it was awesome!

For the uninitiated here is a sample of the original NES gameplay:

Bravest Warriors: Animated Space Adventure Series by the Creator of Adventure Time

Bravest Warriors

I spent my evening last night watching these 5 minute episodes of Bravest Warriors, the new animated space adventure by Pendleton Ward the creator of Adventure Time.

I’ve only recently been inducted into the Adventure time cult, but I’ve fast grown to love the show, these episodes have everything that makes adventure time fun, just condensed into an even shorter time span and…

IN SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE!

The episodes are to air exclusively online on the Bravest Warriors YouTube channel, and Boom Studios are releasing comics based on the show that you can buy now!

The Art Style is adventure time, the humour is adventure time, the voices are for the most part adventure time, and it has a chip tune theme song, what’s not to like, I’ve embedded the first few episodes here so you don’t have to go anywhere to watch them, you can thank me later.

You Monster!

This short clip by @notquitenormal asks the question What if a portal 2 had been filmed as a cartoon? This video is quite creepy, but also quite cool. It it way too short I want more.

The animator’s real name is Chelsea according to her twitter, her website appears to be down, but she has a tumblr and deviant art page.

Fucking Prawns!

I was in TSUTAYA in Shibuya last week, and while browsing the Blue Ray/DVD section I saw this little sticker and thought: No it can’t be!

Surely enough there is a little cartoon prawn, presumably by the staff, to draw your attention  to the film. I enjoyed District 9 but for weeks after I kept on saying “I hate those Fucking Prawns” in a really bad South African accent.

This amused me no end and will hopefully amuse you. If it doesn’t amuse you then you are probably a fucking prawn!

Weird Sex In The Animal Kingdom

The next time you think about setting your relationship status as “it’s complicated” spare a thought for these bizarre sexual practices that happen between animals…

Map of Ikea

Anyone who has been to an Ikea knows the hell of their shop layout. The maze of corridors and random flat pack furniture is hellish. This cartoon by Pleated-Jeans plays on this, personally I’ve yet to find the roaming minotaur but maybe that’s because I tie together those free tape measures they have so I always know my way back.

The Unsung Hero of The Mushroom Kingdom

I found this on Reddit today. It amuses me to think that Mario isn’t the first to try and rescue princess Peach.

Requirements

I saw this image on Facebook and it reminded me of the image below. I’ve worked in both the music industry and in the software development and you see this almost every day…

Things are over specified, over designed over sold, and under delivered constantly…
