My Bomberman site updated with some guff after who knows how long. Want to read about the behind-the-scenes on the Bomberman Jetters anime? How about the minute differences between four unique ports of NES Bomberman? If not, that's all I got, sorry.

My February Simpsons review is up, and I'm looking at "Bart's Girlfriend" of Season 6. You might have guessed that it was my intention to get this romance-themed piece out in time for Valentine's Day, but February was hectic and I'm now two weeks behind schedule.

Today I put up one of my many newsletter "projects"; a full annotation of the famously context-free anime OVA Cipher The Video with notes and references sourced from the original manga.

"What the hell was that about?" I have put a lot of time into telling you.

One of my fave bits of fan art. Extremely 'what if Hiroshi Nagai was a fan of the Bonanza Bros'. From 1991

I remembered this comic from 2023 I did based on a cut scene from Willy Wombat, so I put the panels into Premiere and timed it to the audio.

First half of the first ever Ivy the Terrible strip from May 1985. In her playpen, Ivy informs the readers she's going to be the toughest kid in the Beano; she escapes the playpen and goes to Dennis' house, but her plans to bash him are foiled when she can't reach the handle of his garden gate.

Not gold that glitters, or interviews with collectors from different countries. Part 5. Tunisia. Today we present to you the fifth episode — Tunisia (with concurrent coverage of the Middle East) and its resident, hiding under the call…

UnknDoomer from old-games.ru has been doing a series of interviews with game collectors around the world. This week he spoke with guys from Taiwan & Tunisia.

While it's stiff, it's an interesting look at the struggles of being a dev/collector in poorer parts of the world:

Remember Beast Saga? Man I imported a bunch of those in 2012-2013, when it seemed Battle Beasts-style figures were going to be a trend. It wasn't. Here's a review of a great 6-pack. www.16bit.com/fotd/130101-...

Repermint (the panther with the hearts on the armor) should be more popular.

The magic of backlight animation: that pre-digital era when artists had to light up from underneath to create lighting effects through unpainted or translucent parts of cels, backgrounds and various elements.

I asked Megumi about this, and her best guess is that it's so unclear who would even own the rights to Virtual Lab anymore, that there's no established entity that Nintendo could negotiate with for it -- if they even wanted to include the game on the service in the first place. A shame for sure.

Thinking about how much I love the MK3 designs, and on a technical level comparing them to MK1 is actually a REALLY good example of how far color blocking goes in adding personality and appeal to a character design it’s sooo important
