Now, for those of you who read Japanator, which I am damn sure is all of us, you may remember a review of the magazine Yen+ a few weeks ago, where the Vengeance of McDick gave its approval. I wholeheartedly agree with him. Now, I’m sure that most of you have yet to check it out, or no desire whatsoever to check it out, but for the one or two of you who do, subscriptions are now available with the second issue. Need a reason to subscribe? Soul Eater. There, enjoy.
Now, I would not call myself one of those Rocky Horror obsessives. Never been to a screening with folks in costume nor an actual live performance of the cult classic take on the sexual revolution of the 70s (meets aliens). That said, I do love the movie.
The really weird thing about it is that exec producer for the original film is returning for this one, and Richard O’Brien– who wrote the original musical –is also co-producing this one (he also played Riff-Raff originally, but I’m guessing he won’t repriese that part of the role).
So I guess this is just one of those cases where a bunch of people did something that was really popular once, and they want to do it again, but they can’t actually come up with something new so they just remake the original thing? Or something? Boo. BOOOOOOO.
Insert a variety of “Damnit, Janet” and “let’s NOT do the time warp again” jokes here.
Yet another article from IGN, new Rhythm Tengoku DS gameplay videos. I cannot express in words how good or how much I loved Rhythm Tengoku for the GBA. It was like Wario died, went to Japan to get his master’s degree in music, and then made another game. It’s just so much better than Warioware is. I’ll stop now, just go get it and play it.
In New Zealand recently, a judge ruled against parents naming children stupid names. The child in question was named Talula Does The Hula, and she was from Hawaii. After the judge ruled in her favor, he proceeded to yell at the parents (I exaggerate, of course), and set a precedence on child naming in New Zealand. Now children may not be named Fish and Chips, Yeah Detroit, Keenan Got Lucy and Sex Fruit, he said. But others were allowed, including Number 16 Bus Shelter “and tragically, Violence,” he said.
What I want to know, is what would you name your child if you could name him/her anything?
It seems that recently a child five years of age was able to sneak out of his preschool class, and venture on a journey that led to a Hooters. The temperature during his walk was over 100 degrees, and he crossed at least two major busy streets. He first stopped in a Pep Boys and stole some gum, and then proceeded to a local gas station to steal a tasty carbonated beverage. He then arrived at a Hooters where he was given a coloring book until the police arrived to return him to his father. They are now investigating the preschool.
It might just be me, but I see a serious problem in the fact that this kid stole gum and a beverage, and they are investigating his preschool instead of his living environment. Bitches best recognize that they are finger-painting in that school, not teaching a kid how to steal stuff and then go on a search for breast. Kid just misses his mom.
As Kuro has been smelling, and as Axia has discovered, I’m trying for a resurrection of Jerkpop. Why would I do it? Who the hell do you think I am!? I am Baku, I will teach you about your penis, and I won’t let this site go out like a bitch. I am hoping to have more posts, better posts, and better podcast times that more people can participate. Kuro, you up for it? I know many people are, so let us rise to the occasion and jerk their pop. Or pop their jerk. Or Kuro their Sigue.
Ok, This was a lie. Due to collective interests, Jerkpop will be shutting down.
Nis might become a fansubber, Tube hasn’t stopped touching himself since feburary, Cyber34 has lost his keyboard (and that was the only keyboard in the Ukraine), Gia has a new site and a social life, I have a social life and i’ll be traveling alot during the summer, Ebzero never gave a shit, and Bakuryu is getting fucked over.
I had a fun time with jerkpop, as did the others when it was going strong, but our time has passed. I’ll be said to shut things down, but its better than cranking out shit. Maybe someday jerkpop will start back up, but for now, we’ve finished. Its been a good experience for me, and maybe i’ll start other projects. Who knows? We’ll all still be in the Japanator IRC anyway.
Why I call this almost the end is that Jerkpop will have a proper send off. There will be our 20th and final podcast, and I’m going to try and have everyone that was on the first ever podcast “Episode 00″, on the final podcast.
Yea, I know. I usually don’t post any anime news, but on this occasion, I have to make an exception.
As you may or may not know, gia and Kuro is at the New York Comic Con hitting it o–, I mean, giving us news from the Con…Uh, yea. The best thing I’ve heard so far aside from the silence of not having to hear Kuro’s whining is that Bandai Entertainment has acquire the license to Gurren Lagann. According to gia’s blog, Bandai will release a sub only release this July and the full goodness early next year.
You see that video? It looks almost like a real television news story, doesn’t it? This is a video from The Onion quite possibly the greatest source of news on the face of the Earth. Of course, it’s fake. Most of it is fake at least. The background with the funky wall of monitors and special effects, all of that is fake. The stories on the other hand are 100% real.
That was a lie. I’m sorry. Unless you believe in conspiracy theories, then it wasn’t.
But in all honesty, these days when ill-informed people freak out over stupid small things like a short sex scene in a video game that is no worse than what can be seen on any regular TV station, you’re probably getting more reliable news from the people who are flat out faking the story rather than the people who are paid to report real world events.
