Dropping the Bass (and Treble)

In case anyone was curious about the status of Bandai’s D-Arts Bass figure (with Treble, naturally) at various retailers, tipster “Dr. Wily” has given us the lowdown on the current situation.

Miss UDON’s SDCC Exclusives? Worry Not!

We’re going to level with you: The San Diego Comic-Con kind of sucks. Don’t get us wrong, it’s all kinds of awesome, but having all of that awesomeness concentrated into one place is why it sucks; paying to go, paying to stay, paying to attend, and the worst part: Competing with everyone else who is […]

The Blue Ink Reviews Sonic the Hedgehog #251 – Worlds Collide Part 12: Going Gold

Taking It to the Xtremes: Capcom Bringing Remaining Mega Man Game Boy Games to Virtual Console
