562 - Straight Outta August

So that’s that for August. I had a good time, even if it was a little bit exhausting. It’s like going on a date with a gorgeous blonde and she insists on a 3 course meal, a movie and sex when all you wanted was a quiet drink and a dance.

Blonde is male or female, depending on where you like to swing.

But, all good things must come to an end. I will say August has tied April for my fav month so far. 4 left to go (THAT DRYING JACKET AND HOVERBOARDS BETTER HURRY THE FUCK UP!!!!) so maybe it will change…. Seeing all we got left is September, a watered down Halloween and the other two I hate….. I doubt it.

Just gonna offer some brief comments on a few of the headlines, cus some don’t need further expansion and as I said last time, I’m trying to let the comics speak for themselves these days.



I can easily write off the Castlevania porno pachinko machine as “lol Japan” and be on my way. Yet sadly that is a pretty accurate description of it. That’s kinda what Japan does, I guess it’s their version of the fan service you’d see in DC’s New 52.

But is it warranted in something Castlevania related?

Not really no.

Yes, you have the succubus boss fight/character who is overly sexualised. Yet her inclusion is about 0.5% of what the game is about. I’d actually prefer seeing Dracula biting more people in the games… Cus that’s what gets me off.

*me gusta*


To say I’ve jumped off the Mighty No 9 hype train is an understatement. Well, considering that train hasn't budged a smegging inch in awhile. My warning flags fired right up when Inafune wanted to make a cartoon show, a Manga, toys and a live action movie of the game…. That hadn’t even reached 20% competition at the time.

I asked the reasonable question of “Shouldn’t you wait for the game to come out first, see if it’s a hit and then do all that?” and people told me to stop worrying, it will be fine.

So you can imagine how quiet those people became when Inafune launched another Kickstarter for “I can’t believe it’s not Mega Man Legends 3” and it got rejected.

At this point, I’m convinced Inafune won’t release Mighty No 9 until he has 2 matching gold houses paid for by Kickstarter money. Hey if he releases the game sometime this century I’ll play it…. Then put it down to go play either Mega Man Zero 3 or Mega Man 2.

Oh speaking that, you know it’s gotta suck when Capcom actually managed to bring out A MEGA MAN GAME while this thing still isn’t finished.

Ouch, that’s one right in the credibility!


On the subject of Capcom, when did they stop being shit? I mean with all the praise I’ve seen for Street Fighter 5, a Mega Man collection came out, DMC4HD getting good sales numbers to the news Resident Evil 2 is finally being remade, welcome back to the land of the living Capcom!

RE2 is my fav in the series, and I am ashamed to admit I’ve yet to beat the game, hopefully I’ll end that when this comes out… Presumably before Mighty No 9 of course.


You’ll have to forgive the brief mention of the GOP. I have no idea what it is and only knew it involved  Donald Trump calling himself Batman.


I know I poked fun at the Sonic fanbase with the HDG-R Christmas Special, but even then it felt like I was beating a dead horse. Pointing out how weird Sonic fans are now is kind of a “be there, done that” kinda deal, so you’ll forgive my lack of enthusiasm for the Sonic Dream Collection LP’s cluttering up Youtube like the endless pile of COD or FNaF ones.


Cheating on your loved one is wrong. So I have no sympathy for those exposed in the Ashley Madison hack.


The Minions need to fuck off already!! Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen Despicable Me or it’s sequels but why are those little yellow bastards EVERYWHERE I go online? I don’t see the appeal behind them and I’m being painfully reminded of the Ponies and Rabbids before them.

To save some time, can the memes the internet farted out this year join the Minions on their journey back from the Hell that spawned them?


I got asked if I’d still eat at Subway now that Jared’s gone to prison. Well sure, it’s not as if the sandwiches diddled the kids now did they?

It’s like how I say I don’t blame religion for the fanatics, I blame the fanatics on the fanatics.


That’s about it for August. Let’s do this again in September.
