Acquisitions of the NES Kind

Posted by JerryTerrifying On Wednesday, August 14, 2013 5 comments


It's not often that I put up a post on the site about shit I got.  I think it's one of the worst types of content proliferating websites that cover older games and especially youtube.  However there is definitely a market for it and from time to time I do make an acquisition that's worth showing off.  As a matter of fact I've only ever turded up the site with one other post detailing junk I got.  It was a special circumstance, Famicom games I received for my 30th birthday which happens to be the same year the Famicom turned 30.  I made an exception.

DVD Review: The Amazing World of Gumball Volume 1 (2011 - ongoing)

Posted by Retrokaiser On 0 comments

The Amazing World of Gumball Volume One is a cartoon series about the wacky lives of Gumball Watterson along with his sister Anais and their brother Darwin .  Gumball is a very adorable happy go lucky blue cat that loves to play around and have fun.  Anais is a four year old pink bunny rabbit and is the brainiest of the siblings and she loves watching Daisy the Donkey.  Darwin is their adopted goldfish brother that actually started off as their pet but one day he unexpectedly evolved and now he is a proud member of the family.  I really like that as I hate it when I see shows that have animals as lead characters have pets.  There are more great characters in this show like their parents.  Their mother is an overly protective blue cat that works at a rainbow factory and their dad is a big fluffy pink bunny that loves sleeping and eating.  Most of the episodes take place at either home or at their school, Elmore High.

DVD Review: Mawaru-Penguindrum Part 2 (2011)

Posted by Retrokaiser On Saturday, August 10, 2013 0 comments

Mawaru-Penguindrum is a action-packed science fiction show about a family that is sent on a mission to retrieve a book that legend says it can alter reality.  There is a bit more to this as in order for it to work you must accept a punishment as payment.  They're not the only ones after the book as you also have the blonde bombshell actress by the name of Yuri Tokikago.  She is after the book so she can make all her pain and suffering disappear.  You also have the rich beauty with a knack for shooting Ping-Pong balls with her slingshot.  Her name is Masako Natsume and she is after it so she can revive her little brother Mario from his coma.  The family I mentioned before is made up of two guys, a girl but no pizza place.  The two brothers are named Kanba and Shoma and their little sister is named Himari.  In this volume Himari is stuck at hospital in a comatose state with her brothers watching over her wondering if she'll ever wake up.  They are in luck as a shady looking doctor walks up to them and offers them a all-new miracle cure that will put their sister back in tip top shape but the downside is that the cure is ridiculously expensive.  Kanba manages to get some money together and pay for the medicine but Shoma gets suspicious as to how he got the money as the whole think stinks of illegal operations.  How is Kanba getting the money?  Who will get the book?  What does the doctor really want?

Blu-Ray Review: Mysterious Girlfriend X (2012)

Posted by Retrokaiser On Saturday, August 3, 2013 0 comments

Mysterious Girlfriend X is a animated romantic comedy about a boy named Akira Tsubaki and a girl named Mikoto Urabe.  The series starts off with Akira Tsubaki waking up in bed after (heavily alluding to) having his first wet dream.  He gets up, gets dressed, eats breakfast, goes to school and when he starts the first period of school his class gets introduced to a new transfer student named Mikoto Urabe.  Mikoto Urabe is a bit of a weird girl with her hair constantly covering her eyes, always sleeping during class breaks and randomly laughs at stuff during class from hearing stuff other students are whispering.  School is finished for the day and Akira Tsubaki is getting ready to go home but before he leaves he spots Mikoto Urabe sleeping at her desk so he goes to wake her up so he can tell her that school has finished.  Mikoto Urabe wakes up and Akira Tsubaki sees something he didn't expect to see and that was Mikoto Urabe's uncovered face and blushes while he watches her leave.  Akira Tsubaki is about to leave but he spots a puddle of drool on Mikoto Urabe's desk and does what every young healthy boy would do... dip in his finger and start tasting it.  He is surprised that the drool tastes as sweet as honey and when he goes to sleep that night he starts having dreams that he is with her dancing in a bizarre steam-punk world.  The next day he falls ill with a very high temperature and is visited by Mikoto Urabe a few days later as she knows exactly why he has been bedridden for the past few days.  Turns out the illness that Akira Tsubaki is suffering was from being lovesick (this scene isn't as corny as I make it out to be).  Mikoto Urabe fixes the problem by giving Akira Tsubaki some of her drool and this instantly gets rid of his fever.  The next day he returns to school and while Akira Tsubaki is on his way home he walks up to Mikoto Urabe and confesses his love for her and thus begins their journey together as a couple.  (Click "Read More" to see the full review).
