U.S. Pokemon Snap commercial (YouTube) For those of you looking for something cool to download to your Wii, here's an ad for Pokemon Snap.
Note the truncated slogan at the end - "Gotta Catch 'Em" - I bet that was done because, technically, they're not "all" in Snap.
Sam & Max Headed For The Wii, Nobody Surprised (Kotaku) It's about time we started getting some substantial rumors about this. I really hope they avoid the download route, because I don't think the Wii's onboard memory can handle it.
Get ready to make the Disney Magic Connection (Jim Hill Media) Apparently Disney is about to start field testing a Disney World wireless PDA/gaming device that would display live wait times for rides, character locations, trivia, location-specific games, and other park info. And get this, it runs on a DS! I want that cart!
"Thundercats": A Critical Retrospective (Toon Zone) Despite being a mostly negative look back at the 'Cats, this article made me want the Season One boxed set.
The Hard Lessons of Kwicky Koala (Cartoon Brew) Poignant and terse editorial about how - and why - animation great Tex Avery finished out his career doing shit for H-B.
Holiday Gift Bonanza!!! (Publick Nuisance) A December post from Jackson Publick's weblog, mostly about his awesome Venture Brothers show. In this entry, he reveals that Stephen Colbert will not be returning to voice incidental character Professor Impossible in Venture Season Three. (He's also not doing Phil Ken Sebben in the new Harvey Birdman game.) Read how Publick was treated and you'll come to the conclusion that either Colbert is a dick or he's being managed by dicks.
