Mr Potato Head at Toy Story Midway Mania (YouTube) Exceptional audio-animatronic, but nothing's sadder than a robot going its supposedly interactive, pre-programmed routine with barely anybody paying attention. Watch his eyes though. I love his eyes.
Bakshi in NY Mag (Cartoon Brew) From an interview with legendary subversive animator Ralph Bakshi, his thoughts on "the painter of light" Thomas Kinkade. Hilarious.
OK you guys, this kinda puts the lie to all that World's Greatest Scientist Totally Believes in God stuff.
Niko Bellic's Twitter (Twitter) I actually had this brilliant idea earlier in the week, but somebody beat me to it. Whoever is doing this, I hope they keep it up.
Cho Aniki on Virtual Console (VC-Reviews.com) Cho Aniki is a gaming in-joke because of a surfeit of ripped bodybuilder imagery... nearly naked male torsos melded with rockets, for example. Every so often, some mag or website runs a screenshot of Cho Aniki and everyone is either aghast or bemused by those crazy Japanese and their homoerotic side-scrolling shooter. Anyway, it's already on the EU Virtual Console. My suspicion is that we'll find that this game really isn't anywhere near as "bad" as people want to think it is. At least, not the first Cho Aniki. Japan made plenty of them.
