Ninjabread Man on Wii
September 7, 2007 | 1 Comment
Emmons sent along a link to this upcoming game from Conspiracy Entertainment: Ninjabread Man.
From the video, the graphics look terrible, the worlds empty, and the game play basic. However, the premise is so maddeningly entertaining that it needed to be pointed out regardless of quality.
Conspiracy Entertainment is attempting to put out nine games for Wii in 2007 including: Offroad Extreme, Mini Desktop Racing, Action GirlzRacing, Rock ‘N’ Roll Adventures: Elviz, Monster Trux Extreme, Myth Makers Super Kart GP, Billy the Wizard, and Anubis II (there was an Anubis 1?!?). I weep for game industry reviewers who will be tortured through these games. Not a one of them looks useful enough to be in a pack of mini games… An IGN commenter couldn’t have said it better - “Oh for the love of god burn them all!”
Sadly the box art and the following description are probably the best Ninjabread Man will ever deliver…
Hordes of snapping Cup Cakes, angry Bees and Jelly Monsters have taken over this once sweet and tasty land. Only one man can stop this evil army of monster cakes. He’s one tough cookie, a guy that won’t crumble under the pressure……’Ninjabread Man’ is here!
Throw Ninja stars to stun enemies and then follow up with Ninjabread Man’s mighty samurai sword, reducing enemies into a quivering pool of Raspberry Jam.
Collect power ups to increase the power and range of Ninjabread Man’s weapons and use Ninja skills to jump onto high ledges, dash past enemies and find the Magic Candies! Can the Ninjabread Man save the day? Candy Land’s future depends on you!

Ask a Ninja: Pirates of the Carribean 2 Review
July 21, 2006 | 3 Comments
I have thought Ask A Ninja was brilliant since the first time I watched it. Basically this is a funny podcast where a ninja answers questions and spouts about this and that. The camera changes angles rapidly and the often circular and self-referencing dialog is side-splitting funny at times. Without a doubt this is one of the best video podcasts currently available
Switching topics, Pirates of the Carribean:Dead Man’s Chest was sadly not very good. The first movie was outstanding, but this one suffers from a lot of ailments, including being primarily just a lead in to the third movie. After I saw it I had thought about trying to write a review myself, but after seeing the following video from Ask A Ninja, I didn’t need to.
The ninja rightfully attacks the movie for a series of things including too many plot lines, everyone being pirates, loss of “the pirates code”, etc. This is a harsh and extremely accurate review. So far everyone who has seen this video has loved it, so hit play and get free entertainment here to make up for what was lost in seeing Pirates.

Ninjas Are So Sweet…
January 25, 2006 | 11 Comments
A bunch of years ago Justin, Greg, and I discovered Real Ultimate Power. This is the official ninja homepage. From the site:
Facts:
1. Ninjas are mammals.
2. Ninjas fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the ninja is to flip out and kill people.
Some various great quotes:
Ninjas cut off heads ALL the time and don’t even think twice about it. [...]
Ninjas are sooooooooooo sweet that I want to crap my pants. [...] I love ninjas with all of my body (including my pee pee). [...]
Then the ninja woman has to battle the boss dog. The boss dog is huge. Before the boss dog can attack, she uppercuts the boss dog’s nuts so hard that the boss explodes. Then the guitar squeals REALLY hard and explodes. [...]
I thought of this script right before bedtime. I got so pumped I almost kicked my mom right in the face! [...]
There is more sweetness there, but you’ll have to experience it for yourself. If there is a site that is more sweet than this, let me know, but beware, a ninja might flip out and kick your mom in the head!
