Mark's Epic Blog of Randomness

 By Mark Rodriguez This has been a long-time coming. I got this one way back in May but I've been to busy to get to this one until now. Looks like we'll be seeing a fight between ProtoMan and Bass. There's also a back-up story related to MegaMan Battle Network. "Rival Robots" opens with a news reporter that looks a lot like Chun Li, covering the story that Dr. Wily has broken out of the Mega City Prison and had been running free for a week. His robots have run rampant all over the world and they can only hope that Mega Man can put a stop to this. Dr. Light is working on a robot that MegaMan found. As he fixes him, he wonders who created it. As he opens the arm cannon, he's surprised to see a chip with Dr. Wily's symbol on it. The robot snaps awake showing that he was pretending to be knocked out. He swats Dr. Light away and says he's is Bass, Dr. Wily's strongest creation. Bass checks the computer to see what Light has been up to (we see the Rush ...

By Mark Rodriguez Like we mentioned before, our Youtube channel has the Video Game Masters show as the cornerstone, but we also do things like movie and comic reviews as well as occasionally mention news and updates related to gaming and other nerd-related hobbies. Here are the top ten most viewed videos as of 2026, excluding the VGM episodes since we already did a top ten on that. This gets pretty random, so let's check it out. 1- Mark Plays TMNT Legends- Out of the Shadows Mission  uploaded on Aug 31, 2016- 6,297 views   Mark tries to take on the Bay movie versions of Karai, Bebop and Rocksteady. Let's hope there aren't a lot of explosions. So this is the most viewed video on the entire channel, a playthrough of the BayTurtles movie sequel-themed stages on a phone app game. The most surprising thing is, a decade later the game is STILL alive. It stopped getting updates years ago, since it was based on the 2012 show which ended 2017, but it's still there. You can still...

 By Mark Rodriguez While our long-running Youtube channel has done several things including movie reviews, let's plays, comic book reviews and other stuff, the main theme was our Video Game Masters show where Johnny and I cover old and new videogames. Now we'll go over the top 10 most watched VGM episodes ever. I've did a top five back in 2018 so I'll compare how many views were added since then. Also keep in mind, we are still a relatively small channel doing this more for the fun than for 'trying to make it big' on Youtube. 1-  VGM Episode 38- The King of Fighters 2001, 2002 and 2003 In 2018-  1,646 views  In 2026-  2,330 views   uploaded on  Dec 12, 2012   While Mark and Paige are away, Angel will play as Johnny and Rakiarmas try to review KOF 2001, 2002 and 2003. Still one of my favorite episode, and I liked Johnny carrying an episode mostly by himself. Rakiarmas was a guest star and Angel was a voice-over, so Johnny was the main host this tim...

 By Mark Rodriguez In a previous adventure, April ended up in another dimension where she ran into Ace Duck and faced Indiana Jones-themed villains. Likewise we also found out that Mondo Gecko and Metalhead live together as roommates in the sewers. This issue brings up both threads as we check out what's up with Mondo Gecko and Metalhead as well as see that these villains are now on Earth and looking for April. Let's check it out.    "A Mondo Metal Time" opens in NYC's abandoned warehouse district where Major Ganz tells his geese underlings that they have been in this dimension for two months and have still not found the Heart of K'Avila. The heart can reveal how to accomplish any goal one desires, and Ganz is losing his patience. He asks his men on any updates for the week. Schwan says he has checked April's apartment again and has only found take out containers and a growing collection of yellow jumpsuits. Storch says April reports to work and visits th...

 By Mark Rodriguez This time around I got some stuff in the mail as I'm filling in the gaps of some comics that I somehow missed the first time around.  We also swung by Alpha Comics to grab the latest issue of TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures as we get one issue away from the end.   I'm trying to collect the issues from the Superman Electric Blue run from the late 90's. These three were shortly before, when Superman's powers were acting up which would lead into the transformation. Action Comics # 732- Superman faces off against the Atomic Skull. Superman The Man of Steel # 67- Superman continues to save the day as his powers start acting up. Adventures of Superman # 545-   Superman's new powers start to manifest. The Uncanny X-Men # 177- Wolverine takes center stage, which very rarely happened in the 80's. The Uncanny X-Men # 178- The X-Men face the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants! X-Men '97 # 4- The last issue of the four-issue mini-series which was a prel...

 By Mark Rodriguez Marvel Tokon Fighting Souls is the hottest new fighting game nowadays as it brings 4-on-4 tag action featuring  Captain America, Spider-Man, Wolverine, Doctor Doom, Magneto, Deadpool and others. It's a pretty awesome game, especially if you're on the PS5 since it seems PC users are having issues with the game working properly. We already had several comics based on Marvel Rivals, and now we're gonna get one based on Marvel Tokon. Let's check it out! "Cosmic Contender" opens with the flashback of a sole survivor of an alien invasion from a neighboring star system. While the invasion failed, it was at the cost of both civilizations with only the strong surviving. The one survivor was named Tryco Slatterus, but since that day he was known as The Champion. The Champion lost everything because his people were too weak. He vowed that no other planet would suffer like his did. He will train them and make them strong, whether they want to or not. ...
