100 posts!! Thanks for reading!!

By Mark Rodriguez

Wow, 100 posts already! Since I've been trying hard to crank out new stuff everyday, that's almost 100 days of thoughts and reviews! I do notice there have been people reading the articles and I really appreciate it you guys. Here's to another 100 posts! I'd like to take these milestones as moments to reflect on any news, updates, and other things on my mind on this particular day.

As for my current thoughts and opinions of the moment, I have several, especially since we have a lot of news and updates in the world of fighting games and such.

Terry Bogard- This might be his year. Not only will he cameo in Fighting Layer EX as a guest character, he'll also appear in SNK Gals Tag Team Frenzy, but transformed into a girl, with not even Terry knowing how it happened!

I also dyed my ponytail blonde to cosplay as Terry (the OG male version) at the upcoming Shine Con Las Vegas.

Evo announcements- Other than the Bogard announcement, base form Goku and Vegeta have been announced for Dragonball Fighter Z, Cooler is also announced! And that is just plain cool! G and Sagat were announced for SF5 and released the very next day! And the most unexpected thing was NEGAN from The Walking Dead is going to appear in Tekken 7! Lucille is gonna get fed!

Goodbye Toys R Us- The store where I first got my classic NES, and where I kept up with my TMNT collection over the years. It finally closed, though the website does say something to the effect of 'stay tuned til the next chapter'. It's a piece of my childhood, as it is for many others, and I never did to buy one of those 'I'm a Toys R Us Kid' shirts. The last thing I ever bought from there were Toys R Us exclusive Ryu and Ken Funko Pops in fighting poses. A friend of mine revealed that Toys R Us is still active in Korea though....



In similar news, Alaska is finally closing down the last existing Blockbuster Video Stores that they have been keeping open for years despite them being gone everywhere else.

Nerd Block has still not announced its full return. They promised a day with updates but nothing new was announced.

VGM- Episode 87 just hit Youtube as I reviewed Pit-Fighter. Last episode before I dyed my hair. The first video to show it off is my July 2018 Lootcrate Unboxing video over at The Unboxing Zone channel.



Las Vegas- As for me, I am mere days away from flying out to Las Vegas to meet up with my bro as well as the rest of the gang like PikaChika, Lan Moore and WickaDarco. This'll be fun and I can't wait!

That's it for now guys, but thanks for coming back to check up on new posts everyday. More stories are coming as I'll be covering the first Megaman and Sonic crossover from Archie comics!

Dragonball- It's time to go beyond Z or end it

 By Mark Rodriguez So while the Dragonball Super anime has ended for a few years now, and the Dragonball Super Broly movie is over a year old as well, the Dragonball Super manga has actually continued past the Tournament of Power and  Super Broly movie. As this new arc, nicknamed the Moro Arc after its main villain is coming to a close, the question is where do they do from here? Also before you get into this article, I really hope you know your DBZ because there are just waaaaaay too many characters to take the time out to explain who everyone is one by one. Dragonball and Dragonball Z is one of the longest running anime and manga series since the 80's and while it seemed it was put to pasture after Dragonball GT ended in 1997, the only thing left was for the American dubs to catch up. Despite this the love and nostalgia for the series lived on with videogames and the occasional special here and there that would bring back the characters (like the Yo, Son Goku and his Friends Retu

Arachna# 1 Review *Spoilers*

 By Mark Rodriguez Here's another awesome comic from independent artists that opened up an Indiegogo to get it started. I usually don't chip in unless it looks real good, like you just know they're gonna hit their goal. Arachna, a sexy superheroine with a split personality and an amazing art syle, sure looked like a good pick for me.  With lots of clever marketing in advance, even getting a person to dress as Arachna herself to bring the character to life, they hit their goal the same day they actually opened the Indiegogo for donations. I chipped in for the comic and the shirt, and here is my review on the latest superheroine that's bringing sexy back to comics, Arachna! Also note, while I'll try to keep my language as tame as I can, this book deals with way more adult stuff than I usually discuss on this blog. The Adventure Begins The issue opens with Jennie lying in bed naked in her apartment, a noticeable pile of sketches lying on the floor. She awakens to a voi

Five Nights at Freddy's- How FNAF 2 Complicated the Lore

By Mark Rodriguez Five Nights at Freddy's.... a game series that started out by being a security guard trying to survive 5 nights at a pizzeria full of haunted animatronics that spawned lots of sequels. Now the latest one is looking like it's going to be about some of the animatronics actually trying to keep you safe from a serial killer that might have been brainwashed by a possessed VR game. What the hell? FNAF.... how it started and where it's going......  Here's a quick trip down memory lane over just how simple the story of FNAF seemed to be in the first game, and how the second game started the long path of the huge mess that we have now. Now when the first game came out back in 2014, creator Scott Cawthon had no way of knowing it would be a smash hit with lots of sequels. In fact, it was a bit of a last desperate attempt to make it in the gaming business. It's hard to believe nowadays, but had FNAF failed, Scott would have given up working on video games and
