Once again Cracked.com turns to the fans for a “photoplasty” contest. This time they found 29 things that, even in a video game world, are hard to swallow. Sometimes, for the sake of the game, characters act a bit weird.

Bet they have to go to the same shoe store as the Rescue Heroes.
All of the controversy surrounding Michael Bay, a director not known for his martial arts work, being given the Ninja Turtles license, may or may not turn out justified. I’m not sure why Nickelodeon went with a co-producer who, as a director, adultified his last kids property (Transformers) when they’ve brought the show back to a younger audience. Above is the kids network’s version of the heroes in a half shell. Yes, the comic was and is intended for older audiences but that’s not where Nickelodeon took the show.
Still, does that mean it will be bad? Or will it be decent but a terrible translation of the franchise? The teaser below may not answer that, but it does give us some ideas.

Christian media has made some good roads in music and comics, embracing the fact that a little darkness doesn’t hurt the message but for some people and stories can actually help. It’s all about the needs of the stories. While “dark” doesn’t make a story better, it doesn’t make it un-Christian, either. Acculturated contributor R,J, Moeller makes the case that Christian movies may be playing it a bit too safe, thus preaching to the choir instead of getting the message of God’s love to the masses.

I sometimes think Disney and Google are competing to control the entertainment world. Disney recently acquired Maker Studios, a company that offers YouTube partnerships. Now, I don’t know how YouTube partnerships work. However, I kind of post videos for them (unless I end up part of the next round of cuts) as they acquired Blip not too long ago. That means Disney owns Blip and that means I post for Disney. And I still don’t get enough views to be paid.
This will probably not benefit me at all. What WILL change?
