Morning Article Link: 2008’s Sins Of Gaming

Grand Theft Auto IV

Grand Theft Auto IV (Photo credit: PseudoGil)

Any article that want to take a shot (no pun intended) at Grand Theft Auto is fine with me, even if it’s a fan. This article by Cracked contributor David Wong came out in 2008. So each of the “7 Commandments All Video Games Should Obey” has each thing gaming did wrong on each page, and actually a lot of subsections. There’s a lot more reading that I expected but it’s still fascinating for a gamer and possibly a must-read for a game creator. Ask yourself if the gaming industry today is still breaking these commandments and if they’re better or worse in 2014 (or whatever year you’re reading this) than they did in 2008.

Jake & Leon #196: Even Villains Have Standards

I miss "Dave The Barbarian".

I miss “Dave The Barbarian”.

I follow one version of Dark Helmet on Twitter as well as a General Zod and they usually talk about a villain support group. I thought what limits do they have? Besides Bigfoot trying to join. If you don’t know who Chuckles is:

 

I miss this show.

  • The Clutter Reports: Not having time to do any cleaning this week I ported over my look at the first Marvel/Drakes snack cake team-up.
  • Reviewers Unknown: If you missed it here at the Spotlight yesterday, BW Panelling brought us a panel with Doctor Who cosplayers answering the questions we all wanted to ask.

Best Scene Of This Week’s Reviews

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Utrom Empire #2

Go Dr. Honeycutt!

Go Dr. Honeycutt!

There are only three new comics this week so the rest of the week will put us back into the longbox for the early issues of Cartoon Network Action Pack, which had a few stories per issue before the ones I’ve reviewed here at the Spotlight. Enjoy

BW Panelling: Doctor Who + A

Do you remember this picture?

All the Doctors they could find.

All the Doctors they could find.

That’s from a panel I’ve been wanting to show you guys since it posted. So I made it the first BW Panelling I was able to work on. This is from a panel called “Doctor Who + A: Is There A Doctor In The House”, hosted by Karl “Uncle Yo” Custer and Charles Dunbar. Gathering together some Doctor Who cosplayers around the 2013 ConnectiCon, with Dunbar standing in for the 7th Doctor, they let the fans ask any question of the Doctors, Rose Tyler, and Captain Jack they could think of. I also got to solve one major riddle that fellow Friday Night Fighter Brian Snell would like to have confirmation of. Enjoy.

Friday Night PRIZE Fights: Make This Canon, New 52!

I’m surprised I haven’t used this yet, but my records say I haven’t so here we go.

Superman Adventures, the tie-in to the DCAU series, features some of my favorite Superman stories. Issue #41 is one my favorites of the title, featuring 22 one-page stories featuring Superman, his friends, and his not-so-friends. They’re fun to read. This tournament I had not one, but TWO winning entries, a first for the Spotlight! So I needed to at least give some extra effort and I think this qualifies.
