Skywarp!

I always just thought we all need counseling.

^ The same closet that had Cybertron's two moons. Haha. Like Prowl's death. He died from being zapped once in the chest, by a shot from Scrapper, a lone Constructacon for crying out loud. At least let Soundwave kill him, or something.

I can pretty much ignore most animation errors in Transformers. It was the way of the land. But "Carnage in C-Minor" was absolutely ridiculous. Presumed dead Autobots fighting in Decepticon ranks, Ultra Magnus picking up two Constructacons who were the size of Rumble, and much more. I want to know what was going on at the animation studio that week.

Gamestop's policy of "trade 3 used games, and get a new one for $10!" makes my blood boil. If I give you 3 used games, there had better be no cash involved for getting that new one. Such bullshit.

Oh, I'm not blaming video games, at all. I'm just saying it's eerie. Here's some spine-shivering screenshots from the game. http://msgboard.snopes.com/cgi-bin/ultimat...43;t=000837;p=1

I like to think the movie is great until after Starscream's death scene. That's the last of the old guard dying on screen, and when it's the new TFs running around the galaxy, it goes downhill and goes fast. I guess it picks up again at the Unicron vs. Everyone scene.

For fucked up retro-gaming, see "Urban Strike," from 1994. In the New York level, a bomb goes off in the upper floors of the World Trade Center. Your mission is to heli-lift people off the crater in the side of the building (which looks eerily similar to 9/11). And yes, if you focus your firepower on monuments like the WTC, Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, you can destroy them. I actually looked it up on Gamefaqs, this is severely fucked up: The game is set in 2001. Here's a script for the New York level: NEW YORK [The Super Weapon is shown powering up, then shooting a laser off a satellite and hitting the World Trade Center] [briefing] General: Malone has changed his tactics. General: He is using a full force air strike and attacking civillian targets in New York City. General: This has caused widespread panic on the ground. Fleeing civilians have pinned down our ground troops. General: We need you to airlift in there and take out the Malone Building command center. General: Civilians are trapped in upper stories of burning skyscrapers. His troops are keeping rescue away. General: Take out as many of the enemy aircraft as you can find. This will slow the attack. General: Then figure out what you can do to rescue those civilians & move them to a secure area. Special info... General: Just arrived states that the NAFTA leaders are meeting in the World Trade Center which has been in... General: The center of this confusion. We believe they are being held hostage. General: Be on your toes. Good luck. 5. Trade Center Time bomb in WTC C4 plastique explosives 5. Disarm the time bomb in the World Trade Center. Land on the pad next to the buildings and send your copilot inside to cut the correct wire. Mission Failure: WTC-- General: The idea was to save the World Trade Center! Don't get so wired next time.

^ I could be hearing it wrong, but isn't it Spike that curses?

^ The MPAA must not care about robot deaths. The whole planet of Lithone got eaten in the beginning, and we see two robots get digested in Unicron's acid pit near the end, and yet it still gets a PG rating. And the deaths were brutal. Having fire come out of Prowl's face, and about 10 holes blown all over the chests of Ironhide and Rachet was jaw droppingly violent for a kid's movie. And then Ironhide got shot in the head at point blank range with a bazooka, although it was offscreen. And Wheeljack and Windcharger made unceremonious exits--we don't know what happened to them although we see their dead bodies with gaping chest wounds. But yes, the movie rules all and sucks hard all in one package. I didn't think one film could ever do that, but here it is.

And with that, I think we can make our poster.

IGN is really the only place I still look, at this point. EGM's reviews, for example, are a paragraph long. You can't make an agrument for a game in one paragraph, even if 4 people are doing it back to back.

The track listing for "Make Believe": 1. Beverly Hills 2. Perfect Situation 3. This Is Such A Pity 4. Hold Me 5. Peace 6. We Are All On Drugs 7. The Damage In Your Heart 8. Pardon Me 9. My Best Friend 10. The Other Way 11. Freak Me Out 12. Haunt You Everyday I'll buy it, but I hope my opinion at the end of the day isn't "They should have named the album after the third track."

How did Hitler tie his shoes? In little Knotsies! (I'll jump on the bad taste Mexican jokes wagon as well...) Why do Mexicans fold up the brims of their hats? So they have a place to put their tacos while they piss. What do you call two Mexicans playing basketball? Juan on Juan.

I don't know. It's 11 years later and it still sounds a lot more fresh to my ears than anything else from the period. It stands the test of time and I think it is solid front to back. Well, ok..."Undone" is a little boring to me. But the rest is quality.

The Presidents of the United States of America - "Peaches" just for the ninja fight. That video Kotz posted of the aerobics class. Cindi Lauper - "Good Enough" Parts 1 and 2. Devo - "Peek-A-Boo!" Demonic heads laugh at Devo. (If anyone can find a link to this video, I will love you forever.)

Look at the way it's poised to hold it for you. I don't need this thing holding it for me.

Someone should tell that guy that "America" is pronounced with a short i in the middle, not a short a.

No, I've been coming back at least once a day. The music is now burned in my brain.

What do you give to a sick bird? Tweetment. What's the difference between a basketball player and an astronaut? The basketball player gets athlete's foot and the astronaut gets missle toe. What do you call a cow with no legs? Ground beef. What kind of bees make milk? Boo bees.

True. This episode was one of the best in a while. Unfortunately, most of the time the show, as one critic put it, is "frustratingly uneven". I think that comes with writing episodes in a matter of days, but then they'd never get so much timely stuff in it.

Now that I think about it, I actually can contribute to this. I bought Limp Bizkit's "3 Dollar Bill, Yall$" Soulfly's self-titled, The Ernie's "Meson Ray" and Hed (P.E.)'s self-titled without ever hearing a song. They all went in and out of rotation quickly. However, when I got "Supermercado!" by 2 Skinnee J's, they eventually became one of my favorite bands.
