Super Mario Marathon 2

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 4:23 PM

I was the first person to email them last year during their first 10 minutes. Am i cool yet?
YES, Yes i am.
Last year the Mario Marathon team raked up $12,000 of donations to the Child's Play charity.
But this year..... This year they went hella organized and raked up over $27,000 and have gotten thrice the amount of viewers. Pretty impressive. But not really since watching this was very very delightful. I hope they get a Couch Dog cam next year. Its not really done yet, but i'm not going to wait on them to finish so i can write this.


HAIL ARCEUS! HAIL MECHA!

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 8:36 AM

I know i'm a little late to jump on the train, but i just finished Gurren Lagann.
I've never watched an anime quite like this that was able to make me feel a positive emotion.
I mean, its like Courage Wolf was spawned inside me, and thus made me feel like Captain Falcon for those moments of watching. "ITS LIEK I'M RLY BADASS!". Now i officially like the Mecha genre. I liked G-Gundam a whole lot, but then SEED made me hate Mecha. But its okay now.
Code Geass was ok too. I was bored shitless from it, but i tuned into the last 5 episodes and shat myself from it having an amazing ending. Now i'm watching the series from the beginning since i understand wtf is going on now.
Anywho..
I'm also alittle late to know that Billy Mays has died a couple days after MJ & FF.
Its sad really. Because i wouldn't have known the awesome that is mighty putty.

In other MORE pleasant news, it has been confirmed that Mewtwo will be in Heart Gold/Soul Silver! I don't really give a damn about the Latios and Latias news. They're pointless to the Pokemon lore..

..Speaking of lore, join my new Arceus cult!
http://hail-arceus.blogspot.com/
or myspace groups
http://groups.myspace.com/CHURCHovARCEUS

I made up the whole "Genesis" story on that page with using factual Pokemon lore.
(I'm practicing my writing skills.)
Latios and Latias were so worthless. No need to include them in the chart or story.
Lugia clones. lul, I drew that!^^^ Theres soo much symbolism in it, that its deeper than the Da Vinci Code.
The Arceus Sigil i made is just as hardcore.

I'm watching the Mario Marathon 2 right now.
I'll write about it when it ends. Shits addictive and awesome.

Grilled Chicken Warz

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 6:26 AM


Fast Food notes;

El Pollo Loco > Kentucky Grilled Chicken
Not sure how the hell EPL keeps such low prices for the taste and hasn't been
bankrupt yet. I'm guessing they buy out all the leftover chicken hordes after the "Big 3" take
first dibs on the fresh chicken. Now Kentucky Grilled Chicken.. It tastes like the original KFC fried chicken recipe. Great right? Well no, the fried chicken is nice and oily with lots of juicy fats. The Kentucky Grilled Chicken is almost as dry as my dad's pork chops. Pretty much a block of eatable seasoning. They weren't kidding when the ad said "It falls right off the bone". IT REALLY DOES! Sounds like a block of ice when it hits your plate. Not too flattering. Even i can make better chicken, probably anyone who does not know how to cook. Now for those who MIGHT go off to El Pollo Loco to fuel their souls, i recommend to do the following;

1. Prepare some jasmine rice (Have it cook 30 minutes prior to leaving).
2. Go off to the Crazy Chicken and order some Mac and Cheese as a side with your chicken.
3. Get home, get a bowl, put in the rice and soy sauce
(WHITE PEOPLE, DON'T ABUSE THE AMOUNT OF SOY SAUCE)
4. Pour about 1/3rd the amount of Mac and Cheese on your rice as the amount of rice you have in the bowl.
(If you have 2 cups of cooked rice in the bowl, then 1 cup of M&C is what you're aiming for)

5. Gently mash together. (Only just slightly Mixing it)
6. Eat with your crazy chickens.


You know whats really fun? If you replace the chicken with Fried Chicken and use the skin to wrap around the rice.
BUT! -El Pollo Loco's Mac & cheese complements the rice farrrr better than the Neclear Orange stuff you get at KFC. Most of you Asians probably already do this. I just laugh at the fools who think it sounds disgusting. But guess what? People think the idea of cheese is gross.
If you're really a ambitious eater, how about going to both places?!

Ps. If you want to push it to the extreme, throw in a sunnyside up egg and a hashbrown and mix it along with the 3000 calorie bowl of wet dreams. I've done this about 10 times in my lifetime. Its sooo amazing.

San Diego Comic-Con 09

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 10:22 PM


ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN!
The only 4 days of the year where i leave my room!
Comic-Con is coming... Again..
I've been going every year since 1999 due to the convention center being in my backyard. Its like everybody came to my birthday or something. Which also explains all the free goodies. Last time i blew off $300 on-you guessed it, Anime and Video games. Which is fine because its very seldom that i get to blow of my parent's money like a madman (Which i'm very thankful for). But this year it'll come out of my pocket (maybe). The very pocket that I've been on other Comic-Con adventures with. But this year will be different. This year i'm mostly in pursuit of the hot nippon lady action.
Bitches don't know about my
Gen Lai Sen
.


1. Find hot girl
2. Feed her the best Chinese food in California
3. ????
4. Profit!
Gen Lai Sen is a family owned restaurant with the charm of looking like a hole in the wall with the typical indoor/street vendor type feeling of China. I've been going here for years and I've got to say, those rundown 17 year old carpets make the experience 100% more authentic, thus Super Powering your date with whomever you choose. But be warned! Don't buy take out unless its necessary.
Buying indoors= 1.5 times the amount of extra food (THAT YOU CAN DOGGY BAG). ITS WORTH IT!. If you ever do consider this awesome award winning sweat house of child labor- with it's own parking lot, then try out the Beef Noodle and Pork Fried rice. SHIT IS SO BOMB. Stay close to these main stream dishes, i'd say they've had alot more practice with those dishes than anything else. And the Veggie Fried rice is even better than the pork. (Weird isn't it?) And that's not even the awesome part. The awesome part is you eating there after leaving Comic-Con. Its just a few blocks away. Small yellow building that looks wayyyyy out of place from the City College and skyscraper apartment complex across from it.

Now back to Comic-Con.
Heres my wish-list for this year;
1. Miku Hatsune Wall Mount PVC figure (as seen above)
83.66 USD -(thats actually really fucking good for the price)
2. Gurren Lagann limited edition Boxset.
60 USD
3. Tsukasa Hiiragi figure (seen on the right)
40 USD
4. G-Gundam Boxes 1 & 2
100 USD
5. Belphegor shirt
15 USD
^Those are just things that i want but wont guarantee it's purchase. If i do happen to get all of the above
($298) then theres a 80% chance that i would want to buy anything that suddenly comes up.
Like.. a bargan on Generation 1 Pokemon boosters, or Posters of awesome, etc etc. Maybe i can finally get that FLCL ultemate collection. Perhaps even the Disgaea art books.

TRANSFORMERS REVENGE OF THE FALLEN review

Posted by Randy Kasugano at 2:44 PM




This movie is a hit or miss depending on how much you listened+how much you already know about the Transformers universe.
1. The story (Lets go over it first);

The Fallen is one of the original Primes scattered throughout the galaxy looking for planets where they could build Sun Harvesters. These massive machines harvest energon by destroying stars, the vital energy of Transformers . The Dynasty of the Primes had one rule: Sun Harvesters were not to be built in systems which contain life.

The Fallen, choosing to ignore this rule and, due to a deep hatred of humanity and thurst for power, arrived on Earth in 17,000 BC and started building a new Sun Harvester with other like-minded Cybertronians while killing off any human that got close enough to the structure. The other Primes learned of his betrayal and prevented the activation of the Harvester by hiding the Matrix of Leadership, although they were unable to kill the Fallen and instead sealed him away. In the present day, the Fallen revealed to the revived Megatron that the Allspark's power is flowing through Sam (because the stupid idoit kept a shard of what everybody wants), and that Sam is the key to finding another source of energon (The Matrix of leadership).

Thus robot gore and Megan Fox ass for 2 hours.


Primes- Its like a bloodline of awesome and also a title to those who are badass.
Energon-Its why Autobots Vs Decepticons exist. Decepticons need energon to overpower shit. The Allspark from Movie 1 was an infinite source of energon.
Matrix of Leadership- Every Prime passes this organ to the next Prime to succeed him. This "Organ" is a source of hardcore energon, thus only trusted to a Prime.

The Fallen- Not to be confused with the A7x album, But the Fallen is a stupid prick that needs the Triforce Matrix of leadership to activate the Energon harvester.

2. The Review;
Its either the biggest/greatest action film ever made.. OR.. Its incoherent nonsense that's fucking hard on the eyes.

Many critics slammed this baby hard. Mostly because... 'It didn't make sense'.
If there was a flaw like 'The back of the Smithsonian Air museum being a dirt lot' -fine, that's actually funny. BUT... Making sense out of the script is another story.
I don't blame those critics for having such a hard time keeping track of Optimus Prime ripping out Decepticon spines while trying to listen to the story.. Brains of the elderly are more at risk since almost all of their Braincells/receptors are already dead.
Perhaps most of us younger people can make out the action just fine and also well enough to decipher the guttering voice work that is Megatron.
Maybe we just grew up with better hand-eye coordination with the advances in videogames and Anime. Yeah that's it.
Moving on..
This movie was being written during the 2007 writer's strike, so yes, this movie could have been alot more than the written synopsis above. Perhaps we could have seen more of the Autobots. I mean, I know that Ratchet is a medic.. But he only spoke 1 line since the first movie.
The only characters that had character was the Witwickeys and Optimus Prime. Both of which had only 30 minutes of screen time. (Optimus had the best 30 minutes in the whole movie).
other than that being a problem... I have no other problems. The animations were coherent. Alot of the bots look the same, But i know who's who from looking at their exterior parts like shoulder pads etc. And that last war in the film? Alot of Decepticon pawns were in their Cybertrionian skeletons. So i knew they didn't matter besides being in the fight. And the side with the autobots are literally on the side the US.Army would be. In fact, this was the most confusing of parts for people. But really all you needed to know is that the format was that of a First Person Shooter. The direction you face, is where the Decepticons are at. And anyone's backs you see are the Autobots. So damn easy!
Now the first movie's fight scenes were incoherent. They were ALL OVER THE PLACE.
But now its a side vs side thing.

Pros-
-Megan Fox
-Robot Gore for 2 hours straight
-Goes deeper into the Transformers' Lore
-The Constructicons turning into The Devastator
-Being devastated at what happened at the forest scene (manly tears)
-Being fucking happy at what happened at the final battle when Prime fucking went hardcore mode like in the cartoons.
::::SPOILERS IT LOOKED SOMETHING LIKE THIS::::::



Cons-
-Megan Fox
-When the robot gore stopped for 2 minutes
-Not meeting the Constructicons (They were only in vehicle mode)
-The Fallen doesn't look like the Fallen..
(But at least he looks hella prehistoric.)

TRANSFORMERS 3
-All we know is that Unicron will be the planet Nibiru that's gonna fuck shit up for 2012.
A Unicron movie means Megatron evolves into Galvatron. And Prime turns into
'Galaxy Omega Tengen Toppa Super Sayan Hypermode Megazord Gundam Volt-xephon Gurren Lagann Prime'
-So he can fight Unicron. I'm thinking he'll look alittle something like this;


Final thoughts-
-This movie is long because it doesn't take 1 head shot to kill a giant robot. 3 1/2 stars for action alone.
-And yes, I'm aware that i used a TF1 picture.

Good bye North Korea

Meet your new daddy.
Oh you silly Nippon, You've done it again! Japan has a bid on the 2016 summer Olympics. And they need votes n shit from the International Olympic Committee by showing off everything they've got.. Not like they'll win by the vote. If Japan's efforts fail in making their docile actions please some votes, then they've got a life size 59 foot Gundam to win the bid with superior firepower (along with celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Gundam franchise). They've just finished construction on a RX78-2 Gundam (Basic, easy to make and oldschool) and its just sitting there in middle of Shiokaze Park at Tokyo's man-made Odaiba Island -ready to make the Olympic committee to piss their pants. Don't fuck with Japan.
So far the entries for the 2016 Olympics are..
1. Chicago (durr) for some stupid ass reason.
2. Madrid (Spain) Has fuck win culture
3. Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) Has A huge statue of Jesus
4. Tokyo (hurr) Anime babes n shit

Honesty..
The weeaboo inside me wants Tokyo to win this one. THEY'VE GOT THEM ANIMUS, LOLI GOTH MAIDS AND THEIR OWN HITOMI TANAKA!
I could imagine their opening cerimony having Samurai bullshit and then to top it off, you have a Pikachu powered Gurren Lagann fighting Godzilla.
ANYWHO
If the Gundam fails to attract... Japan has another secret weapon up their sleeve...
Meet Tetsujin28-
Aka: Gigantor. He was birthed on October 20th 1963. And now hes a 60 foot statue! After 46 years the big guy is finally going to the big screen.



At 0:55-1:00 hes doing a Falcon Punch
I've seen Gigantor on Adult Swim a bunch of times. But i had no idea that he was blue.


Final thoughts-
It would have made more sense for Japan to make the Shining Gundam as it represented Japan in a world fight during the 1994 G-Gundam series
