For those of you who keep close track of the anime industry, you’ll know that there seems to be a bit of a panic afoot, especially after the recent withdrawal from the North American market of Geneon, a home distribution powerhouse with several of the genre’s most popular titles under it’s wing. This was after a deal fell through that would have seen Geneon syncing up with fellow powerhouse ADV Films for distribution of their content. This has sent several into a frenzy, trying to figure out the root of the issue, and some may have found a scapegoat: fansubbing.

It seems that, when it comes to foodstuffs, the second I latch onto a snack food that I like means the instant doom of the product brand. There have been several goods that I’ve liked that have vanished into thin air, and while I know it’s the nature of economics and marketing, that still doesn’t mean that I can’t enjoy reminiscing about various foods that have long gone asunder. Read more after the jump.
Welcome back to the stage of history. It’s Monday, October 22nd and it’s funny how time flies. I can’t believe it’s Monday again! What happened to the rest of last week? Did it fall down an invisible hole? Is it hiding in your closet? Did it get misplaced in the fridge behind what you think is guacamole (it really isn’t)?
Who knows!
In the end, we can only soldier on. My advice to you is to be a "do be", and don’t smoke doobies because you could fail a drug test and not get a job! Lord knows you need to get out the house, especially right now, because HE’S RIGHT BEHIND YOU.
Monday Mash-Up coming up.

DISCLAIMER: The following rant for and sometimes against comic books (and for one time only, anything else that doesn’t involve comics) has been rated MA for Mature Audiences only.

Imagine that you are attacked by pirates and ninjas at the same time! There is no gas in your chainsaw, and you’re all out of shotgun shells- what do you do? You hop in your DeLorean, head back in time, and wipe out the pirates and the ninjas before they can come to power! A job well done, right? NO! You’ve returned to the present and… what’s this on the horizon?!
PSYCHOTIC PAPER CUTTING HIPPIES!
I’m Brick Prior and this has been my mission for the past three days. If I don’t survive, I’m going to need you to take up my sword and shield… but who, you ask, is worthy?
No one!
I will survive, in fact, I have because I’m currently writing this right now! It’s good timing too, because this is a special Mid-Week Comics Mash-Up!

The act of being a snobbish, elite game collector often requires one to reach outside of his or her boundaries in hopes of snagging that precious jem to which no mortal has bore witness. For most of us, that mysterious realm is Japan. For decades, what we did and did not play was largely decided on by what a few men in suits felt a totally foreign culture was more likely to buy. Sometimes, a game just did not sell well enough in Japan to warrant sending over to us. Some were deemed "too difficult" for the average ADHD-stricken American. Whatever the reason, there’s a gold mine of pearls for the pretentious to be had from the land of the rising sun, and you know Retro Obscurus has to go there.
Today’s game comes back at us from the east like a boomerang with big hair. Say hello to Holy Diver.

I told you not to eat that radioactive bacon, but you didn’t listen to me! Now, in times of duress, you secrete super-powered bacon fat that has the ability to slide down the street really, really fast! I’d tell you how to use your powers, but- crap! I just got shot by a robber in an alley after going to the movies! Why am I yelling at you, you ask?! Because it’s time for the Comics Rant, that’s why!

Woo woo woo, I’ve got some apples. Woo woo woo, you’ve got some too. Hello there. It’s Monday, and I feel like someone drugged my pillow- either that, or someone jammed a small child up my nose while I was sleeping. Someone also took my kidneys and lungs out and made me sleep on them; they feel smooshed.
Anyway, fictional ailments aside, it’s Monday. Since it’s the first, October’s just begun, which means that I’m that much closer to getting trampled in a haunted forest for the second year in a row. It’s not my fault that I like to laugh at the people running at folks with chainsaws, and it’s not my fault that you like to scream and try and push me forward when all I want to do is enjoy the screams surrounding environment!
…it feels like home.
So, yes- I’m excited about October, but you know what else I’m excited for?
Monday Mash-Up!
