Prevalence of Penis in American Cinema
Over the last few years, I have noticed a very disturbing trend in American cinema regarding the wanton display of full frontal male nudity. It has become more and more acceptable for filmmakers to show the penis in film today with no warning or consideration. Now, some people may argue, “Chris, there has been full frontal female nudity in film before. Why is this such an issue?” I&...[Read More]
Saturday Morning Watchmen
Remember the good old days of your childhood when you would wake up at the crack of dawn on Saturday mornings to catch your favorite cartoons? All of our favorite heroes were there waiting to save the day and entertain us. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would skate in, pizza in hand, and beat the Foot Clan down! The X-Men would rush in and defeat some Sentinels! The Pirates of Darkwater woul...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 7
Progress update 7 brings me back to the Kitchen Observatory, where I re-entered the Beach Bowl Galaxy for the second star. This star was incredibly simple. It consisted only of tracking down a golden shell in the posession of a small penguin and returning it to the head penguin. It took all of two minutes from start to finish. The third star had you transport yourself from the water world to t...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 6
The sixth progress update finds me just outside the Kitchen Observatory, where I have unlocked another special one-star galaxy called the Drip Drop Galaxy. This galaxy is a water world with a pair of small safe islands for resting, if necessary. In this world, you are told that holding a red or green shell while underwater dramatically increases your swimming speed. In fact, it makes you outpac...[Read More]
Fish sticks?
Most people have heard about the recent South Park episode that makes fun of Kanye West’s ego by means of a childish joke. We watched it via http://www.southparkstudios.com/ (Where the creators have put up every South Park episode for free viewing) a few days ago, and enjoyed it a great deal. Kanye West’s ego was heavily put in check. He was the only person in the world who didnR...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 5
We have arrived at the fifth progress update of my run through Super Mario Galaxy! This one is rather shorter than the previous progress updates as I only went through a few stars due to other plans. At the end of the fourth progress update, I had yet to fight Bowser in the Fountain Observatory galaxies. Last night, I made that my first goal. It was an interesting battle, but didn’t cont...[Read More]
Year 1 Episode 15 Recap
Coming into our 15th episode (holy cow, that went quickly), we were a bit rushed. We had taken a nap, and woke up with just enough time to start doing our show notes and get our equipment set up. We were still working on the tail end of our show notes as we started the show! We had a great time with this episode. After having lighter content episodes for the past few weeks, resulting in shorte...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 4
Shortly after we wrapped up episode 15 of the MehCast, I fired up the Wii and got into a new set of Super Mario Galaxy adventures. I mentioned the Prankster Comets in my third progress update, and I have some more details now due to experiencing two more last night. I gained another star from the Terrace Observatory via the Good Egg Galaxy using a Speedy Comet, as well as completing the Fountain...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 3
In my third progress update, we continue on our path of conquering the Fountain Observatory galaxies, having completely conquered the Terrace Observatory galaxies by the second progress update. Currently, I stand at 17 stars and over 1,000 star bits. I have completed the Space Junk galaxy, and when next I play, I will be challenging the Battlerock galaxy. I beat the special Rolling Green galaxy...[Read More]
Super Mario Galaxy Progress Update 2
Last night, in between watching the Food Network, Scrubs, DVR’d episodes of WCG Ultimate Gamer, and the season premiere of Dinner: Impossible, I found time to squeeze in some more Super Mario Galaxy. I’ve completed the first set of Galaxies completely (both of the full three-star galaxies, all three special one-star galaxies, and the Bowser, Jr. boss galaxy), and have started in on th...[Read More]
WCG Ultimate Gamer
Lindsey and I were up very late a few nights ago, and we noticed something on the Sci-Fi channel called “WCG Ultimate Gamer”. Both of us being avid gamers, this piqued our curiosity, and we switched over. What we saw was a re-run of the first episode of WCG Ultimate Gamer, a “reality” competition show with video game challenges. It’s a very interesting show, and th...[Read More]
