The Afterlife Of Andy Kaufman
16 May 2013 8:12 PM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
Depending on whom you ask, Andy Kaufman either died on this day 29 years ago, or he pulled off one of history's greatest hoaxes. As evidence for the latter, they'll point to his career. Not the obvious one -- his "Taxi" gig or his quick-flaming stint on "Saturday Night Live" (which ended with the audience voting him off the show as part of a stunt he suggested, not thinking it would go that way). Even at the height of his mainstream success, Kaufman would tell any reporter who'd listen that all that flashy stuff was just to support his real work: his high-concept live act.
It's a long and sublimely silly list. Take the times Kaufman read The Great Gatsby aloud until the audience hissed and booed. "Would you rather listen to a tape?" he'd ask (they always said yes). But the tape simply turned out to be a recording of him reading The Great Gatsby. »

Review: Injustice: 'Gods Among Us' extremely engaging
9 May 2013 8:38 AM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
It's not often that I recommend our readers invest in a fighting game for the story. Today, I would like to recommend that our readers invest in a fighting game for the story. As a departure from games like "Dead or Alive" which segues fight scenes with terrible dialogue and a weak story, "Injustice: Gods Among" brings us our favorite characters from the DC Universe and puts them into a story worthy of any comic book fan's graces. We start off panning out on the rubble of The Daily Planet with 8 million people dead after a nuclear explosion in Metropolis. The Joker has ruined Superman's life (I will spare the details but I highly recommend reading the »

Bates Motel Ep 1.07: ‘The Man in Number 9′ is the best episode yet

Bates Motel Season 1, Episode 6 ‘The Man in Number 9’
Directed by Sj Clarkson
Written by Kerry Ehrin
Airs Monday nights at 10pm Et on A&E
How about we start with the stray dog. Lately, we’ve been getting more glimpses of Norman’s darker side and while watching Norman crouched down, hammer-in-hand and calling for the pup, I’m pretty sure most viewers were fearing for the dog’s life. It isn’t a big secret that the victims of serial killers are usually animals at first, but would the show be pushing Norman on the “textbook” serial killer course so early on? Story lines seem so quickly resolved in Bates Motel, and in what is already a short season, that possibility was left open. Thankfully Norman remains somewhat a sweet kid, even if confused most of the time, and alas all Norman wants to do is take care of the lost pup. »

6 Iconic Music Producers Due For A Comeback
27 April 2013 2:13 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
With Daft Punk’s Nile Rodgers and Pharrell collaboration, Get Lucky, on course to top music charts all over the world, I’ve been further exploring Rodger’s musical back-catalogue. To my shock, the Chic performer and producer’s musical output has become somewhat less prominent in recent years, despite producing some of the industry’s most iconic tracks and working with some of its biggest names.
This has got me thinking about several big name producers, who have sadly faded from prominence and are long overdue for a comeback. This is not really a critique on the current state of the music industry, as of course young producers keep things fresh and exciting – this is simply more of an exercise in nostalgia, looking at some of the iconic sounds and production styles that it would be wonderful to have back.

Movie Poster of the Week: “Those Wonderful Movie Cranks” and the Posters of Andrzej Krajewski
21 April 2013 6:27 AM, PDT | MUBI | See recent MUBI news »
Above: 1979 poster for Those Wonderful Movie Cranks (Jiri Menzel, Czechoslovakia, 1979).
I recently discovered the posters of Polish artist Andrzej Krajewski, or I should say that I recently discovered his best work. I had seen some of his work before (and had featured one terrific 1970 design on my Tumblr) but its cartoony style—reminiscent of, and possibly influenced by, the 1960s work of Push Pin Studio in New York—wasn’t really my thing. But I obviously wasn’t looking in the right places or at the right posters.
Around the same time I came across the London-based Polish poster webstore Eye Sea Posters which may not be the most comprehensive Polish poster site on the web (that would be this one) but is certainly the most elegantly designed. Set up by James Dyer two years ago, the site allows you to browse by artist as well as by genre or subject matter, »

The Valleys' Leteysha: Amy Childs looks like Pete Burns
17 April 2013 2:00 AM, PDT | Virgin Media - TV | See recent Virgin Media - TV news »
'The Valleys' star Leteysha Grace think Amy Childs ''looks like Pete Burns''. The cast members of the hit MTV reality show have blasted the former 'The Only Way Is Essex' beauty after she previously insulted the show, and Leteysha took particular aim at her extensive plastic surgery by comparing her to the 53-year-old Dead or Alive singer. Nicole Morris said: ''She was so mean about us. She said that we were like a cheaper version of 'Geordie Shore' or something. She's only 22 and, no offence, but have you seen all the surgery she's had?'' Leteysha added: ''She looks like Pete Burns. She »
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge Review: Ryu Refined
15 April 2013 2:18 PM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
When Ninja Gaiden 3 hit shelves last spring, I was one of the very few who really enjoyed the game. I appreciated the throwback to the first games in the series -- and I mean the true first games, from the Nes era. In those games, Ryu had one weapon, one ninpo spell, and one mission: to kill everything in his way.
But I was in the minority with my assessment of the game. Even though fans of the series agreed with me, both publicly and in private, Ninja Gaiden 3 was the game that critics loved to dump on and Team Ninja was listening.
When the Wii U was announced, Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja took the opportunity to create a new version of Ninja Gaiden 3, which they called Razor's Edge. They took all of the post-launch Dlc and integrated it into the game from the very start. They added new weapons, »

Dead or Alive 5 Plus Review: The Best Around
29 March 2013 9:22 AM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
I'm now truly convinced that Tecmo Koei's Team Ninja completely understands the Playstation Vita system. The powerful handheld has been on the market for just over a year, and Team Ninja has developed three games for it. Each game has been a meticulous port of a console game, and each game has been executed wonderfully. Dead or Alive 5 Plus is another spectacular homerun from Team Ninja and is arguably one of the best handheld fighters of all time.
What the Dead or Alive series has always done better than most is focus on the fighting, as opposed to gimmicky trick moves like throwing fireballs or stretching parts of the body across the entire screen to hit someone. DOA5+ continues that tradition, presenting a tight fighter that relies on the player's skill more than random luck.
The power tree of moves, or Triangle System, acts like rock/paper/scissors in the level of pain they unleash. »
Dead Or Alive 5 Plus Review
23 March 2013 12:43 PM, PDT | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Similar to their recent release of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus, Tecmo Koei once again is taking a previous title of theirs and re-releasing it on the Vita with some extra perks. Dead or Alive 5 Plus is their latest portable revamp, and the whole package offers various new modes. Not all of them are winners, but others offer a lot of substance for hardcore Dead or Alive fans looking to improve their skills.
I never got around to playing the console version of Dead or Alive 5, but upon doing some research, it doesn’t seem that any of its features were lost in the transition to Sony’s newest handheld. Both local ad-hoc and online multiplayer are available, as is the Mortal Kombat-esque story mode that sees players automatically switching between characters as fully animated and voiced cutscenes play out the game’s main story.
The story itself isn’t particularly deep or memorable, »

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus Review
4 March 2013 3:52 PM, PST | We Got This Covered | See recent We Got This Covered news »
Expert ninja Ryu Hayabusa, the star of the Ninja Gaiden franchise, may just be Tecmo Koei’s most iconic and long-running character. Originally debuting in arcades in 1988, Ryu sliced his way onto older systems like the Nes and Genesis, before receiving a 3D revival on the original Xbox, which has since had two direct sequels released on current-generation systems.
The first of those, Ninja Gaiden 2, originally made its debut on the Xbox 360 in 2008, and was followed by a 2009 PlayStation 3 port called Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2, which included numerous additions and enhancements. Now, the game has a second port of the portable variety with Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus for the Vita, and despite some issues with the graphical presentation, the core gameplay still provides a solid hack-and-slash experience.
The story has Ryu traversing numerous linear levels in an attempt to stop the evil Black Spider ninja clan from resurrecting an all-powerful demon from the underword. »

Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus Review: Carrying Forth Tradition
3 March 2013 6:38 PM, PST | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »
It was inevitable. A year after bringing the Ninja Gaiden Sigma series to the Ps Vita as a launch title, Tecmo Koei and Team Ninja have now ported the second game, aptly called Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus, to Sony's powerful handheld. While the first game was a masterful reproduction in almost every way (read our Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 Plus review), and included some "+" content that made the game seem fresh and exciting - even after eight years - Sigma 2 Plus's source game, 2008's Ninja Gaiden 2, hasn't been out of the public conscious long enough for nostalgia to set in. With that being said, can Sigma 2 Plus build on the greatness that was arguably one of the best launch games in the Ps Vita's lineup? In a word: yes.

Dead Or Alive: 4 Extremely Hedonistic Musicians
24 January 2013 8:58 AM, PST | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »
Pleasure-seeking is a sport that we all enjoy playing every now and again. Most of us have indulged in an all-day beer bender, seen the sun rise through an intoxicated gaze after the blur of a day spent off the wagon. Others have sky-dived, gone hand-gliding, surfed the crest a 10 foot wave on the Great Barrier Reef. Some have taken a motorcycle across Route 66, fired a gun in a desert wasteland, bored into the dead eyes of a Great White Shark from the confines of a steel cage.
These are the things that stick with us as we age, the moments when we felt truly alive when on the cusp of danger, when we broke the rules and went all out, our bodies caught in the thrill of the moment. But could we live like this 24/7? Could we put our minds and bodies at risk each waking moment of every day, »

Want To Hear Some Of The 'Mew-Genics' Soundtrack?
20 January 2013 12:02 PM, PST | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
What is Planet Ridiculon, and what are the strange sounds they're putting into Team Meat's mini-project, "Mew-Genics?"
In answer to the first question, that would be the duo of Matthias Bossi and John Evans, who are featured in the video below working on the music for Team Meat's mysterious, and allegedly very strange next project. As for the latter, we'll let the video speak for itself as Evans and Bossi put together some feline-inspired sounds (with a little bit of 20's/30's madcap music thrown in) for "Mew-Genics."

New Tutorial, Content Sharing Coming To 'Dead Or Alive 5+' On The Vita
20 January 2013 10:00 AM, PST | MTV Multiplayer | See recent MTV Multiplayer news »
We're still not completely sure why you'd want to cross-play a technical fighting game between a PS3 and a Vita, but a new training mode and tutorial seem like great additions to Team Ninja's upcoming port.
Headed to the Vita on March 19th in the U.S., "Dead or Alive 5+" will be getting some of the usual interesting/odd additions that console-to-handheld ports get nowadays. These include the requisite touch controls (which are completely optional), as part of a (still, completely optional) vertical first-person view. What was the last game to try the first-person fighting gimmick? "Breakdown?"
All this skepticism aside, some of the really cool stuff that might make this the version to pick up are a new tutorial mode. While the campaign was quite effective at pointing players to core moves and techniques, executing them in the story-based matches was wholly optional. A dedicated tutorial would be a »
