Web Wednesday.

For the third entry in my UK Internet Entertainer series. we have a man who reviews technology and tat. In case you were wondering he isn't completely responsible for me naming my Tuesday posts "Tat Tuesday" but I would be lying if I said he wasn't partly to blame. It may seem odd for a person to review technology and other bits of unnecessary crap, but it makes perfect sense. When you review a movie you are limited to visuals, audio, and the story. With a physical item you have a few more senses that can be assaulted. You also have something that you can assault right back. If you take all of that into account you may start to grasp the amount of entertainment that Ashens can deliver.

Tat Tuesday.

I started High School in the second half of 1997. Which was the same year that the Digimon virtual pet was released. I was given one as a gift from a relative who worked for a toy store. I got it before it was supposed to be released. This was during the virtual pet boom. You had Tamagotchi, Dogz  on PCs, and of course Pokemon. Eventually I got a Gameboy Color and Pokemon Red and Blue, but before that Digimon was the thing. I still have a place in my heart for that little piece of plastic. Which is why we're going to take a look back at it.
 

Media Monday.

This week I'll be looking at episode 51-55 of G.I.Joe, which is the end of the first season. We have everything from Rock Music, to Cossacks, to a Hammer Horror style episode, and what I consider to be best episode of G.I.Joe I have seen yet. But before we get to that I just want to say that I will be taking next Monday off so that I can get a jump on Season 2. Now that that is out of the way let's get to the main event.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

I am really looking forward to doing this post. Today I get to talk about a man who works in my favorite medium. I am an unabashed Comic Book fan. I don't refer to myself as a Nerd nor do I call comics Graphic Novels. Which means that I do not fall into the "Nerd" or "Hipster" categories. I just like to read comics. I love to read comics. I am a comic book fan. One of my favorites writers in the genre is Robert Kirkman. He is the Awesome Fat Guy of The Week.

Damn!! Thursday.

I've been having a problem with these Damn!! posts. Sometimes I can't decide whether the stories posted here should be funny, terrifying, disgusting, disturbing, or thought provoking. I usual try to fit one story per category. The issue being that a lot of these come from the same website. I have been trying to diversify the sources and as such these post may move to a twice monthly schedule. I am not sure if that will happen or not. It's a possibility. Anyway let's get to the usual mix of shit. Also if you wouldn't mind, do me a favor and click one of those adds. I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Web Wednesday.

Last week I spoke about Film Brain, who happens to be English. That got me thinking. A lot of the Web Entertainers I watch are from the UK. So consider that the theme for next few Web Wednesday posts. Today's subject is Welshy. He is, as I'm sure you already guessed, Welsh. He is also one of the few reviewers who specializes in positive reviews. But don't let mislead you he is just as sharp and snarky as you'd expect. Let's take a closer look.

Media Monday.

The more G.I.Joe I watch the more I love this show. It is full of nonsense but the wonderful kind of nonsense. This week is no different. Let's see what episodes 46 through 50 have in store for us.

Web Wednesday.

You may have noticed that there was no post yesterday. I had planned to do a post but for the life of me a could not think of a subject. I just had a bit of a mental block. I hate when that happens. Anyway you're not here to listen to me make excuses. No you're here for Web Wednesday. Recently I watched a crossover review on TGWTG.com. It featured Obscurus Lupa, who I spoke about some time ago, and Film Brain. In a bit of self deprecating humor the two went back and fourth about which of them was the most annoying personality on that site. Now, I never really found Obscurus Lupa annoying. Except for when she appears with Phelous, who I will talk about eventually, aside from those few encounters I have always found her work to be enjoyable. Film Brain is another matter. I never found him annoying. Not ever. I am not saying that he is perfect, he does have a few verbal and physical tics. Some of his earlier work can be a little rough, but over the years he has grown and adapted into a solid performer. I'll go in greater detail, as usual, after the jump.

Media Monday.

This is going to be an interesting post. G.I.Joe is a great show, but it can sometimes degrade into a bucket of crazy. We have some great examples of that this week. One in particular went so out of whack I don't I was on an acid trip. Let me share that with you.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

While looking through the DailyMail website, which if you read my Damn!! posts you'd know I spend a lot of time at, I saw an article about the death of Charles "Skip" Pitts. It wasn't until I looked at the article that I realized Charles "Skip" Pitts was an Awesome Fat Guy. I also learned that he has sadly passed. Which means it is only right that he be the Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

Damn!! Thursday.

I have had an interesting week. I took a bit of a fall about 5 days ago. As I was going into the bath room a slipped on the wet floor and ended up in what would have become a split had I not caught myself. I was stuck unable to pull my legs together and unsure of how to get out of that position. Eventually, after calling my mother for help, I fell on my ass and tweaked my knee. It still hurts but it isn't that bad. Today, during my weekly appointment with my Psychiatrist which I have missed all too frequently, my doctor suggested I undergo Lap Band surgery. I'm still thinking about it. Anyway forget all that, let's get to the weird, upsetting, and funny. Firstly the picture above. It's a Golden Eagle carrying a knife. It is FUCKING AWESOME. See a few more pics and read the story here.

Web Wednesday.

On this edition of Web Wednesday I am going to look at one of my more recent finds. He has been around for a while but I only began watching this year. The man of the hour is Paw Dugan. Paw specializes in music, but unlike the Rap Critic and Todd in the Shadows he doesn't stick to strict music reviews. Paw spreads his wings and ventures to other domains. Let's see why that's a good thing.

Tat Tuesday.

There are some toys, that you see as a kid, that you never get. For whatever reason they elude you. Maybe they are too expensive, or too rare. One of those ever elusive holy grails, for me at least, was Dino Riders. I remember going to a relative's house and seeing one of their kids playing with a Dino Rider. The sight of an armored dinosaur, with a miniature rider, that could walk gave me a toy boner. A toy boner, in case you don't know and you probably don't since I just made it up, is that feeling of utter jealousy and the realization that all of your happiness exists in a piece of plastic. I had that. I'm pretty sure I was drooling as well. But I never had a Dino Rider. In fact I don't think I ever even watched the show. Which is a shame. It must have been awesome. Even if it wasn't those toys were so awesome it didn't matter. Don't believe me? Take a look.

Media Monday.

Time for another G.I.Joe post. This week we are looking at episodes 36 to 40. We have some really good stuff so let's get right to it.

Awesome Fat Guy of the Week.

I had originally planed to feature Brian Dennehy as this weeks Awesome Fat Guy of the Week but I found him lacking. This turned out to be quite beneficial. As I had recently found a show from 1974 called "Thick as Thieves", I haven't finished it yet but I like what I've seen so far. The star of that show was none other than Bob Hoskins. I had always planned to to do a post on Mr. Hoskins and now seems like a perfect time. As such Bob is the Awesome Fat Guy of the Week. As for the picture above, what can I say? I saw that "I'm sexy" picture and just found it too great to not use. Look at it and question your sexuality.

Damn!! Thursday.

It's that time again. And do I have some shit for you today. Before I get started let's take a look at the picture above. That is a picture of Tony Piertrnatonio having his face redecorated by Lavarn Harvell. He looks like Sloth from the Goonies.

Tat Tuesday.

This book is why I never became a ventriloquist.

On this edition of Tat Tuesday I am not looking at a toy from my childhood. Instead I wanted to talk about one of the reasons I enjoy reading. Although I sadly don't do it as much as I should. As a kid I loved the Goosebumps series. They were books that were made for people my age. That age in between being a child an a teen. They call them "tweens"  now. Back then their wasn't a word for people that age. Maybe I was just getting caught up in the fad. I don't know but the stories were fun and the books were collectable. That added up to a much enjoyed series.
