‘Ghostbusters’ Getting Theatrical Rerelease? Childhood Glow Time.
Ghostbusters is getting a theatrical rerelease. Fucking yes. My girlfriend, having arrived out of a box tabula rasa, a shiny blonde gorgeous intelligent blank slate, has never seen this flick. What a better way to indoctrinate her into the ways of the busting of Ghosts.

Ecto Cooler Recipe Revealed, My Childhood Groin Swells.
This is my first memory regarding Hi-C’s Ecto Cooler. Projectile vomiting it all over a fellow classmate’s neck during a bus ride coming home from a field trip. This is my second memory regarding it: infinitely awesome snack times almost entirely because of its glory. Its taste. It disappeared like a spirit in the night, but now it may be back. Ghost Busters Chicago Division has cracked the code. Hell yeah.
Domino’s Is Bringing Back The ‘Noid’ For A Week. Nostalgic Arousal Inc.
Showing my age here. Domino’s had a mascot way back in the day called the Noid. I remember this because I was little and he was something of an animated clay homunculus who sold my young brain on the idea of eating pizza. As well, I played a good amount of ‘Yo Noid!’, the video game based off of him by Capcom. By fucking Capcom. This week the Noid is back, and so is a video game featuring him. It’s all on Domino’s Facebook page, and my nostalgia is bringing me into a weepy state.
Konami Teases New ‘Contra’ In Pre-E3 Presentation. Hell Yes!
Contra. A stalwart fixture in my gaming childhood. What the fuck my parents were doing letting me run around with enormous machine guns and blast alien hearts is beyond me, but I’m glad that they were so oblivious to the rockitude they bought for me. At Konami’s E3 presentation, they teased more Contra. Oh yes.
Super Mario Bros: The Indie Movie Is Star Level.
Apparently at SXSW and other film festivals they have a bunch of “bumper” films. Minifilms that precede the screenings. Didn’t know that. Now I do. One of them showing at SXSW is “Mario” by Joe Nicolosi. Nicolosi works in a shitload of outstanding references in the framework of a trailer for an indie film version of Mario. Go ahead and watch it, you’re going to love it.
You dirty little slut.
Hit the jump for the video.
FRESH, Check Out The New ‘Super 8’ Poster.
Yeah son, yeah! Did you check out the Super 8 trailer? Did it make you feel like you were staring at Ronald Reagan on television as President, and worshipping at the feet of Hulk Hogan before he was a bloated orange hot dog ready to burst?
Then hit the jump and check out the poster for it that has dropped.
Forget Cloud Strife! Real Life Buster Sword Wielded By Beefy Orange Guy!
When I was fourteen, all I wanted to do was run around Midgar with the Buster Sword, killing people and making out with Tifa. I figured that if that emaciated wimp Cloud could swing it around, I could too! But this video proves I was wrong. Dead wrong. The video shows that the sword cannot be wielded by Cloud, or awesome dudes with beard, but only by those worthy: huge, muscle-bound dudes with backwards hats and orange skin.
Hit the jump to see the Buster Sword crush some shit, under the tutelage of Gym Rat Steve or whatever.
Wizard Magazine Canceled; My Childhood Just Wept.
It was announced today that Wizard magazine is closing its doors. For the forever and everything. News broke while I was probably discussing something retarded like editing the manuscripts of Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders in class on campus. When I returned I returned to the inter-pipes, I found the world changed.
