Comicon is moving along nicely. We’ve seen a few interesting things and a lot of interesting people.
One if the items on the to-do list was to check out the presentation of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Shooting and Modeling for the Awkward Liveblog!
I decided to liveblog our first panel, I sat front row with Keith. How did it go? Hmmmm…
11:49AM: Sitting in Meeting Room 229A with the guys. Chillin’. Eleven minutes to show time. Thinking of ways I can shoot and model awkwardly.
11:51AM: Realizing my Chromebook is missing a rubber foot, a sticky, gaping maw replaces it. Where did it go? Better search my bag.
11:53AM: Still searching for the rubber foot. Has anyone seen it?
Growing Up TV: Earthworm Jim
Spawning many successful games, Earthworm Jim also had a cartoon series, debuting September 9, 1995. An ordinary earthworm has a super powered suit dropped on him thus turning him into the hero we all know. Watching this show growing up as a kid was awesome, my mother even laughed, and that’s hard to do, making this one of the most memorable cartoons in my childhood.
Day Zero Wrap-Up: A Dessert of Deserts
I really didn’t know what to think going into my first day at a Comic-Con (or Comicon as the Phoenix crew puts it). We knew that this first day was going to be a short day (it ran a weird 6PM to 11:30PM) and there were no major events planned, so, like, what to do…
Growing Up TV: Darkwing Duck
Produced by Disney, a spin-off of Duck Tales, Darkwing Duck (think: clumsy Batman in duck form) and his pilot Launchpad (from that series) fly around town, fighting crime.
Growing Up TV: The Centurions
Produced by Ruby-Spears, The Centurions will forever hold a place in my heart for having the most explosions in a cartoon show. Our three heroes — Ace McCloud, Jake Rockwell , and Max Ray — have special suits known as exo-frames (think Lego blocks), and upon shouting “Power Extreme” have all kinds of weaponry beamed on to them by a satellite known as Sky Vault. Sky Vault is kept under maintenance by Crystal Kane, a smart woman who happens to have a monkey while the satellite orbits space. Doc Terror and his sidekick Hacker threaten to conquer earth with their machines, turning humans into cyborgs like them.
Growing Up TV: Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?
I miss the times when cartoon shows were both entertaining and highly educational, Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? was such a show. As a kid I had a bit of a thing for Carmen with her red coat, hat, and long black hair. She was good example of sex appeal that made boys like myself want to watch the series and in the process learn a lot about history. Hell, Carmen Sandiego even helped me pass a few history tests back in elementary school.
Movie Review: Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
Johnny Depp‘s iconic drunken pirate is back but does this movie hold any water or is it watered down? I’ll be honest I have now seen all four movies and the first one actually makes the most sense, however Stranger Tides is the second best out of the series. With that said the audience now knows what to expect from this franchise and its surprises just aren’t there anymore.
‘Macho Man’ Savagely Dies
My Slim Jim wasn’t the only thing to snap early this Friday morning. Yes, it’s sad to report that “Macho Man” Randy Savage has indeed died from a car accident. Sources say the vehicle jumped a median and ‘stinger splashed’ into a tree. His wife, who was with the 58 year old ex-wrestler, was injured but will survive. Florida High Patrol says the outcome would have been different if he had used his signature ‘Texas pile driver’ on the tree but others disagree due to it being banned from the WWE because, if done incorrectly, it can break necks– plus, they aren’t in Texas.
