Rob Riggle is a funny guy, although I’m suprised he could keep a straight face during this.

Bionic Commando Evolution Trailer
By Marc | August 13th, 2008

So when you bought Bionic Commando Rearmed (the remake of the original game, review coming soon), you got to download a special trailer for the new game (the TRAILER is called Evolution, the new game is just called Bionic Commando).

If the game is half as good as it looks in the trailer, playing it may result in a ludicrous amount of enjoyment.

You know, Family Guy really should do more alternate openings.  They’ve only done a few and this one was really good simply because, no way anyone saw it coming.

Blue Gender Episode 1 Review w/ Episode
By Justin | August 13th, 2008

Hey, Sports fans! It looks like the time has come for me to make my debut on the FBR, so I am going to kick things off with the 1999 animated series Blue Gender, which was localized by Funimation in the US between 2001 and 2003.

Today we’re going to take a look at the very first episode of the series, the episode that started it all, and see what it’s all about.  The episode is at the bottom of the review, so if you want to watch it before reading the review, scroll on down (it’s split into pieces, all are down there).

I’m not sure what I liked better about this episode…  the story?  the art?…nah.  It is completely about the mock anime song.  Was even better in HD.

Madman Atomic Comics #9- The One Picture Comic
By Marc | August 12th, 2008

For people who got the last issue of Madman Atomic Comics (it was a good issue), you may have noticed something…  The entire comic was one single panel.  It was a neat idea for a book, the only issue is, 1 panel over an entire book means it was split apart many times.

Thanks to Madman creator Mike Allred the entire issue as one image has been made available.  No voice bubbles though, so if you want to know what exactly is going on go out and buy the issue.

It’s an interesting artistic experiment.  Comics rely on panels of differing shape and size to show time’s passage, action happening, and to move the story, so it is very interesting to see all that done as a single picture.

2 Right Stuf DVD Covers
By Marc | August 12th, 2008

We got some giant shiny DVD art for two Nozomi Entertainment (Right Stuf) titles coming out later on in the year (the artwork isn’t final).  I haven’t seen these anywhere else yet, so enjoy.

First we have the second season of Maria Watches Over Us.

edit- While I haven’t been able to confirm this with 100% accuracy, the other side of the box will have this image in the frame.

Then next we have the classic Towards the Terra movie.

Looking forward to both of these myself (where’s the remastered Tylor box Right Stuf?)
