While Table Top gaming isn’t at it’s prime these days with the shiny graphics of modern video games, for many any way to continue the cult hit that was Firefly is great.
There is not a lot of details at the moment, but i’ll attempt to keep you up to date as i hear anything. Click here ( to head to Gaint Freaking Robot) for all the details I can currently find.
A bit ago i spotted this exciting news on Gaint Freakin Robot. I must admit I can’t remember how i ended up there, it’s highly likely it was originally linked to on a message board.
Cobra is at it again. IGN posted a new Cobra Special forces recruitment video today, check it out below! Personally i love how the Cobra unit emphasize skill, and even pride, while the G.I.Joe’s in contrast are humble despite their talents.

Earlier Today a new Iron Man III trailer hit the net. It showed us some scenes that we have already had glimpses off, but it also showed us more and confirmed some things we already knew. The design reveals in this trailer were very impressive, check it out embedded below,with spoilerish commentary after.
So it’s been confirmed, loads of armors. I find it bizarre that the movie that best lends itself to a toyline full of different Iron Man Armors, has the crappiest marvel toys produced this side of the 90’s. 5 POAs, and a line that takes such a noble concept, as creativity, customizing, and swapping armors, and reduces it to blocks like the 5 POAs and gives us such varied colors and designs that nothing makes sense when swapped, nothing.
All the negativity of the toyline aside, this trailer confirms we have some excellently designed Iron Men to look forward to, that there is some type of process Tony, and others appear to undergo, and that Mandarin continues to be Bad @$$. We see a Stark that is suffering from PTSD after the first movie, and one who loves Pepper. The president’s inclusion is a bit surprising. The seriousness of the matter will likely lead many to ask where the other Avengers are and I think it will be simpler to answer than War Machine’s Absence from the Avengers (yes I know there is going to be or already is a comic that addresses that) Cap + Black Widow, and shield are dealing with another thread, hawkeye may be off screen, but is on assignment somewhere, dealing with a threat less cinematic, more important, Thor is in Asgaurd,and Banner is hiding.
Iron Man II disappointed many, and although I enjoyed it, i’m hoping for more here. Is anyone else helping in a suit? Do believe some of the rumors?
Our forums now have a button for spoiler tags, how convenient ! Head to the forum to join the discussion in progress, and talk about some of those other rumors, and the implications of the trailer. CLICK HERE.
If your like me, you haven’t paid much attention to the Simpsons in awhile, but they have done something awesome here. They have parodied the popular Game of Thrones’ opening. I’ve copied below and before you ask, the reason for the gap and the reverse of the images, is so that it doesn’t get taken down.
A very cool mash up video has recently hit youtube. It retells the story of the first Ghostbusters story using Mario and his crew with a special guest from another Nintendo franchise. The animation looks professional, and the music mixing is astounding. It’s embedded below, give it a look.
Toy Nation forums member JJlecaros shared that his friend has announced a funding campaign that is described as “Karate Kid, but with wrestling.” to find out more info head to their IndieGOGO page.

It has it been a busy day news wise for G.I.Joe and unfortunately I’ve been very busy as well.
For the latest trailer, and a the first interview I saw of the day click here to head towards Comingsoon.net. Other interviews went up around the net as well, for them click the links below.
1. The movie has not been retrofitted with more Tatum. But… we do have this quote from one of the interviews ”
But there will be some people who are sad there’s not more Channing Tatum.
DI BONAVENTURA: Yeah, there will be, for sure. But, there will be some people that are really happy that Bruce Willis and The Rock have plenty of time. It’s hard when you have three guys, all of which you want to see be the lead. ”
It does sound like they recognize his potential impact more than originally. my crazy guess, they already filmed the ending where he lives, and it’s the one we will see in theaters.
2. Their is a 10 minute ninja battle with no music. There is also a homage to the silent interlude, this may or may not be the same thing.
3. the IGN interview gives away an order of sequence for the ninja battle
4. Flint’s character is similar to the early comics, we see him grow.
5. They recognize fans of the original Joe would be lost when watching the first movie!
