Half the Battle Episode 33 reviews Ninja Force Banzai
Timmer is at it again, this time Reviewing G.I.Joe Ninja Force Banzai and showing off some great Ninja force commercial. His observations will give you a laugh, and his luchador theory may explain some things.

Transformers IOS Legends review
Transformers Legends is powered by Mobage Games and is a card based rpg for mobile formats.
Hasbro at least must have been impressed, as they have an upcoming G.I.Joe Game in the works that is sad to be more similar to one of their other games, blood brothers, than the Transformers Legends.
The main portion of the game is collecting cards via opening the space bridge. You can equip the weapon cards and transcan the vehicle and robot modes into single cards boosting their power. You can choose to battle other players or play a mission that involves card battles as well and other scanning and tapping activities.
While scanning a boss of the opposite faction (you may play as either Autobots or Decepticons) may appear and you will need tap their rockets to knock them down, this earns you points that levels you up. Each level has additional rewards such as more energy to spend. Continue reading

SDCC Transformers VS G.I.Joe set is up: Parts breakdown and commentary
USA Today has revealed numerous Hasbro SDCC exclusives, but the ones of most interest to me are those in TF vs. Joe set
So Here is a quick rundown of the set (so far we know of no separate singles) with parts lists and commentary.
Parts list: The Classic Vamp now re deco’d as a G 1 Hound
Commentary: I’d much prefer this guy:
The classic Vamp is sad to say, Dated. While this probably a move to please vintage collectors, they already have plenty of Vamps to choose from. While the fan made image shows a vehicle that we have only seen in blue (at least with additional back panels)

New G.I.Joe IOS Game, what can we expect?
A new G.I.Joe game is game is coming for the IOS, to find out more head HERE , and you’ll want to pre-register to get a rare stormshadow card!
The studio behind the game also has released Transformers Legends for IOS and it can give us some clues about what to expect.
I downloaded the game and am working on a review now, but what I can tell you is that it is mostly card focused, but also includes some click to knock down missiles, and scan to search for items/cards sections and has an extensive card assortment to collect digital. It’s free to play but if you want to have a higher chance at getting better cards or want to level up faster, your going to need to pay.
The card battle itself is not involved, so i wouldn’t expect magic the gathering style combat for the Joe version either, but it involves leveling and combining cards outside of combat, and letting the cards play out on their own, which reminds me just a bit of the G.I.Joe trading card game from the Valor Vs. Venom era.
The game does feature a campaign as well as changes to battle others and i’d expect those modes to carry over in the joe form. The Transformers have two versions of each character than you can scan together (vehicle and bot) for a better card, i don’t know how that could carry forward.
I’m heading out for the weekend, hopefully a more proper review of the Legends game will be up next week, as I’ll be playing it a bit more as I travel.
A Doctor Who RPG I’d love to play.
The Folks at College Humor have created a fake trailer for a Doctor Who RPG that shows familiarity with one of my favorite TV Shows.

Tim Curry as the Joke in this terrifying for a kids cartoon clip (hear what could have been prior to Hamil)
Batman’s villain the Joker is just as iconic as the dark knight himself. While some might debate Ledger vs. Nicholson, fans of the 90’s animated series could easily point to Mark Hamil’s incarnation of the character as the voice they always hear in their head. The laugh he pulls off will forever be the joker in my mind for sure.
Recently i discovered that Mark Hamil wasn’t the original pic for the role, it was originally set to go to Tim Curry, but his take was deemed too scary for a kids cartoon. Below is a rare youtube clip that i have to agree is somewhat scary even as an adult!
Think now that Hamil has retired from the role we should get this back? Agree that he is too scary? let us know by jumping to the forum by clicking HERE.

I hope all have had a blessed memorial day.
I’d like to express my thanks to all who are giving in service to this country, and all who have given including the ultimate price. It’s obvious i have a love for the ideas of U.S. when i created the site both the original toy nation a decade ago, and the new version and the Nerd Nation it has become. I am deepy thankful for those who have paid the price for the freedoms I enjoy. While this holiday is intended to honor those who have fallen, i can’t help but also see it as a reminder to always remember our Veterans and those who are still in activity duty. To youreal G.I.Joes (of all branches), the true American Heroes, I say Thanks and God Bless you.
