This week I talk about an unlikely marriage, playing with plastic, and rocking out.  I also review DJ Hero and Legend of Black Heaven.

News
Otaku marries his 2D girlfriend.  Yeah, it's all pixellated roses now, but just wait until he cheats on her with a love pillow.  Then it will get nasty.  Because as experts can attest, love pillows can get quite filthy if not washed regularly. 

At least this story gave me an excuse to post yet another video with the Super Mario Bros theme.  This one features tesla coils!

Fun thing of the Episode
AKA the video I forgot to mention
The Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody
p>

They even brought back the Mahna Mahna guys! 

Reviews
DJ Hero

I feel somewhat proud of myself for not referencing Short Circuit 2. 
They need to mash up that song with something, pronto.

Legend of Black Heaven
Since the opening theme doesn't give you a good idea of the animation style in the show (or humor), this AMV will have to suffice

If you leave me one, I'll leave you one. 

Promotional Consideration given to:
RPG Lamer - Releasing another episode of RPGLamer would be yes?  I know you're reading this, Jake.  Get to it. Chop Chop.  Equip your boots of escaping and start table top gaming if you have to.  Lightning Bolt! Lightning Bolt! 

Anime Pacific - I know this discussion is a month old at this point, but check out "Who should play Major Motoko Kusanagi in the Hollywood Ghost in the Shell movie?"  as Alex put a lot of work into that article. 
And then I added asinine comments, as I am wont to do.

I really don't have a preference at this point as to who should play the Major.  I'd like a Asian actress to play her, given that's her character in the manga and movies, but since this is a major Hollywood movie, that's not going to happen.  Just as long as it's not Kristen Kreuk.  I do think Clancy Brown might make a good Batou, though. 

Also, check out Dane's articles on Soviet Animation and Foreign Films.  Good stuff. 

Lathers Blathers - After six months, Rich "Lather" Tatarek has come out of hiding and has graced us with another episode.  Fignuts.  I was enjoying having marginally higher feedburner statistics than him.  I guess it goes to show the relative qualities of our shows.  I'd be petty and start arching him but I'm already being petty and arching Anime Pacific, and I don't have time for two archenemies.  Ah well. 

Musical Accompaniment

The song played was Rock N Roll Man by Mr. Nasty

Thanks for listening!
