Custom Casey Jones paintjob

Oh, Casey Jones. One of my favorite TMNT figures. Seeing as I had two of them I thought I would paint one of them. Casey Jones looked pretty cheesy with his purple pants and green shoes. I gave him a tougher, more grim color scheme. I even highlighted the body hair that Playmates deemed a necessary part of the sculpting of the figure. I went for more of a blank aspect in the mask to give it a kind of Michael Myers look. I will admit that the original's mask looks better. Click on the picture for a much larger and more detailed version. Will there be more TMNT custom paintjobs in the future on RC4? That all depends on if I get a job or not. Job = No. Unemployment=time=boredom=TMNT figure painting.

Go See This Movie!

I cannot stress this enough. District 9 is a friggin sweet movie. It's like a combination Schindler's List and Enemy Mine. The movie is presented as a kind of documentary in the begginning but eventually loses that aspect but takes it back up in the end. The story of the movie revolves around aliens who crash-landed (sort of) over South Africa. The humans herd the aliens into slums and generally treat them anywhere from stupid people to vermin. The people interviewed in the beginning of the film keep mentioning that the main character, Wikus Van De Merwe, has done something that is considered treasonous to the human race. What did he do? Oh you'll find out. This film has a great story, seamless special effects, and relatable characters. You'll laugh, you'll cry (if you're a girl), and it will make you think. Mostly about how cool alien weaponry is.

Video Game Review: Zero The Kamikaze Squirrel

Oh boy! It's been about a month and a half since my last post. I'm totally gonna try to get into the habbit of posting more frequently. So here is a review for the SNES game (also available on Genesis) Zero the Kamikaze Squirrel. The fact that a game like this was even made boggles my mind. You play as a squirrel wearing a rising sun headband ( I have to admit I at one point not only had won but wore it) who goes around throwing ninja stars at badguys. These badguys are made up of giant scorpions, robots, and even dorky-looking guys with bladed propeller caps. The whole game seems kind of weird. The strangest (read scariest) part of the game is in the beginning Zero talks to his boss/friend/whatever who is an evil clown. Not to say that all clowns are evil (they are), this one had a mean grimace, black eyes, and a spiked choker necklace. It is bizarre to say the least. In conclusion, the mediocre gameplay and sound combined with the freaky characters and premise make this game not really worth playing. Actually you should play it once to see the intro with the clown. Creepy.
