Recently Darkon, began reviewing on Youtube. He hadn't got much success yet, but I'm here to help with that. After he told Eugene42181 and I he had the original Mega Man toys from the 90s Cartoon, we immediately told him to review them. The reason is because these things were so freakin' rare. Hell I didn't know this things were made in the 90s, I myself never acctually discovered they were made until like late 2007. Along with that I never even really knew anyone else that had them, except for online sites that had only images of just MegaMan, Rush, Gutsman and Cutman. Luckily for me, I eventually met Darkon and by some odd freaking chance he practically brought them all. But after hearing the prices he had to pay for a few of them I'm like "Christ, watch Bandai Japan troll in some D-Arts of them one day at a Tamashii Nations Events." Then that statement made us all shutter to think it! Anyways enjoy, Darkon633's Super Fighting Robot Week!
Day 1: MegaMan & Rush
Day 2: Protoman
Day 3: Cutman
Day 4: Gutsman
Day 5: Drillman
Day 6: Bombman
Day 7: Brightman, Snakeman & Air Speeder

WWE Friday Night SmackDown 8/5
OVERVIEW:
Smackdown opens up to a quick 9 minute match between Sheamus and the Great Khali. For half of it Khali is slightly dominating the match by overpowering Sheamus. Eventually Khali locks him in the Vice-Grip, but Sheamus finds away out and hits a Brogue Kick on Khali following with a pin. After the match a promo for a tag-team match with Randy Orton & John Morrison facing off against Christian & R-Truth, is displayed before cutting to commerical.
We come back to Smackdown, to a Divas Match. AJ makes her way to the ring, awaiting Natalya entrance it's a match between mentor and student I guess. It starts being pretty techinical with reversal after reversal, nothing too impressive just yet. Natalya quickly locks in the Sharpshooter and AJ taps out in secs, then Natalya puts a bigger beating onto AJ at ringside. Following the beat, Natalya then says she sides with Beth Phoenix on her beatdown to Kelly Kelly on Raw this week. Also tonight we got a State of the Showski Address from the one and only Long Island Iced-Z, ZAC RYDER!
After another commerical break, Matt Striker has an interview with Randy Orton over last weeks match with R-Truth, where Orton beat Truth down with a chair and hit 2 RKOs onto the announce table. Orton replies how he was just unleashing agression and will do the same to Christian at Summerslam. Then we cut to Justin Gabriel's return to South Africa meeting the fans and such. I'm guessing they're planning to turn him back to being a face! Following the promo, Wade Barrett comes down to ringside to join commentary to watch an upcoming Daniel Bryan match.
Tyson Kid is already in the ring, while Daniel Bryan makes his entrance with new theme. The match is pretty techinical, while Barrett bitches about Bryan and his finishing move. Somehow the match turns in Tyson's favor as they go to a commerical break, when returning from the break it's still in Tyson's favor. Tyson is mostly working on Byran's knees locking in Indian Death-Locks. Byran breaks out, goes to the turnbuckle and drops a Dropkick, thus the tide changes. Then it flips back and forth for awhile, until Bryan hits a Roundhouse Kick and his new submission finisher.
We come to the State of the Showski Address with Zac Ryder, just Tony Chimmel doesn't give Ryder a good introduction. Shortly after starting Ezekiel Jackson, comes out and joins him in the ring, followed by Cody Rhodes and Ted Dibiase. Then they aruge about how Ted Dibiase is used and such, followed by General Manager Theodore Long to come out and announce Ezekiel Jackson vs Zac Ryder. Ryder, easily then gets jobbed out by tapping out to Jackson's Torture Rack. Then we cut to "the new" Aksana debut on Smackdown, as she introduces herself to GM Long.
Mark Henry makes his way to the ring for a match to face off with Vladimir Kozlov, who was recently released from his contract today. Mark quickly beats Vladimir, then wraps Vladimir's ankle in a steel chair before slamming down on it. Sheamus flys down to the ring with a chair in hand, chasing out Mark as a strecher comes out for Vladimir. Following the match, backstage John Morrison is flying about demoing some free-running for tonight's main-event.
Sheamus runs into Tod Grisham, for an interview. Sheamus talks how he's going to take out Mark Henry like how he took out Big Show and Kane. Following the interview come back to David Otunga, Micheal McGillicuty & JTG coming to the ring for a 6-Man Tag Match, their opponents are Trent Barreta, & the Uso's. The match isn't too great, and is having a slow start. At the sametime Booker T put on his Twitter "Michael Cole is a TOOL", remind you of anyone?(Check RDM's Blog Again!) Back to the match during that time, all hell breaks loose between all 6 Men leading to McGuillicuty and Otunga taking out Barreta for the win.
Just great a new Johnny Curtis promo, leading to his debut next week. Followed by the Raw Rebound, at this time you should probably go re-read Raw 8/1 review to help fill in the blanks. After the Raw Rebound, we cut to an interview with Christian the World Heavyweight Champion. He talks of how Smackdown has a conspiracy , where then R-Truth appears and talks about Lil' Jimmys leading into Orton's enterance and another commerical break.
After the break we come to Morrison and the opposing teams' entrances. Orton and R-Truth start off the match. Soon each tag out switching to Morrison and Christian, the pace of the match gets better. A commerical break occurs and we come back to Morrison and R-Truth. Morrison is really taking a beating from R-Truth and Christian, until Morrison hits a Ride the Wave. Orton and Christian get tagged in and the pace really picked up. Orton hits some signatures along with Christian, Morrison and R-Truth battle outside, leading to Christian hitting the KillSwitch and getting the pin for his team.
Review:
Alright well this Smackdown started off with some okay matches, and had good results. The way they're promoting Sheamus now as like Hogan/HHH persona, is good by having go up against Khali, then going over to Natalya dominating AJ and siding with Beth on her actions on RAW. Then the few following promos really being to help the upcoming Summerslam and Justin Gaberial as a face. Following the Daniel Bryan match the next couple of matches, kind of suck. They don't really catch my attention.
It's not until the Main Event that Smackdown ends on somewhat of a good note. The tag-team match is great, the brawling and the promoting for the Summerslam match for the World Heavyweight Championship are really amped. The result could've gone almost either way for sometime it felt. Overall this was practically an ok SmackDown, the opening matches really helped with the storylines WWE are making. I'm enjoying how the dominate Divas are taking out the "Barbie Dolls" and enjoying Sheamus face-turn. The Daniel Bryan vs Wade Barrett is becoming a great plot or I hope it will be. I'm hoping that this Summerslam will actually turn out great, with the matches being promoting like Sheamus vs Mark Henry, Cena vs Punk for the WWE Championship, and Orton vs Christian for the World Heavyweight Championship in a No-Holds Barred match. Hell I hope I won't come out swearing to this upcoming PPV next Sunday!

The Video Games of Yesterday, I Spam
So everyone has a favorite video or alot of games they love to play, and recently I've been thinking what are mine? Well after looking at all the games I ever owned or played I came up with several results. These results were do I play alot videos when I'm bored or do it just for fun. Mostly now I usually just spam the recent SmackDown vs Raw, and Call of Duty, along with a few other PS3 games. But once in awhile I switch it up and go back to N64, the GameCub, Gameboy/Advance, PS2, and some current DS games I haven't touched in awhile. And this is where my list of most spammed games came into play and the list goes by years of owning the game, along with the fact this list stops at 2010!
1. Pokemon Stadium 2 (N64): I can't ever stop playing this, it's like every summer or winter break my friends and I would just play the damn Mini-Games. We'd hold like several Mini-Game Tournaments for like over 2hrs. Other than Mini-Games, I do really love the GYM Trainer challenge where you face off against all 16 GYM Leaders and Elite Four members. That's always a plus in my mind.
2. Mega Man Xtreme (Gameboy Color): This Megaman game is probably one of the only Megaman games I still play. Even thou I love NT Warrior series, the original side-scrolling maps are easier to navigate and play out, also maybe cause this guy also has an amazing D-Art could also be the reason I still play this too.
3. Zoids: Battle Legends (GameCube): Originally it was Zoids II in Japan and we got it adapted when Zoids were popular at the time. The game is pretty crap for the tournament mode and the story mode. Hell this story mode I think is based on the manga and not the show, cause I could recognize any of the characters in that mode. They seemed to be, before the Chaotic Century took place. The gameplay is easy, just the costumizing is a bitch. But hey they're ZOIDS!
4. Godzilla: Save the Earth (PS2): I skipped getting Unleashed, due to fact most of the better characters were in WII edition. So I just stayed with this one. Anyways it's like Melee for GameCub/XBox, but it's awhole lot better; more Kaiju, better maps and alot more game features. The roster is about 18 to 20 monsters and hell I just love laying down a Kaiju Smackdown on Monster Island! Random Note: Mothra Leo isn't in the game, even thou it's promoted on the cover.
5. Mobile Suit Gundam: Encounters in Space (PS2): The war between the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon continues, but this time you the player end it! The game play is a little ify at times cause it seems a little laggy during the battle. Just the better parts come when playing as the other lesser known pilots in their own stories or prolgues explianing their earlier days before the series took place. The best part of the game is the cut scenes and media jukebox which has all the original Japanese tracks. Best track on the whole game is Encounters!
6. Pokémon FireRed(pictured above) & LeafGreen (GBA): These remakes of the original Red & Blue are by great remakes. The gameplay is practically 100% like the originals, along with the fact new features/areas are added in too. The graphic too are amazing, along with the fact the PokéDex includes all the Pokémon Kanto to Hoenn.
7. Star Wars: Battlefront II (PS2): This sequel blew the original out of the water. This installement to the Battlefront series which is still in question to continue gave the player new ways to battle. The most maps were new, or different with the gameplay mostly the same, just added the Sith and Jedi. The new general style of gaming really made the game cooler along with the intergalactic space battles. Jedi Starfights and ARC-170, FTW!...And I don't mean For the Win..lol
8. DragonBall Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 (PS3)(BT pictured): This game had one of the largest rosters a game could ever have at the time, it was a total of almost 161 characters. The game aloud team battles, battle replay, and enviromental stages like day to night. Other features, were Great Apes and how to activate fusion during team battles. The gameplay itself really hadn't changed much since the last verison.
9. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight (NDS): Is an addicting video game that practically replays itself over and over again during story mode. Almost all the stories are the same, but it's still fun as hell. The other gameplay mode, survival where you continuiously face off against Mirror Monsters. Anyways the game is just pure Rider Fun, and awhole lot of Rider Action.
10. Pokémon HeartGold(pictured above) & SoulSilver (NDS): Another remake based on the Johto region, and just like FireRed & LeafGreen, these remakes are over the top. I can't stop playing the game, the details are great the game is slightly harder. Or if the original was hard, then I surely forgot that but heck it made the game alot better to try and beat. Another plus was the addition of the other Pokémon from the different regions, anytime they add them all it makes you...Got to Catch 'em All, Got to Catch 'em All! GOT TO CATCH THEM ALL, POKéMON!

Did I Drunk Buy This?!
Today I got home from amazing day at the fair with some relatives. When signing on to my comp and checking my e-mails I found an Order Acknowledgement from Amiami.com. In this order it was Kamen Rider OOO DX Medal Set SP. An item I hadn't intended to buy right away or want due to the Fourze Switch. So I asked myself was I drunk this morning signed online to Amiami.com for stocking time and pulled a RDM tactic or did something or someone order this for me. By now you already see where I going to this and if you don't, at least this person does. Darkon did it, AGAIN! He ordered something without my permission again. Am I mad, no! I can cancel this if I want to, but should he have ordered it, no. Because in our Bro-Ordering Code, it's either order what we want ASAP or just get the few you know they won't want to miss. So will I cancel this set tonight or will I just get the damn thing and sell the switch? Right now I am unsure, and will decide on it within the next few days.
