Sep 25 2009 Looks Promising: Halo Anime Series Preview
Here are a couple video previews of the upcoming Halo Legends anime series due out later this fall. I thought they looked okay. I mean, it's no Cowboy Bebop, but then again, THERE'S NO DOG NAMED EINSTEIN (I'm partial to dogs named Einstein, you see. Especially scruffy ones!). So yeah, what do you guys think? Excited? Indifferent? Would you rather watch paint dry? Or would you rather watch me eat lead-based paint chips? CAUSE I WOULD DO THAT FOR YOU!
Hit the jump for another one, which is mostly horn-tooting for the people who made it.

Aug 14 2009 Real Life Duck Hunt Is Not THAT Real Life
This Duck Hunt game from Hammacher Schlemmer costs $30 and involves shooting a mechanical flying duck with an infrared gun. Plus, if your gun runs out of batteries you can still throw rocks at it. Just like our ancestors used to do!
A 10-second charge on the barrel of the gun energizes the mechanical duck for a 30-second flight. The duck's 6" long mylar wings flap up and down nearly 500 times per minute, and it can be set to fly in an erratic left- or right-turning circle or a level, straight line. Sharp-eyed hunters take aim with the infrared gun--the first two hits merely stun the waterfowl, momentarily interrupting his flapping; the third hit downs the duck for good.
I like how it takes three shots to bring it down, that's pretty neat. Not as neat as my cocktail, but that's only because I DON'T DO ICE, HOMEY.

Jul 27 2009 Master Chief Theater: Halo Anime Coming
You like what I did with the title there? I lol'd. And by lol'd I mean tried to hammer my teeth out with a XBox 360 controller. So anyway, there comes a time when all great franchises must come to an end in a horrible burning fire of suck. This is that time for Halo.
Microsoft is teaming with five production houses for a series of seven short films called Halo Legends, reports the Los Angeles Times. The five production houses are some of the biggest names in the industry:
Bones, Casio Entertainment, Production I.G., Studio4 C, and Toei Animation.The creative director overseeing the production is Shinji Aramaki, director of Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina.
Actually, this could turn out to be pretty good. Probably not pork chop sandwiches good, but genius like that doesn't grow on trees. IT COMES FROM PIGS, SILLY!

Thanks to Master Chief woot woot, Master Chief's funner, harder-partying brother.
Jun 7 2009 Interwebs: Watch Web Soup Tonight On G4
You know that show The Soup that cuts down a day's worth of teletubes to a 30 minute show? Well now there's one for the interwebs. Web Soup premieres tonight on G4 at 9PM eastern and highlights the best shit on the internut. Plus, it's partially written by Anticlown loyalist and all around captain badass Jonah Ray. Who, I can attest, once joked the tits off a witch. Now I know what you're thinking -- and no, I didn't get paid for this. I'm just hoping that, if I play my cards right, Olivia Munn's ass meets my hand. YOU WILL RETURN MY EMAILS!

In the most anticipated release since the last homoerotic game from Japan comes Muscle Koushinkyoku (Muscle March) for the Wii Virtual Console. Dropping May 26th, the 800 Wii Point game combines erotic fantasy with Human Tetris like gameplay. And I, for one, can hardly wait. So, in the meantime, who wants to go people watch at the gym with me? Cool, I'll be in the locker room.
