A gamer named "Blubber" now holds the current world record for beating Super Mario Bros. for the NES in the least amount of time. His time is exactly 4:57:69. What he does in that time is amazing.

Oh, and clearly there were some warp zones used....

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie Raphael Action Figure Review

When it comes to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I have a hard time picking a favorite Turtle. I guess it really depends on the version of the green teens we're talking about. From the first movie and 2007's TMNT, my favorite would have to be Raphael. From the original cartoon show, I'd go with Michelangelo. As for the arcade and NES games, as well as the new IDW comic, I'd say Leonardo. With the Nicktoon, Donatello has risen to the top....

Hot Toys The Dark Knight Rises: 1/12 Scale The Bat

Crap, now I'm in real trouble. Hot Toys has been making incredible 1/6 scale action figures for a while now that have always been very tempting to me, but because of the price and the face that I don't really collect figures in that scale, I've been able to avoid them.  Now they're doing 1/12" (6 inch) scale. That's the scale I collect. They're doing vehicles and figures.  Of Batman items. As I said, I'm in trouble...

Disney Exclusive Indiana Jones Action Figure Review

I think that, like many children of the 80's, Indiana Jones is one of my favorite movie icons. As an action figure collector, I've always wanted a great plastic representation of this adventuring archaeologist.  With the last, better off forgotten movie, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, we got a bunch of Indiana Jones merchandise including stuff from the older movies. As far as action figures, a bunch of 3-3/4" and 12" scale...
