Commercial Success killed the New Idea... Star.

Bad title, I know... But. It ties in.

DigitalSpy are reporting (link) that Nintendo are due to announce the next Wii outing for our favourite Green-Clad, Elven Hero...

The title?

"The Legend of Zelda: We've Run Out of Ideas So We're Remaking Ocarina of Time Instead."

*Rolls Eyes*

Bad Nintendo! *fwaps with rolled up Newspaper* BAD! We want new ideas. NEW! Yes it's a brilliant universe, but we're seriously going into Lucas-Esque Re-Touching (Read: Molesting) of the Original Star Wars movies...

And that way madness lies...

- DA Out.

Going for the No-Prize...

From Emma Frost's Wiki page:

"At the meeting, it is revealed that she and Prince Namor share a romantic history. During her days as the White Queen, Sebastian Shaw sends Emma to convince Namor to join the Hellfire Club. Instead, Namor takes her to his kingdom and they begin a relationship. Believing Emma to have betrayed him for Namor, Shaw sends a reprogrammed sentinel to Atlantis, attacking the two and destroying the kingdom. As Namor confronts Shaw for his treachery, Selene takes telepathic hold of Emma, erasing her memories of Namor, who vows revenge on Shaw. In the present, Emma reveals that her initial battle with Phoenix unlocked her memories of Namor. She makes a pact with him, seducing Shaw and using her telepathy to make Namor believe she has executed him, while secretly telepathically incapacitating Shaw. Per their deal, Namor vows to protect mutant-kind as his own people, while Emma, more determined to fill her role as a leader of mutant-kind, contacts Scott to have Shaw captured by the X-Men for "crimes against mutant-kind." Approaching him later in his cell, Emma reveals that she has captured Shaw for Namor and on the basis that the Sentinels he commissioned were ones later used by Cassandra Nova to destroy Genosha. She sentences him to remember nothing but the faces of the Genoshan victims using her telepathy. "

So, no Brazillian Rainforests...? No Wild Sentinels...? Just having Sebastian Shaw to blame, then wasting him as a future antagonist...?

*roll eyes*

POSSIBLE SPOILERS WARNING

But by any right you shouldn't be caring about the most expensive and semi-ornate handful of glorified toilet paper this side of 'The da Vinci Code'.

See this preview of 'Ultimate X-Men #100'?

Well... Let's face it you haven't exactly proven yourself the best writer, have you?

You took the only visible Gay couple in the Ultimate Universe, crippled one and took the sensitive, artistic and gentle one and turned him into some horrible 'Roid-filled, Stereotypical Mess...

That drug in particular is a story of it's own. Named after a popular mainstream character ('Banshee'), when two different things with the same effect had already been introduced in the M/S MU... The Standard 'Mutant Growth Hormone' or 'MGH', with some overtones of Grant Morrison's 'Kick'... But rather than a sentient mould/bacterial life form, it turns out to be some drug...

...DERIVED FROM WOLVERINE'S DNA...

(Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooore...)

...Created by Xavier and Magneto, but canned by the Prof, so what did Mags do? Go and get Moira F*cking MacTaggert to produce it to fund her base on Muir Island, (baring in mind that the most powerful Psychic had been around her before now, in canon and none of this coming up before, mind...) and upon being confronted about it... Suddenly seems to have developed mutant powers of her own! A Sonic Scream, no less...

But no... That's not my point right now... Right now you are messing with my homeland, and by proxy, me...

If you honestly think that you can go around making out that our most important seat of Government, whilst full of every single MP and a series of European Superheroes are inside, can get inside and blow the place up, the only resistance having been from two overweight, poorly protected Police Officers dressed in uniforms that went out in the Eighties, armed only with truncheons?

Firstly, do your research mate (See Picture, Below). Every one with at least a Stab-Vest. The one's around Parliament? Armed and trained to kill. And that's just the ones on the outside... And don't even THINK of claiming it's to increase dramatic tension and/or about suspension of belief. A good writer can get around that and still get his point across.

Secondly, Racism much? I know it's not right to throw that word around wantonly, but I will not have my nation played up as a helpless bunch of over-weight (*ahem*), under-prepared losers ready for the Big, Bad-Ass Americans to swan in and play WWII Saviours again...

We are NOT victims.

And we NEVER WILL BE.

Memeography – an art losing its luster.

In the last five years, internet memes have broken out of the internet and into the mainstream. Any Tom, Dick, or Harry could tell you whether they “has cheeseburgers” or if something was an “epic fail”. The traditionally nerdy “that’s what she said” has broken out onto the network television scene with its appearance on The Office.

However, the last few years have been strangely devoid of worthwhile memes. The “Yo dawg” Xzibit meme is funny only the first eight billion times you StumbleUpon it. Demotivationals are clever, but the jokes are hit or miss, and sometimes even too inside for the internet crowd.

So what happened? When did the internet lose its shining stars of wry creativity and sarcastic humor and mindlessly funny video game lines? I could yell “do a barrel roll” at the top of my lungs in any public forum and get nothing. NOTHING! Where did these kids grow up? When? In the nineties? I DON’T THINK SO! Everyone loves their precious “lolcats” and such, but when was the last time any of them celebrated a real caturday? The meme should never have left the internet. It’s all become watered down. I haven’t seen the emergence of a true, repeatable, hilarious meme in years. And this saddens me deeply.

We need to develop a kind of system, nay, a quorum. A collection of individuals who have the perfect touch to apply to the world of dying internet humor, who could develop new memes and send them out into the world, like fledgling doves. Because the internet has a cancer, and it is called the common man. And to combat the influence of the common man, we must redouble our efforts to re-nerd-ify.
