Kong Returns To His Mighty Throne

Yet again I stumbled upon another great Bostonian with a lot of talent. Meet Mat the Wad by Matthew Ducharme, a little cartoon series of different scenarios that is deals with the daily life of us all.

Donkey Kong Country remains as one of the best video games ever released by Nintendo. From its addictive gameplay to its (at the time) stellar 3D graphics the adventures of Donkey & Diddy made it impossible to not go back and play it all over again. Near the end of last year Nintendo partnered up with Retro Studios, the same folks that brought us the immortal Metroid Prime series, and together created Donkey Kong Country Returns. Needless to say this was a homecoming celebrated all throughout the world.

Rants and raves galore fill today's episode of the Boston Bastard Brigade, including a call-to-arms for the return of a beloved sports game series.

With Penny Arcade Expo East coming up in just two weeks, lots of hot anticipation as to what to expect this year is engulfing my brain cells. With a long list of exciting developers on hand this year there are huge reasons why you should pay close attention to one of the best gaming conventions to come around our dirty waters.

Without a doubt Asobi Seksu is one of indie rock's best and brightest bands in the business. Formed by vocalist/keyboardist Yuki Chikudate and guitarist/vocalist  James Hanna in 2001 the duo -- along with various bassists and drummers -- have been creating sounds and melodies unlike any other group in the last ten years. This year marks the release of their fifth studio album Fluorescence, released on February 15 by Polyvinyl Records, and they start their US tour tomorrow at the Brighton Music Hall in Allston, MA. Via email I had the chance to ask James Hanna about the band's illustrious career.

The folks who brought us the hot ATV racer nail'd have something undead up their sleeve, and they're ready to take your breath away!

After a two month hiatus the King returns with a brand-new episode of tasty musical goodness.

After watching four episodes of the new anime comedy Beelzebub, I keep finding myself asking the same three questions about this show: Why is the premise done to death, why do I keep watching, and would someone put a freaking diaper on that baby?!
