Big news! The Powet.tv staff have decided to start a news blog based on a fandom which is dear the hearts of all our readers! Coming soon is the Ponyville Gazette, the definitive My Little Pony news source for all you die hard My Little Pony fans!

Pinkie Pie can't contain her excitement at the thought of a Powet.tv My Little Pony news site!

We’re still working out the details but we’re confident this is something everypony will be happy with! We’re hoping to get this underway in April but at this point we’d be fools to commit to a firm date.

Created by Mara Brock Akil as a spin-off to her previous TV hit Girlfriends, The Game is a show which examines the lives of three members of a fictional football team and their relationships with the women in their lives. It was originally shown on CW, but it was canceled after 3 seasons. It was then picked up by BET, where a strong fan following gave it a new lease on life in the form of a new season, which aired this past January. Now it seems like it’s going to be game time again, as Strata, the makers of the arcade classics Time Killers and Blood Storm, have once again teamed with Incredible Technologies, makers of the arcade version of Street Fighter The Movie (which fans have regarded as the definitive Street Fighter game due to its digital representation of Van Damme), to bring The Game to Xbox 360, Playstation 2, Playstation 3, Wii, Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, Sony PSP, PC, IPhone OS, Windows Phone 7, and Android in the form of a one-on-one fighter. Just as they have revolutionized arcades back in the 90s, Strata/I.T will no doubt bring The Game home in the only way to do so: with bloody combat, grisly dismemberment attacks, secret characters who are palette swaps of other characters, and a stripper pole in your bedroom.

This weekend is GIJoeCon in Orlando, Florida. The Terrordrome is live tweeting from the Renegades panel and has reported that GI Joe Renegades will indeed end after just one season. This confirms the fears of fans who have been dreading the end of the series after it was announced the show would be going on hiatus after the first season. The show will essentially end before the toys ever make it to store shelves. Most unfortunate for everyone involved. On the bright side, a question asked during the Q&A confirmed that Renegades will have a DVD release.

A new GI Joe animated series will come out in 2012 based on the GI Joe 2 movie.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – Renegades on hiatus for GI Joe 2. But GI Joe animation will return, didn’t say Renegades will return though.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – They just keep saying “animation”, not “Renegades”, so probably not returning as Renegades.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – To add on to previous statement, it is all “industry talk” and Renegades is done after Season 1.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – Look for a new series based off of GI Joe 2 in 2012.

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – Ok, Renegades is done, but when the “animation” returns, it will look the same, same characters…

JoeCon 2011: Renegades Panel – …but will be more closer to GI Joe 2 in story. So same look, but farther along story than Renegades is now.

Thanks to the Terrordrome for keeping us up to date on this news.

We we we so excited.

Master thespian James Urbaniak, best known to our readers and Dr Thaddeus Venture, has put the nail in the coffin of the “Friday” meme by joining comedy music professionals Paul And Storm on stage for a dramatic reading of teen scream Rebecca Black’s hit(?) song. Also joining is Wil Wheaton, who raps.

If for some reason you’ve not seen the original song and video, enjoy… [Read the rest of this entry…]
