Since the alphabet is the building block of our language, the Powet Alphabet is the building block of what makes us geeks.

The story of the Yellow Lanterns is the story of how a slew of plot devices and some incidental uses of color eventually coalesced over the course of decades and countless comic book writers into the Sinestro Corps and the War of Light.

One more DVD preview before the holidays, this time from the special Outtakes, Bloopers, and Alternate Scenes video! The full version is 20 minutes in length, so this 4-minute preview is only a fraction of the madness contained on the disc — including never before seen footage of our Tokyo Game Show adventure. This preview, like many other promos and videos, is only available on the Famicom Dojo Video Netcast.

Like what you see? Then don’t hesitate to pick up a Famicom Dojo DVD today! Order your copy by December 18th to ensure delivery (barely) by Christmas — barring any slowdowns at the post office, of course. If you’re still not convinced, check out the Convention Tour 2008 Preview that we posted last week, or just wait for the player to hit it up, after the First Annual Powet.TV Awards – Nominees video!

Here’s a preview of the DVD-exclusive Famicom Dojo Special, Convention Tour 2008! I go around the Midwest with (a virtual) Vinnk in tow. What shenanigans will follow? Find out what happened at No Brand Con 2008 in this preview video, only available on the Famicom Dojo Video Netcast.

If you like what you see, why not pick up the Season 1 DVD today? Specially-priced for the holiday season, how could one pass up the joy of talking consoles in their own home?

Social networking has changed the way some companies approach gaming. For some, it enhances the experience. For others, it’s the entire point of the experience. Does integrating gaming with social network make either one better?

Have you been putting off getting a Famicom Dojo Season 1 DVD? Fear not, for we have carefully formulated two good and very convincing reasons why now is the time to act:

1) The Season 1 set has been marked down to an extremely affordable $12.95 for the holiday season, great for that stocking stuffer you’ve been looking to get (even if it’s just for yourself).

2) Also, you can help Powet! Proceeds for DVD sales go directly into the Famicom Dojo coffers for great episodes, but when you buy through our Amazon.com link you’ll be giving Powet.TV a little scratch as well. Isn’t that nice? Isn’t nice what this season is all about?

Check out details over on FamicomDojo.TV, or just do what your heart wants and order now! (Orders should be placed by 12/18/2009 to make sure you get your copy by Christmas.)

…but should they have stayed hidden?

Resurrecting the Sands of Time series that inspired the upcoming Jerry Bruckheimer film, Ubisoft announced today that their next installment will not be a follow-up to the “new” Prince of Persia series. This change-up shouldn’t be much of a surprise, since it was reported almost two months ago that the name had been reserved for “game-related use”.

While a tie-in makes sense fiscally, will gamers (literally) buy it?
