Ok, I’m going to start off by immediately saying that this list does NOT, in fact, represent my top favorite game themes. Neither does it mean to undermine any of the multitudes of iconic first-level game tunes that didn’t make this list. This list is simply made up of those jingles upon first entering a game’s plane of existence that meant the most to me and why. (and yes, most are from older games)

I see you there with the pitchfork and torch. Don’t try to hide it.

So here are my top 5 most iconic 1st Level tunes from video games.

Welcome to the Powet Top 5, where we explore the top (and bottom) 5 items we think are relevant to any of a variety of topics that span the imagination. Sit back, read, and respond.

Disney Channel shows get a bad rap! I get a lot of flack to watching them. While they are at times pretty horrible, there are a few of them that are really good and worth checking out. While everything on this list is admittedly fairly juvenile, and often subject to cliches, these shows are often very funny, and are a kind of proving ground for some pretty good actors.

Disney makes a lot of shows, but this list is just about Disney Channel series. This means nothing from the Disney afternoon or anything that wasn’t made for Disney Channel proper will be included. I also understand that everyone is in love with Phineas and Ferb but I haven’t watched that show so it’s not on my list. If you don’t like my list, let us know what yours is!

Kaitlyn Leeb, who will star in the upcoming Total Recall remake as the prostitute with three breasts made an in costume appearance at San Diego Comic-con and makes us wish we had 3 hands! Kaitlyn worked at the Total Recall booth and even posed with fellow Total Recall stars Jessica Biel and Bryan Cranston. We here at Powet are big fans of the original prostitute with three boobs from Total Recall and are very excited to see Kaitlyn in action in what will surely be the defining role of her career. She can be seen in the latest trailer which we posted a few weeks ago when we first talked about this very important character.

The question on everyone’s mind of course is which boobs are real and which are fake? Well, as Kaitlyn has mentioned on twitter, they’re actually all prosthetics.

Jessica Biel shared a photo of her and Kaitlyn Leeb saying “I found the most popular girl at #ComicCon! Two girls, five boobs. #TotalRecall”. Intentional 2 girls 1 cup reference? Maybe…

Total Recall hits theatres August 3rd. Keep reading for more photos of Kaitlyn Leeb at SDCC 2012.

Thomas Jane debuted a short fan film (NSFW) at SDCC 2012 called Dirty Laundry. Jane reprises his role as the Punisher in the short, which also features a guest appearance from Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Sons of Anarchy). Its pretty great to see actors who are genuine fans of the characters they portray. Jane played the part of Frank Castle in “The Punisher” released in 2004.

Quote from Jane:

I wanted to make a fan film for a character I’ve always loved and believed in – a love letter to Frank Castle & his fans. It was an incredible experience with everyone on the project throwing in their time just for the fun of it. It’s been a blast to be a part of from start to finish – we hope the friends of Frank enjoy watching it as much as we did making it… Not pushing anything. Just a fan film from friends of Frank.

He’s been talking about it on his twitter account, which you go see here.

“We’re making a Guardians Of The Galaxy movie!”
“Who?”
“US!”
“No, like who is directing it?”
“We don’t know yet!”
“Well who has written it?”
“No script!”
“Who is starring?”
“I don’t know!”
“Well who the fuck drew this picture?”
“Some guy! We’re totally going to make this movie!”

That is all we know. We have a logo and a picture of some concept art. This movie is totally coming.
