If you’re a regularly Poweteer and have perused our forum in the past few months, you might know that a few of the Powet staff will be attending this coming year’s MAGfest X – a convention for gamers and lovers of gaming music.

Well, we just got one more awesome reason to attend the festival this year. Father of the Final Fantasy music genre, Nobou Uematsu will be the featured guest at MAGfest this year, along with his newest band, Earthbound Papas. (since The Black Mages disbanded some time ago)

Uematsu joins a very wide variety of guests to appear at this year’s MAGfest, along with the likes of AVGN, ScrewAttack, Extra Credits and a slew of other guests and bands. (sorry, no Minibosses this year) So if you’ve got a little time in early January and are in the Baltimore area, check this out and look us up!

Here is some behind the scenes footage of the recording of the last episode of “Conan: The Adventurer”, recorded on July 29th 1993.

The recording starts with some horsing around and setup, followed by the live recording of some lines from the episode.

Shown are stars Garry Chalk, Kathleen Barr, Richard Newman, Doug Parker, Scott McNeil, Janyse Jaud, Mike Donovan and Stevie Vallance. This was posted to voice actress Stevie Vallance’s YouTube channel on Monday. Powet readers may know Stevie Vallance best as the voice of Mouse from Reboot. The cast of Conan went on to do many great shows like The Bots Master, Reboot and Beast Wars.

As it’s 1993 we can see things like Scott McNeil playing a classic grey Gameboy!

On Halloween I constructed a crude but satisfying Green Lantern costume. I was pretty proud of it, and took my daughter out trick-or-treating. But, I still hadn’t seen the movie. Missed it in theaters, and hadn’t had a chance to watch the DVD yet.

And then I did watch it and… oh boy.

I wouldn’t say this was the worst movie ever, but it definitely had some really odd choices and some really bland parts. But! I will say that Peter Sarsgaard as Hector Hammond was both ruined and saved this movie. His hammy odd ball freak performance ran against everything else the direction, story, and other actors were trying to convey… but since they were all so bland, he was the only one with any life.

So I made this video. Enjoy.

Six months on, how is the Famicom Dojo Podcast doing?
