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

Ninja are so good at what they do that Very little is written about them. Well, shyeah! I’m surprised we even knew that they existed, that’s just how good they are.

Before news of these mighty warriors reached western shores, their characteristics were already steeped in mysticism and wild claims — all the better to maintain their cover and strike when one is least expecting.

But when popular media got a hold on such a novel idea, all the sort of iconographic garbage you can expect from commercialism started to dilute their true nature. That is why N is for Ninja, and why you should read on to find out why everything you thought you knew about them is wrong.

First, the bad news:

Unfortunately, there are no plans to release Animated Season 3 or to re-release Season 1 or 2 at this time. Granted, all plans are always subject to change, but we do not want to promise anything at this point in time.

Thats directly from Hasbro Q&A on Actionfigs.com. This is extremely disappointing to anyone who collected the first 2 seasons of course, but also leaves anyone who missed the show in its first airings completely in the dark. Hopefully Hasbro will remember that Transformers are still PRINTING MONEY right now and any more product they can get into the market is good.
Some of the last Animated figures, Rodimus and Ironhide will appear as Toys R Us Exclusives this fall. If you want these figures, get a job at Toys R Us so that you can buy them as soon as they come in. Arcee disappeared quickly, too quickly.

In lighter news, Animated will air in Japan soon, and it got a killer anime intro sequence.

This is the best thing since Shinin’ Your Soul!

Encore/Black Ops entertainment are no less than geniuses. By tapping into America’s post-9/11 desire to kill Osama Bin Laden and assorted other brown and black people, Fugitive Hunter deserves a special place in every PS2/PS3 owner’s collection. Playing as Jake Seaver, a former Navy Seal turned bounty hunter, you pursue the FBI’s 10 most wanted fugitives throughout the world. You run through various global hotspots blasting at anything that gets in your way. When you get to the target in question, the game switches to a side by side fighting game in order to take down the criminal ALIVE. That’s right folks, although you’ll blast dozens of his henchmen to pieces, the game teaches humanitarian values and civil rights by having players beat their opponent down with kung fu moves and bring them in alive! No matter who you’re facing, all the bosses seem to know the same style of Kung Fu, even Bin laden!

Developer EV Interactive (whose staff is made up of people who worked on JetFighter and Decent no less) and publisher Vivendi Universal are no less than genius. Few videogame developers have attempted to tap into the non-wrestling and non-NASCAR demographic as flawlessly as EV has done here. The companies have banded together to give us the first videogame based on professional Lawnmower Racing! And you thought those things were just for yard work! Licensed by the United States Lawnmower Racing Association, players can customize their racer and go mower to mower against legends such as Bobby Cleveland, George Herrin, and Chris “Mr. Mowjangles” Powell in the Sta-Bil circuit, Free mowing, and multiplayer racing modes! The soundtrack features the music of bluegrass legends, The Outlaw Family Band! Forget about Burnout, Midnight Club, Forza, Gran Turismo, Mario Kart, and every other racing game! It’s all about LMRM2k7! This game should be on the Xbox Originals, but shockingly, it isn’t! Click after the jump for hints and tips as well as our exclusive powet interview with Mr. Mojangles himself!
