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

In 1994, Marvel did nothing short of the unthinkable. They killed Professor Charles Xavier, the founder of the X-men. They didn’t stop there. They destroyed the X-men as we knew them, throwing the Marvel Universe head first into a universe where one of the X-men’s greatest adversaries was in control. Everything that we thought we had known was wrong, and now, over 15 years later, the effects are still being felt throughout the Marvel Universe. Welcome poweteers, to the Age of Apocalypse.

It looks like the Reapers are no longer content to work through third-party agents messing around in the Terminus systems. They’ve on on the offensive by taking over Earth!

So can Shepard get the galaxy to finally unite under the Reaper threat, or will the Council races use this as a perfect excuse to rid themselves of the human “problem” once and for all since the Reapers don’t seem to be interested in anyone else. (As Shepard may remind them: “Yet”.)

Based on the popular British platformer series of the same name, The Fantastic Adventures of Dizzy is one of those games where it’s difficult to place in one genre. Playing as the title character, a walking, talking egg who is a member of the Yolkfolk, you set out to stop the evil wizard Zaks, who has kidnapped your girlfriend Daisy and cast spells upon your fellow Yolkfolk. At first glance, it appears to be yet another me-too platforming collect-a-thon. However, the game instantly becomes much more, as you seek out items to progress and help the various NPCs., not unlike an adventure game You’ll even come across a few minigames on your quest. There were a few issues with the game, not the least of which is the the lack of a save system (on the NES at least), and game-killing bugs that get players stuck in a place and have to reset the game. Even so, Dizzy was a fun mashup of platforming, puzzle, and adventure gaming. Maybe one day, we can see a current-gen console update. Until then, this cartridge is a rare find,

Conan’s new show is filmed on the Warner Bros lot, and that means he’s on the same campus where DC Entertainment is run. In this bit from his December 9th show, Conan sits down with Warner Bros Animation Creative Director Peter Girardi to grill him about some of the less awesome characters from the DC Universe.

Conan then joins Bruce Timm, character designer from Batman The Animated series and producer of many DC animated works that came after (Including the upcoming Green Lantern series). Timm takes direction on turning the host into a character worthy of joining the DC Universe, The Flaming C.

It looks like the latest issue of Toyfare not only revealed the April 2011 figure for MOTU Classics, but it also featured the Destroyer figure from the upcoming 3 3/4 inch Thor movie line. It is in scale with the other figures, meaning it is significantly larger. The issue also shows some of the other figures from this line and the Captain America movie line that we had already seen at NYCC this year.
As posable as that Thor figure looks, he seems to only be able to stand thanks to his cape. I’m curious how well balanced he is when posted standing straight up. Destroyer looks pretty solid all around.
