Better late than never?

A few days before the American Thanksgiving holiday we recorded a podcast talking about the Wii U and shared some Thanksgiving and Black Friday stories.

Unfortunatly due to some kind of recording error (likely I forgot to hit a button to save) we lost the second half of the show. All that survives really is most of the Wii U stuff. Sorry!

We will try harder next time, I promise.

In 1981, Marvel published Chris Claremont and John Bryne’s classic tale, “Days of Future Past”. The storyline depicted an alternate future in which mutants and superhumans were rounded up and sent to internment camps before being slain. The storyline was ranked among the franchise’s best storylines, and the dystopia represents everything that the X-men were fighting to prevent.

Alternate time lines and parallel universes are a common trope in sci-fi and fantasy, none moreso than Marvel comics. Like DoFP, Marvel’s alternate universes have produced some of the company’s best stories. They’ve even published several series centered around them such as What If and Exiles. Here are 5 classic alternate realities from the House of Ideas.

These games are $20 or less year round, so there isn’t any need for you to get up early, camp out, or get into store brawls over cheap blu-ray players. These games are downloadable, so you don’t even got to leave the house. We call it Green Everyday, because you save green everyday! Now click below and check out some cheap goodness.

This week as you know, is Thanksgiving. The day after of course, is Black Friday. So the day after you spend a day being thankful for the things you got, you’ll no doubt spend cash on things you don’t need. Many of you however will loathe this event, either because you wish to show solidarity with the retail worker strikers, you’re low on cash, or you wish to avoid the insanity of the frenzied crowds. Even so, you’ll be envious of the deals that you could be cashing in on. Fear not, ya boys at Powet got your back. We got two editions of $20 GOTW coming this week. These games, as always are either at or below the $20 mark year round, so there is no need to get up early, stand in line, or fight through crowds. Matter of fact, you can cash in on them now. These games are downloadable and/or can be ordered from all major online retailers, so there is no need to leave the house. I’m gonna call this, Green Everyday. You’re welcome by the way.

The Venture Bros is a show that many of this site’s faithful are very familiar with. A spoof on the old Johnny Quest adventures, The Venture Bros turned into something so much more than its origins. A wild and varied mix of characters breath life into this comedy. The show creators will tell you that the show is about failure. And while the biggest failure of all is Rusty Venture, the villains of the show prop him up on that pedestal with their own failings and infighting. Today, we look at the Top 5 Venture Bros villains!
