LUCKY LOUIE is the one of the best show I've ever seen on TV. It features Louis CK, Mike Hagerty and the amazing Jim Norton. It's the only show where we can ear a five year's old kid being called a "fucking asshole." It's on HBO, every Monday at 10:00pm. Let's hope they'll pick up a second season.

Ouendan is an amazing rhythm game on the Nintendo DS that was released in mid 2005 in Japan. Made by Inis (the brilliant game creators behind Gitaroo Man), Ouendan has you tap buttons, follow tracks, and spin wheels to the rhythm of silly Japanese Pop songs. The entire vibe of the game has a very engaging off kilter Japanese feel. The main characters of the game are a band of male cheerleaders that cheer on a variety of people in the hopes of having them overcome absurd obstacles. The scenarios are always inventive yet hilarious and, even those unfamiliar with Japanese will be able to understand the jist of every story through the hilarious narrative art. Although Japanese sales for Ouendan were disappointing, the international following was large enough to garner an English sequel called Elite Beat Agents. Both games are great, but I found the Ouendan song selection to be a bit more refreshing. If you have any interest in picking up something wacky and fun on your Nintendo DS I strongly urge you to pick up one of these games. Elite Beat Agents is widely available in the US. Ouendan is still fairly easy to pick up at your favorite videogame import store.

Q Entertainment is a Japanese-based video game producer founded and overseen by Tetsuya Mizuguchi. Since his days as one of the lead developers at Sega, Mizuguchi has been regarded as one of the leading visionaries in the videogame field. He experiments with ways of melding videogame play mechanics, visual abstraction, and music. Every Extend Extra is Q Entertainment’s latest product of such experimentation. In this PSP game you navigate a bomb. You must skillfully position your bomb in locations where your detonation can create chain reactions of explosions. This is a beautiful game that must be played to truly be appreciated!

Before Silver Age Comics (see my previous post) there was Golden Age Comics (1938-1955). If you wish a complete review of this period, read Wikipedia. If you click here, you will discover an impressive gallery of Golden Age covers. Don’t miss the Crime & Horror chapter.

Whatever Jimmy Pantera is saying, the best illustrator in the world is James Bama. FLESK PUBLICATION just released JAMES BAMA, AMERICAN REALIST. A beautiful book where we can finally see his unbelievable work on the DOC SAVAGE series. Check it out.
