N64 Library On NSO Suddenly Three Games Richer
If it seems like Nintendo doesn’t update the N64 portion of their NSO library as often as the other categories, that’s because they don’t. The N64’s library simply wasn’t as large as that of their previous systems, the NES, SNES and Game Boy. But then you have moments like tonight, when five minutes into the Game Awards, Nintendo dropped THREE N64 games into NSO.

In “My Demon”, there is a demon named Jeong Gu-Won who hides his age well. By looking at him, you would not know that he was about 200 years old. That’s how long he has been making deals with humans. He grants their wishes and they can live the life they please for 10 years. When the time is up, they have to pay up, per the contract.

Budget Biomorphs: The Making of The Guyver Films Review
My passion for The Guyver is very close to that of O’Brien (though it did not drive me to write a book), in that I discovered the first film on the video rental store shelf in the early 90’s and was mesmerized by its unique blend of horror, comedy and choreographed violence. I had never seen anything like it and found myself renting it multiple times to share with friends.

IDW Bringing Its Titles To The Omnibus App
In case you haven’t checked in for a while, ComiXology is dead. The decay has been slow, so this might not surprise everyone, but allowing itself to be bought by Amazon was the biggest mistake it ever made. All ComiXology purchases have now been absorbed into Kindle, which no comics reader wants to use as its interface is buggy and awful for this sort of medium. This, essentially, means we have to start all over. A few new digital comics subscription services have sprung up in ComiXology’s wake, and though none have become dominant yet, the one called Omnibus just got a big lift. IDW announced today its library of titles will be accessible through the Omnibus app, effective immediately. “We are excited to partner with Omnibus and their new digital reading app,” says Tara McCrillis, IDW’s Co-Publisher. “We believe the hole ComiXology is leaving in the market is going to be filled with innovators like the Omnibus team. Our goal is to allow our fans to have access to our content in as many places as possible.” IDW’s comics include Sonic the Hedgehog, Transformers, Star Trek, The Rocketeer, Dungeons & Dragons, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (including the smash hit The Last Ronin), and many original stories with non-licensed characters. The deal also includes the titles from Top Shelf, the IDW subsidiary. There are now over 300 IDW comics on Omnibus, which isn’t quite as many as there were on ComiXology, but it’s a work in progress and the company says more will be added in the coming months. The Omnibus app is available on iPad and the web internationally. iPhone and Android versions are coming soon.
The Electric State RPG Launches Kickstarter Campaign
Free League once partnered with illustrator Simon Stålenhag to bring his book Tales From The Loop to life. The tabletop game became one of their biggest sellers, so why not try it again? Free League has announced a new RPG based on a different Stålenhag book, The Electric State. Its crowdfunding campaign launched on Kickstarter today and reached its goal in minutes. Both the book and game The Electric State are set in an alternate, post-apocalyptic 1997. In the storyline, a group of travelers are heading out on a journey through the ruins of America, littered with gigantic battle drones and discarded trash (I’d be more worried about the battle bots than the trash). In the game version, you and your friends will be playing those travelers. The Electric State RPG uses Free League’s Year Zero Engine and was written by Nils Hintze (Tales From the Loop RPG, The Walking Dead Universe RPG) in collaboration with Tomas Härenstam (Blade Runner RPG, Dragonbane, ALIEN RPG), Nils Karlén (Coriolis) and Mattias Johnsson Haake (Symbaroum). Johan Nohr (MÖRK BORG) will be providing graphic design and layouts. The digital edition of The Electric State costs a $24 pledge. The Standard Edition, which includes both physical and digital versions of the rulebook, costs $48. The Collector’s Edition runs $87 and includes a unique design exclusive to the Kickstarter. And today only, anyone who pledges to a tier with physical items in it will receive a free art print of the weird decayed Sonic-looking statue depicted on the book’s cover. Plus, all backers will receive access to the Alpha version of the RPG, to be sent out a few days after the campaign ends. You’ll also be seeing The Electric State on the big screen soon: Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown are set to star in a movie adaption directed by the Russo brothers (Avengers: Endgame). But you can be the first among your friends to know what it is through this game. The campaign will remain open for the next 14 days, closing down on December 20. Reserve your copy today!

House Of The Dragon Season 2 Teaser Released
Here’s the truth about House of the Dragon Season 2: in case you’re wondering how it got here so fast amidst so many Hollywood strikes, the answer is that it cheated. Season 2 was filmed last summer during the period when the writers were on strike but the actors weren’t yet. This may not be a good thing because most movies and TV shows tend to do revisions and edits to the story during the filming process. What works on paper may not always work in motion. During the previous writer’s strike in 2007, several studios pushed forward with scripts that were technically there but with no one to touch them up, and the results were things like Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and Heroes Season 2. Both series never recovered from those stinkers. Whether House of the Dragon is headed for the same fate, I couldn’t tell you. I’m just giving you a warning. The focus of Season 2 will be what was building up during Season 1: a civil war between the members of House Targaryen for control of the Iron Throne. Both have an arsenal of dragons they can unleash on each other. There were barely any dragons in the world during the original Game of Thrones, but in this prequel there are dozens. You ever wonder why? Because they tear each other apart during THIS conflict! Most of the cast from Season 1 will be returning for Season 2, minus the actors who played the young versions from the first few episodes. They’ll be joined by some new faces that include Clinton Liberty as Addam of Hull, Jamie Kenna as Ser Alfred Broome, Kieran Bew as Hugh, Tom Bennett as Ulf, Tom Taylor as Lord Cregan Stark, and Vincent Regan as Ser Rickard Thorne. The show is down one showrunner, however — Miguel Sapochnik has departed, leaving only Ryan Condal to run things. House of the Dragon Season 2 will premiere sometime this summer on Max.
