Cary’s Top Five Video Game Clowns

turbohorseiconThe late summer, early fall time is what I like to call ‘fair and circus season.’ You don’t see them much anymore, but used to around this time of year, I would always see little travelling circuses and carnivals set up in the parking lots and open fields around town.

A Mappy Cartoon?!?

MAPPYICONA couple of months ago, I wrote a blog about a Bravoman cartoon. Bravoman was an old and obscure 2-D platformer by Namco about a super hero who could stretch his limbs. Shifty Look, a Web comic site, made some comics about Bravoman and other Namco characters, and they even made a high quality Web cartoon about Bravoman!
