Keiji Inafune Crowd-funding Mega Man Spiritual Successor

Posted by Travis Goss - Saturday, August 31, 2013
More proof in which Mega Man is "Mega Dead." As a fan of Mega Man, I have to say I am just as angry as most fans of the Blue Bomber who feel in which Capcom has completely abandoned a gaming icon in favor of "survival-horror" and non-stop updates to popular arcade-style fighting games. Fans have been begging and pleading with Capcom to revive Mega Man and bring him back to his former glory. Apart from licensing the character to appear...
did you heer the nooz? LOL Kathleen Turner has officially joined the much-anticipated by some sequel "Dumb & Dumber To". She turned a comedy performance on "Friends" as Chandler Bing's father and I think we all remember her from Roger Rabbit (as the voice we muted while watching that first showgirl scene over and over). * SPOILER * Reports confirm she will be playing the infamous Fraida Feltcher, mentioned in part one as the one...

As I'm sitting here watching a video made by a very good friend and fellow writer, I am in nothing but agreement with him about Anita Sarkeesian. Now, this woman is the epitome of feminism. She has made a video, here: She talks about how women are misrepresented in video games and that there is an extreme sexist view of both women and gaming in general. Now, I agree that in some video games women are made out to be a very sexually oriented,...
Gaming journalism and pop culture criticism have become commonplace in this day and age with the plethora of YouTube critics, blogs and internet articles such as this one. However, there are differences. Most gaming critics such as James Rolf (Angry Video Game Nerd) and Doug Walker (Nostalgia Critic) who give criticism with a more entertaining format still manage to research their core subjects. Anita Sarkeesian, the individual behind...
Many of us here at FBA also double as wrestling marks, myself not the least of which. So for my Wipeout of the Week this week I dug into the wrestling archives to find one of the most hilarious spills I could. YES!!! Defying the laws of physics is no odd thing for wrestlers. But I've never seen someone ignore gravity in such a manner. The pain that this poor man must have felt. What did his face look like after the slide? Heck, what...

Actor James Spader will be portraying Ultron in the upcoming Avengers sequel The Avengers: Age of Ultron coming to theatres May 1, 2015. Spader, who has starred in various roles over the years including Boston Legal and Stargate is typically a comedic performer (though he was nominated for a Screen Actors Guild Award for Lincoln last year) who just happens to be a friend of Robert Downey Jr's. Needless to say, it's expected that he will...

Nintendo has confirmed the release date for The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds, and Mario Party: Island Tour, two highly anticipated games for the Nintendo 3DS.

Posted by Anthony Mango
Want to know what happened the past few days in nerd culture? WEEK IN GEEK is your quick fix to catch up with the rest of the fanboys out there. MOVIES Joss Whedon spoke on what he dislikes about The Empire Strikes Back, saying: "Empire committed the cardinal sin of not actually ending, which at the time I was appalled by and I still think it was a terrible idea." He claims he wants a full experience with an actual end and not something...

OUYA to Pay Out Serious Bucks to 2 Sham Kickstarters

Posted by Unknown - Tuesday, August 27, 2013
Put in place to support industrious small development teams and secure console-exclusives, OUYA's Free the Games fund is a great opportunity just waiting to be seized. All a game developer has to do is create a Kickstarter branded with #FreeTheGames, secure at least $50,000 in funding, and OUYA will double the earnings in exchange for six months of exclusivity. Most attempts have fizzled out before the 20% mark, but recently two Kickstarters,...

To kick of the inaugural YouTube spotlight I travel up the NJ Turnpike to find a young aspiring voice actress Anna Brisbin or as many of us among the geeky internet community know her as BrizzyVoices.  This beautiful young YouTuber...
I am sure by now, some of you have watched this year's MTV Video Music Awards and witnessed one of the craziest, most disturbing things to happen in the channel's 32-year history: Justin Timberlake winning the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. I nearly jumped out of my seat when I saw it happen. Yeah, you know I am full of crap. Obviously, I am referring to the infamous performance by the former Hannah Montana actress, Miley Cyrus....

Breaking Bad: "Confessions" Review

Posted by Ronnie Brown - Sunday, August 25, 2013
As I start typing this, my heart rate is still elevated and I'm so angry that we have to wait until next week for the next episode. By now you all know the drill. Blah blah blah spoiler alert blah blah. So let's dive in. Holy. Shit. I'm gonna start with the ending here. In season 5A Mike referred to Walt as the time bomb- and he kind of was when he killed Mike in a moment of pride and anger- but that was nothing compared to the bomb...
The world of video games over the passed few years has become more of an accepted medium in terms of storytelling, and has a culture and history as rich as many other forms of entertainment. Just as in the movie industry, there have been several games that have pushed the boundaries of the art form and transcended generations and characters that have become identifiable with the culture of gaming. I like to consider myself both a gaming...

It's hard to watch the Pegg/Frost films without instantly comparing each to their preceding release (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Paul, etc) and comparing jokes, plot lines, and acting styles. So don't! Just sit back and enjoy. This movie is one of the top of the series with probably the most refreshingly unique characters for Pegg and Frost. Whatcha' think?....Pub? These are definitely a series of films that almost literally ask you...
