Spanish fans, your help please
Posted on March 31, 2008
On the off chance that someone reading this knows anything about Valencia, Spain, a little help please - what is this store? Stay-puft on the sign, Ghostbusters graffiti on the shutters… awesome!
[update] “Ochentas” means “80s” in Spanish, so one would imagine a store selling retro tees, maybe collectibles, etc. Thanks Pat!

“Come in… Ray…”
Posted on March 27, 2008
Sorry for the slow posting the last couple of weeks - March was exceptionally hectic. However, I’m working to catch up, starting with the two below. Also, just for kicks, anyone that likes a good Avenger’s read should pick up this week’s New Avengers. Skrulls and mc chris. ’nuff said. And thanks to Dustin - it’s not every day you see a Ghostbusters 2 reference.

Play.com Live wrap-up
Posted on March 27, 2008
I’ve been meaning to direct people over to this thread that Kingpin put together - he’s been gathering various photos and people’s reactions to the showing. Short version - people were hoping for more to see, there was a giant Stay Puft in the parking lot, and the Sierra reps got kick-ass jackets. But don’t take my word for it. Check it out yourself.

More Mignola Ghostbusters
Posted on March 27, 2008
Jason keeps on truckin’ with his series of Mike “Hellboy” Mignola-style Ghostbusters, this time with a really bad-ass Winston! All the Winston snaps (and the pictures for the earlier figures - Slimer, Egon, and Ray) can be found here. That just leaves Peter, to complete the foursome (fivesome, if you want to count the spud.) Is that it then? Nope. Jason says he has a few more figures to add to the series up his sleeve.

We Are Legion: The mc chris interview
Posted on March 18, 2008
Like everybody that grew up in the 80s, mc chris has a special place in his heart for Ghostbusters. And GI Joe. And comics. And hip-hop. Unlike everybody that grew up in the 80s, Chris figured out how to put them all together and get paid in full.
Even if this is the first time you’ve heard of the mc chris you have seen his work before. As an animator, writer, and actor on Sealab 2021, Chris helped build the cartoon juggernaut that is Adult Swim. Then in the middle of all this, he lent his lyrical flow to not one, but two different Adult Swim shows - first as himself (though unseen) performing Fett’s Vette on Sealab and then again as MC Peepants on Aqua Teen Hunger Force.
It was the strong fan reaction to those songs that led Chris to ditch the day job, bet it all on rap, and spin the wheel. 8 years later, the gamble worked and his power has grown huge as he tours regularly, is just about to release his sixth album, and is getting props from Marvel superheroes.
If he gets any stronger, he may have to be stopped.
mc chris took a moment to talk to Proton Charging about movies, comics, music, life, and how the Oakland hip-hop scene is the reason his zombie-themed album doesn’t reference Ghostbusters.

Do you believe in zombies…?
Posted on March 16, 2008
I mention the release of this miniatures game, Red Ops 5, for only a few reasons;
1) I like zombies
2) I like miniature games
3) My friend did the cover
4) I’m on the cover (hint: I’m not alive)

UK gamers report from Wembley
Posted on March 15, 2008
People who got to attend the Play.com Live event at Wembley stadium are starting to post their reports and pictures - first up is Matt, who got a picture of the game’s booth (where attendees got to watch a trailer of gameplay, not actually play the game) and a lot of pictures of the giant inflatable Stay-Puft and local near-replica of the Ecto-1. Thanks, Matt.

Last of the 88mph posters at Graham Crackers
Posted on March 13, 2008
Originally printed for the San Diego Comic Con to promote the Ghostbusters comic mini-series, the last of these posters (not signed) are for sale at Graham Cracker Comics. They are $11.99 plus shipping and handling - sadly, they are available in the US only. However, GC has the posters, so orders will be honored, no fear. Thanks to Miles for the heads up.

Rocky Mountain Ecto needs your votes
Posted on March 13, 2008
Remember the Ecto-1K (a GB-suped Subaru)? Well, the Denver Fox channel has included it in their Coolest Car in Colorado contest… and thus far, it’s kicking ass. With a 4.5 average out of 5 (the other’s haven’t broken 3) it’s the clear leader. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take a moment to vote for it.
Boomer, if you win, I demand you post the video for us to see!
