When the earthquake hit Haiti, ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
help_haiti was created. With the earthquake in Chile, now help_chile has been created. A few of the entries are in Spanish as of the last time I looked, but the English sign-up page is here. I’m considering signing up later, with Ghostbusters or Doctor Who or with an offer of a time stamp to anything I’ve written.
The next season of Warehouse 13 begins on July 13th.
The Sarah Jane Adventures gets two more seasons.
Tim Burton is going to direct a movie where Abraham Lincoln is a vampire slayer. This sounds about as weird as Bonnie and Clyde vs. Dracula, and Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead. Sadly, I haven’t tracked those two down yet.
A Brief History of Comic Book Arcade Games. I remember in the late 80’s, very early 90’s I played a lot of the X-Men and Ninja Turtles games at Showbiz. After watching the clip of that first Ninja Turtles game, I believe I died a lot trying to save April from the room with flames in it.
With the first X-Men game listed, I was always Storm--or, if someone else had her, Nightcrawler. Other than those (the rest of which I’ve either never heard of or just barely heard of) and a few Atari games when I was really little (something with buckets of water and bombs—something else where a city slowly blew up) I didn’t play video games. Wait, no--I played something else at Movie Warehouse when I was 11, but I don't know what. It took a few weeks to get through, since I could only be there for an hour after school. Mortal Kombat or a game like that.
ETA: A search through Google and Wikipedia show that the arcade game was Street Fighter II, not Mortal Kombat.
