Story by Staff Writer “Shaft” Destro is listed as “Weapons Manufacturer” for his PMS and “Terrorist” for his SMS. Destro always adheres to a code of honor, which makes him a more fleshed out character versus a one-dimensional evil villain that just does things just to be evil. He will sell to the highest bidder, regardless if it is Cobra Command or some other group. His Iron Grenadiers will help the spread of war to further his arms deals.

In a surprising move, Nintendo has officially greenlit a live-action movie adaptation of their beloved franchise, The Legend of Zelda. For years, the gaming giant had been cautious about branching out into non-gaming media, given the less-than-stellar track record of video game adaptations. One notorious example is the universally panned live-action Super Mario Bros. film from years past. However, with the evolving landscape of the entertainment industry, Nintendo has become more receptive to collaborating with Hollywood to bring their cherished characters to life, driven by a deeper understanding of fans’…

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m taking a look at a G.I.Joe vehicle that is under appreciated in my opinion. The 1993 Mudbuster is a vehicle I never hear anything on. This is actually a really cool truck. The Vamp and Awe Striker are 2 molds that have been used time and time again and I think the Mudbuster mold would be really cool in olive green, Tiger Force, or Night Force colors. Even without the roll bars, guns, and the cow catcher on the front this makes a nice…

Hello everybody. The last couple weeks have been filled with some heart breaking losses so this week I’m talking about the song “We Didn’t Start the Fire”. Originally written by Billy Joel and released in 1989. Joel who had just turned 40 was talking to Sean Lennon, son of legendary Beatle John and Yoko Ono. Sean was saying how it was a tough time in the world to be 21. The conversation sparked and idea to show that each generation has its trials and tribulations. So began one of the…
