A Little Bit On The Watchmen Side: After months of rumors and leaks, DC Comics officially announced the Before Watchmen series of prequels. There will be eight titles that include Rorschach, Comedian, Minutemen, Silk Spectre, Doctor Manhattan, Nite Owl, Ozymandias, and Before Watchmen: Epilogue. Here’s hoping that they’ll be more like the X-Men: First Class prequel rather than the Star Wars prequel trilogy.

A Little Bit on the Dick Side: Apparently, someone has stumbled upon a prototype of Resident Evil for Gameboy Color. He’s pledging to dump and upload the ROM of the cartridge if he is paid a cumulative $2,000 by interested gamers. Maybe I just come from a community of idealist gamers, but charging to release a proto is plain low.
Just last week, a prototype of a long lost Neo Geo game, The Last Odyssey, was released by a member of the Neo Geo community. What did he ask for in return? Absolutely nothing. And a Neo proto is whole hell of a lot more valuable than a Gameboy Color proto.
I know it’s common practice, but there are plenty of people in the proto-collecting scene that release without asking for anything. Screw these dudes who charge to release a proto.

A Little Bit on the OMG It’s a New Arcade Shmup Side: Just when you thought Cave was ready to - uh - cave, they announce that their mystery game, DoDonPachi Saidaiohjou is indeed a new arcade shooter. The game will be location tested in the near future and hit the arcades at some point later in the year. Hopefully there will be a 360 port, but I don’t think we’ll hear anything about that for several months at the least.

A Little Bit on the Mushihime-Sama Side: Today, Cave announced that they’re creating a high def update to their 2004 shooter. The game was previously ported from the arcade to the PS2, but not by Cave themselves. This is a must-buy for any Cave or shoot ‘em up fan. Hopefully it’s a full physical release rather than a download. A release date will be announced soon.
In other Mushi-flavored news, the Xbox 360 upgrade of the game’s sequel, Mushihime-Sama Futari, will hit Games on Demand next month.

A Little Bit On The Nice Fucking Shoes Side: These classy leather lace-ups from Japanese brand Undercover have ‘Fuck The Past’ and ‘Fuck The Future’ embroidered on them. Basically just a subtle way to let the world know you’re a classy bro. We just wouldn’t recommend wearing them to a job interview, but then again, if you’re hitting up job interviews, there’s a chance you can’t afford these puppies. They’l set you back ¥ 58,800 which is about $766. Yeesh!
