![[Press Release] Twisted Pixel Delivers New Ms. Splosion Man Challenge For Valentine’s Day](http://pixelatedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Splode.png)
It’s been a while since the last one, but it seems Twisted Pixel will be hosting a new TMS Challenge for Ms. Splosion Man starting Valentine’s Day.
Titled “Shoot the Glass,” the third TMS Challenge will last through February 27th and involve, you guessed it, breaking several hidden glass panels as quickly as possible. However, there’s more to this challenge than just breaking glass in record time.
Developer Double Fine’s ambitious project to fund a new independent adventure game on Kickstarter raised a million dollars in one day.
They had hoped to raise $300,000. That took about eight hours. And there’s still thirty-one days to go.
What sort of project gets this much fan enthusiasm? Well, when the development team headed by Tim Schaefer promises both a classic-style point-and-click adventure game and the chance for Double Fine to produce a game largely free of outside corporate influence, the appeal is clear.
Well as Valentine’s Day approaches Leland and Spooky wanted to show their support for “Single Awareness Day” by doing a romantic comedy. But we do it up Movie Issues style, by taking you way back to 1984 to watch Dolly Parton teach Sylvester Stallone how to become a country western singer in the movie Rhinestone.

Yup. You read that all correct. A country western singer. Rambo sings, people!
So join us as we head down south on a rhinestone covered wagon and horse. Yee-haw!

This week Diablo III releases 100,000 additional beta keys, Soul Calibur V‘s marketing ploy is pretty transparent, Skyrim releases a creation kit and a Portal 2 reference, LadySnip3r blogs about the “either/or” categories that women who game are put into, and we take a look at how RPGs speak to women characters.
It’s officially the one-year anniversary of Comic Issues.
Join our heroes as they take on the past, reliving the funnier moments of Comic Issues. Also in this episode we hit up the Blind Question: where we each come up with a question for one of our heroes. Not to spoil the fun, but there are some pretty interesting prequel moments.
A single beautiful year ago 4 friends got together to record a podcast that was the essence of so many late night diner adventures together. By combining topical geek news stories, fantastical and impossible “what if” scenarios, and cutting wit that only friends could withstand, Comic Issues was born.
Now coming up on a full year of podcasting, the Comic Issues Crew are ready to celebrate the way only big timing geeks can: by talking on the Internet… to you!
This Friday, February 10th at 6:00 pm PST, Darran, Daryck, Andrew, and Anthony are going LIVE before your eyes for a Podcast Party! In thanks to all the listeners, the first podcast of the “New 52″ will be recorded with fan participation via U-Stream. Everyone is invited to watch, yes watch, the Crew live in action as all the jokes that have been “Good for radio” will finally be seen!
We will also be announcing the winner of our 1 Year Anniversary Contest!
We met with Able Planet at CES 2012 and got a quick preview of their upcoming BT400 True Fidelity® Bluetooth Sport Headset. Recently, Able Planet sent me a unit to test for myself.
The BT400 is an ultra-light, compact headset using Bluetooth for its audio connection. There are no other inputs aside from the port to charge the device via USB (included) or USB AC adapter (not included). After charging for three hours, the BT400 should last up to eight hours depending on which functions are in use: audio only, microphone, etc. When not in use, the BT400 can be folded up and stored in the included cloth bag.
The BT400 is expected to retail for $125 when released in March.
This week is just chock-full of celebration, as this Thursday at midnight marks the release of the 3D version of The Phantom Menace. We’ll be there at Edward’s Mira Mesa interviewing and talking with you the fans. In the spirit of Star Wars, our crew took on the challenge to draw your favorite Star Wars character.
Would you like to participate in the render? Send an email to comicissues@gmail.com with a drawing you made of your favorite Star Wars character. We’ll go ahead and post it up here for everyone to see.
Need something else to celebrate? How about our Comic Issues’s 1 Year Anniversary? We’ll be doing a LIVE UStream Podcast at 6pm PST, Friday February 10th. All are welcome to hang out and even participate in the show. Check back here for all the details.
Yesterday the ultimate team was assembled. Not the New York Giants sort of team; more the “Earth’s mightiest heroes” sort.
While John Stamos was certainly my favorite commercial, the Avengers certainly blew Battleship out of the water. Though Ant-Man sized at only thirty seconds long, the trailer was still impressive,showing our heroes ready to fight as one.
Harry Potter’s fought a lot of crazy stuff while at Hogwarts, but now school’s over and there’s no hocus pocus left to get him out of a jam.
Yeah I know The Woman in Black isn’t another Harry Potter sequel, but I can’t help it, Daniel Redcliffe has been Harry Potter for a decade. Now he’s on his own though without the support of Potter-Heads and his trusty wand. Can Daniel Redcliffe handle the leading role of this Gothic Horror?
Leland and Spooky from Movie Issues saw The Woman in Black and had this to say about it:
