The Mouse of Survival Horror

Okay... okay... this is amazing.

Disney's Japanese parks are known for being some of the best theme parks in the world, specifically DisneySea. Their version of the Tower of Terror has always looked to be a high-caliber effort, but then there's this promo video made for the ride that's just chef's kiss.

Admittedly, I'm a fan of older '90s video game 3D animation, but the PS1 cutscene look of this production is just... man.

I'm at a loss for words, and this is another one of those times I'm just showing you something awesome.

Happy Halloween.

That's Mr. Donuts, like my father

I love donuts. When I've had a hard night at work, stopping by my local Frazier's for a Mountain Dew Zero and a donut is just the thing. Big chain, local joint, or even a grocery store bakery. I don't care where it's from. I love 'em. Of course special occasions are extra fun and most donut places do something awesome for the spooky season. It warms my heart remembering those old visits to Dunkin Donuts and getting a dozen of their annual Halloween donuts. I often find myself wishing that I had access to cool things from Japan. Like these awesome Halloween donuts from Mr. Donuts. Just look at that damn jack o' lantern one. I'd be just right with a warm cup of pumpkin spice.

Beware of the Terror House!

I'm mostly aware of Takeshi Kitano from Most Extreme Elimination Challenge, a funny dub job of the show Takeshi's Castle that was on in my early 20's. I still watch it regularly and it introduced me to Takeshi Kitano. Who's been in so many things... it's hard to list them all. It's no wonder why Bandai asked him to help sell their line of handheld LCD games in 1982, he's a big star. This one in particular is perfect for a spooky night with a horror marathon on in the background. Or something creepy to do in between handing out candy to kids on Halloween night.  Known here as Terror House and in Japan as Akuryo no Yakata, the game has some pretty great spooky graphics. I kinda want to play it right now.

Mortal Kombat!!!! (you have to yell it)

I've talked about that college job at Office Max here before. I took advantage of the copy center to make an enlarged diagram of all the special moves in Mortal Kombat Trilogy. It came in handy.

Hello Halloween

For some reason, fast food just goes with Halloween. McDonald's, the epitome of fast food, has always been right there each spooky season. The shake machine may never work, but they got your back for an awesome Halloween Happy Meal. This one is particular... dang, it's pretty cool. Hello Kitty and her gang are impossible not to love and these little figures are ready to go trick or treating. I don't have any jokes... this is pretty great.

Weekly Halloween~ Around the Corner

With Halfway 2 Halloween over on the site, I guess it's time to get back to normal for awhile. It's not fall, it's spring... not quite Halloween. Halfway to summer too. Summer is when Halloween truly rears it's head as the alarm is sounded... Code Orange. Soon enough there'll be little sneaks and peaks of the spooky season as it slowly makes it's ways into stores. Some will outright start stocking in summer for the Great Pumpkin's arrival...others will slowly filter it in before their onslaught of orange. Until then, everyday is Halloween on Zone Base.

May the 4th Be With You

Replay: It's Monday

It's Monday yet again, and that means a new week on Planet Zone! This weekend we celebrated Easter. I had a basket full of goodies for my wife and she had an egg search planned for me. She filled 40 eggs with Botbots and Million Warriors that I had to find. There was even a TMNT minifigure in the mix. It was certainly a fun morning. 

Saturday was a cold and rainy day. A trip to Walmart resulted in Koopa Para Troopa, Toad, and Princess Peach from Super Mario mini world. I wanted to watch the Super Mario Bros movie, but didn't have time. I hope to see it soon, but frankly, it may be one of the movies that holds out for in demand. Seeing as their on apps within 45 days, it's not to hard to be patient. I did spend a good deal playing various pinball games on my Q90. Devil's Crush, Pokémon Pinball, and Pinball of the Dead were a lot of fun.

I still haven't found any Rise of the Beasts toys, it looks like my stores are following street dates. Somehow the same folks who have stuff given to them by big companies are getting them early. Funny how that works. This little podunk site works for everything and just renewed site registration for another year without a single ad or donation request. Thanks to each and everyone of you for reading Zone Base. I know it's not one of those big fancy sites, but it appreciates you reading. I've got a fun week in store. If you like what I do, please share with your friends! It's literally all I ask!
