Wha' Happened: The Network Roundup (3/9/12)

Wha' Happened: The Network Roundup (3/9/12) photo


Today I was going to try to tie all the posts from around the Modern Method network together with some kind of theme. So before writing this I went around and collected everything that caught my eye and then stared at it for some sort of overarching connection. Then I stared some more. Then a little more. Nothing was coming to me so I gave up. I'll try again on Monday to not be completely random.

Of course random doesn't mean that there isn't good reading to be had. Dive in below to see what else is going on outside of the world of toys.

Flixist

Reviews: John Carter, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Silent House
The Joss Whedon produced Cabin in the Woods is the best horror movie in years.
Cult Club: Tideland. Taking a look at the modern day cult film by Terry Gilliam.

Destructoid

An interesting look at how review scores affect game sales. I wouldn't have thought they mattered as much.
The five things that make a great game. They left off featuring Mr. Destructoid in the game for some reason.
GAME about to go bankrupt.

Japanator

A look at Vol. 3 and 4 of Fairy Tale. A kickass anime.
Go West! Week Seven. More Japanese games that I'll sadly never play.
Japanator Recommends: A Letter to Momo. Sounds like I need to find a copy of this stat.

Wha' Happened: Spinach Festival Day

I have to admit I am not a big fan of spinach. Despite the repeated attempted brainwashings by the nefarious sailor Popeye and his animated antics I never came over to the cult of Spinach. It's just so mushy and gross w...

Wha' Happened: National Goof-off Day

Sometimes I'm upset that I do these posts at night because I don't realize that the day is some holiday and thus I don't celebrate it. Today I totally missed my chance to goof-off at work all day without getting in trouble...

Wha' Happened: National French Bread Day

French bread is by far the best kind of bread. Slather some butter on that baby and you've got a simple tasty snack that's as long as a yard stick. Sure, there's garlic bread and banana nut bed, but those don't stand on...

Wha' Happened: Extraterrestrial Abductions Day

An entire day for the celebration of alien abductions? I mean, I guess so. I kind of wonder how people celebrate this holiday. Do they go out and stand in a field hoping to be taken up to the stars? Does the family gath...

Wha' Happened: National Poultry Day

Hurray for chickens! Aren't they just delicious and everything tastes like them. Fried, grilled or diced up and compressed into a nugget form they just keep on giving. But let's not forget that there is so much more to...

Wha' Happened: Niero's Birthday

What? The birthday of this entire wonderful network's founder is totally a holiday. You wait and see. 100 years from now we'll all be getting this day off in celebration. Also, we will be living a lot longer so that we can...

Wha' Happened: National Everything You Know Is Wrong Day

I'm not making these holidays up. According to Hallmark, the people who make holidays up professionally, every holiday I put here is totally real. Of course since today is National Everything You Know is Wrong Day and y...

Wha' Happened: National Pi Day

You know it's mighty disrespectful to the flaky crust and fruity filling of pies everywhere that everyone seems to be spelling the name of the holiday that recognizes them wrong. Nah, I'm just kidding. I know all about Pi a...

Wha' Happened: Earmuff Day

Yea, you heard right. It's Earmuff Day... or it was. I'm a bit late today so the holiday is technically over in some places, but that shouldn't keep everyone from wearing some earmuffs despite the unseasonably warm weat...

Wha' Happened: National Alfred Hitchcock Day

Did you know today was National Alfred Hitchcock Day? I had no clue, but it's inspired me to rename this feature so that each day we learn of an awesome new holiday such as this. I mean without this day would have stopp...
