ShezCrafti on Saturday Morning Central Podcast #1 — Blame It On The Kraang

Awe­some stuff. Keep it up

I’m lis­ten­ing to it now and I keep want­ing to com­ment on things before I remem­ber that it’s sev­eral weeks old.

Over the last, prob­a­bly 8 or 9 months, I’ve rewatched the entire orig­i­nal series, watched the entire 2003 series for the first time and I’m cur­rently up to the last vol­ume of the Mirage comics. I’m sort of in full TMNT sat­u­ra­tion mode.

Oh yeah, I rewatched Next Muta­tion on Net­flix a while ago to, but that’s not important.

That would be a lot of fun actu­ally. I’ve never done a pod­cast, but I’d be will­ing to give it shot.

This was only my sec­ond time doing one, ever. You just need Skype and a will­ing­ness to com­pletely geek out over stuff, and since it’d be TMNT, some­thing tells me you’d be great at it.

OK, last com­ment. I just fin­ished the pod­cast and I have two things to say:

First, I have been imag­in­ing a Bat­man: Arkham City style TMNT video game since I was a kid, dark and gritty and sim­i­lar in com­bat style. Con­sid­er­ing this is a kids show it prob­a­bly won’t be so dark, but have you ever played Project Eden? I could see a great TMNT game using that as a base.

Sec­ond, you said you’d never seen the old school role­play­ing sets. Well here you go. This is me circa prob­a­bly 1990. It came with the mask, elbow pads (with TMNT logo on them), belt and weapons. I know I had some of the other sets, but I don’t remem­ber who. I do remem­ber that it always both­ered me a lot that Donatello’s staff was green.

I think it’s safe to say there will be plenty of TMNT-themed episodes of SMC, so we’d love to have you on Wesley :)

Awe­some­sauce!

Back in Feb­ru­ary there was some false hope that Rock­steady was work­ing on a TMNT game in the vein of Arkham City. I posted it here –> http://shezcrafti.com/rumor-is-rocksteady-working-on-a-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-game/ But the news turned out to be a rumor, and I just haven’t had the same bounce in my step ever since.

I must have been too old when those sets came out or some­thing because I can’t remem­ber them. Or it might have been that my mom hid stuff like that from me, because they’re what she con­sid­ers “boy toys.” She highly dis­ap­proved of my video games and comic books and refused to buy me TMNT action fig­ures even though I always put them on my Christ­mas & birth­day wish lists, which is why I never had a very large col­lec­tion of them. I think she was afraid I’d turn out to be a les­bian or something.
