    King Baby Duck Presents: The 2009 "Things I'll Never Look At the Same Way Again Thanks to Anime Boston's Hentai Dubbings"

    posted @ 5/30/2009 05:09:00 PM by King Baby Duck
    The following post may offend, and is quite possibly unsuitable for peoples under the age of 18. Wait...scratch that. It's definitely not suitable for the perverted youth.

    Yes, folks, it's that time of the year again. Bigger and badder at this year's Anime Boston was the ecchi-filled hilarity that we've all come to know as the Hentai Dubbings. For those that are unfamiliar with this event, Hentai Dubbings involve people coming up on stage and redubbing a scene from an anime that has people [censored] while they [censored] the [censored] and then sticking their [censored] in the [censored] [censored]. And then there's cake.

    Now that I've gone and explained the technique to everyone, let's take a look at the things from this year's event that I will never see the same way again!

    1. Deodorant - Hentai Dubbings host Dick Tripwire has created a brand-new deodorant spray made specifically to rid the stank from any gal's--

    Okay, I think that was a little bit unnecessary. Let's move on!
    2. Parker Posey - You've seen her in "Dazed and Confused" and "Scream 3," and now you can hear her with a techno background talking about her doing the nasty!
    3. Bill Cosby - The Cos + Hentai Readings = The most disgusting Jello Pudding Pops ever!
    4. Christopher Walken - We already know that Mr. Walken is a weird mofo, but nothing can prepare you for his interpretation of Tentacled Hellbeast Yaoi Hentai. Remember: it's not gay if you're killing them!
    5. Pikachu: No, this has nothing to do with Pikachu seiyuu Ikue Ōtani doing the hentai "Cool Devices." (Look it up. It's 100% true, and will scar your inner-child). A woman came up onstage dressed as Pikachu and proceeded to ad lib a lesbian scene. The bestiality line has begun to fade ever so disturbingly.
    6. Chewbacca - The Internet is for porn, and porn is for Wookies. Stealing the title from last year's king Chiyo-chan's father, everyone's favorite furry partner performed with another man onstage and spoke in ways that make legends bow to his presence.
    7. Ewoks - We all hate these furry bastards, so it's nice to see these hairy beasts were put in their place by Chewie.
    8. Light Sabers - PHALLUS SYMBOL!!!
    9. Death Star - What would be the equivalent for the term "phallus symbol" when it comes to the testicle area?
    10. Harrison Ford - Take a cue from Chewie's bitch, and do it like Han Solo!
    11. Mexicans - Not the Dirty Sanchez, but close enough.
    12. Jack Bauer - You know by the time he saves the world he'll still have another 12 hours to spare when he uses Cialis. I'm just saying...
    13. Candy - Last year Snickers and Necco Wafers were not to be seen the same way again. This year, every other candy ever made can no longer be looked at in the same light.
    14. Final Fantasy - Do you know why Cloud's sword is so huge? Send your hate mail my way!
    15. America's Funniest Home Videos - I wonder if the new and more awesome Bob Saget would be willing to do a XXX-rated version of his hit TV show. My guess is a firm "Hell yeah!"
    16. George Clooney - Maybe this one really doesn't count, since Clooney was seen building a sex machine in the hilarious "Burn After Reading." Nevertheless his reputation will never be looked in the same light after one of the dubbers came onstage and proceeded to do the "Full Tilt Boogie" with his costar.
    17. Giraffes - If you really want to make the mood ever so special, make the sound of a dying Giraffa camelopardalis. Yes, I used Latin. Yay I'm smart!

    That does it for this year. Now get your mind out of the gutter, and back into reality. On second thought: reality is being cruel right now. BACK TO THE GUTTER!!!

    Waiting For the Force to be Unleashed

    posted @ 7/17/2008 08:14:00 AM by Douceswild

    I've been waiting for Star wars: The Force Unleased ever since I saw the inital footage at E3 2007.

    Check out this Rancor battle gameplay shown at this year's E3. This is what Star wars Knights of the Old Repulic should have looked like. The force lift at the end is AWESOME!

    The Force Is Strong With This One

    posted @ 9/19/2007 11:04:00 PM by Ninjasistah
    It was bound to happen. Nay, it was destined since the dawn of the Wii for this moment to arrive. And now that it's been made official, I feel as though I am vindicated in my total geekfoolery for desiring it.

    What in the blooming, bloody, bleep am I talking about. I'm talking about being able to use the Wiimote as a lightsaber in a game. LucasArts announced today that in the upcoming Star Wars game: Star Wars: The Forced Unleased. Sure, the game is also going to be released on the XB-360 and PS3... but WiiSaber people. Need I say more?

    Really?

    The Saga Continues

    posted @ 3/06/2007 05:40:00 PM by Douceswild
    It’s that time again, people. I’ve got another one of my internet jewels to show you and this one is awesome. So what is it this time? Well let’s just say it’s part two and involves light sabers.

    If you can remember way back in December of last year, I found a video of two guys fighting with light sabers. These weren't just two kids flinging around sticks and making light sabers noises. These guys had choreographed fighting and special effects. For those of us who can’t remember anything before New Years Eve, here’s the link.

    The same two guys are back with part two of their battle. In my opinion, this one is even better and longer than the first one. I’m calling this installment to Douce's Jewels, A New Generation Born, Pt. 2.

    Enjoy!

    Light Sabers, Camera, and...Action!

    posted @ 12/11/2006 02:59:00 PM by Douceswild
    What do you get when you cross hardcore Star Wars fans with a camera and some special effects? If you think you know the answer or have no idea whatsoever, then brace yourself. This is one of Douce’s Jewels that will make your jaw drop wide open.

    If there’s one thing the internet has not been lacking in the past year or so, it’s Star Wars parody videos. They’ve ranged from kids pretending to be Jedi Knights while playing with sticks to parents dressing their asthmatic kids up in Darth Vadar costumes. We’ve laughed, cringed, and maybe even cried at some of the vids floating around but you ain’t seen nothing yet.

    I’m pretty sure that ESH has some Star Wars fans even though the recent trilogies did leave something to be desired. The storyline may not have been what we were expecting but you have to admit that the special effects were top notch. Some of us couldn’t wait for it to end and some of us screamed for more. After watching this video, I immediately dusted off the old light saber, threw on the Jedi robes, and continued my fight against the dark side.

    I’m calling this jewel Star Wars: A New Generation Born.

    Enjoy!

    A Star Wars Game That Doesn't Suck

    posted @ 9/21/2006 03:13:00 PM by Ninjasistah
    How absolutely novel an idea.

    I recently got a copy of a demo for Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and I have to say, it's actually fun.

    Now before you get all pissy with me understand the difference between "good" and "fun". The Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic games were good [actually they were very, very, good], but I didn't have "fun" playing them. I thought the sound effects were great, the characters were perfectly designed, and I felt like I was playing Star Wars; just like the game was designed to make me feel. But I didn't have fun playing it which is why I lost interest in it very quickly.

    I've tried both KOTOR games as well as the Jedi Academy game and again found myself displeased with the slow gameplay and pace of the story, so I moved on to a new game. With all the previous Star Wars games I had expressed leaving a bad taste in my mouth, I avoided the first Lego Star Wars game like it had rabies. From all the things I had read about various Star Wars games they were always falling short in some area that I just knew would piss me off. LucasArts tries hard, I know they do, but for me and millions of fans out there the games did not satisfy. If I am completely honest with you all, I would not have tried this demo if Evermore hadn't asked me my opinion on it last evening. Deciding his question deserved answering, I popped the PS2 demo disc in my console and waited for the game to load.

    As the opening music and screen made their appearance I found my old skepticism creeping up on me, and even though I wanted to be able to bring an unbiased opinion to the game, I'd be lying to you if I didn't fess up to this before I continue on. I was ready to be let down again, and initially I was. I found the controls to be the most awful I had ever used. Even when I wasn't touching the controller the characters would slink around and continue to move on me making nuance movements nearly impossible. I was about to stop playing completely when I remembered that I was using a wireless controller that I hadn't used in months. A quick power cycling and the controls started handling properly. Trust me, this makes a WHOLE lot of difference.

    Lego Star Wars II is just plain fun. It's kooky in its use of humor, for the true original trilogy nutball fanatic the game stays true to how we remember the movies. Han shot first, bitches! With the controller working properly I was able to jump, dodge and get my general inner Jedi on. The game lets you change between characters in your party. So you can be R2 for a moment in order to open some doors or interact with other computers or be Obi Wan to use some force skills on items. It all runs kinda seamlessly, one button for attack, one for jumping, one for character swapping, and the left side of the controller for movement... the way it should be. But it's the tongue in cheekiness [is that a word?] of the game that makes it enjoyable. This article would have been done hours ago but for the fact that I've been addicted to the demo for that long. By the time I finish this I will have added the XB360 version of the game to my Gamefly queue and as a result of my funtime pleasure having I am considering upgrading my account to the 3 game plan.

    Sure you can tweak your Lego Star Wars avatar as you like with body pieces you acquire through gameplay and whatnot, but that's not where the fun of the game lies. I think it's because it's simple, doesn't take itself seriously, and stays true to what fans of the original movie franchise enjoy is what makes this game one of those, "damn, I can't put it down" type of games. It's not super next-gen, it's Lego people fer crying out loud, but you should do yourself a favor and add this one to your queue.

    If for no other reason, get the game and share it with a Star Wars geek you know. Fun times will be had by all. Greedo Bombs...need I say more?
