thehefnerI... it...
Until ten minutes ago, I had never heard of the band Europe, nor their hit song "The Final Countdown."
Dear sweet fucking lord. I need to film a montage to that song. Perhaps for a film about a 1987 gamer training mind, body, and soul for a Mega Man 2 death-match tournament. It'd be like a combination of a Bruce Lee/Van Damme flick, KARATE KID, and THE WIZARD.
I can't stop laughing as I listen to this song. I can't. It's utter brilliance.
Seriously, in terms of pure montage potential, it's up there with "Gonna Fly Now," "Eye of the Tiger," "Push it to the Limit," and the downright brilliant fake trailer for the PUNCH-OUT! movie.
Which reminds me: old-school NES fans, rejoice. The PUNCH-OUT guys have returned.
With CONTRA.
Not as utterly fantastic as PUNCH-OUT, but I anxiously await their new offerings. GIVE HIM ZE UPPERCUT! ZE UPPERCUT!!!
Finally, CRACKED continues to inexplicably prove itself as a must-read website with features like the following:
The Five Biggest Badass Popes.
The Six Most Terrifying Foods in the World
And once again, for the sake of posterity: Introducing the Larry Holmes Grillmaster XL. Which I still cannot read with a straight face.

(Psst: if it does, no worries, I'm quite comfortable just nerding it up about comics and whatnot, too.)

A happy combination of the two is my personal favorite.
