Blatant Insubordination: Puppet Sex
Actually gave a formal response, which I thought was hilarious. The statement was something to the effect of: “They’re puppets. Get a life, you morons.” A blogger over at NewsFromMe.com wrote about the story with a BRILLIANT headline: “The Puppetry of the Penis.”But of course, I’ve got no room to say anything bad about people who want Bert and Ernie to be gay, because last week I was saying how great it was that Ultimate Spider-Man debates is: “Why don’t you just create NEW characters that are black, or Hispanic, or gay? Why do you have to change a pop cultural staple?” But you almost NEED to do that sort of thing. If you create a character specifically for the purpose of making him black or gay, then all you have is a token black or a token gay character. Yes, you can give him/her important things to do, but that doesn’t change the fact that they were added to the mix just to be black or gay. But if you change a Spider-Man, or a Bert and Ernie, to an extent that says: “We recognize that the world isn’t the way it was when this character was created. But now that it HAS changed, this important character is going to change in order to reflect the importance of the way society has evolved.”
In contrast, you can make the argument that changing a key character like that is simply another way of pandering for new audience members. In a sense you lose either way.
It’s all irrelevant, though. Anyone who actually thinks Sesame Street is going to make Bert and Ernie gay has a screw loose. This is the company that caved when a bunch of professional mommies complained about Katy Perry’s cleavage (the fact that Katy Perry couldn’t be bothered to clean it up a bit for a kid’s show is another story).

I guess it's an inside joke at that store that Kingdom Come Flash looks like a cherry Jolly Rancher or something. They have a similar bit for Lex Luthor when he's in his Orange Lantern armor from Blackest Night. Candy Luthor!
Diary of a Monster Rancher
Soundtrack album. Sure enough, out popped a monster, which I chose to name “Moon” for obvious reasons. Unfortunately, it was soon after this point that I realized that the memory card in my PS2 was, in fact, a PS2 memory card and not one for the PS1.
While starting over wasn’t something I cared to do, it did allow me to put the game to the test. I was curious as to whether the same monster would spawn from the same CD on a completely different play session. In order to get a monster from a CD, you must go to the game’s temple and, when prompted, open the system’s lid, remove the game disc, place a CD into the PlayStation for the game to read it, and then put the game disc back in the system. To my surprise, when I placed Sailor Moon: Super Best After you have your monster, you take it back to the ranch where you begin training it for battle. Each week, you can choose to train it in a way that will increase a certain stat or stats(life, power, speed, defense, skill, & intelligence), sometimes at the expense of other stats. These training sessions are just small cutscenes where you do nothing but watch the outcome. You monster’s performance determines the increase or decrease. There are times where your monster will even cheat during a training session, which requires you to scold it. One training session lasts one week in the game.
Another option for training your monster is to send it off to an “Errantry”, where they train your monster for you for a high price. There’s even a special monster that your monster can fight at these errantries. If your monster wins the fight, you get prize money. The risk is that this monster could potentially kill your monster. This was a risk I was not willing to take, so I went about training it myself.
Tournaments for monster battling are held every month. In these tournaments, monsters face off against each other in either elimination or round-robin matches. This is where the somewhat basic battle gameplay begins. You can instruct your monster to move forward or backwards and which of their four (or less) attacks to use. Attack effectiveness is largely dependent on the stats of both your monster and the opponent’s, as well as the monster’s condition (stressed, tired, etc.). Whether the monster actually does attack as instructed or not depends on its loyalty to you. If it isn’t very loyal, it will do “foolery” instead of a move. Another factor that decides if the monster attacks is something called the Guts meter.
