RiffTrax Live 2018 is Bringing Us Space Mutiny & KRULL

The day has come!  RiffTrax has announced their slate of shows for 2018, and it looks like we are in for a couple of great evenings of entertainment!

On June 14, we are getting a new riff of the MST3K classic Space Mutiny, and on August 23, we will be getting a riff of the sci-fi classic KRULL(a movie I liked a lot as a kid, but I watched it again a few years back and wow is it bad).

This is the sixth Kickstarter for RiffTrax, and each of the previous five have gone far above and beyond their goals. They always add in some outstanding stretch goals, and this year is bound to be no different.

Also, as something new this year, if you are a Driptraxian, you can get some special rewards from backing this!

So, pledge early, and pledge high, and you can proudly say "I MADE THIS!"

Bottom Shelf Mixology: Malortini

Welcome to Bottom Shelf Mixology™!  We have racked our brains (and our livers) to come up with special "bottom shelf" versions of popular drinks, and some original creations that range from "oh, that might be interesting" to "that sounds absolutely disgusting".  

Malortini (a.k.a. Dumpster Juice)

• 2 oz Five O'Clock Gin
• .5 oz Malort
• .5 oz Olive Juice
• 1 Olive
• 1 can Store Brand Spray American Cheese
• Ice

First, you want to take the pimento out of your olive, and then insert the nozzle of the spray cheese can, and slowly fill it.  If you do it too quickly, you will end up with an olive flying across the room.  Put the cheese product filled olive in your glass.

With some ice in your shaker, add in the gin, Malort, and olive juice.  Shake vigorously for fifteen seconds.

Strain it into your glass, try out your best (or worse) Sean Connery impersonation, and then slam it down.

5 Nintendo Wii Games That Deserve A Remake Or Sequel On The Nintendo Switch

During one of my recent daily commutes home from work, I started thinking about Wii games that I haven't played in a while.  That turned into me thinking about the games that I would want to see either a remake of, or sequel to, on the Nintendo Switch.

These are all pretty niche titles, but I think they would do good with some new life breathed into them on the Switch.

These are in no particular order.

My Nintendo Bringing Switch Rewards In March

Yes, starting in March, you will finally be able to redeem your Gold Points for digital Nintendo Switch games!

Details are sparse, but it sounds as though you will be able to use the points to straight up get games, much like the way they currently offer a handful of 3DS and Wii U titles.

They have promised more information soon.  Until then, you can read the announcement below.

Space Dave - Nintendo Switch (Review)

Space Dave (Switch)
Developer: Choice Provisions
Publisher: Choice Provisions
Price: $9.99

Take a dash of Galaga, a pinch of bullet hell shumps, throw in Dave Lonuts, a teaspoon of hand cramps, and finish it off with a dash of crack.  That is the recipe for Space Dave, the newest game from Choice Provisions.

Space Dave is the sequel to Woah Dave!, the frantic retro arcade game from 2014.  I purchased Woah Dave! on the 3DS the day it was released, and it was (and still is) a fun game to break out whenever you have a minute or two to spare.  I was never able to get very far in a game, but I found it to be more fun than frustrating.

Space Dave is just as frantic, fun, and frustrating as it's predecessor, and I am totally hooked.
