Opie and Anthony 'are no longer needed' at 92.3 K-ROCK in NYC as terrestrial radio drives another nail into its coffin. The station is making an insane format flip. From rock to "top 40" horse shit. 92.3 Now will feature over played drivel such as "Kanye West, Beyonce, Pink, Flo-Rida, Akon, Katy Perry and Justin Timberlake." You have to wonder what programming director would chose Katy Perry to be one of the "core artists" when she only has one popular album (featuring average reviews at best). Well that would be Dom Theodore who went on to prove he knows nothing about music,

For the first time in nearly 30 years, New York now has a choice for hit music," said Theodore.

According to Twice the long awaited* XM/Sirius merger is closer to approval from the FCC. Unfortunately they have decided to throw a wrench into the gears with a some bullshit additional requests...

The conditions would require the merged company to include HD Radio on any satellite radio product it subsidizes that also includes an AM/FM tuner, according to an Associated Press report. Stipulations would also include a six-year freeze on service fees and that Sirius and XM devote 25 percent of spectrum to minority and public-interest programming, said the AP. Adelstein’s staff could not confirm the conditions at press time.

Don S. Davis, best known in his roll as Major General George Hammond in the TV series Stargate SG-1 has passed. It occurred early on Sunday, June 29th due to a massive heart attack.

Even though it's not set to hit shelves until July 8th a leaked version has found it's way onto the internet.

That's right. There's a brand new Capcom VS arcade game. It sure did take a long time. I suppose they were listening to their fans. Now, we all know that there won't be a Marvel Vs Capcom 3 any time soon due to licensing issues. However, the new VS game is Tatsunoko vs Capcom Cross Generation of Heroes. Most of you are probably not familiar with Tatsunoko, at least not right away. Given other blog posts here at Otaku Revolution, I can safely assume this will be in your interests. Tatsunoko is responsible for some awesome anime series such as Macross, Casshern, Samurai Pizza Cats, Karas, Speed Racer, Video Girl Ai, and The Soul Taker among other series.

From Anime News Network:

The North American distributor Bandai Entertainment has announced at its New York Comic Con 2008 panel at 17:43 on Friday that it has licensed Hiroyuki Imaishi and Gainax's Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann robot anime series. Another distributor, ADV Films, had announced at Anime Expo 2007 in July that it had licensed this series. However, ADV Films then removed this series and many others from its catalog in January, and did not restore Gurren Lagann's place in its catalog when the other titles returned in February.

The story begins on a future Earth where people are forced to live in isolated underground villages. One boy uncovers a key to a robot, and the resulting adventures put him in the battles waging on the surface and lead him to the secrets behind humanity's new existence.

otakurevolution.net makes its return as an active domain. Brian transferred the domain over to me so that I could put it to good use. Well, better use than it was getting, anyway.

I'll be sure to cross-link over here as well, once I get a few updates to the main page done.
