8-bit Cinema – Iron Man in 60 Seconds (Mega Man Style!)

by Howie Decker @HowardTheDeck

I know, there’s a lot going on in that headline- that’s because the premise of this video is a lot to digest. From Cinefix comes this marvelous 8-bit version of the first Iron Man movie – in 60 seconds – oh, and it looks like the NES game Mega Man. It’s like if they added […]

His name pretty much sums up how I feel about the entire MOTU franchise: Stinkor. Animals flee before him! Birds fall choking from […]
