Sidemeat – 7th Slice
Lost is one of my favorite TV shows, but with such intricately woven storylines, it’s easy to spot things that have slipped through the cracks. I’ve grown more forgiving of these mistakes after repeat viewings, but like any show, it still has its ups and downs. Stop by and tell us how you feel as well!

TMNT IV: Turtles in Time – SNES
During the peak of TMNT’s popularity, Turtles in Time wowed players in both the arcades and on the Super Nintendo. Still hailed as one of the greatest beat ’em ups of all time, Turtles in Time draws its inspiration directly from the animated series that introduced so many of us to the Turtles.

While the first TMNT game for the NES received a decidedly mixed response, Konami hit on a winning formula with TMNT II and continued the beat ’em up format into the third installment, The Manhattan Project. There may not be any radically improved graphics or sophisticated mechanics in this sequel, but it is a solid beat ’em up for the NES with an energetic and fast-paced feel.

Sidemeat – 5th Slice
This slice of Sidemeat looks at the 2014 crime thriller The Bag Man. A simple task – get the bag – turns into a dark comedy of errors, imbued with both the lurid overtones of Tarantino and the slippery, ephemeral lucidity of Lynch. Does it all add up?

Sidemeat – 4th Slice
Digging deep into nerdom, I take a look a deck I created for Magic the Gathering which I dubbed Eldrazi Family Reunion. The idea was to use as many Eldrazi as possible along with a basic Tooth and Nail strategy to put them on the field quickly.
