Osomatsu Parody Dub! - Episode 1

We here at Space Zambonie are huge fans of Mr.Osomatsu!

Matt, co-founder of Space Zambonie, introduced it to Alex about the time they started the channel. They try to share it to whoever they can whenever they can. The idea to create a parody dub had been floating around our lab for a while.

After partnering with our friends over at Inner Warrior and Pseudo Adults (Tony and Kyle we love you), as well as Lesbian Cuisine (Ray you're our homie) and Ian. We sat down came up with the initial concept, and finally put something together.

We hope you enjoy our first episode! And we really appreciate all of the support that comes our way! We're also excited for the official release by Viz Media in October, and ask that everyone who watches support them as well!

Like, subscribe, and comment! If enough people enjoy it we'd love to sit together and make many more!!

Nickelodeon Kart Racers - Review

Nickelodeon Kart Racers - Review

While we originally thought our first new form of content would be a "Good Bad & Ugly" review on the very fun, very exciting, Mega Man X Legacy Collection, things have changed. This under the radar, barely advertised, "masterpiece" of a game, found it's way to store shelves... 

After playing the game for several days, we quickly realized that we wanted to do a short, fun, satirical piece on the game and how it is structured. This unintentionally became a very fun project for us to work on, and something that we really enjoyed making. Paving the way for more videos like this one in the future. 

Filled with a few quick jokes, a good chunk of game play, and our thoughts on what the game truly is... Here is our review of Nickelodeon Kart Racers.

Good, Bad & Ugly Gaming - Coming Soon

I love playing video games, as do a lot of other people (as we can tell from how it's become a super intergal part of our culture).  What I hate though, is enjoying the heck out of a game just to be told by reviewerrs that it sucks. 

I want a place to come and just listen to what's good about it, not what bogs down the experience. I want to come into a game fresh, and not having the reviewers negative thoughts about the game in my head.

From my experience on Youtube. Something like that is nearly impossible to find. Everyone likes to talk about the negatives "10 reasons I hate this game", "Why you shouldn't play", "Should you buy this game". I'm honestly quite sick of that being the norm. 

So I'm going to try something new and experimental. A new series that explains the positives and negatives of the game in two separate videos. One video exclusively highlighting the good, and the other highlighting the bad. 

Will it work, will I execute it well? Honestly, who knows? But I figured the Mega Man X Legacy Collection would be a great place to start. It may take a little bit to produce the video (which may end up hurting how well it does) but I want it to come out well. 

So fingers crossed that everything works out as planned! Would be easier if I knew how to actually get review copies of games. 

Either way, when we eventually do produce it... we'll be uploading it to this guy down there. Thanks everyone!

Hey everyone!

As of last week, March 30th 2018, we have officially become a part of the twitch streaming community. We have had a dormant account on there, and decided to take a crack at live streaming. This doesn't mean that we will stop our YouTube uploads. It actually means something a lot cooler.

Join Matt, LebisanCusine, Gianna, and myself as we record episodes for YouTube! Twitch will act as an early access preview for all YouTube videos. You'll be able to see the latest content before it's split up into episodes and uploaded on YouTube. 

We are currently in our wave of EVERY SONIC EVER! We've already finished Sonic Forces, Sonic Mania, and LEGO Dimensions Sonic Pack! Now we're pushing through the deepest and darkest corner of Sonic... Sonic 2006! 

Feel free to join our stream, and come by if you wanna have a good time. We'll be interacting with you guys, and making sure it's just a grand ole' time.  We'll also be working, slowly but surely, on uploading the old episodes on Twitch as well!

End of the Year

Hey everyone! As the end of the year approaches we find ourselves with the daunting task of either releasing rushed content, or actually sitting and pounding out what we can... as best as we can. With a lot going on currently, including a move to a new location, we have found it difficult to record and edit.

That being said, we are ramping up everything we can! After the move is completed we'll be doing as many videos as we can. We'll be starting with, what we're calling, #EverySonicEver. This series of videos will have the Space Zambonie crew going through every sonic game ever made.

We are excited as the new year comes, and we can provide more funny content to you guys. Thank you all for supporting us as we enter the next chapter of content on our channel

YouBrawl Announcement

YouBrawl

You Choose. You Fight. You Brawl.

Not everyone loves crossovers, but I do. Since the old days, back when I still had my SEGA hooked up to my CRTV, I would daydream of characters meeting up with one another. My mind would race across scenarios of characters, like Sonic meeting up with multiple other SEGA and Nintendo characters. I would keep my eyes peeled for any kind of cameo or crossover. The little things, such as seeing Sonic’s shoes in Donkey Kong Country, fighting with Earth Worm Jim in Clay Fighters, playing as Sonic in NiGHTS, would get me amped and excited. 

That yearning to see characters bump into one another carried throughout my childhood. Interestingly enough, I found myself feeling the same excitement when I started watching YouTube. When I found videos with one of my favorite YouTube personalities crossing over, I realized I was beaming with the same excitement I had as a child. Remember playing Smash Brothers for the first time, seeing all of these famous Nintendo characters  duking it out? I felt like that, but it was different... with YouTube there is no limit. Possibilities are literally endless. There are no huge studio discussions, no issues with rights, no crazy contracts. 

JonTron could easily make videos with Egoraptor, H3H3 could make however many parodies with iDubbbz as he wanted, NinjaSexParty could have Jacksepticeye in any of their videos, NostalgiaCritic could face off against the AngryVideoGameNerd, it was all possible. It’s with that childlike excitement that I decided to create something that could mimic the feeling I have, and share it with the world.

So I am beyond proud to officially announce a project by a YouTuber, as a fan of YouTubers. 

A fan made fighting game featuring some of your favorite (hopefully) YouTubers. 

Although I’m not ready to announce too much, I did want to officially announce that this is being made. It will, without a doubt, be a lot of work. I’m going into this knowing that it will take a lot of effort and time to create.  I don’t expect it to be released soon, at all, but I’ll give it my “when it’s done” seal of approval.

Part of the reason it may take a while is that I’m doing my best to ensure everyone featured in the game either allows it, or at least doesn’t have an issue with their character appearing in the game. In the end, it won’t be an easy task reaching out to different YouTubers. I’m keeping the roster flexible for that reason. In some cases I may do a “better to ask for forgiveness” approach, where I ask them in every way I possibly can... include them.. and if they say no at a later date, remove them.

YouTubers who do give me an actual approval will be the characters I work on first. 

The other reason it’ll take a long time? There is a lot going into each character. There is concept, research, game play style, sprites, animation, implementation, sounds, backgrounds, dialogue, and all of that other fun stuff. As of now, I’m a one man team. Meaning I’m doing all of that myself, except music.. I can’t make music if my life depended on it. 

As time moves forward you can come to this site for updates on the project. I’ll make sure to post character announcements, game play, character stories, demos, and much more. As for the engine, I’ll be using the FM2nd engine unless something better comes along. I know a few people will think this is another fan project that’ll never get completed, or that it’s going to be bad, or any other reason to be negative about it. Here is what my response to that is, yes I’m one person, yes I’m taking on a huge project, yes it will take a lot time, but I’m going to do everything I can to make it the best that I feel it can be, regardless of what it takes.

So for now I’ll leave you with the first few character announcements. As stated prior, there are plenty of other characters I’ve designed and done stuff for, but the roster is still malleable. These characters are the first two I will be announcing...

LesbianCuisine:

http://www.youtube.com/user/iRaySlayer

Representing the growing part of YouTube is an amazing content producer. LesbianCuisine is a growing channel that makes his own style of let’s plays called “RayPlays” where he takes the best parts of the playthrough and focuses on that. He also makes video game montages, and more. He’s a close friend of mine, and if you haven’t seen his channel or videos, check it out. Keep him on your radar, he’s going to blast off one day.

Taco-Man

http://youtube.com/user/ebolaworld

Taco-man’s in a video game! It’s fun fun fun! If you don’t know Taco-man then here is a quick summary: He’s not a banana, he is one of the funniest gaming channels out there, and he’s got an awesome theme song! Being that he is technically the “game master”, I felt it appropriate to include him in this all out brawl of YouTubers. His creator is one of the nicest people I’ve met, and has been nothing but help along the way! I’ve been in contact with him regarding the use of the character, and the way the character appears in game. I plan to continue reaching out to him as progress moves forward, to ensure this game encapsulates the essence of the channel and the character. If you haven’t watched Taco-man before, I would recommend watching him tackling the infamous “Night Trap” or “Resident Evil” games. Both are guarantee laughs.


Well that's it for now! I'm going to make sure that every character brings something special and is super fun to play as. There are going to be plenty of announcements in the months to come though! Hopefully some huge surprises!

Other than these there are already several more characters that I got approval for, but why not keep some things a surprise. If you want to help me you can help by sharing this, or help me reach some of the YouTubers that are harder to reach.

Keep an eye peeled out. If there are any things you specifically want me to write about (in terms of gameplay, character references, movesets, gameplay, or UI) let me know. Feel free to contact me at. If you know anyone who could help with the music too (I'm literally trash at making music) let me know, and help me reach out to them! spacezambonie@gmail.com

Thanks everyone, and can't wait to keep you all updated!

Wonder Woman: The Biggest Mistake I've Ever Made

Sunday afternoon I managed to drag myself to the nearest AMC theater for a showing of DC’s Wonder Woman.The smell of stale over buttered popcorn, my squished sitting situation and the constant flash from my neighbor's phone were all reminders of why I should not have gone to see the movie that day. I was disappointed because I had fallen off the bandwagon of going to midnight premieres. If this Wonder Woman movie has taught me anything, it is that the next time I see a much-anticipated superhero film such as this one, I have to see it the day it comes out.

source: www.allocine.

It’s been a long time since I watched a movie and wiggled in my chair as I pretended to punch and kick the villains I saw on screen. But watching Wonder Woman reminded me that I can still be inspired by superheroes and by the actors who play them. I’m sure the man sitting next to me didn’t appreciate my nonstop movement, but to the girl who wouldn’t shut her flash off during the movie I hope you enjoyed it. And I’m sure somewhere out there Gal Gadot is saying “you go girl! Keep fighting for justice!” World War One, the war to end all wars, was fought with brave soldiers and daring leaders. It was during a time where women were not allowed on the front lines of battle, or in a conference room for that matter. But to Diana, Princess of the Amazons, it was a war that needed to end. Perhaps my favorite parts of the movies were those moments when Diana’s innocence would bring her in front of a group of man who didn’t know the kind of punch she packed. I’m not gonna lie I would get excited because Diana represented the kind of person I always wanted to be. She didn’t see that she was a girl who should be looked at but not spoken to. The little school girl in my who wanted to play football with the older boys, and become a black belt martial artist was screaming for Diana.

I also loved that Diana had such strong support groups throughout the movie. She had a whole island of Amazon women helping her train to be the strongest warrior, even though they couldn’t tell her the truth about how she came to be on Earth. Diana’s mother doesn’t want her to leave their hidden island of Themyscira, but when comes to understand that Diana has a duty that she has to fulfill and relents. And while at first, the team Steve Trevor puts together doubts her ability to fight, her battle in the trenches quickly changes their opinion. Each time Diana was met with oppression, she overcame it. And she didn’t overcome it by leaving quietly and then proving everyone wrong at the end of the movie, she battled it head on.

As for the directing and quality of the movie itself, I did not have a quiet chuckle to myself over the graphics whatsoever. I’ve watched movies where I can easily tell something was added in with CGI, but not this time. The fight scenes were incredible, the steady movement of the camera and angles did not make me dizzy and kept me interested. Gal Gadot is an Amazon I am sure. She pulled off the fights and transitions to peaceful moments without skipping a beat, I could watch her until the day I die.

Movie reviews, for the most part, reflect on the quality of the movie, but the one I am writing is more of an apology. I made a mistake seeing Wonder Woman on Sunday, and I am truly sorry Gal Gadot. I will be making up for it by seeing it many more times in theaters because waiting for it to come to DVD is torture and I won’t do it. But mark my words when the sequel’s tickets go sale I will be the first person in line to by them, and I will be amongst friends at that midnight showing. This movie scores 9/10 zambonies in my book!

Cell phones turned off, cozy recliners, and fresh popcorn included.
