Check out the new G.I. Joe Battleground Strategy RPG Game where YOU recruit and lead a team of legendary heroes or villains to protect or control humankind.
G.I. Joe Battleground is the 1st mobile game based on the cartoon(Sunbow GI Joe A Real American Hero cartoon)
Aiming to include "every character from the series that's ever had an action figure"
1st time players will be able to play either as G.I. Joe or Cobra
Fahey states that "I was told it played a bit like Blood Brothers, another DeNA collectible strategy RPG. There'll be player-vs.-player combat, Cobra-vs.-Joe worldwide events, but it'll be more of a management game that an actual role-playing title."
Old classic file cards by Larry Hama retained
Apparently Hit & Run got his nickname since his parents were killed by a drunk driver
"Battleground will launch with more than 100 characters from the various G.I. Joe cartoons, with regular updates planned until all 300-400 characters are represented."
Toys "R" Us Hong Kong is sharing with us a new TV Commercial for G. I. Joe Kre-O.
Hasbro's Kre-O commercials are always fun to watch and as fans of the G. I. Joe franchise, it’s awesome to see some TV Commercial love even if it's from the Kre-O toyline. You can enjoy this commercial with converted 3D as well; just hit the 3D option of this You Tube video.

For those of you that enjoy Larry Hama's work on G.I.Joe, you should also know that he has a new book called "The Stranger". This new book is all about Vampires with chapters about the Teutoburg Forest Massacre, the Siege of Stalingrad, the Spanish Civil War, the Third Crusade, and much more. If you ask Larry himself he will tell you "not a single glittering vampire to be found in this book". Anyway check out the information below.
The Stranger is an epic three-part story that spans the history of vampires, from the slaying of their King in ancient Jerusalem, to their current day presence, skulking in the seedy alleys and byways of New York City.
Jeff Burns, ruthless vampire killer, has stumbled onto something huge. In the course of dispatching a particularly loathsome vampire named The Creep, Jeff intercepts an email exchange that refers to an ancient box, recently unearthed and shipped the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Creep's orders were clear: steal the box.
Drawn in to Jeff's quest to discover the mystery of the box is Eamon Diaz, a young film student who inadvertently kills his first vampire one night walking home with remnants of his broken baseball bat.
Revenge, lust, and a growing body count follow Jeff and Eamon as they make their way closer to the truth—and nearer and nearer the ultimate source of evil.

So we've all seen the movie. There is some parts WE LOVE. There are some parts that still need some work. Aaaand, yes, there is a part or two that made us cringe. With that said, we all enjoyed our time at the theater to watch the movie we waited so long for. What were our favorite parts? What parts did we not like? What would we do if we were in charge? We answer all of those. Plus...we get an unannounced but very welcome visit by Retalition's Director - yes, Mr. Jon M. Chu himself joins us from his kitchen. He spends nearly an HOUR with us candidly answering every question we asked him. What an opportunity - thanks to Justin for setting that up and thanks for Jon joining us while going over opening night return numbers. We had a blast doing this one and we hope you enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime recording of WOJM!
