On Deck: I'm currently preparing a tribute to the characters of Double Dragon, along the same lines as the Super Mario one I did recently. It's coming along pretty well, but god damn were the pics tough to get together. Should be up later today. Meanwhile, I should mention that I've gotten a heap of e-mail regarding the Power Rangers article, and almost all of it was about the unfortunate death of Thuy Trang this past year in a car accident. I had no idea - if I had, I might've picked an episode that didn't feature her so prominently. Then again, there weren't any comments that were too disrespecting, unless someone's offended by me telling them that Thuy just didn't know how to convincingly converse with a cardboard cutout.
Actually, I don't think I've ever written an article without some kind of oversight like that. I never really think about the extended details, and rarely research. I'd be a pretty awful journalist. I'm usually pretty flippant so I don't picture the people reading this stuff taking it too seriously. I should probably add a disclaimer to the top of the main page: "If you see an error, pretend it's correct." Though I admit, it is pretty embarrassing to write about such nonsensical immature stuff and not even have my facts straight. Then again, the point of X-E is just to give people an easy, fun read. I don't think I'm putting together an encyclopedia here. X-Encyclopedia? I wonder if the domain's taken. On a completely related note, fitting quarters over your eyelids and pretending that you have alien coin eyes is totally underrated.

Matt, I like the Double Dragon idea. How about doing it for all the D.D. games? Especially the fighting one, where they had secret kill and embarrass you moves. I once knocked the teeth out of the fat purple bastard’s mouth, and I still have no idea how.
