Too Much Awesome

How could I enter 2011 without digging deep into my favorite topic, Ninja Turtles? I couldn’t. And beyond that, how could I not start with a rant about something that just plain ticked me off? I love rants, I love Ninja Turtles, but I certainly don’t love Turtles in Time: Re-Shelled. Reason being? It’s awful, [...]

I just rewatched Toy Story 3, so I’m in an extremely nostalgic mood today. Going with the feeling, I decided to pay a visit to my parents’ home and snag my bins of action figures from The Long, Long Ago. Yes, I have a Buzz Lightyear, and a Woody, but neither of those are my [...]

While searching through the archives at the Virtual Ninja Turtle Museum for really cool Ninja Turtle outfits, I came across a ton of really, really awesome action figures that I couldn’t mention due to the limitations of the list parameters. Therefore, it’s time for another list focusing on only the side characters released via the [...]

Has it already been over a year since I posted one of my favorite articles, my list of the 10 Most Ridiculous TMNT Action Figures? In searching for the strangest, I also found some of the coolest, but alas, I never got around to showing those. Until now anyway. In the spirit of Halloween, I [...]

If you listened to yesterday’s episode of the Too Much Awesome Podcast, you’d currently be jittering with anticipation to learn what my favorite board game growing up happened to be. The time has come and the secret is out. My favorite childhood board game was…the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Pizza Power Board Game. Surprising? Not [...]

This last week my mother came to visit me/clean my apartment and one of the things she was kind enough to bring me, upon request, were my four really cool Ninja Turtle action figures based off the black and white comics. I set them up on my shelf to constantly remind me of my Turtley [...]

No Ubisoft. This is not how you make a Ninja Turtles game. You had a good concept going for a while. “Take the developers from Super Smash Bros Brawl and have them make a TMNT game to celebrate the Turtles’ 25th Anniversary.” Yes, good concept. But then we get a game that fails to understand [...]

I am a fan of Ninja Turtles.  I am not a fan of remakes. There are some exceptions to each of those rules, but typically they hold true. Turtles in Time for the SNES is one of my favorite Super Nintendo games and for good reason beyond just having Ninja Turtles in it. Turtles in [...]
