Red Fury Mode

Our heroes just got out of the frying pan only to land on the fire that is Cosmo-bot's Red Fury Mode in our Newest Page. Our mechanical monster's rage reminded that we all have different settings, or 'modes', depending on the situation. I thought I'd share some of mine!

-Service Industry Mode: Very polite, no opinions. What you say is law.

-Family Mode: Activate Spanish. Hola, si, biblioteca. ¡Bueno!

-At Home Mode: Equip sweat pants.

-Time Cheetah Writing Mode: Everything is possible. Rodriguez and Cheetah befriend prehistoric giant spiders to stop a Nazi? Yes. 

-A La Mode: Add Ice Cream.

How about you, dear reader, what are some of your modes?

Trains, Planes, And Zombiemobiles

Watched an excellent movie this weekend, which was a pleasant surprise 'cause guess what: this movie was about zombies! And it was great! Say what?!

OK, so zombies are boring now. We all know it. Walking Dead's got more seasons than you have towels in your house and Pride and Prejudice and Zombies came out this year and you didn't even remember that movie existed until just now!

Leave it to South Korea to give the genre the kick in the mouth it needed. They released a movie called Train to Busan this year, about a dude taking his daughter to the town of Busan by way of (wait for it) train when a zombie outbreak hits the country. And like all good action horror films, things just get more and more intense as the movie goes on.

It's got tense action set pieces, breezy pacing that rarely lets up, and doesn't shy away from killing its cast or putting them in worse and worse situations. It's just thrilling and fun and if you used to like zombies but got pretty burnt out, you gotta give it a try. You'll have a great time!

Oh, right, Time Cheetah! This page gives ya a classic Colonel Bolshevik moment and hopefully a chuckle, ch-ch-check it!

You Look Great Today

I just had a day where I spent time with my grandparents, drove an uncle to storage, had an OFFICIAL Time Cheetah meeting, a date, a movie AND crossed the USA/Mexico border twice. It was busy.

But, we're all busy right? And you know what would have been great that busy day? A compliment

I wanna take a moment to tell you: You look great today.

Seriously. That haircut? Fantastic. Your face? Beautiful. Have you been working out? It shows.

Have a great day, maybe check out the New Time Cheetah Page? I feel like our heroes could use some compliments themselves.

Murder Your Way

Time Cheetah's looking pretty screwed right about now... but fear not, he's got an ace up his sleeve!

My brother and I purchased the newest Hitman video game (creatively titled Hitman for maximum confusion), where you control a bald James Bond with a knack for disguises and a love of creative assassination. The game's got some ridiculously large levels, and in the span of a few hours I managed to discover some pretty creative slaughter options:

--You can dress up as a fashion model that's friends with one of the murder targets. But if you do, you gotta walk down the runway and strut your stuff before you can go drown someone in a toilet. Work it.

--You can set off a fireworks display that attracts two targets to look at it, and then drop one from a balcony so they fall on top of the other. Double kill, as they say.

–You can bribe a local mime, take his place, and ride a unicycle rigged with explosives right into a super secret auction and blow up every rich evil asshole in there. Pros: super cathartic. Cons: you have to pretend to be a mime. The abyss stares also.

I swear only one of those scenarios is made up. And I'll be honest, it's not unlikely I just haven't found the mime and his unicycle in this particular level. These places are huge, with different level design and murder scenarios that make me wish there were so many more of them. My suggestions for new levels:

–The headquarters of a fast food corporation where you have to execute the CEO, but you can only kill people with hamburgers, but thankfully they do a lot of hamburger R&D in this building, so you can equip all sorts of different kinds of murder-burgers (murder your way).

–In a museum, but the museum is actually a diorama inside a bigger museum. And that museum? You guessed it: a creationist museum. So you murder your target with a tiny fossil.

–At a petting zoo, but the only disguises are animal ones. So you have to pretend to be a goat if you want to get close to the corrupt Russian oligarch. But it'll be totally worth it.

–The inside of someone's brain, like that movie Inside Out. Or the Cell. Depends how much J-Lo you want in your level.

Review score: 10+/A.5/Game of Thrones of The Year. Play it.
