If you're a fan of the Brink First Person Shooter(FPS), would you like to see a GI Joe FPS based on the same engine? Rumor has it, that such a game may be in development. Recently, Now Gamer posted an article referencing a report by Industrygamers in which Splash Damage, creator of Brink, is said to be developing a game that....

....will be based on one of the biggest American pop culture brands of the last 50 years, and there's no doubt Splash Damage can do the licence justice. However, the project's success will depend a great deal on the backing it gets from the media company that owns the IP – a company widely believed to have given up on the console publishing business.

While some speculate that the IP holder in question may be Disney/Marvel, Now Games theorizes it may actually be Hasbro, as an FPS is more fitting for GI Joe than it would be for Disney. Also, Hasbro licenses its IP for games now in lieu of actually publishing the games itself. Add onto that, GI Joe Retaliation premieres on June 29th 2012. From the way Industrygamers describes the upcoming game, making such a game would be easy as the technology for online multiplayer is already in place, and it could use a further refined Brink engine.

In any case, if a GI Joe FPS using a more polished Brink engine is in the works, would you be excited for it?

BarringtonPatch has posted an article about Don Levine's visit to the Barrington Preservation Society Museum. Who is Don Levine, you may ask? Levine is the very man who created the GI Joe action figure in 1964. He is also a veteran of the Korean War. Here's a blurb about how GI Joe came to be, and a surprising model for it in the form of a mannequin:

“I came back and felt that I had a duty to tell people about the real American hero,” Levine said. “That became GI Joe.”

Levine said just about the first decision he made was that “I wanted a moveable soldier. What’s the use of a soldier unless it could be moveable to ride in Jeeps and planes and boats and scuba diving.”

Levine said he found the model for GI Joe in an art supply store: the wooden dummy with multiple joints used by artists and sculptors as a foundation for their works.

Interestingly enough, Levine mentions that GI Joe was “the first toy ever to be promoted on a TV commercial.” Things have certainly changed as GI Joe toy commercials these days are rare occurrences, the last one airing a few years ago.

Linked to the article was a commercial featuring the original GI Joe figures, shown below:

Both the G.I.JOE team and the terrorist organization COBRA are keenly aware of the superior martial arts skills possessed by members of the ARASHIKAGE CLAN.

COBRA COMMANDER had his BLACK DRAGON NINJAS brainwashed as a precaution to ensure that his growing ranks of ARASHIKAGE never rise up against him or COBRA. Little did he know that the ninja STORM SHADOW is a master of the atsui nami a deep mind control technique, which he cunningly used on the BLACK DRAGON NINJAS to ensure their allegiance to him. Regardless of who their true master is, these ruthless ninja warriors are swift, silent, and deadly, and they pose a tremendous threat to anyone who crosses them.

Q: What was the design choice behind the look for G.I. Joe Renegades Figures

A: No Answer.....

Q: Any chance we might see "The Hub" rotate in other GI Joe cartoon series? GI Joe Extreme hasn't been seen since 1997, Sigma Six since 2006 (and never even got a full showing of its episodes in the US), or even season 2 of the classic Sunbow series (which the Hub still hasn't aired)?

You may probably remember him as little Tim Murphy from Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park, but now he is a grown young man. We are talking about Joseph Francis Mazzello III (or just Joseph Mazzello for short) who has taken the role of “Mouse” for G. I. Joe: Retaliation by director Jon Chu.

Mr. Mazzello sat down for an exclusive interview with HeyUGuys. He was mostly interviewed regarding the return of Jurassic Park and his memories associated with the filming, but he had something to say about G. I. Joe 2 as well.

Quote:
And you’re currently shooting G.I. Joe 2?

I am. I’m on hiatus from that at the moment. It’s going great. [Director] Jon Chu is fantastic and we actually went to school together and he texted me one day with a ‘Hey, I have a role for you in my movie, do you wanna do it?’ I told him that for him I’d do craft services… and that was how it happened. I’m loving it – Dwanye Johnson is fantastic. I think you could crush me with his pinky… but he wouldn’t – he’s the nicest, most gentle guy. Channing Tatum is so much fun. We’ve had a blast on set and going out at night experiencing New Orleans the way it’s supposed to be done.
The interview happened back in last October and yet it somehow slipped through our watchful eyes. Initial rumors suggested that the character Mouse from Sgt. Savage and his Screaming Eagles will appear to entice young teen girls into the film. Later we heard the news of Joseph Mazzello being cast as the said character.
