Kero Kero Keroppi No Daibouken 2: Donuts Ike ha Oosawagi

Kero Kero Keroppi no Daibouken 2: Donuts Ike ha Oosawagi (Jap.: "Kero Kero Keroppi's Great Big Adventure 2: Trouble in Donut Pond" ) is a Japan-exclusive action video game for children that was released on the Family Computer console in 1993.

This video game has Sanrio's character searching for lost children who have been kidnapped by monsters. Essentially a standard Super Mario Bros. clone, the player controlling the cartoon frog has to leap around platforms jumping on baddies or killing them with his croaking. Each boss is defeated via playing some children’s board game.

Total Extinction

ASTEROID HIT THE EARTH, BUT NOT ALL DINOS ARE DEAD !?!?

FINISH THE JOB !

Toki

The protagonist of the game is a muscular, loincloth-wearing, Tarzanesque tribesman named Toki (known in Japan and in some ports as JuJu), who up until recently lived a primitive yet contented life in the jungles of a vast and wild island in the South Seas.

This all ends tragically when the beautiful Miho, princess of Toki's tribe of jungle men, and a potential suitor to Toki, is kidnapped by the treacherous witch doctor Vookimedlo. Miho is taken to a vast golden palace at the summit of the island, which Vookimedlo has conjured up for himself to reside in. The wicked shaman then casts a spell to transform all the human inhabitants of the island into various animals and beasts, before they can defend themselves against the evil magic.

Toki himself is transformed into a Geeshergam, one of the ape-like minions of Vookimedlo, although in his primate form, Toki more resembles a gorilla. Fortunately, the great warrior discovers that he is still in control of his own faculties and as an unexpected side effect of the spell cast on him, he can breathe fire and shoot forth various projectiles from his mouth.

Toki then sets off on a quest to pursue and defeat Vookimeldo, rescue princess Miho, and undo the curse which has befallen the island. However, to reach Vookimedlo's golden palace, Toki will have to travel through murky lakes, steep canyons, over frozen ice-capped mountain ranges and lava-spewing volcanoes alike. To progress in his quest and be ultimately victorious, Toki will have to battle all manner of dangerous wild animals and various mutants of Vookimedlo's creation; not to mention Vookimedlo's own abominable guardians who act as level bosses.

Elif Rebroadcasts Move From 09:30 To 16:00 On e.tv And This Is Due To ePlesier's New Show Die Agentskap

 As reported a month ago, ePlesier will be airing it's first exclusive show this month titled Die Agentskap from 2nd December. This series was allocated on eVOD earlier in the year and had been M.I.A. as eExtra allocated more recent shows from the streamer such as Op Dun Ys and Pad Na Die Hart.

There had been questions from several viewers about how eMedia Investments is planning to accommodate Die Agentskap as ePlesier is a repeats channel so the viewership would be minimal. Plans are underway to make daytime repeats available on e.tv at 9:30 as Elif's rebroadcast move almost two hours before it's premiere at 4PM.

For those wondering why Die Agentskap is not airing on eExtra, it had been alleged that reception for the series was dismal after being allocated on eVOD. With eExtra already at it wits with Op Dun Ys can't afford to lose viewers therefore opted to dump the series on ePlesier where the viewership is minimal.

Honestly this is a trend in other countries where channels would often discard a program if it failed to garner traction at least in Die Agentskap's case it gets promotion. Others to have fallen either had received very little marketing with some ousted from viewer's grasp.

Die Agentskap's debut on ePlesier has only made e.tv's schedule more bloated with repeats there's eExtra's primetime shows in the daytime and lastly rebroadcasts of Z'Bondiwe and Nikiwe. Then you have Elif moving to 4PM and it's previous slot as mentioned is being phased out for another repeat.

This has left e.tv with more reruns aside from eExtra's catch-up slots, the channel is already airing Nikiwe and Z'Bondiwe

Comcast Spin-Off Looking To Buy More TV Channels And Expand The Streaming Market

The cable-TV networks business being spun off by Comcast Corp. will explore acquiring other cable channels and creating its own streaming services to grow after separating from its parent.

Channels specializing in documentaries or food-related shows are among the options for the new company, according to people familiar with the plans. Those are two programming areas the current portfolio lacks.

The spinoff, which hasn’t been named, could also create its own streaming business or packages of channels for online distributors like Amazon.com Inc., said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing nonpublic information. The spinoff will likely negotiate its own distribution deals with pay-TV distributors when its current contracts run out.

Philadelphia-based Comcast on Wednesday formally announced plans to divest most of its cable-TV networks, including MSNBC, CNBC and the USA Network, into a new publicly traded company. The networks generated about $7 billion in revenue over the past 12 months and reach about 70 million US households, the company said. 

Cable networks have been a drag on Comcast’s business as consumers continue to cancel pay-TV services in favor of streaming options like Netflix Inc. While the spinoff doesn’t need to acquire more channels, that could be an option as pay-TV distributors look to create more bespoke packages of channels with network owners. 

Comcast is keeping the NBC broadcast network and the Peacock streaming service. While Peacock is losing money, it is considered a growth business as consumers switch to online viewing. The most popular programming on both is sports, and Comcast has decade-long rights for the NFL and, starting next year, the NBA. Programs from the channels being spun off represent just 2% of the viewing on Peacock, the people said. 

Bravo, a channel specializing in reality TV, is also staying with Comcast because its programming is popular on streaming. Spanish-language network Telemundo will also remain part of Comcast because its audience is considered a growth market. 

In a potential bright spot in a media industry buffeted by layoffs in recent year, the spinoff could be opportunity for Comcast to avoid some job reductions: The new company will need to build its own corporate infrastructure. The company will negotiate intercompany agreements on issues like advertising sales, programming and other corporate services. 

Mark Lazarus, who’ll be chief executive officer of the new business, told employees Wednesday that a new name for the MSNBC news network could be among the changes, according to Variety.

Under the spinoff plan, shareholders of Comcast will receive stock in the new company, which will also include Oxygen, E!, SYFY and the Golf Channel. It will also own complementary digital assets including Fandango and Rotten Tomatoes, GolfNow and Sports Engine.

Comcast Chairman Brian Roberts, who holds a one-third voting stake in his company, will have a similar holding in the new company. 

The spinoff is expected to take a year to be completed. 

What Happened To Former Barbie's Former Rival Bratz?

With the resurgence of Barbie dolls through Greta Gerwig's Barbie, the natural next pick would be a look into the world of the Bratz doll. After all, in many ways, Barbie and Bratz became opposing rivals in the toy world for years.

Girls on the playground would often debate the merits of their favorite dolls. Sometimes, though, they would mix the two together and use their imagination to bridge the gap. With a recent look into Barbie, it begs the question: What happened to Bratz?

What happened to Bratz dolls?

Bratz dolls were released long after Barbie, debuting in 2001. But, they were created by a former employee of Mattel, the company that owns Barbie, so the competition between the two was immediate. Over the years, they've faced public backlash and ridicule.

Bratz dolls are still somewhat available, although they've been discontinued a few times. Not shockingly, Mattel slammed them with a lawsuit due to some similarities and copyright issues. After Bratz's parent company, MGA Entertainment, won the case, they lifted a pause that had been put on the brand.

They even launched a 10 year anniversary line with some modifications. In 2014, the line of the time wasn't available in North America and, when the company came back in 2015, they only lasted for a year before being discontinued again.

Why do people hate Bratz dolls?

The issues in regards to Bratz dolls vary depending on the person. Staunch Barbie lovers weren't happy with the seemingly copy cat creation, but their anger was put to rest when the litigation settled.

A major issue that the Bratz dolls faced was red flags about unrealistic beauty standards. Bratz dolls were very glam in nature, often wearing full faces of makeup. Plus, many argued that the body proportions and facial features were pushing a certain type of standard on young girls.

In fact, the last line of Bratz dolls' main criticisms was that the dolls were marketed towards young girls rather than tween and teen markets which were believed to be better suited to the more 'sexy' look. The adult-like portrayal left parents uncertain about handing over the toy to their kids.

Of course, the body standard argument didn't only apply to Bratz dolls as Barbie has often received the same sort of feedback. However, Barbie supporters often argue that her design is typically more reserved in fashion and that her storyline includes aspirational jobs meant to inspire young women.

Issues with Bratz dolls stemmed beyond just the design. The manufacturer was slammed with allegations of paying its factory workers a very low rate, around $0.515 an hour, according to a report from China Labor Watch.

MGA denied the allegations. After that, the company became ensnared in a variety of legal issues. Lady Gaga even took the company to court at one point, alleging that the company purposefully delayed the release of a doll that was supposed to look like her.

Over all, Bratz dolls certainly had their moment in early 2000s culture, but they haven't stood the test of time as well as brands like Barbie. They're still an option for kids today, but not as widespread.
