After 18 years, Rocko's Modern Life is finally available on DVD thanks to Shout Factory, the same company that gave us Home Movies DVDs.
However, they didn't show any signs of interest in asking the creator Joe Murray to make the DVD cover or for behind the scenes footage/commentary. In case you're somewhere without internet to watch the series on Netflix, these DVDs are a godsend. Do an internet search for Joe Murray Studio to stay up-to-date with the creator.
What's great about it: Great show; Where a lot of cartoon talent got their start

Good Game, Poor Marketing

This game seems to be pretty hard to find. The only reason I even heard of it is because of a video I found at the bottom of a website as I was looking for other XBox games. Seemed like an interesting concept so I picked up a copy. First the cons. The controls are a bit weird and take some getting used to. Fine-tuning a piece to rotate it just as you want it can be daunting at times and it took me awhile just to find the option to exit out of the game. Also, from what I've seen so far there's no undo feature, which can be frustrating when you accidentally delete a piece of the puzzle. The "sparks" you have to earn seem like a waste of time. Like you have to place some hideous stickers all over your map in order to complete the assignment. Fortunately you can delete them after you earn the spark, but that's also a waste of time. Now the pros. Once you get over the controls and having to earn sparks the game play is pretty fun and enjoyable. First, you have to figure out how to solve the puzzle and then you can go back to make it more complex to earn more points. Plus it's just fun to see how crazy and complex you can make the map just to do something as simple make a car go from one side of the map to the other. Some maps are very simple and others are pretty complex if you want to try to get all of the bonus multipliers. Overall it's a fun game and it's only $40 new. If you're someone who likes to sit down for hours on end and play a game you might prefer to rent this one though, I'm not sure how long the game play will last. For casual gamers it's worth buying.
What's great about it: Fun puzzles, creative freedom, good price
What's not so great: Controls have a learning curve, menus could be easier to navigate, hard to find information on this game
