Join me as I take a short jaunt through time. When shall be our first stop? Shall we seek answers to our ages most intriguing questions. Mmmm, no. Perhaps we shall seek enlightenment via a moment of cultural, even historical significance? Getting warmer.(br /)(br /)As you may have already guessed, our journey shall land us in the year nineteen-hundred and ninety-eight, during what could be described as the Golden Age of World Wrestling Entertainment.(br /)(br /)Continue reading to learn why Mike Tyson will have a guest role in the next WWE video game.

(center)(img src="http://www.karatemart.com/images/blog/TMNT_Delay_Banner.jpg")(/center)(br /)(br /)Paramount Pictures, the studio in charge of the recently announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie re-imagining have officially pushed the release date of the film back to May 16, 2004. It would appear that pre-production has run on a little longer than estimated (perhaps trying to refine the whole mutant/alien origins fiasco?)(br /)(br /)While Turtles fans around the world may be lower than a sewer-dwelling amphibian by now, this Turtle Power infused writer would like to take a quick second to look at the bright side. For one, any extra time devoted to fleshing out the details of a story in before filming should (hopefully) result in a much better final product.(br /)(br )I'm as excited as the next fan to see what the movie will have in store for my green childhood friends, but I'm willing to forgo a few extra months if it means a cohesive story (read: NOT Transformers 2).(br /)(br /)(via (a href="http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118055564")Variety(/a))

Secured yourself an official Expendables nickname? Check. Pre-ordered (i)The Expendables(/i) for Xbox? Che-wait, what?!(br /)(br /)If you've never been one to be swayed by the tarnished reputation licensed video games have had for more than twenty years, then you may very well jump for joy at the newest game news. Apparently a recent list from the Australian Classification Board (think ESRB down-under) listed a rating for (i)The Expendables 2(/i) video game.(br /)(br /)This would seem strange being that (b)not a single peep(/b) of this this has been mentioned before, but there it is. Will this be the final piece of the movie's marketing plan, or is this a forgotten remnant of a long-since scrapped title that will never see the light of day?(br /)(br /)Looks like we'll have to wait until we get a little closer to the official movie release on August 17th this year.(br /)(br /)(Via (a href="http://www.g4tv.com/thefeed/blog/post/724925/the-expendables-2-game-outed-by-australian-ratings-board/")Joystiq(/a))

(center)(img src="http://www.karatemart.com/images/blog/Came-from-Internet-banner.jpg")(/center)(br /)(br /)In this weeks episode of "It Came From The Internet" we found a great compilation of 25 of the best streaming kung fu movies available on Netflix as of today. Some are old, some are new, some are very good, some are very, very bad. Either way, if you're a fan of some good old fashioned chop-socky action you should probably just go ahead and queue these up right now and find some way to thank us later. Don't worry, we'll be right here watching (i)Cheerleader Ninjas(/i).(br /)(br /)(via (a href="http://www.gadgetreview.com/2012/06/26-kung-fu-movies-streaming-on-netflix.html")Gadget Review(/a))
