Hey hey,

Allow me to introduce you to Half the Battle, my video review show where I take a look at all things related to GIJoe : A Real American Hero from the 80s and beyond. You'll find reviews of the toys, characters, cartoons and comics. My hope is to inform and entertain ! So have a look, and see if I've suceeded there. Fair warning, the first episodes are a bit rough, but I'm quite pleased with the later ones.

You can find my show here :
Half The Battle

A new episode is normally posted every Tuesday !

Hope you enjoy !
 
Things get Lovecraftian this week with the Halloween special, but can GIJoe pull off horror and suspense ?

And if you're in a halloween mood, why not check out my first Halloween special from 2012? Link on the blog.
 
Hey hey ! It's time for the 50th episode spectacular ! Quite some work went into this one folks. Stupid, stupid work !
Half The Battle
 
In today's episode, we get our first look at the Mega Marines with Blast-Off. A guy who is not what he seems. You could say there's more than meets the eye here.

The Doctor Venom story continues in the comic this week... Without Doctor Venom. Things get complicated. Also, Hobbits.

We talk about a great many things this week. Some of it may even be related to GIJoe ! Take a look at the GIJoe arctic trainer !

It's the end of the year bonanza ! We've got a Christmas and New Year Eve's special ! Also stuff that'll confuse you if you haven't seen all my recent videos on Blip.

Thanks ! I think. : )


In the first episode of 2014, we take a look at yet another member of Battle Force 2000. He doesn't seem like a jerk, so I'm assuming he's a psychopath.

We're looking at issue 14 of the comic. We've got schemes, we've got double-and triplecrossings ! We've got a hell of a lot crammed into one issue. Also, civilians in the GIJoe universe are hella stupid.

Half The Battle
 
Time to take another look at the cartoon ! We prove that convoluted plans aren't limited to the comic, and we're reminded that this really was an 80s cartoon in the worst way.
Half The Battle
 
It's Super Bowl Sunday ! That means it's a brand new Football Special from Half the Battle ! Hey, you can either watch this or Bruno Mars. I think we all know what most people on earth will choose to watch !

No problem ! You know, I try to get the word out, but there's only so many boards, facebook groups etc. I can post on. Still, if I can just reach one guy on a board, and entertain them, I consider it a win. : )

Today, we're taking a look at one of the 13 original members of the GIJoe team ! We're also taking a look at one of the worst GIJoe toys ever made.

A new comic review where we finally see Cobra's eeeevil plot come to a conclusion. Is it fun? Is it silly? Is there Drama? You betcha !

Half The Battle
 
Hmm. I might have to check that out.

New episode ! Captain America sure is a great character. Too bad Hasbro didn't have the rights to make a toy of him in the 80s. They sure got around that problem though !
Half The Battle
 
New episode! When GI Joe decided to take part in the war on drugs, they needed a leader. And goofy weapons. And Cobra to help out. Then they gave up.
Half The Battle
 
I've had an extremely busy week, so there really wasn't time to script and produce a review. However, that doesn't mean there isn't a new video ! I present to you : My own toy collection.
Half The Battle
 
We're going back to the comic, and learn the fate of some important characters. We also learn that Belgium has a superior military when compared to the American one in the comic, so there.
Half The Battle
 
In this cartoon review, we've replaced Cobra Commander with the Joker. Let's see if anybody noticed ! Also, Cobra goes nuclear.
Half The Battle
 
We're taking our second look at Ninja Force this week, with the Joe team's cold weather ninja. And we find out what Hasbro's ripping off this time !
Half The Battle
 
Our look at the comic continues and we are finally getting near the conclusion of the Doctor Venom storyarc! Also, Hawk is a ******.
Half The Battle
 
That line was ironic in many ways ! : )

On this week's episode, the Joes take on a new, deadly foe. And when I say "deadly", I mean stupid, very very stupid.
Half The Battle
 
You have no idea how much I had to resist ripping off a Nostalgia Critic joke for that one. ("Boomer will live!")

New episode : And one time, Rocky Balboa was gonna join the GIJoe team...
