G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra “Face Off” on Facebook.com

For G.I. Joe fans who are Facebook users (and I know there are a lot of you), there’s a new Facebook app out there entitled G.I. Joe: Face Off, and it’s a fun little flash-based game where you choose a side, then build up a trooper to go against other Facebook users in a fight to the death!  It ain’t rocket science, you come equipped with some default gear, then as you progress through the game, you can build up points to spend on upgrades, new weapons, and movie-inspired uniforms.

It’s a pretty fun time waster…trust me, I wasted over an hour on it today alone…  :shifty:

Nostalgia strikes on Facebook

I’ve been on  Facebook for a while and I know a bunch of Joe-related friends of mine are on there, and I just got notification of something pretty cool.

“tkprime” is a Hisstank member, but also runs the MS Gulf Coast G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club.  Of course, you don’t have to be in MS or on the Gulf Coast to join, that’s just its general location.  Well, I have to say that he’s one of the more devoted Joe fans out there that I’ve met…he does some great things in the hobby that some times get a bit overlooked.  His most recent thing is to put every single vintage G.I. Joe commercial in the video section of his Facebook account.  That’s right.  Every one of them.  All those cool as hell live action 90’s commercials?  In there.  Those Hall of Fame commercials with the cartoons?  In there.  The first Joe cartoon ever aired?  It’s all there.

A very cool thing that probably took a ton of time and effort, but it’s there for anyone to enjoy, should they want to.  Of course you can also check out the aforementioned forums as well to see what they’re up to over there.
