    It's been twenty years since Phil Hartman was killed by his wife. When he died, SNL died with him.

      Wouldn't say SNL died, quite a few laughs since then. Same for the Simpsons. But Hartman is very missed all the same.

      He was the best. One of my all time favorites.

      Aw man... downer. I loved him in News Radio.

    If only I had a '75-'79 B-Body roller to drop my 440 CI V8 in... (Engine still needs to be built.)

      @Zylon: C-Body Drydock? I might have to look.

      @JD_1138: I know a guy who has a Barracuda, but just lets it sit there. (Idiot.)

      I pass with class and run a pair of old C's still.

      I stand by the 361/383/400 series. :)

    I'm currently binge watching the Kirby anime. Oh, and Krull is a criminally underrated movie.

      Yes, it was not even afraid to kill Liam Neeson!

      I really want to see Krull again - I remember liking it bitd, but it's been sooooo long.

      I just wanted to post the song but... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFlcS-hGgME Pay attention Sony! This has been up for a year already! ;)

    Regardless if you hated Midori: Shojo Tsubaki or not; at least it had actual artistic merit.

  5. SlidellMan

    Am I the only person who is in the middle on Steven Universe? Sure, it took what DBZ did, and did it better; yet the voice acting and animation aren't good.

    1. dj_convoy

      dj_convoy

      I think both the voice acting and animation are pretty decent for today's standards. The story kind of lost me, tho', after really liking the show for a little bit there. I haven't checked in in awhile.

      I don't like the art style, but this interview with the creator makes me a little more interested. https://the1a.org/shows/2018-07-09/the-mind-behind-americas-most-empathetic-cartoon

      I got the first season for three bucks. Maybe I should get around to watching it.

  6. SlidellMan

    Even though I was never a fan of MotU, this update is even more ill-conceived than the original She-Ra:

    I don't know if you guys are familiar with I-Mockery, but RoG's wife succumbed to depression and well...http://www.i-mockery.com/re/

      I can't read that right now -- for many reasons -- but that looks like a lovely (and very sad) tribute. Thanks for sharing, I'm saving it for later when I can process it properly.

    3. Inky

      Inky

      That is whyI have never succumbed to my major depression is that instead of ending my pain, I know that I'll pass my pain on to the ones I love, and who love me. I know that lately there's not been many days when I didn't feel hopeless.

    4. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I even e-mailed RoG in condolence. I-Mockery.com was one of the best sites of the last decade, along with Newgrounds, Maddox, Evil Dave, etc.

    I don't know if anyone still reads comics, but Steve Ditko just died.

      Sad day for comic book fans. He was one of the best. RIP.

    If there is one good thing worth saying about the misbegotten Problem Solvers: John DiMaggio's Snagglepuss impersonation.

  10. SlidellMan

    This is why Fist of the North Star is still my favorite anime:

  11. SlidellMan

    If there are some things about Swat Kats I still like: The music, voice acting, choreography, and color theory. Too bad that HB couldn't market the show well. (Which led to its cancellation.)

    1. MrMaddog

      MrMaddog

      "Billionare" Ted Turner canceled it cause it was "too violent". Another casuality of political correctness...

      I seem to recall he was pushing that godawful crap Captain Planet on people and was getting rid of shows people liked...

      To this day I hate anyone who thinks that cartoons should be "educational", and of course the senators who came up with e/i and killed Saturday morning cartoons...(I'm not talking about School house Rock and Sesame Street BTW)...

    Apple used to be synonymous with "quality product that justified the high price tag." However, their decline started around 2006-2007. (I used to like their computers despite using Windows and, before that, Amiga Workbench.)

      ^ And thanks to that post I now know what a Chocodile is lol I had never heard of them before. Personally I'd like iPhones and iPads a lot more if Apple just ditched iOS and let them run OS X with a touch interface. iOS always seemed too limited in functionality compared to OS X to be practical for me.

      The iMAC was not a high quality product, iPod was cheap looking....

    Sega Lord X on the Sega Saturn Hardware:

    If there is one thing I do like about Crystal Dynamics and Eidos: they had good taste in voice actors. Seriously, you couldn't go wrong with the late Tony Jay from ReBoot and the last three TMNT seasons.

  15. SlidellMan

    I wonder if Lazy Game Reviews is still active here?

      I'd check, but I gotta take a nap..

  16. SlidellMan

    I don't know if there's any Megami Tensei fans here, but I prefer Kazuma Kaneko's earlier art (1987-1997) over his post-Persona 2 work. It looks stiff and not very expressive despite being otherwise solid.

  17. SlidellMan

    Since HamCorossam's site went under, I wonder if there are any other download links for that freeware game, Gunroad?

    Why is it that Bulletstorm's Duke Nukem mode is somehow better than Duke Nukem Forever? Maybe 2K Games should let us make a Duke Nukem game?

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Don't we have enough Duke games? Would hate for the formula to get tired. ;-)

      It doesn't have to be an FPS.

  19. SlidellMan

    Dragon Quest 5 is still my favorite DQ/Dragon Warrior game.

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      I've got DQ 1-8 on my phone in the event I get buried in a cave-in or something. So long as I have power.

      I had to look that one up...I guess I haven't played it. I may or may not have a fan translation ROM, if one exists...

    I've been thinking of using 160B mode for my 7800 projects.

      Funny how long it took to have a console which did proper colour at 320 pixel resolution!

    I don't want genderswapped Ghostbusters 2. However, I would like an animated Ghostbusters film based on the Real GB cartoon. Don't know if Bill Murray would be interested, then you have to take into consideration whether to choose between Frank Welker or Dan Aykroyd as Ray, as well as between Ernie Hudson, Arsenio Hall, or Buster Jones as Winston.

      I don't care if it's gender-swapped. Sure, why not? Is it good? Is it funny? Is it entertaining? That's what actually matters.

    3. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      @BydoEmpire, all things being equal, you are right. However, unfortunately, in this day and age, doing a "gender-swapped" version of something is a conscious decision, meaning that *it* becomes the salient point of the work. *sigh*

      Why not mix 50-50?

    I think I need a new Printer/Scanner combo...

      After dealing with HP's sketchy business tactics (updates crippling performance and locking out 3rd party toners), I switched to a Samsung all in one. Better software. Better hardware. Faster speed. More intuitive. Better all around performer.

      I have loved my Epson WorkForce 845 since I got it in 2012. Works perfectly with generic inks too.

    4. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      I have an Epson Workforce 845 as well and it's been pretty solid.

  23. SlidellMan

    Too bad that Interplay fucked up the HD version of Earthworm Jim. They could have made the ultimate version that had the parallax and transparencies of the Super NES version, and the Sega CD's extra levels and improved animation.

  24. SlidellMan

    Would it be a problem if I were to say that I dislike MGS2 and 4?

      the only one I really liked was Metal Gear Solid for the PS1 :)

    I don't know if you guys are into Newgrounds, but I miss when Harry Partridge was actually funny instead of All form, little substance.

      I wonder if he gets mad whenever someone calls him "Pink Thing."
