  1. I wonder if anyone here has read Mark Millar's Space Bandits?

  2. I wonder if anyone here played that Shadowgate remake?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I have it for NES and Game Boy...And it's out there for N64 (Which I haven't played).  Which system are you referring to?  (My guess is Nintendo Switch)...

    2. SlidellMan

      As in the 2014 PC Remake by Zojoi.

  3. I wonder why no one ever talks about Metallica's first two albums anymore? (Currently listening to Battery.)

      What would you like to talk about?

      I listened to Metallica like a fiend back in the old days, Ride the Lightning was the first one I bought,...Went back and bought Kill'em All, then waited for Master to come out...I Loved them up until the disappointing Black album, which I did Not buy...At that point I was more into Paradise Lost, Napalm Death, Morbid Angel, Entombed etc., and also punk like Bad Religion, The Misfits,  Pennywise, and so on...

      Most of the "greatest" from 80's metal only had 3 good albums.

      I'm talking about albums good all the way through.  No filler.

      Metallica...first 3

      Megadeth....first 3  (although i'l accept if you swap So far, so good, so what for Rust in Peace)

      Anthrax....first 3

      Slayer...well that one starts a debate depending on if you like Show no Mercy or Hell Awaits more...but one of those, Reign in Blood, and South of Heaven.....still just 3.

  5. A new SNL skit that is actually funny for once: 

     

    1. Rick Dangerous

      My wife of all people showed me this.  Hilarious and very well done.

  7. Happy 79th Birthday, Woody Woodpecker!

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I used to watch Woody as a kid...Classic!  Do you guys remember how there were 2 Woodys?  I mean, it was kinda like the 2 Darrins on Bewitched... 

    2. retrorussell

      Interesting that Woody's voice was creator Walter Lantz's wife!

  8. Aside from Eternal Darkness, are there any other instances of Latin in video games? (Barring fan translations.)

    1. Lord Thag

      Lord Thag

      There's a couple of medieval RPG games that have latin in them as well, but the names escape me atm

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I forgot to mention Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, which used Latin for Shanoa's glyphs.

  9. If it were up to me, I would have ended the Terminator franchise with Salvation being the third and final film. Of course, the Universal Studios ride is what Salvation should have been.

    1. Shawn

      Shawn

      Wasn't Salvation the 4th film?

    2. SlidellMan
    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      IIRC, Salvation was the one that everybody loved, but they usually just ignore the second half of the movie, because...Lessee, I saw it twice and still don't remember what the heck happened...LOL

  10. RIP Robert Evans. I admit to liking his show on Comedy Central, even if it was short lived.

  11. For those who still remember The Golden Girls and ALF, here's The Wickedest Witch:

     

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Haha...I did not see that around Halloween of '89,   but I was in college...That year my GF dressed as a sexy mouse and I dressed up in my leather and spikes (the Heavy Metal look...)...

    2. Swami

      Swami

      The Golden Girls were muppets? Who'd have guessed?

  12. Are there any underwater levels that you guys don't hate?

    1. Razzie.P

      Razzie.P

      For some reason, my mind ignored the word "don't in there, and I was about to reply "all of them!"

       

      So yeah... can't think of any that I don't hate.

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I don't remember hating Mario on the Game Boy, when he's in his sub...

      Rayman Origins does them very well.

  13. I don't mind retcons as long as one is judicious with and put a lot of thought into them.

      deepthaw

      And then there's Armin Tamzarian.

  14. Even though he died ten years ago, Ben Spurgin did more to elevate Newgrounds last decade than Legendary Frog and Zekey Spacey Lizard combined.

  15. I've been thinking about making Carbon Fiber doors for my Dodge Dart. If the Ring Brothers and Ultra Carbon can do it, so can I. Don't worry, I'll make more than just two.

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Classic Dodge Dart or New Dodge Dart?  I do like both :)

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      '65 Dodge Dart GT with a 273 CI/4.5L V8. I wonder if you know any place that sells carbon fiber supplies?

  16. It's about time someone did this song justice: 

     

    1. Wally1

      Wally1

      what song?

       

    2. SlidellMan

      DKC3's Water World.

  17. If there is one genre that the Sega Game Gear excelled at: it would be RPGs, despite the lack of recognition until recently.

  18. I can't believe that I missed the news that Richard Williams (Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Thief and the Cobbler, Raggedy Ann and Andy) passed last month. In case anyone is wondering, I still like Who Framed Roger Rabbit.

      His book The Animator's Survival Kit is the best character animation reference book of all time... plus it's a beautiful book, almost completely hand-drawn and hand-written.

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      The Animator's Survival Kit and Preston Blair's books are musts when it comes to cartooning and animation. He will be missed.

  19. Happy belated birthday, Sega Dreamcast!

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Yup,  Happy Birthday!...   R.I.P. !    Wait...No, I'm right since SEGA killed the Dreamcast early...It totally had some more years left in her...

  20. Soundgarden's two best songs:

     

    RIP Chris Cornell.

    1. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      Haha, I actually can't stand Black Hole Sun anymore, it has to be in the top 5 most overplayed songs on MTV

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Big Dumb Sex

       

      Hands All Over

      @Nuclear Pacman: I can see where you are coming from.

  21. I wonder what kind of crossover between DC comics and Akira Toriyama would be like? (Obvious DBZ jokes not withstanding.)

  22. It irks me that Netherrealm Studios went from an awesome Mortal Kombat reboot, to a decent--albeit problematic--follow up, to something that makes everyone want to apologize to MK vs DC Universe. However, there is a silver lining to MK 11: the fatalities, brutalities, and X-Rays are as awesome as ever.

  23. It's been a long time since we heard anything from John Tobias. The last game he did that I know of was Tao Feng.

  24. Earth to Aaron Seltzer and Jason Friedburg: Mel Brooks beat you to the punch 32 years ago.

      They're part of the new generation of Hollywood.  Nothing that was done before they came along should matter.  Anything that they don't already know isn't worth knowing.  No matter what they've done, they were either the first ones to do it, or they did it better ... all while being unfailingly stunning and brave.

      I was referring to their upcoming Star Worlds movie, but you speak the truth, Jay Bird.
