@Morpheel That's because Metroid Prime 4 isn't even out yet!

MP5 is one of those games I'd love to buy, but for some reason it's like... Expensive.

@SheldonRandoms I’ve got the DVD sets somewhere in the house, which is rare for me. Includes a whole two seasons they declined to air.

Anyone try that Gem Wars ftp game on Switch? It’s from the puzzle quest folks, I played some and liked it

Remember watching the English version on Adult Swim. Was worth staying up late on a school night (or whenever it revved up).

@Anti-Matter: That's a show that I've heard of but admittedly haven't ever watched lol. If it's anything like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I'd probably enjoy it.

This one is my favorite 90's animated shows.

I'm a sucker for a lot of animated shows that are "classic" (depending on your perspective) and newer. I've seen older classics like Scooby-Doo, The Jetsons, Flintstones, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Johnny Quest....Throw that in with newer series that I think belong in a hall of fame like Avatar: The Last Airbender, the original Teen Titans, Jackie Chan Adventures, Recess, Rugrats....Dang. How much TV did I watch as a kid? XD

I've also watched my share of animated films too. Mostly of the Disney, some Dreamworks, and Don Bluth varieties. Now I'm getting the itch to watch The Secret of NIMH again....

Older SpongeBob is good, it's the newer SpongeBob episodes that are pretty meh.

Then again, I love animation in general.

@ThanosReXXX The Greek alphabet is a bit in between the Cyrillic alphabet and the Latin alphabet, making it easier I think. It also doesn't help that on top of the 30 or so standard letters, each country using the Cyrillic alphabet has their own set of additional characters. But if you know them you can tell stuff like Russian, Ukrainian and Mongolian apart and impress people. You know, once every two years or so when the opportunity arises...

@Morpheel love the tunes in fox n the hound.. the words are at the tip of my tongue but I can't make out what they were saying lol

Re: The Chit-Chat Thread

One that would always make me cry as a kid was the fox and the hound

Edit:
@ThanosReXXX: I dislike most old-timey "stupid comedy" in general. It just feels... Well, dumb. Specially if it involves violence as a joke. Anyway, you be happy, don't worry about it.

@AlohaPizzaJack Well, I don't know about there being a wider variety, seeing as I'm not really up to speed anymore with all the Disney XD and Nickelodeon trash... ;)
But as a kid in the 80's, I had more than enough cool stuff to watch. Japanese animation was on the rise, and many of these cartoons were broadcasted over here.

@Morpheel Oh, come on, you big softie. It wasn't abuse. It even has an official name: cartoon violence, which is described as a violence being so unrealistic and abstract, that it becomes too far removed from real life, and as such, most people can detach themselves from it, and simply laugh about a cat swallowing an ironing board, subsequently being used as a surf board, then getting overrun by an ocean steamer, and ultimately running out of the sea screaming because a shark is biting him in the behind... ;)

You must really hate classic slapstick movies as well... :P

@NEStalgia Only in your eyes. Big difference between deer and lions is that even adult deer can still look cute.
I would also much rather run into one of those than into a full-grown lion... :P

P.S.

Still waiting on a reply concerning those wonderful anime trailers, which actually took me some trouble to find, because the ones I specifically wanted, were buried in a whole lot of crappy and different ones. Long live YouTube... ;)

Yeah, and they actually went by the idea that if the tragedy section is brought out immediately, then it's easier to replace with all the happiness later.

@Morpheel You're not allowed to have feelings. You make creepy teeny weenie beebies

Re: The Chit-Chat Thread

I'd say those were more into the emotional manipulation category, instead of "violence for the lols" like tom a jerry and the looney tunes.

They're meant to make you sad, not make you giggle.
