Oh good! I must’ve seen the same thing and left it at that. Thanks for the clarification!

I think it (along with adult swim in general), sort of shaped a randomness in early Internet culture. I love the unscripted silliness of it all.

But space ghost died too :(

I remember watching it as a kid when it premiered in ‘94 (I think), and just not getting it. Appreciate the heck out of it now.

10 bucks says it’s Sylvester Stallone. My neighbor is a PI obsessed with the guy, and stated eerily similar things. Take it as you will, I’m just a rando (get it, rando, RAMBO?) on the Internet after all.

Me too!

Fine. Sonic fans are making better Sonic games than Sega’s development partners. Doesn’t change the fact that most of Sonic has been bad for a while, and the best (subjectively speaking) title to come out in a long while is essentially a fan love letter.

Difference being Sonic fans are making better Sonic games than Sega... (looking at Sonic Mania)

Sega also missed the opportunity to partner with Sony, which you can only imagine the repercussions that could have been. Back when Tom Kalinske was president of Sega of America, he had significant influence in the company. He attempted to convince Sega of Japan to partner with Sony following the Nintendo fallout.…

I’m not terribly well versed in the controllers for DC besides the regular and fishing rod, but were there not many arcade sticks available to it? If not, color me surprised.

I picked that and Cannon Spike up at a rummage about a decade ago for $5 each in minty-fresh condition. Definitely one of my better finds.

I’m just glad I shelled out for some of those Capcom titles back in the day. Values are outrageous these days.

Still got it.

Completely agree. Grabbing the star from the eel’s butt was an exercise in fear for my younger self. I didn’t realize coins would refill your air, but hey, Mario logic.

I won a Mario vs. Sonic argument with that when I was 7.
“Oh yeah, well at least Mario can breathe underwater”

I know a number of arcade games would have some sort of countermeasure to ensure you were constantly moving. Mario Bros comes to mind with the ghost fireball that appears for no other reason.

New Super Luigi U scared me this way. Not only is it difficult, you have to be flawless and quick a lot of the time.

Dude that game is getting expensive now! Great fricking game.

Definitely. I’ve played every Final Fantasy (proper), and I understand the fan-base is massive and divisive when it comes to how the series has transitioned since it started. At the end of the day, its just a game, and we’re a bunch of monkeys flying through space on a spinning rock.

I’m 31, and I’m glad I never got into Reddit culture (don’t get me wrong, there are some good pages/useful things). I’ve never seen a more productive and simultaneously destructive culture. It’s like a support group where everyone is still doing narcotics... I think you and I are at that cusp age of knowing life…
