    Sonic The Hedgehog

    Chaos doesn't need a single line of dialog to explain his motive. Try that with Shadow. I agree that Adventure 1 is a more meandering story, but that's because they tried to give every character a meaningful role instead of anyone just being along for the ride. That is except for Big, who has...

    After a whole year of job hunting why is this the thing where I finally get an interview?

    The last thing Hasbro's going to do right now is diversify their card offerings any more.

    Depressing Beast Wars question

    I don't lump that whole era together. I consider the PS1 a different beast. N64 characters move like marionettes, and I can't unsee it. For me the PS1 warping and jiggling... I want to say "smooths it out" but that's wrong, because PS1 graphics are exactly the opposite of smooth. But it does...

    Depressing Beast Wars question

    Game engine developers must be scratching their heads these days. They worked so hard to make sure even the lowest settings won't produce graphics like that, and then we work just as hard trying to force the graphics to look like that.

    So I recently learned something about myself...

    That makes a lot of sense. It's recommended that people who want to try lucid dreaming should get in the habit of doing reality checks, but your brain is already doing that intuitively. Any missing detail gets flagged immediately. This is so fascinating.

    Dubbed vs Subtitled

    I forgive 4Kids for one reason. They found Mike Pollock.

    Dubbed vs Subtitled

    I am totally interested in those translators' notes. The nuances can be fascinating. But within the subs, I want to see something that works well enough. English has a lot of words. Pick something. I guess it feels like watching something vs studying it. If there's more to it than what I'm...

    Dubbed vs Subtitled

    Reading doesn't bother me. It doesn't feel like I'm putting in any extra effort. But don't make me pause to read a paragraph explaining the words you chose not to translate because their meaning is just too darned special to convey in English.

    Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    I wonder why piloted mecha are so much more popular than sentient mecha over there, while here it seems to be the opposite.

    The Caffeinated Equine Thread

    FreeDOS is great and I love it, but I have had a few programs fail to work because they look for files the FreeDOS developers renamed for no reason except to feel special, because FOSS developers are cursed that way. So I'm trying a weird fork of DR-DOS instead. I already miss some of the...

    You know what? I'm bored. Maybe I should go for it. VPs don't have to do much, right?

    Masterpiece Theater: the MP thread

    Yup. If we want a toy version, we have to buy both, and have a leftover anime cab. Now imagine the guy who wants toy and anime trailers. That guy has to buy three versions, and still ends up with a leftover cab. I wouldn't buy this if I were a billionaire. Hug Takara for doing it this way.

    Transformers Legacy toyline

    Honestly that almost redeems it for me. At least it's based on something. Probably the wrong something, but at least there's a reason.

    Swapticons (new gimmick line)

    Part of me thinks it's too good to be true. I'm not going to see this insane shared alt mode concept finally produced. It'll be some Hero Mashers thing. But I can't get past the conspicuous pairings of characters that could share an alt mode. There's no way they were dividing characters among a...

    I appreciate the nuttiness of it, and that they did it without removing the tank mode.

    Depressing Beast Wars question

    It just doesn't register with me at all. I know it's dated. I see the low res textures and primitive lighting. But I also see the top notch facial animations and constant expressive body language, and it's so natural that it lulls my brain into accepting what I'm seeing. It's hypnotic.
