Mostly just DBZ for me. Some others were Angry Beavers, Catdog, Rocko's Modern Life, Ah Real Monsters!, Cardcaptor Sakura (I have no shame in this), and others they flung on TV.

Not that cartoons aren't good anymore. Avatar the Last Airbender is a fantastic series. Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and most superhero cartoons are well animated and well written. I even have something of a fondness for the newer, older Ben 10. It's not particularly amazing, but it's not bad either.

However, NONE OF THEM COMPARE to the best cartoon ever made: Fairly Odd Parents.

True, there's good and bad in every decade of cartoons.   The ones in my  youth are horribly hokey and cheesy, I'll admit.  Many of the ones now can be very sophisticated and well-written.
Of course, the writers know that adult nerds like us are watching them.  :P

DBZ? It's all about the original Dragonball, man! Once Vegeta showed up, the entire franchise went downhill.

I've watched a little bit of Ben 10, and it was pretty good. (I couldn't get over how Max was Colonel Campbell in disguise, though.) Apart from that, I admit to not being very familiar with today's cartoons - half an episode of Yugioh was enough to turn me off of it.

Edit: DBZ was a show was about aliens shooting lazer beams whilst screaming. Its a time honored children's concept (see Transformers) and I think it went downhill when they made DB:GT. DB was good and better written, but not nearly as awesome inducing.


Oh I watched a lot of the original Yu Gi Oh. Not because it was well written or even that good, but because the voice acting was AWESOME.

Seriously, EVERYONE in the show hams up their performance and its brilliant. Even the simple action of drawing or placing a card requires a booming voice, closeup and gratuitious effects.

Example;
"I need another Deus Ex card in order to win this match!"
*glares at deck with music going*
*draws card in the most overly-elaberate way possible from a wrist-mounted contraption that projects holograms (saying it out loud DOES make it sound stupid)*
*looks at card with motion blur!*
*smiles*
"I CALL ON GAIA, THE FIERCE KNIGHT. WITH A DESTRUCTIVE POWER OF 26 HUNDRED!"
*big effects and AWESOME voice acting*

Every other minute this is the show. Its like watching a Brawndo commercial downplayed for kids.

More posts coming tomorrow.  I ran out of time tonight, but the plots have not yet...

...but I've already said too much.

I'm assumign we're doing something of a little timeskip to the morning tomorrow?

Yup.  I needed another hour and a bit to finish writing up all the stuff that I needed to in order to start out your new day so I'll have to continue that tomorrow.

Please refrain from posting about the morning until I get a chance to post.  Carry on into the evening if you'd like but it should be a very interesting morning.

no problem, O Captain, My Captain.   :)

We await your commands.

Sorry for my delays, i'll try and get caught up X_X

So I hate to go off topic, but if you guys can, check out the Chile miner rescue going on today. It is an amazing story O_O.

Okay.  I think that everyone has something to do.  Please let me know if I've missed anyone.

Yes, I was watching it on the news.   Very impressive.   I loved how the foreman made sure he was the last to leave.   It's good to see that even after all that time, he thought about his men first.

Sorry for the long silence, folks.  I have not quite been trapped in a collapsed mine, but I may as well have been for all of the attention I have been giving online gaming these days.  Hope to get back on track soon.

Real life, even for those of us who have it easier than miners, can be rough and should always come first.
No worries, my friend.  If there's anything we can do, please let us know.

Bleh, all the action seems to be going on in the private threads, and I'm stuck waiting for Bard to come back...

There's a reason for going private at the moment.  The hidden threads will be revealed later on so anyone who's interested can catch up.

I'll be updating a little later on, once I've finished up with work.

In reply to Jake Franklin (msg #198):

Sorry about that.  Hopefully we'll all live long enough to give you a private thread soon.

Well, I for one don't intend to die anytime soon...

*grins*   A woman after my own heart.

Woman?

*glances down*

Ah, yeah. I was feeling rather tight in my tunic...

*chuckles*  You get used to it.

Well....sort of.

*grumble grumble*

In reply to Wolfgang Stienblat (msg #205):

*smiles*

Some of us get used to it faster than others, I guess?

*sighs and blushes*   Um.....maybe?

*looks embarrassed*
