I love how they start out looking like bad fantasy cosplay and just progress more and more towards porn.

Wartune is on Kongregate too, so you can check it out easily enough: http://www.kongregate.com/games/r2games/wartune

They don't really show weather anymore. I remember back when I was a really small child that the weather channel didn't really even have an anchor. It was just a weather guy that would come on every 8 minutes on a loop and give you the national forecast by region. The rest of the time it was local weather with a poo poo load of info that pilots would use.

I remember it being just a blue screen with white weather reports typed up on it while Rhapsody in Blue played softly in the background, interrupted every so often with a computer generated voice announcing that now we're looking at local weather forecasts, etc. And lots of commercials for airlines and stuff business people would use.

Weather channel used to be something you could fall asleep too. Now it's really weird. I want them to go back to just spamming the local forecast.

Half the time now the local forecast is like pushed to the side while they show off AMAZING DISASTERS or something.

Maybe aliens like to go camping too? Or it could be a TARDIS. Anything could be a TARDIS.
