I like a "keeping virtually no tabs on these situations" approach. Like, I see it come up and feel like all I really need to know is in a video's title most of the time.

There is clearly a worse side in this debacle and its clearly QuantumTV. But leave it to this thread to get sidetracked about a Wendigoon I guess! edit: For a moment I thought those tweets were from QuantumTV and not Actman. Alright geez. Guess its a case of a terrible person going against a terrible person. (still, dont threaten their mother for pete's sake) DeafNote fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Jun 10, 2022 |

Dawgstar posted:So is it true that when you beat a boss you have a limited chance to buy the loot box it drops with real money and if not, oh well? Yes and no. To be clear this isn't in any way a defense of the game because what I'm describing is pretty drat bad. From what I've seen, when you kill a boss for the first time, the game uses it as an opportunity to hit you with a pop-up ad. Like you kill the skeleton king, he drops normal boss loot, but then also an ad shows up like "hey! You killed that boss. Wanna buy a discounted bundle of cash shop items?" So it's not really the "boss's loot" you're having to pay for. That stage of the game is when they're still trying to sucker you into thinking you can have fun for free. However, the game does do what you're describing, just in a different order. When you do rifts, you can use "legendary crests" when you create the rift dungeon, and the more you use, the better loot you get at the end. You get very, very few legendary crests for free, but you can buy them with real money. The difference between a rift with no crests and a rift with a lot of them is gigantic. No crests = no bonus loot, no legendary gems, nothing. Lots of crests = a fountain of legendaries. Please forgive the Asmongold video but this is the best 45-second clip to illustrate the difference I could find: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RWh6cxDKHY The "best" part? That fountain of legendaries you see there? Most of them are trash. Legendary gems have a star rating from 1 to 5 stars and the vast majority of gems you get will be 1 or 2 star. If you do get a gem that could be 5 stars, it's probably going to start as a 1 or 2 star gem that you then have to upgrade with even more resources.

However the loot boxes that you get from bosses do go up in price the further you get. The first one is $.99, the second is $1.99 and the third is $4.99

I just wanted to share this because I think it's really impressive. The work on making the visuals match up, the song changing lyrics but still syncing up with the original, Hyper Potions did the guitar in the background, the animator herself does the singing. It's just a really impressive little parody: For context, here is the intro to The Ghost and Molly McGee: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w-9N-Ycr8U8 And here is a Doki Doki Literature Club parody of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApX1WNU5hok

Cybersix is bizarre when you lay it out but it comes together quite well. French/Canadian/Japanese sorta not quite anime based on Argentine comics. Quite the spread. Plus Six has a brother who is a human brain shoved into a Panther who hunts evil nazi science experiments.

Oh heck yeah, Video and Arcade Top 10 was the best! I have distinct memories of how that show went awry when the Virtual Boy came out because their go-to strategy for capturing game footage up to that point was to point a camera at the tv someone was playing the game on, but that only worked properly about 50% of the time with the Virtual Boy's built-in headset, so half the time footage of Virtual Boy games would just cut out to blurry footage of people ambling around the tv studio as seen through a pair of VR goggles. A few other Canadian nostalgia trips: - Multiple, separate PSAs warning kids not to just shove random things they find into their mouths. - A recurring character called "Elvays" who showed up in the interstitial host segments in the late 90s. He was an actual bust of Elvis with the mouth of one of the hosts doing an unidentifiable (And completely un-Elvis sounding) accent superimposed over it, Clutch Cargo style - Yvon of the Yukon, a cartoon about a 16th century French explorer who fell overboard in the artic ocean and was then thawed out in the modern day Yukon by a huskie peeing on him. - Big Wolf on Campus: A comedic take on the Buffy the Vampire Slayer formula from the early 2000s about the captain of the local high school football team being attacked by a werewolf and using his newfound werewolf powers to fight supernatural crime alongside the local goth dweeb. - The House Hippos, a faux-documentary PSA about a species of mouse-sized hippopotami that live in people's houses that was ostensibly supposed to teach kids not to believe everything they see on TV - ASTAR, the Robot from Planet Danger, the star of a PSA for the War Amps that taught kids...Not to get their arms accidentally chopped off, I guess?

The only thing I remember about YTV specifically (as in I remember a bunch of shows I watched but that’s different) is they changed the between show segments in the time slot I watched them a lot from a woman with a raccoon puppet (I think?????) sidekick to just a couple of boring people and I was both upset and confused by it.

That actually happened multiple times: In the first few years following the network's formation the Program Jockeys (Or PJs as they were more frequently called) were accompanied in the between-show interstitial segments by a group of puppets called "The Grogs". This lasted until 1994 when a dispute between the puppets creators and the network over licensing a merchandising rights caused the team to break off its relationship with the network. This was represented to viewers as a special, New Year's Day event in which the network was supposedly taken over by Warren Chester Grog, one of the most prominent of the Grog puppets, who was eventually thwarted by the actions of the PJs. The Grogs' creators would go on to create the children's show Nanalan' and the pre-teen to teen focused show Mr. Meaty for Nickelodeon.  Pictured above: The Grogs and their creators Following the Grogs' departure, they were replaced by a different set of puppets called the Fuzzpaws in the channel's weekday afternoon and morning segments. Among the cast of Fuzzpaws were Fazz, who was some kind of parrot creature; Archie, who looked like some kind of cat weasel someone fished out of a trash can; Boon, who was a green rat with a 90s slacker persona; Fezz, Fazz's girlfriend who was repeatedly referenced by Fazz in segments before making her on-screen debut; and Clifford, who looked like the offspring of an early Muppet and a Rastafarian stereotype. When YTV spun its preschool-focused shows off onto their own channel (Treehouse TV) the interstitial segments featuring the Fuzzpaws were dropped from the main network and the Fuzzpaws were given their own show on Treehouse TV, alongside a tv show based on a popular recurring act from the segements "PJ Katie's Farm"*. It only ended up lasting 2 seasons.  Pictured: The Fuzzpaws post-spinoff. I believe the the grey-furred ape woman wearing a hat and the bee on a stick were additions for the show. The weekday afternoon segments (Or The Zone as it was called), would go without puppets for a while following the Grog's departure but would eventually pair host Phil Guerrero up with a new puppet. A frequent feature of the segments in the early days was a CRT monitor they used to play video clips, but during one segment the TV started acting up and had to be sent to the repair shop. A week or so later, when the TV it had been turned into a weird puppet-creature named Snit. Snit was a strange creature that essentially consisted of a CRT monitor covered in a substance that looked like chewed, purple bubblegum with eyes and little robot arms, with the TV screen serving as his "mouth". The puppeteer would hold a pair of fake teeth closely in front of a camera, the footage of which would be projected onto Snit's screen to make him "talk". Human host Phil Guerrero was initially resentful of having to work with another puppet and would frequently steer segments off-topic with weird ad-libs and would frequently mention things about Snit's puppeteer as though Snit and he were the same person (The puppeteer's car came up fairly frequently, with Snit feigning ignorance about what Phil was talking about). Phil has also gone on to state that he was very high when recording a number of segments, which you can really see on review as an adult. Snit would eventually be launched into space sometime around 1997, though he would briefly return for his own weekend morning segment that ran from 1999-2001  Pictured: Snit and PJ "Fresh" Phil * - PJ Katie's Farm was a nostalgia trip unto itself: It's entire premise was a single person (The titular PJ Katie) narrating and acting out little stories using a series of crude animals she'd made one day out of Crayola Model Magic. This thing had no budget, as demonstrated by one-off and recurring characters including a styrofoam egg Katie got at a craft store, and an actual Danish that was very clearly part of her lunch.

I can thank YTV for pretty much all the anime I grew up with in the 90s. Early mornings had Sailor Moon, and I would rush home after school to catch the solid lineup of Pokemon, Digimon, and Monster Rancher, followed by Dragon Ball Z in the evening. I know I still have the autographs of PJ Katie and Loonette from The Big Comfy Couch in a box somewhere. Danaru posted:
