Transformers is really a magical girl anime.

I dont know what's worse, the fact that I only just heard about this Star Wars game today despite it being announced months ago, or that it seems physically impossible for people to not make a star wars story about a smuggler with a furry sidekick who takes on a job from a shifty weirdo with a robot palling around.

I'm actually interested in this game. The developers have made a couple of games I really really love. Their Avatar game that released a few months ago got decent reviews. The graphics engine they use can produce some really gorgeous stuff.

They sent an email earlier, though it says for annual subscribers, so maybe there's another date for monthly? I have annual because HEI points are my only retirement fund and I'm fixing to quit working in 40 years or so.

They're gonna remake that Jenny video about driving cross country to get a giant spider but it's Mike driving cross country to get a shipping container full of Star Trek paraphernalia.

I want to know the story behind that 10-Forward play set. That's not something they ever sold, it has to be custom made. I wonder if the guy built it himself.

Is an old cartoon about a prehistiric family.

Khanstant
Apr 5, 2007
It's an old Hannah barbarian cartoon sitcom inspired by the Honeymooners. It follows the Flintstones family and their neighbors as they get up to various situations. The interesting thing about it is they are all in this kind of fantasy take on early human cultures, in a world where humans and dinosaurs coexist and various prehistoric animals work as tools and machines, like we do with some monkeys today, but the animals can talk and seem to have about as resigned a position to their work as we do with our own daily toils, which makes them relatable or act as comedic relief. They have advanced technology for their apparent level of development, like cars made out of bone, wood, and stone, that they power manually by pushing with their feet.

It's worth checking out if you've never seen it but be warned the main character is a real rear end in a top hat most of the time.

The Flintstones was a magnificent achievement in writing and animation. It was the first comedy ever made that contained no jokes.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fX9SMkKWFU

Like really. Some loose nonsense plot would lurch from scene to scene, the prehistoric setting being completely incidental, while not even a vague attempt at a joke would be made. But the laugh track would just keep going incessantly. It’s almost surreal in just how awful it is.

Yeah a lot of them had laugh tracks. It was just a product of the time where networks demanded it cuz “that’s just how it is, you hear the audience laughing. If there isn’t an audience then we gotta fake it, no other choice!”
