Seriously, Everquest Live was the best MMO ever, the non-existant QOL was paramount to the experience and the gameplay was beautiful in its simplicity! *installs Everquest *plays Everquest for 15 minutes *uninstalls Everquest

Here is the 1982 Incredible Hulk writer’s bible. http://spider-friends.com/HULK1982/Memorabilia/multimedia/Hulk_bible.pdf Unlike the prime time t e l e v i s i o n version, in the animated series the Hulk will not run or move quickly during action sequences (except when he leaps). On t h e contrary, an added degree of drama will be created by t h e heaviness of his movements. His motions will be relentless, unstoppable. And a far more frightening level of jeopardy will be a c h i e v e d by having the Hulk lumber slowly toward his victims, allowing them time to run away. But the Hulk will continue after them, b r e a k i n g through walls, impregnable fortresses, or rock caverns to reach them just when they start to feel safe. If the Hulk were faced with a threatening army tank he would not simply grab it and toss it o.s. as we might see done in other shows. To heighten t h e drama we might see him stand fast, holding his massive a r m s out, letting the tank run into him and slam to a halt, cutting closer to see the treads grinding uselessly into the earth. we will take the time see the soldiers inside, r e a c t i n g as would any normal person to the incredible beast t h a t i s stopping their twenty ton tank bare handed. We might see t h e Hulk grab the barrel, slowly squeezing it in his hands, i t s metal groaning under the pressure of his enormous, g r e e n fingers. We would see the bystanders reacting in awe as the Hulk tears off the tank treads, pausing to look at them inquisitively, as might some wild animal who had never seen o n e before.

titties posted:Remember Blackstar? Now that was a cool cartoon. Those classic Filmation mattes were amazing in a far future post apocalyptic style. Blackstar was dope. John Redcorn looking dude on a dragon. Cool alien sorceress lady. And that tribe of seven dwarfs-ish little pink dudes he lived with. One of them had huge ears that he could flap and fly around with. Looks like a bunch of full episodes are on YouTube.

super sweet best pal posted:Thinking about how sharply Dexter's Lab declined after the movie. Should've just ended it right there and had a perfect run. I think the weirdest thing about late Dexter's Lab was how every time Mandark wasn't on the screen all the other characters were saying "where's Mandark?". Dude was in like 4 episodes in the original seasons.

I grew up in the 70's. There were some great characters but lousy animation. Hong Kong Phooey, the OP Scooby Doo, Quick Draw McGraw, the Rocky and Bullwinkle show and the Flintstones on rerun. Thankfully there was a ton of WB cartoons every Saturday morning. I learned who Wendell Willkie was before I knew who Wendell Willkie was.

I've brought this up at various times, but back in the 90s there was going to be another MTV animated series called "Toxic Foxx" about an 80s hair metal band trying to survive in the late 90s. It had a short mention in TV Guide and a very short band cameo in an episode of Celebrity Deathmatch, but the cartoon itself apparently never saw the light of day. When I did some digging years ago the only thing I really found on it was an animator's resume from the 00s that listed they'd worked on it, but other than that, nothing. I'm not even sure how 'lost media' this is. I've never seen it brought up anywhere by anyone in those lost media videos so it's possible NOTHING of note was ever produced except the Deathmatch episode and maybe some character model sheets or test animations, so there's nothing really out there to even find of it.

Batman Beyond is a show that would have died if released a decade later thanks to the power of the internet. Late 90s or so when it was first announced, comic book fans were pissed with every aspect of it from the first word, to the first images, to the first few episodes. It was a show that really had to fight hard to win people over and I'm surprised that it did. I can't remember if Return of the Joker having an 'edited' version is maybe what tipped the scales, though. Suddenly there was a more mature version of the film that was being denied fans by the studio and that galvanized the fandom into a more pro-Beyond stance to force the studio to release it.

Hell, it even had its own spinoff that imo was pretty good, though kinda funny that The Zeta Project has pretty much no connection to being in the DC universe besides the one episode where Batman shows up again.

I think they use Zeta-like bots as the hologram-grunts for training in JLU. But yeah, that's about as far as it goes. Static Shock has more of a connection.

WEEEEEE ON THE ELECTRIC GUITAR" edit: man, a lot of the 80-90s cartoon music was rockin'. edit 2: that girl that I was waiting for the bus at her house was nasty. Her nose seemed to be constantly running and she'd take her whole hand and run it up her nose vertically to clear it. It was weird.

dee eight posted:Clutch Cargo or gtfo It was a bit on the creepy side. The way the mouths moved was weird. I remember watching "Mr. E, From Tau Ceti" If I'm not mistaken, this was originally some eastern European cartoon that was dubbed in English later on. It was released in the late 60s or early 70s. There were something like 20 episodes in the series, discussing various aspects of human history and related topics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgJIKAsXcVA

I've mentioned this in other threads, so I'll go ahead and mention it here, too. My brother and I got into the habit as kids of watching VHS tapes well past the end of the credits when we rented cartoons. After the credits there would be these unadvertised cartoons and programming after a few minutes. I don't know how we found this out, but it was pretty common from VHS tapes that were made in the early 80s to the mid-80s. Years later, I came to assume that blank tapes were expensive and that some of the early VHS dubbing companies might have been reusing tapes and doing bulk recording. This would lead to tapes running at different lengths and either the 'master' or the 'copy' tape would end up this extra footage on them. It seems like the basis of some analog horror story, but it was something we experienced and I don't know if anyone else had that happen to them or not growing up.

Watching "Rocky and Bullwinkle" is pretty fun since the writing is very funny, and the animators aren't ever quite sure where to draw Bullwinkle's mouth.

Korea in particular has been described as "the shrimp caught between two whales." So if you wanna take shots at China, your Korean and Japanese studios will likely be on board. Probably stick to Korea for the Japanese racism.
