As old as the cartridges are, chances are good all the saves deleted themselves. Always had trouble when I got the urge to play one or two of those games, they'd be a bit picky about whether or not they remembered having saves.

My gut tells me one of the dudes next to her was General Wade Eiling. But that might just be my JLU bias..

Why does young-Clark wear glasses before even discovering he has powers? Why does he wear glasses at all prior to being resigned to having an alter identity? My Krypton knowledge might be pretty sparse, but, kinda thought they were largely "normal" (mostly due to having red sun), yet Jor-El is depicted as a flying older Superman? I'll let the high tech spaceship thing slide, at least. It's a stretch, but.. doesn't completely ruin anything yet. If you're going to throw in an anime costume transformation scene, you really gotta crank up the gratuitous fanservice, c'mon. Anyway. It's an origin story, which I'm never stoked on. But, I did catch in the credits, kinda nice to see Chris Parnell getting a role that isn't a total sad sack. Evidently, Mr. Black Ops was Slade. Ok, we can roll with that. And the cameo of Waller at the end, I can get down with. Ultimately, not knowing the Super-history super well, kinda wondering/hoping this is at least pulling from.. some actual source material? And not going crazy overboard with retcons. Otherwise, you kinda start alienating some of the comic book audience you're trying to target by deviating from established lore. Does sorta need to tone down the moe moe flirty omg they're totally crushing each other stuff, tho. Cute stuff is cute.. sure fine, sprinkle it in here and there for whatever. But, again, feels like a disservice to the core Superman audience you're trying to catch?

What the FF7 Remake should've been. I'll take an entire new game in Neo-Midgar any day over what we got...

Trigun Stampede dub to debut January 21, Johnny Yong Bosch returns as Vash
rpgamer replied to Jman's topic in Anime & Manga
Finally noticed Hulu has the dub up. Time to give it a go. Animation certainly.. takes some getting used to. Not bad.. but certainly a big departure from the original. Music seems like the bigger miss, tho. Show has a whole different vibe without that steel guitar. Guess they wanted a departure from space western.... Likewise maybe dropped the ball on just dumping so much exposition in episode 1. So much info that worked so much better as a slow reveal.. similarly not keen on letting Vash show off his shooting (even if it is just one bullet) in the first episode. It spoke so much about his character in the original that he didn't fire a single bullet until episode 5. I guess, exposition-wise, it at least does sorta help set up important elements like the Plants, and the planet's predicament, even if the Knives reveal was maybe far too early.. And, maybe just me, or maybe just the passage of time, but it did take a minute to really start to hear that old Vash. Maybe the character's just got a different tone from the original even. Idk.. Just sorta lacking that subtle sense of Vash being/acting like an absolute lunatic goofball.. maybe for the best as episodes go on, will see. Maybe too I just need to take this more in a FMA:Brotherhood-type approach, where they know the original already set the stage, and this is just diving straight into the meat of it. -
Reveal the ASMB mod identities!

You, uhh.... already spilled the beans a while ago.... -
Haahh. A blink-and-you-miss-it, they left in some of the frame/animation info or something during the transition after the power up, before "We've broken inside." "Property of Cartoon Network Studios" is almost cut off at the bottom. Whatever it's from is listed as 11070 10_354.mov

It's Summer, so naturally this thought came to mind.
rpgamer replied to GuyBeardmane's topic in General Discussion
Ok, but here's my eternal question: Do werewolves grow extra nipples when they transform? Or do they just always have extra nipples even when they're human? -
So, if I'm seeing right, fully half the block starting this week is dedicated to reruns? Eesh. I'm probably incredibly biased, cuz I've fully tuned it out and can't actually speak for the quality.. but I wouldn't be shocked if Naruto is also in some ways at the root of this, being in one last burst of filler hell. Looks like thankfully that will be coming to an end in a couple months or so at least; maybe getting back to canon can bring back some energy.. In general tho, as nice as it's been to have some big names on the block, maybe it'd be worth looking to cultivate more of a "cult classic" feel. Clearly they're not able to pick up new stuff very well or very often. So why not look back to find some sleeper hits. Sure that runs the risk of hitting a "that's old, people have already seen it" etc. But, idk. They could maybe pull off finding a few things that have those dedicated audiences, things that didn't catch the right attention and maybe just need a wider reach to catch on. Orrr, they're old and the reason they're not popular is because they're just not very good..

I mostly use dating apps as people watching. No real desire to socialize, and I'm finding I prefer my own isolation and solitude over wrecking my routines to include someone else..

Anyone here even use the Adult Swim app anymore?
rpgamer replied to [classic swim]'s topic in Toonami & [adult swim]
Mobile? I've maybe only used it once or twice. On Roku stick tho, occasionally. All the shows (but not necessarily all the episodes). Is handy to put on the simulcast if I can't be out on my main tv. -
All right. Whose turn is it to get the dragon balls? Not sure if joke is in poor taste, or if honoring her memory by cracking a dumb joke...

Unicorn: Warriors Eternal Episode 7 Talkback
rpgamer replied to Jman's topic in Episode Discussion Archive
His original body never died and remained preserved. Because, y'know, elf magic or something. It felt weird to me how the elf horns sounded like, idk, hockey goal buzzers or something. -

I deleted over 100gb of porn from my computer.
rpgamer replied to GuyBeardmane's topic in General Discussion
All you gotta remember is "Remake" is a misnomer, and there's a pretty high chance the game will piss you off if you're looking for a big hit of nostalgia. -
Definitely was stifled in the end with the cancellation, but at least got to tell the story it wanted as best it could. Saw the finale as a re-airing, thought it was ok but left some loose ends... until I watched the recording I had of the finale premier, with the entire extended ending post-credits scene stuff, and that did a lot to really tie it all up. With it ended, there's not really much left airing for me to get into. Amphibia caught me around the same time and also ended not so long ago. Really needs to be at least one of these cartoon greats airing somewhere at all times... but with Owl House getting canned the way it did, hard to imagine anywhere willing to invest in letting one really stretch and grow.

Who was your favorite admin on the old boards?
rpgamer replied to LoverDemon's topic in ASMB 20th Reunion
Is interesting what old archives you can dig up on some of these old names.... I was never part of it, but wonder if this will ring any bells for ya. https://www.angelfire.com/weird2/siren13/claspmugs/ -

Torrent seemed proper cool. Said he got picked up by Kongregate when he was leaving. Now that Flash games are dead, can only hope he managed to continue climbing higher... Which one was it that attempted the milk challenge? -
Random little threads you still think of that make you laugh

Random little threads you still think of that make you laugh
rpgamer replied to KaptKrunch's topic in ASMB 20th Reunion
IT'S MAGUS. The thread that I think was moved to the archives or something from the mod boards? All the mods just posting images/gifs, back when regular users were always limited to text. Every VirtualSatyr thread. The Josh thread. Because Joshes are terrible. cowboyardee's storytime thread, mostly when I remember capt_taco's story of discovering a buddy jacking off in the bathroom while whistling the Imperial March. Less on the funny side, but I also often think back to threads like Kikyou: Good, Bad, or just Misunderstood? Back when anime discussion genuinely dissected and discussed things, before discussion threads turned into play-by-plays. Or GELLHA. Good, Evil, Life, Love, Hate, Anime. The anime discussion thread for babblers too good to take it to OA (and also kinda a general no-topic chat thread thinly disguised with a broad subject). -
