Conquer Club

Ah, springtime in Wyoming. 1 day, we get 6-8 inches of near continuous snow fall, 2 days later it's all gone.

Never much got into the Marvel/DC comic books, but the animated shows and movies I've enjoyed. Watched old reruns of Justice Friends back when I was little, watched the X-men, Batman TAS, Spiderman, Justice Leage, etc. However two of my favorite shows have been Teen Titans (animated series, from what I've learned, is a lot less dramatic and more light hearted than the comic books) and Young Justice. Teen Titans I watched it when it came out and was sad it just basically ended without an "ending" episode. 8 years later I come across Young Justice, a more serious and action based series with really only Robin being the only character in common from Titans.

Teen Titans I enjoyed because I was at the right age. It came out with a sequal series not long ago called "Teen Titans Go!" And the only good thing about it is that it uses the voice cast from the original series.

Young Justice lasted two years (the guy who created it was also the creator of Gargoyles, one of my favorite shows growing up), had some pretty good stories, plotlines, and characters with depth. The second season was set up to fail by being constantly delayed between episodes, killing viewership, by none other than Cartoon Network itself (the network that had aired both series). Young Justice had won awards, high viewership, and was enjoyed by many. Worst of all, and one of my biggest pet peeves in books, tv series, and movies was that it was ended on a cliffhanger. Been canceled.

I know, rant, but still.

Knock 'em dead. And then, make sure to run from the police, since you will have just committed murder.

Dude, 90's comic book cartoons were awesome. Spidey and X-Men were fucking great, way better than the shit from the turn of the century onward. I seriously hated the animation from these latest iterations. Last I saw they were on Netflix, so that was pretty cool seeing them again. Now if only they'd get Gargoyles on streaming, too...

Gargoyles is on youtube actually. So, no need even for a subscription.

The latest animated series, Batman The Brave and the Bold I think, yeah its not a very good animation style. Young Justice though, had some incredible animation in it. Story was pretty good too, but it ended on a cliffhanger. Teen Titans was good, the animation fit the style it was going for. Teen Titans Go is like the retarded red-headed step-brother of Teen Titans though.

But yeah, Gargoyles is on youtube. A little searching and you can find full length episodes.

Damn it. Now I am probably going to spend my internet time watching Gargoyles when I meant to finish reading back through my current mafia game.

MY EYES

Anyways, kind of getting back to playing a little Guitar Hero. Still can't get beyond the 3 buttons, because my motor skills of my pinky by itself is about non-existant. And after getting back into it, it turns out they haven't done anything with the series in years. They did DLC for it for a while, but that was 3 years ago. That said, I do have a "Rock Band-ish" game with AC/DC songs. The animated characters look nothing like AC/DC, but at least it has the songs.

Market oversaturation. Killed the whole genre. I'm pretty sure there was a period where they released 5-6 "Hero" branded rhythm games in the course of a year. Rock Band lasted a little longer (probably because their business model was better), but they uploaded their last DLC track about a year ago.

Quirk, those are awesome pictures of your son!

That's what I heard. Shame really, as it had quite a bit of potential, especially with the new consoles out.

You guys should just go play the Nintendo music games where you used the DK bongos to beat along with music.

Game 14460851 Filled

I haven't played a game in about 2 years. Zombie and parachute are new terms to me. And the dice have been proven to hate me (about a 40% rolls that go my way overall).

Here's a detail from the birthday cake the curlette made for me.
