Dr. Rated-R

Airing. I find most mid-90s cartoons I have a vague recollection of were oneshots featured on either Nickelodeon's Oh Yeah! Cartoons or Cartoon Network's What A Cartoon!. However, possibly remembering more than one episode hurts the chances of that. I've done some Google action and found nothing, but I'm sure you probably already tried that. I suggest you ask on the forums at RetroJunk. They helped me remember the name of short-lived cartoon The Completely Mental Misadventures of Ed Grimley, and it doesn't get much more obscure than that.

I feel like I've seen this, but I can't quite peg it either. What time period are we talking, exactly?

Got my hands on Kraven's Last Hunt and almost all of the back issues I need to get up to date on Batman/Detective Comics/Robin yesterday. Cap comes next time I get payed. Kraven's Last Hunt is a fun read so far, but the art style bugs me. That vintage look. I'm just so used to the uber-detailed style that Marvel and DC have adopted since the '90s that it's hard to get used to.

Meh, I've always been a fan of the person I'm too lazy to spoiler tag. I like his gimmick. With that in mind, it didn't bother me too much. Better choices could have been made, probably, but I was okay with it. Mainly because it was more of a Peter Parker story than a Spider-Man one, so it didn't matter as much, if that makes sense. I'd recommend it to anybody looking for a TPB, too. Good for getting into Peter Parker as a character, I think. Blue is definitely a personal favorite, like all the other Loeb-Sale collabs I've read. I just wish there were more good Spidey limited series'. Or at least more good ones I know about. I feel like one could waste his life away reading Batman oneshots and the like, but I've seen almost nothing from Spider-Man except Blue and uh, what was it again, Reign? I think.

I've got another trip to the, uh, "local" (about 65 miles away, but I have the misfortune of living in the rural south) comic book/D&D/fanboy store tomorrow in search of the awesome Spider-Man: Blue and a few SNES games, so I'll be sure to take a look for it while I'm there.

No problem going back that far on Caps. I'm already going back a ways on Batman stuff, so it works out pretty well. It keeps me swamped with stuff to read without getting too bored of any series, switching between them.

You guys were right on Detective Comics. Much better than Batman, which so far (I've read about 3-4 issues in the Batman & Son arc) is switching between above average and meh. Heck, I actually prefer Robin to it, too. Totally surprised me, given I've hated almost all interpretations of Robin in the movies and TV shows, and have avoided him almost entirely in comics up until today. It's pretty solid stuff. That said, I'm looking for a few more suggestions for monthly stuff, mainly from Marvel. Favorite characters are Spidey, Iron Man, and Captain America. Anybody got any suggestions on where to start with each? I just don't want to pick up in the middle of any ongoing arcs.

EDIT - Disregard. Had two threads open. ...how about them Pokemans?

That's a bit too much to keep up with, so I'm gonna start off trying to read the four you suggested. Google tells me Morrison picked up Batman from issue 655 in June 2006, so I guess I'm starting with... -Batman 655 -Detective Comics 821 -Nightwing 122 -Robin 152 ...and moving up from there. I've got a lot of free time these days, so these shouldn't be too hard to get up to date on.

The only reason I wanted to go back a ways was for the possibility of a nice, convenient backstory. I've read Year One and figured that may be a good place to start from, but I'm leaning towards starting from Morrison's run now. Also, being a bit of a newbie (I've stuck mainly to limited series stuff, like The Long Halloween and Spider-Man: Blue) to reading a proper series, I'm wondering if there is a set "way" to read? Like, just how interwoven are Batman and Detective Comics? Do I need both to get the big picture, or are they set in different continuities? I'm sure I phrased that question terribly. I'm a little short on sleep.

I'm looking to get into the main Batman comic series. Where's a good place to start, without having to go all the way back to the first issue? Price and availability don't matter. I can start anywhere, really, I just don't feel like reading through the awkward '50s and '60s periods.

Fuck me. This is difficult. 10. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney 09. WWF No Mercy 08. Pokemon Diamond 07. Tony Hawk's Underground 06. Banjo-Kazooie 05. Crash Bandicoot 2 04. Grand Theft Auto IV 03. Donkey Kong Country 2 02. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas 01. Super Mario World I'll probably hate that combination tomorrow. But for now, there you are.

Since Tristy's offline, I'll hijack. It's Joker's fatality from the new game. 'Tis epic.

Post a picture of your adapter, if possible. If one of the prongs is just bent out of place or something, just bend it back. You should be able to do so with your hands. That happens to me with stuff all the time.

The phrase "stagger away" was essentially just a placeholder for any number of situations that would lead to his survival. Your own theory, escaping via aid from a character we'll meet later on, or any other situation with even remote plausibility can be plugged in there. And yeah, Ledger's death is the key catalyst for a possible Dent return. It sort of throws whatever groundwork that may have been in place for a sequel out the window.

That's easily worked around, though. It's not like a Battle Royale-esque death indicator popped up when he fell. Considering no story has been penned for the third film, it's entirely possible Dent could return. His entire arc in the film seemed to lend itself to that pretty well, until his demise. I'm not disputing the fact that this is solid evidence to look over him, just stating he shouldn't be written out as a consideration completely. Ideas change all the time. I forget. Do we see Dent's body at the funeral? Is it possible (based solely on what was ultimately seen on film, not what the script claims) that he was merely assumed dead, only to eventually stagger away on his own power? I did the midnight showing, so a few things towards the end are a little hazy.

I finally get to finish Grand Theft Auto IV in a few days. I've got pretty shit vision and I've been suffering through playing on a 13-inch television set. This was all well and good until I lost my glasses. Luckily, one of my best friends is getting an HD TV tomorrow and he's gonna give me his old 30-inch. I'm pumped.

Yeah think I am quite far in to it just beat the Temple of the Ocean King for the 4th time(after the Ghost Ship), is there any other DS games like Zelda? Funnily enough at 21 this is the first Zelda I have ever played. Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Rings of Fate plays kind of like Ocarina of Time. Pretty fun, too. If you like platform games Sonic Rush, New Super Mario Bros, The Simpsons Game, and Megaman ZX Adventures (I believe it's called) are all tremendous. Tony Hawk's American Sk8land is also surprisingly awesome. Feels just like the classic Playstation games.

I love you. Finally, a skin I like better than my own. Installing pronto.

I already checked Who's photobucket. There's a few good Animal pics, with the third one you listed being perfect, but there are no good Hawk pics. Those two are low quality and just bad.

Can somebody get me kyky pics for those two? I've just reformatted and haven't installed Photoshop yet.

Cannibal Holocaust is mine. A friend of mine payed like $70 for a special edition set, and we had a little viewing party. It wasn't exactly easy to sit through. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be, though. But I think, getting away from cheap answers, I'd have to pickThe Devil's Rejects. The scene with Terri from Three's Company is second only to the masturbation scene in The Exorcist, in my book. The movie was such a mind fuck for me. I felt sympathetic for the Firefly family after the big finish, and that's what gets me.

I'm going to spend some time today working on Dragon Quest VIII. I bought it new for $14, along with a used copy of Legend of Dragoon for $8. I was actually more anxious to get into the latter of those two games, but it didn't occur to me I no longer had a PS1 memory card. So, yeah, Dragon Quest it is until I get some spare change. Other than that, I'm still trudging along in Grand Theft Auto IV. It's got a great story, but it just doesn't offer anywhere near as much to do as the last installments that keep me playing. I find I'll beat a mission or two a day, enjoy that, and then take care of any necessities (getting health and body armor before saving, going out on a date, etc.) before turning it off after less than an hour of play. I spent hours a day messing around on the previous titles, though. And I'm always playing stuff on my DS. Megaman ZX Adventures, Sonic Rush, and The World Ends With You are my current titles, but I generally don't play it much unless I'm out somewhere and bored. I plan to finish the last two Phoenix Wright games when I travel cross-country with some friends in a few weeks.

You still need that Tropius? If you can wait till mid-day (EST time) Monday, I can provide you an egg so it has your OT and whatnot. Just send me a Starly or something else that's useless. I'm normally quicker to come through on trades, but I left the DS laying at a friend's house and won't see him till Monday. I can give you my FC and such when I get it all back.

So is anybody else about to die from anticipation? >_< For the first time in my life I've actually wrote something on a calendar and started X'ing away the dates until I get to it. I don't think I've ever been so excited about a video game, and it's happening just in time. Having an Xbox 360 and not sucking the almighty dick of Halo or any other FPS (except Fear ) is hard, hard work.
