  8. If you watch closely in the scenes at Docs lab in BTTF1 you will see a photograph of a clock with Marty and Doc next to it; the photo that was made in BTTF3. Only visible in the BluRay versions though.

    Well, you don't look twenty-something and your shave-level was not enough to justify a disruption. So you must be forty-something.

  16. 80s cartoons

    At the beginning of the previous retro thumb car Lu and I were discussing 80s/90s cartoons (for some reason). We were talking about how terrible those cartoons are now, even though we thought they were awesome back then. Lu had the terrible opinion that Inspector Gadget was an awful cartoon. That's so wrong... Anyway. I wanted to extend this discussion on the forums. There have been quite some 80s/90s cartoons I've re-watched later in life. Some of them are quite bad... but others are still awesome. I don't think I've been able to properly follow cartoons when I was a kid. Even the cartoons that I liked I often missed (because of shitty airing, or activities). And then there's the stuff which was never aired over here. So I've missed out on a lot. I've been trying, a couple of times the past years, to catch up on the 80s/90s cartoons. This is really difficult, even within the "illegal" circuit. Copyright ownership of those series is often uncertain, and if it is the studios have zero interest in earning money. A lot of series were created by companies long dead, under supervision of companies which were bought out. For example, some big names are Sunbow Productions, DIC and Saban. A bunch of stuff they created was partially owned by Matel, Hasbro or Marvel back then. Disney appears to have bought various parts of all these companies. So has Time Warner. But for me its uncertain if any company owns 100% of those cartoons. Either way... I wanted to talk about the cartoons itself, and not who owns the imaginary property. So there have been a couple of cartoons I watched back then, and some I've been able to rewatch more recently. So, here goes... is for series which held up, is for no, and not sure Transformers (G1) The original transformers cartoon. For me this series holds up quite well. For a cartoon which was basically an advertisement for toys it's really good. There's even an awesome full length movie with Leonard Nimoy and Orson Welles (although Welles didn't like it). For the Saints Row 4 players, the "The Touch" song is a reference to this movie (for which "The Touch" was written). Transformers has all the elements of a classic 80s cartoon: a child some how involves in big things, continuous background sound track, morale guidance, story arch but also episode isolated story lines. The Racoons My memory of this series was much more fond than it was after rewatching. It's still quite good. It also features a great background soundtrack. It's pretty much like a non-Dinsey Ducktales, although a bit different. The episode stories are quite ok, and best of all, it doesn't feature the horrible morale segments. M.A.S.K., G.I. Joe, Captain Planet I'm going to name these three at the same time because they are equally terrible. The stories are horrible, and very moralistic. And the end of each episode there's even an awful extra segment of morality. It's quite vomit inducing. I haven't bothered watching more than a few episodes. Buck O'Hare Somehow I always seem to associate it with battletoads. It's a rather short lives series which is quite a shame, because it's quite good. It doesn't habe the Battletoads pause music though. There is the usual "kid" element in this series, which is rather dumb. Ducktales, Goof Troop, Darkwing Duck, Chip & Dale Disney knows their craft. That's all I can say, except Ducktales is much better than the others. Visionaires There's so much wrong with the setup of this cartoon. The whole wizard part makes no sense at all. I'm not sure if I watched this as a kid, but rewatching it really doesn't satisfy my viewing pleasure. Alfred Jodocus Kwak This is a Dutch cartoon which is absolutely awesome, and also quite heavy. It deals with quite some heavy real life elements. For example, it discusses the whole slavery/colony and nazi regime of Earth history. It starts out quite innocent, but later in the series it really gets serious. Dommel A Belgian cartoon about a dog and his owner, who is a disturbed professor. It's a bit like Wallace & Gromit in its setup (except that the dog isn't that smart). Anyway, the humor still works for me. There are a couple of series which I have some reservations about, and need to rewatch when I'm able to: He Man; I fear the worst Thundercats; I'm sure it holds up for me, but I need to see it first. The remake wasn't as good as I hoped Teddy Ruxpin; is on my queue to rewatch Teen Age Ninja Turtles C.O.P.S.; impossible to find, and I think it will suck big time ... So, what's your list. Any recommendations of series I should watch?

    It was working fine a few minutes ago. But now I need to disable OCSP :/
  18. 80s cartoons

    Ovide was and still is quite bad. I'd rather watch Barbapapa. I've got a new one for the list: The Ghost Busters (the one with the gorilla). It's quite bad, think of it as the worst parts of scooby doo, except that's always the same villains. The only awesome part is when they "suit up".

  20. Quitter's Club: Don't be ashamed to quit the game.

    It appears I was doing something wrong. I first needed to do something else before doing the water trap. After that point there are more save points. So the game will let you continue and skipping [arts it will just become very very difficult. Right now I've ran into the problem with the shitty controls of the game, timing is really important but sometimes the game thinks I wanted to stop running and shoot instead. This of course results in my death.
  21. 80s cartoons

    lol... Cadilacs and Dinosaurs: "One man stands alone ..." and then they should clips of the man and his teams. These logical flaws bug me now, but never as a kid. Although it's not limited to children cartoons, movies are filled with them.

    Another World... I'm at the cave with the water trap. I've done, and completed this part probably 20 times already. And then I die in the next segment and I'm put back at the cave. This is really a pain in the ass.
  24. hmm... tempting. It has been quite a while since I've played minecraft.
