I don't remember there being any bad blood there.

Their MGS5 LP was very good, but VERY long. For one thing, Chip tries to show off the different ways you can play the game, codified by three different Snakes, stealthy Big Boss runs, lethal Venom Snake runs, and Vapor Snake runs which are dedicated to all the weird poo poo you can do in the game. Vapor Snake's antics eventually resulted in this masterpiece:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ze7r1j1t5vI&t=258s Spoilers, since it comes at the tail end of the LP. Apart from Metal Gear, Wonderful 101 was great, and Mario Odyssey was very chill, though incomplete.

Most of the Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted games, MegaMan Legends, The Wonderful 101 is really good, I don't know what interests you though. Also they've only out up like two episodes of FF7 right now. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXy5NwBq3yzzEarJLM8M-aGiWy44xDkYY Someone made highlight videos of their LPs so maybe that'll help.

All of their Anime Theater stuff that died with their video host of choice is thankfully all rescued on the Internet Archive as well, which is good because their riff on Dracula: Sovereign of the Damned is high art.

Quietly shuffled off the show is better than anything that's happened with most comic book women so I'll take that over them having a fight and them totally splitting off forever.

I mean in Japan, Hawaii is a very popular vacation destination and also Hawaii has a massive Japanese population so it's not as though Hawaii is all that much less relevant to Japanese people than it is to mainland Americans. e: I looked it up and apparently the reason why they made a new Japanese cartoon set in Okinawa is cause this guy who worked for Disney Japan (Paul Candland) lived in Okinawa for a few years in the 90s and wanted to make a show set there:  Don't know where the "Japanese people hate Lilo" thing came from. Haven't seen that mentioned anywhere. Lilo isn't with Stitch in this Okinawa show cause she's grown up and she's an adult. They did broadcast the American Lilo & Stitch series in Japan too. The movie itself just wasn't super popular in Japan and according to some random Japanese blogger I saw (thus the supreme authority on Japanese culture), apparently Stitch was considered kinda ugly looking and the marketing for the movie felt pushy.

There was talk over in the VB thread in TV IV that a higher up over at Cartoon Network retired and like in a lot of cases why a show gets cancelled, he was their guardian angel that let them spend what is for TV a frankly ridiculous amount on each season. (I like the show too, we're all civilized here, but that sort of thing just doesn't happen on the regular.) Dean's voice actor was also outed as a sex pest but I don't know how relevant that is, save making rewatches a bit uncomfortable.

Adult Swim has since tweeted that they want to continue the series in some way, so I suspect the blame lies more with the AT&T acquisition of Warner. Especially since they recently laid off a lot of people at DC, and cancelled a bunch of comics. So of course they would cancel something that is beloved but not incredibly profitable. poo poo sucks!

The last few seasons were being developed inhouse by Titmouse so they were likely a lot cheaper than the hand drawn animation the show was using before. The bigger thing was likely the breaks between seasons as they only have two writers. Doc Hammer having some major health issues in the last year extending to him having to relearn how to walk probably didn't help.

There are 3 kinds of purity tests: You can measure conductivity or resistivity to determine the presence of ions in the water. You can check for the presence of organic contaminants by checking for the total organic carbon (TOC) content. Finally, you can test for colloids by passing water through a 0.45 micrometer filter at constant pressure and examining the time taken to damage the filter.

I dream of a future world where everyone is such a blank-slate opinion-free weathervane that we no longer have to deal with the perfidious issue of purity testing (people disagreeing with other people about things).
