The Bubsy pilot may be one of the worst things I've ever watched in my lifetime, and it's '90s as poo poo. People think I exaggerate when I say it is literally unwatchable. They think since they've seen the worst calamities online and in real life, but nobody I've linked it to has been able to watch it in one sitting:

I watched it when it was "live" or whatever you want to call it actually on TV. It was a weird thing where there was a package of different saturday morning pilots that aired on Thanksgiving Day. There was also a Battletoads pilot in that block I remember.

You mean this pilot?

How is it english people never realized just how INSANELY creepy and weird this thing is? Like its almost nightmarish.

The dark secret is that Mr Blobby is England's version of The Ring. Now make sure you get someone else to watch one of his videos, or Mr Blobby will visit you.

But yea, sonic had 3 decent games, the rest has been absolute crap. I will never, ever understand the obsession some people have with Sonic, even beyond mentally ill people like Chris-Chan.

Actually the last decent Sonic games were Colours (which was outright good to everyone's surprise), and Generations (which was mostly good, with some bad level choices like an over-focus on Sonic '06 on the PS3/X360 version).

_{I still hold that the only reason Colours turned out as a good game was because the management was busy loving up handholding Sonic 4 at the time.}

I actually got the HD edition on Steam a while ago and I'd forgotten how great the narrator n the William Wallace campaign is.

"CREATE TEN MORRRRRE... WOOOOOOOAAAAAD RRRRRRRRRRAIDERRRRRRS!"

Speaking of screen sizes, after I upgraded to Windows 10, Steam only plays Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight in a small window now. It was full-screen in Windows 8.

Check your graphics card settings. One of them defaults to "as big as it can actually go" rather than "fill as much screen as possible".

The best 90s cartoons were the ones based on Alien, Terminator, and Robocop because it totally makes sense to market those to children. I saw Terminator 2 when I was 7 and it ruled.

I never knew there were ones for Terminator and Alien :suspense:

I remember there used to be a CGI cartoon based on the movie version of Starship Troopers - it was on in the morning before I went to school. I distinctly remember one episode where Rico is non-graphically disembowelled (or close to it) by a bug and survives until he's rescued using a giant sticking plaster.

Might not have been 1990s, though. If it was it was at the tail-end.

Starship Troopers: Roughneck Chronicles. And those motherfuckers canned it three loving episodes before it was supposed to definitively end :argh:

Seriously, if you haven't seen Roughneck Chronicles it's well worth a watch.

They're watching something subversive that can sneak stuff past the censors

Actually most of those sorts of jokes are self-admitted by the writers to be stuff they expect the censors to catch, just so they can look like they're doing their job without loving with anything else in the episode.

Maybe it's just me, but I though Sonic CD was better than S&K. S&K was certainly better than any Sonic game I've played that came after them, though. I haven't played all of them, though.

If you have a Wii or WiiU, Sonic Colours is well worth your time if you can hunt down a copy. Generations is good too, if you own a PS3, X360 or decent gaming PC. Aside from that, it's a wider range of titles with subjective preferences as to quality and a few outright trainwrecks.

Going back to Sega, here's a really in depth look at how they basically hosed themselves badly in 1995 and ended up killing their console division:

Long story short: They made the incredibly boneheaded decision to rush the Saturn to shelves with a price of $399 which let Sony eat their lunch.

"299".

That was a Tachikoma! Huge in the manga, but completely ignored in the film.

They are, however, present in Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Both seasons and its movie are well worth a watch if you want cyberpunk policework, incidentally.

Not sure which rude-dude-with-a-tude mascot was my favourite Sonic rip-off. Probably either Spyro or Crash Bandicoot. Never really played Rayman or Bubsy or whatever so I guess I didn't have the full experience.

I was big into games like Ratchet & Clank and Ty the Tasmanian Tiger but those were the 2000s version of the aforementioned.

The correct answer for best rude-with-tude mascot is Jazz Jackrabbit :colbert:

Rayman was good, Rayman 2 was sublime, Rayman 3 was fairly good but not 90s. They aren't in the same world as poo poo like Bubsy.

Also, the 90s mascot game that I remember was Croc. Terrible in most respects, but I have a fondness for it.

Just out of curiosity, is there a "definitive"/best version of Rayman 2 among all the various ports?

I know the animaniac's writers had this thing where if they wanted to slip in a bad joke they would write something even worse they knew the censors would say no to, therefore making their original joke look not nearly as bad and then they could be "well can we do this instead?" and the censors would say "sure".

The "Finger prince" joke wasn't supposed to be one of the ones they approved but I guess whoever was auditing the episode that day didn't pick up on it.

The writers have explicitly stated they thought there would be no way in hell the Finger Prince joke would fly, and were as stunned as anyone else.

Rocko, I believe, was originally intended to be an MTV series, but Viacom decided to stick it on Nickelodeon instead since there was enough childish humor and kids wouldn't really -get- the adult jokes in the series. Plus, being a cable channel, they were able to get away with a little more than WB would allow, since they were broadcast television. Then again these were the days of cable pushing these sort of boundaries.

It was also the days of kneejerk-reaction children's TV censors being afraid of anything unwholesome that might corrupt the mind of Little Timmy via cartoons, so of course the right thing to do was try to sneak in any and every dirty joke the writers could try to get away with.

Nunawading isn't exactly what you'd call a great suburb, either. It's the kind of place you either avoid, or pity people for having to live there. Especially as being an outer suburb means it's primo Bogan country (Aussie Fuckin' Rednecks, Mate).

I don't know if it's fair to blame Marvel when the problem is everybody else copying them. I mean, you can blame them, but usually if you blame somebody for something it's because of some sort of positive action on their part, isn't it?

Is Mission Impossible the only action movie franchise that started in the 90s and is still getting movies made today?

James Bond films have been happening for far longer.

Not to mention Iron Man had a sequel by the time Thor and Captain America got their "origin" films. Iron Man was pretty much a backdoor pilot for the rest of the MCU.

I think part of the reason it worked is Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America all had minor name recognition, but most people wouldn't know much else. DC's big disadvantage is that their characters are too well known, and most people have some kind of personal attachment to them. Yes, I have met people that hate the MCU because of their attachment to certain characters, but they were all B or C Team, so the majority of people could form something new.

One thing I really like with MCU is they've completely skipped an origin film for Spider-Man because good loving lord we do not need a third one of those.
