Didn't they also make Mr. Popo from DBZ blue? Think I remember that one...

lmao.

trump effect?

linked a comment in the OP where somebody shared a copy if you're interested.

thank you...I've been hunting this thing forever, lol.

now hopefully, I can get it running under linux...

if you don't mind this copy having a bit of save data

It's okay, I'll figure it out =)

guy went by the handle David albrecht, so that's plausible. I honestly don't remember for sure.

I do remember everybody featured in it (with the possible exception of chris ray gun) let's played it at some point.

yeah, it was fun, though. it was this combination of a tower defense and a third-person shooter, and the in-jokes were really just the icing on the cake...

actually, I think Chris Raygun was added to the roster at one point as well... course he's got TDS out the wazoo at this point...

I'm not sure if it was a fan, or somebody who hated sargon, but it was a legitimately fun, if somewhat dated game. It had four playable characters last I heard (sargon himself, armored skeptic, shoeonhead, and harmful opinions) I might have to go through about fifty old hard drives and see if I still have the rar/zip somewhere...

here's somebody playing it to give you an idea... graphics are pretty much what you'd expect for an indy game, but the gameplay is fantastic...

honestly? I was prepared to hate her as much as Carl Manvers in Captain Ms. Marvel, so maybe that made her easier for me not to hate. Honestly, the "heel" character was more unlikeable, as it should be.

Disagree with the characters development of the new cast members

This is more of a nitpicky thing I thought of after the fact, honestly. The film is fantastic, but I try to be as objective as possible. As an example, Ice was a dick to maverick in the original top gun, but they made it clear why at least. his character was better fleshed out. The arrogant pilot (whose name I forget) in Maverick was just a dick until he wasn't.

I still like the film, obviously, and it's a lot better than some of the dreck they've put out in recent years, but there are flaws, just like any film.

yeah, but I can forgive that too, mainly, because if it was my film, I'd put all that geeky goodness in there too.

regarding the seraph fight...yeah, that would have been cool, but it probably would have been hard to do, given how smith worked at that point. It may have simply been too hard to find a good way to make it make even a little bit of sense in story...

nah evil has lines. self-interested lines, but lines all the same.

...stupidity on the other hand....

I mean, to be fair, sikhs know how to deal with jihadis, lol

fair, maybe put it in the category of harbinger of downfall or something (not added to this list)

not sure. I know it bombed hard, and they basically rewrote Misa's character... Not sure if L rises to the level of a palette swap, though...

Shame, willam dafoe as Ryuk looked good, but willam dafoe is one of those actors that can spin gold out of almost any shitty script...

does the netflix death note count?

Sorry, not trying to crapflood your inbox

Normally, I'd agree with you, but in this case, I feel like leaving the philosphy open-ended works better in this case. it makes you think about the questions asked, rather than having the answers spoonfed to you by somebody who took a philosophy 101 class to get their screenwriting major...

maverick was a fantastic followup to the original (I actually watched the first movie right before heading to the theater, and it holds up incredibly well), even the female pilot wasn't the girlboss I was dreading.

The only real stumbling block I saw was the character development of the new cast members, which wasn't awful, but really needed more time focused on fleshing them out.

might wanna add captain marvel...film only did well off the back of the avengers movies...and I'm pretty sure it broke the MCU's crushing it streak...

ressurections was okay-ish... Bad case of sequelitus, but it was watchable...

Sega seems to make misttep after misstep... First with the upgrades to the original genesis, which, while cool, didn't really add much in the way of value (and the Sega CD games rivaled the NES for punishing difficultly out of the gate). Then the saturn flopped, so they pushed out the Dreamcast, which had been their pet project for most of the decade, only for the PS2 to drop like a month (two?) later and basically make it irrelevant, which is a shame, because there were some fun games on that console, which is ironic, given the Sonic title for the console was a glitchy mess.

...and of course the failure of the Dreamcast basically killed the one-time rival to nintendo as a console developer, and they've made unfortunate choice after unfortunate choice ever since...

shame, I really liked the blue blurr... the chemical plant zone alone was worth playing sonic two...

hey, they made it work for racist, sexist, etc... at least for a while...

I'd settle for dinosaurs honestly...

don't really have a dog in this fight, because I'm not really into vtubers (neither for or against, just not my thing), but you could easily expand this argument to any kind of social media brand, or hell, really any form of entertainment.

Some examples come to mind:

• Splash, a movie from the eighties/nineties about a man who meets and eventually falls in love with a mermaid, starred tom hanks (I know, I know), John Candy, and an actress whom I forget the name of. the film did well enough to get a sequel, but apparently not well enough to hire back the original cast for said sequel, and it ended up being tonally almost completely different as well. I don't know if there was a splash 3, but somehow I doubt it.

• The King of Random/TKOR youtube channel. When Grant Thomspon, the original creator of the channel, stepped back from the camera to focus ont he business side of things, it was mildly off-putting, although Nate was at least doing some interesting projects, it just wasn't the same as with Grant, the personality was different, the projects were different, and was just not what I personally signed up for. When grant passed away (RIP), it seemed to become a kid's channel, and I just fell off in interest. I don't know how they're doing, but they seem to still be making videos.

• <insert your favorite example of pallette-swapped "new" character replacing the old here> Do you like the new and improved version, or do you want the tried and true og back?

• Game Theory I don't know who else paid attention to this here, but when matthew patrick (aka MatPat) 'retired' from the game/film/food/style theory public face, it set off a conspiracy theories about what really happened(true or untrue is up to you to decide, particularly with his announcement of retirement. It didn't help that Tom, the replacement host for game theory, seems like he was more at home at the writing desk than he currently is in the recording closet. The fact that matt had sold the rights to the brand a few years ago probably doesn't help either.

consuming each others' feces...

=P they just forgot to turn off Big Head Mode

fair, lol.

also, he was one of those actors that teens swooned over when he was younger, wasn't he
