| 3726 | Article | mickyarber | Great article, and great list of names. There are more great ones who never won one CM Punk and guys who never even appeared in one like Sting. Ive got an article coming on the Rumbles history as well. | Feb 06, 2017 |  | |
| 3655 | Article | jkatz | Great article! I love reading about obscure animes and films...they usually end up in the most interesting places. | Urikupen Kyujotai: The cartoon that introduced me to animation | Jan 02, 2017 | |
| 4050 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think the saturation of "ninja" in the late 80's was it's peak. Even I had a full on ninja outfit (as ordered from one of the many ninja magazines I had), including foam nun chucks, rubber throwing stars, and a sword. You couldn't escape it. Everyone wanted to be a ninja. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Aug 22, 2017 | |
| 4056 | Article | NLogan | Kids across America became imaginary ninjas in their minds and snuck around wishing they had the martial arts prowess and abilities of true ninjas before the videogame craze took over and firmly rooted their butts to the couch. I am glad you were one of those kids. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Aug 22, 2017 | |
| 4058 | Article | vkimo | I'm definitely in Ninja mode now. I remember Snake Eyes being your avatar for years on RetroJunk. In a way, you were very much like a Ninja, seldom seen but always lurking in the shadows. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Aug 22, 2017 | |
| 4060 | Article | Mr Magic | It's movies like Revenge of the Ninja that make being a ninja sound like fun! | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Aug 23, 2017 | |
| 4066 | Article | NLogan | The kanji on the white dragon bandana says Ninja or at least part of it. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Aug 24, 2017 | |
| 4132 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Wow, I knew Ninjas were big business, but this article shows how vast their reach was. Wrath of The Black Manta was a comic book ad I couldn't escape back in the day. Wasn't there even a shopping spree contest tied to that game? Also, I have to thank you for using your Ninja toy hunting skills to help me find a complete V2 Storm Shadow (my favorite Ninja) at RetroCon last year, he is proudly displayed in my retro room now. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Sep 14, 2017 | |
| 4141 | Article | DirtyD79 | Me and my brother went through the ninja phase too. I remember when we were teenagers we got some swords and knives at this one flea market up the street from us. I also remember for Halloween in 5th grade I dressed up as a ninja. I also wanted to take some karate classes but my parents never got around to signing me up. Eventually I became more interested in cars and model building instead. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Sep 21, 2017 | |
| 4789 | Article | Ravenloft | Few took ninja mania as far as my twin brother and I. Shadow Warrior Ninja Brothers! I am still Storm Shadow to his Snake Eyes. He has betrayed our ninja secrets in his article to you. You have been marked for death. Always the athletic and agile kids we would scale telepole poles, run on wooden fences, climb up on roofs of multiple story buildings, leap treacherous gaps, climb over razor and barbed wire and other dangerous stunts that as an adult can only make me cringe at the possible injuries we could have had. Astonishing to think I never broke any bones (ahem, that were mine anyway.) The old style metal, concrete and wooden playgrounds were our ninja training camps like in the ninja movies and we learned the very real consequences of any fall. Far from the so called ninja tv shows that have safety foam pits and water to break your falls that are on today. We were doing Parkour a solid decade before it had a name or a popular following. He failed to mention that we spray painted the ropes on the home-made swords so they would be stiff and not come unraveled ever. I have never seen ninja children running around with real weapons the way we did as kids, maybe there were some and they had good training to remain unseen the way we did or maybe we were the last or only ninjas- a recurring ninja theme that is highly inaccurate; as the Hollywood pop culture version of the ninja is still going strong despite all of the imaginary and historically inaccurate elements. Ninja are so ubiquitous that they have become an archtype for play or Halloween costumes joining such other archtypes as the astronaut, cowboy, soldier, knight, superhero or finally the ninja. | Revenge of the Imaginary Ninjas! | Jan 13, 2019 | |
