| 2180 | Article | Ruespieler | Thanks vape for taking care of that issue so quickly! Anyway, I'm glad you mentioned that the piece took you back to your own childhood pets. That's exactly what I wanted, to transport the reader back into the TARDIS of their own imaginations, but in a positive way. To remember the times that were good, so to speak. It's why I didn't "Old Yeller" you. Yeah runnin' away, it's a great idea for about two hours. Learned right then and there that, even on the worst days, home ain't such a bad place to be. | Mar 30, 2015 |  | |
| 2182 | Article | vkimo | I've literally been reading this article like a novel since it was published this morning. And I'm kind of bummed now that I finished it, could of read more of your stories for weeks. "Picturing our times together through the fog of ages is now like seeing these occurrences through a rain blurred window. Colors fade. Details melt. But what does remain as clear as a Crystal Pepsi is the joy and love we shared." Now that's just great writing. I love the narrative and your detail. The maps made the read so much more engaging. I can't believe you and your buds walked that long of a distance. Hersh seems like such an awesome dog. I'd love to have a canine companion like that. Too bad he didn't leave one of those kids thumbless! Also, kudos to nailing the annoying mom, must have felt good. I wish I had half the gall you did, seems like the Five O knew you by name haha TU #8 I have a feeling this contest just turned into a race for 2nd place.. | The Dog Days of Childhood | Mar 31, 2015 | |
| 2190 | Article | AnEarly90sMan | The Technodrome wasn't out in 1988. Turtle-Mania didn't sweep the nation until April of 1990. | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 02, 2015 | |
| 2188 | Article | echidna64 | BTW have you seen the latest Nostalgia Critic/AVGN episode on the Ninja Turtles? | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 01, 2015 | |
| 2189 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Glad to know they acknowledge the past on the new series, I did hear about the Rob Paulsen thing. Didn't they do a similar crossover with the 80's incarnation in the Turtles Forever special with the last 2-D version of the TMNT? @echidna64 I haven't seen much from that duo, although I hear the names a lot. I did watch their Bayou Billy review just to make sure I wasn't rehashing the same old stuff, when I wrote that article. I'll have to check out their thoughts on the TMNT. | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 02, 2015 | |
| 2186 | Article | Vaporman87 | No doubt about it, the early days of "Turtlemania" were the best. I thoroughly enjoyed both the cartoon series and the first live action film, though I've commented before that I thought it could have done a bit better with a little more star power and some deeper character exploration. Naturally I had some of the toys, but my brother was in their prime demographic (I was around 14 - 18) so naturally he had more. Even so, I enjoyed the turtle merchandise. One thing I will say for the newest animated incarnation... they have gone out of their way to pay homage to it's predecessor. Including all the old favorites like "fly" Baxter, Leatherhead, Metal Head, Rat King, and more. Once, while visiting Dimension X, the turtles look into a portal and see their 1980's cartoon counterparts walking down the street with April in her classic yellow jumpsuit. The original voice actors from that cartoon portray themselves once more at the end of that episode (in a little pre-credits nugget for the fans). They had several episodes that took place at April's relative's farm (with the house looking VERY MUCH like the one from the 1990 movie. In another recent episode, Casey Jones uses the classic line, "The class is Pain 101. You're instructor is Casey Jones." Then his opponent retorts with "Did you really just say that kid?" LOL. Good stuff. They've had voice talent come in like Corey Feldman doing "Slash" (he did Donatello's voice in the 1990 film) and of course, Rob Paulson doing Donatello. It's a nice way to introduce the turtles to a new generation while showing some love for those of us who grew up on the originals. | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 01, 2015 | |
| 2187 | Article | echidna64 | Huge turtle fan here! Thanks Hoju for stirring the turtle soup of memories! I had the Technodrome playset as a kid and it was literally my favorite toy of all-time. So many climatic battles took place there between the many incarnations of the Turtle dudes and their many enemies. | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 01, 2015 | |
| 2203 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @AnEarly90sMan I appreciate your confirmation of Turtle-Mania's official start date ;) Maybe in CA we got things going before the rest of the nation. Regarding your Technodrome correction, you are right that it came out in 1989, I meant that quote to read as more of a schoolyard rumor. But as soon as that thing hit shelves, you better believe that Brent was all over it. | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 04, 2015 | |
| 2208 | Article | MissM | Ok loved everything about this article. That first NES game was a nightmare. I still can't get past the third stage. The water stage and those bombs still gives me nightmares. I did love the arcade game thought. My first figure was April O'Neil. I remember doing really well on my grades in school and my mom was like, "We can go to the store and find an April figure for you." I loved the Turtles, but I always made sure to collect every version of April possible, and did they ever make some random off the wall April figures. It was hard not to be caught up in the phenomenon of the Turtles at that time. Or really any other time. The cool thing about this property over pretty much most properties from that time is that it has still managed to be a hit with every new version. Well, maybe not that live action series on Fox in the late 90's, but even that wasn't that bad from a toy perspective. Super fun article! | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 08, 2015 | |
| 2209 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @MissM That's awesome that you had all the April figures. I'm sure that included the cave-woman one, right? That whole prehistoric line was pretty wacky. | Turtles: The Teenage Mutant Kind | Apr 09, 2015 | |
