| 3415 | Article | mickyarber | Back in '88 while going through NYC, my family got lost in Chinatown. That was kinda scary to a 10 year old. Really fun article. | Mar 04, 2016 |  | |

| 3558 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awwww... man. Talk about disappointment. I'm guessing your parents were hitting every thrift store and yard sale they could find to try and make things right, to no avail. Bummer. But hey, an SNES! LOL. I can just see you pounding away gleefully on that controller while occasionally looking over at your bro and sighing before refocusing on the 16 bit glory. | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 12, 2016 | |

| 1529 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awww yeah. This is what I'm talkin' 'bout Willis. Sooo much good stuff in this article. I loved about all of these shows, and I agree with every point you make regarding the styles of animation. I pretty much disliked any and all anime growing up. I didn't like the style, as it was too simplistic and crazy looking. Not to mention that dubbing them over made for some really strange interactions between characters. Unlike traditional American animation dialogue, you would have the weird moments where the characters talk over each other, or say things that really make no sense, or don't flow with the conversation. It is funny how now I can tell just by the style of animation, which studio pumped out a particular cartoon. Look at Dennis The Menace and Heathcliff. You could interchange the characters in those shows and nothing about the character design or animation would need to change at all. The same goes for Sunbow and Filmation. Speaking of Filmation... they get no love here!!! Really? C'mon Hoju! The animators of He-Man himself! BraveStarr? Ghostbusters (the non-Bill Murray led team)? Filmation was really good at taking movements from actual film footage and changing them to animation, then reusing those same animations while fitting in different characters. These animated sequences were repetitive, but also very smooth. I loved Filmation's style. Looking back now at cartoons from Sunbow, it's easy to see that some segments were well done, and some were just dreadful. This was especially true of Transformers. There would be times when a character was not colored properly, or missing a mouth or eyes or some other detail. Times when the animation was so choppy it was as though they had run out of frames and needed to cut a few. Yeah, Transformers could be pretty bad looking at times. I never really noticed it as a youngster, but now I can see it doesn't hold up well sometimes. Great breakdown of 80's classics Hoju. I loved this one. | 80's Cartoons: An Animated Discussion | Nov 26, 2014 | |
| 2467 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awww man! Seeing the figures on the back of that Secret Wars Spidey card back brings back my despair over not owning Hobgoblin, Baron Zemo or Falcon! I did own both Spidey versions, Cap, Doc Ock, and the others. In fact, I still own them as well as Doctor Doom's fortress thingy. I also owned (but no longer own) one or two of the vehicles. Was it just me, or were Doc Ock's tentacles prone to breaking off? All of mine broke off in play, and what is a Doc Ock with no "Ock"? Just a "Doc", and that's lame. My favorite was, of course, Iron Man. The whole Secret Wars comic storyline and toy line were huge in my youth. I played with them a great deal... more so than any other superhero toy line. They got their fair share of playtime amidst He-Man, Thundercats, GI Joe, and Transformers, and that's quite a feat. | Spider-Man & Venom Action Figure Retrospective | Aug 05, 2015 | |
| 3571 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | Aww... that sucks. Kind of funny though, it will probably be a nice story to tell the children one day. | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 13, 2016 | |

| 5387 | Article | onipar | Aww, a heartbreaking story. I was just thinking about those mini V-day cards we'd all exchange in elementary school. I had two "girlfriends" in elementary school. In quotes because of course we were too young to know what it really meant. | Getting the shaft after Valentines Day | Feb 11, 2021 | |
