Happy 12TH Birthday DREAMCAST

OH Sega Dreamcast, How I love you! Back in 1999 I remember proudly walking to the mall in the rain to pre-order you from KB Toys. You were the best system after NES that I've ever, and still do, owned. You were the First of the generation, and honestly the best in my opinion. You beat the PS2, Gamecube, and the Xbox to Market. You also were the first console to have online play, by the built in 56k modem. I only wish it would have lasted a little longer.



Your Launch titles were freaking awesome too. I remember being thrilled at Sonic Adventure, Hydro Thunder, Crazy Taxi, Ready to Rumble Boxing, and Many others. The Fighting freak in me was Super excited for Arcade Perfect ports of PowerStone, Soul Calibur, and Marvel vs. Capcom. I wasn't even a huge fan of sports games, But I got all the 2K series, and played them a lot! Don't even get me started on Skies of Arcadia, or Jet Set Radio!

With support from Midway, Capcom, Eidos, Sega themselves and Many others, I don't see why your life was so short. Sega had a hit, and was making bank though. But I guess some bigshot at Sega wanted to focus on Software only, so you died a little pre-maturely.

So, may you have a Happy Birthday Sega Dreamcast! You may no longer be produced or supported, but to steal a line from one of your Launch titles:

"THE SOUL STILL BURNS!"

Remembering Eek the Cat

This Cartoon began in 1992 and ran for 5 seasons! Created by Bill Copp and Savage Steve Holland. I remember watching this show nearly Every day. Eventually it changed it's title to "EekStarvagansa" To include The Terrible Thunder Lizards and also Clutter.

The Show was animated for Fox Kids, by Nelvana. I remember The incredible Elmo and his Always sick little brother Timmy. Elmo would always trick Eek into doing whatever death defying stunt he was supposed to do, right after Eek would explain how it all could go horribly wrong. There was a lot of CANADIAN humor in this show.

Also, Gotta Love Sharky The Sharkdog.



The Terrible Thunder Lizards were great. Doc was like Schwarzenegger, Cutter was like Bill Paxton and Rex was just stupid. The Whole idea of that part of the show was to kill the Humans before their sheer stupidity made the dinosaurs extinct.

I also Remember quite the controversy over the two cavemen Scooter and Bill.

Fatboy Slim: Scooter n Bill by *thweatted on deviantART
The Controversy was that They were the first Humans. I remember that a lot of Christian groups got upset that there were no female Humans. But After you got to know Bill and Scooter They eventually introduced some girls, so the controversy was resolved.

Now the Weak point. In my opinion was Klutter. Klutter was a mess made by the Heap bros. It came to life some how, and acting like a dog most of the time. It wasn't that great. The Klutter segment was introduced in Season 4. That's all I care to remember it so... I guess that's all for this entry.

Peace kids!

Tiny Toon Music TV

I got Season 1 vol.2 of "Tiny Toon Adventures" on dvd a few weeks ago. They have an episode called "Tiny Toon Music TV" and it's rather entertaining. It's too short though. It's only 4 songs. Two of them by They Might be Giants, one is a clasical number, and then Aretha Franklin's "RESPECT".

I know they have more music vids staring the tiny toon crew.. So I'm just going to post them all up here for your enjoyment. UNfortunatly PArtical man is un available.






ANd these were not in that episode.. but they came later.







Rawks out.

Nintendo Nostalgia

While Helping Jason with his Blog "Nostalgia Snax" and reminiscing like us old fart do... I came across a lot of old Nintendo nostalgia on the ol' Youtube. I recently started buying some old NES games and SNES games... The bad thing is I cannot find my SNES or NES... So, I ordered a duo sytem on the web.. Should have it in about a week or two.
