Element of Man Candy. lol

...Especially the Kanto Elite 4. Anyways...least fave level in a video game would have to be Death Mountain in Zelda II.

...I agree with this. I mean, once or twice I'd think "This might be real." After 30+, though, I'm like "This is total BS."

Ace Attorney. This one should be pretty obvious: "Ahhh! After 10,000 years, I'm free! IT'S TIME TO CONQUER EARTH!"

EVE Online. "The hard part for us avant-garde post-modern artists is deciding whether or not to embrace commercialism. Do we allow our work to be hyped and exploited by a market that's simply hungry for the next new thing? Do we participate in a system that turns high art into low art so it's better suited for mass consumption? Of course, when an artist goes commercial, he makes a mockery of his status as an outsider and free thinker. He buys into the crass and shallow values art should transcend. He trades the integrity of his art for riches and fame. ...Oh, what the heck. I'll do it."

Hopefully.

My turn. "Do you have the time to listen to me whine?"

Kid Icarus: Uprising. Nailed it.

Sweet! Happy Nightmare Night, Venomous.

Did you eat any? Anyways, just stayin' home, listening to punk music.

Introduction 'CAUSE IIIII WANNA BEEEEE A POWER RANGER! The Episode The Rangers are at the park, playing volleyball, when Baboo and several Putties show up, unnoticed. Baboo has created a potion that will turn the Rangers into punks when consumed. After spiking the team's drinks, Baboo leaves. Kimberly and Billy decide to take a break, and then become angry after taking a few sips. They knock the other drinks to the ground, thereby sparing the other Rangers. Meanwhile, Rita wants Finster to create another monster. Finster already has one made: the Terror Toad. It has a large appetite, and unlike Pudgy Pig, it's sole purpose is to eat the Rangers and has no known weakness. THE NEXT DAY, Kimberly and Billy come to school dressed like punks (and unlike Bulk and Skull, who are wunks, K&B actually look like punks). Billy intimidates Bulk while Kimberly hits on Skull. Zordon orders Alpha to quarantine Kimberly and Billy, while the other Rangers deal with Terror Toad. Zordon explains that Kim and Billy can be cured, however: there is a plant known as the Singing Squash, located in another dimension. If Alpha can locate it, and grind it into juice, the duo will be back to normal. The Rangers find out that Terror Toad is actually a very difficult foe, as he eats Trini and then goes after Zack. Alpha fends off several Putties, then gets the squash. He cures Billy and Kimberly, and the go to help Jason. Terror Toad then eats Billy, then attempts to eat Jason. As he does so, Kimberly fires her Power Bow at the toad's stomach, releasing the Rangers. As a preemptive measure, Kimberly kills the monster by firing an arrow down his gullet. With the day once again saved, Bulk and Skull challenge the Rangers to volleyball...but end up getting caught up in their own net. My Opinion I enjoyed this episode for several reasons, such as Alpha getting a starring role alongside Kimberly and Billy. I also enjoy the fact that Terror Toad (and by extension, Rita) nearly defeated the Rangers. ...However, by this point, I feel sorry for Bulk and Skull always getting the short end of the stick. Sure, they may be bullying idiots, but you can't help but pity them. And, in my opinion, this serves as the catalyst for their popularity, and their eventual character development. Final Score 7/10

Well, it uses the same basic concept of splicing American footage with Japanese stuff.

Introduction As promised in my last PRfan93 Reviews Power Rangers, here is one of two blogs that reviews two other shows Saban made to cash in on Power Rangers' success: VR Troopers and Beetleborgs. Now...on with the show! The Episode Part 1 The episode begins at a haunted house, where two kids are running out, screaming their little heads off. These kids are Van and Trip, two rich jerks who act as the Bulk and Skull of this series. Trip (played by Todd Hurst) - Van's smarter brother who enjoys pulling get-rich-quick schemes and flaunting his "superiority". Van (played by Patrick Seaborn) - A less smarter version of Trip. Need I say more? Anyways, the next day, we are introduced to our three main heroes: Drew, Jo, and Roland. Unlike the Power Rangers, however, these three are grade school-middle school age. All three are fans of a comic book series starring the Beetleborgs, three Ranger-like superheroes. Drew McCormick (played by Wesley Barker) - Jo's older brother, and leader of the Beetleborgs. Roland is his best friend, and has a crush on Heather, a girl who works at the comic shop. Jo McCormick (played by Shannon Chandler in Big Bad Beetleborgs, played by Brittney Konarzewski in Beetleborgs Metallix) - Drew's younger sister, and the youngest of the trio. Roland Williams (played by Herbie Baez) - The only minority of our trio, Roland is an African-American kid, whose family owns the local comic shop. When the trio get to the comic shop, we are introduced to Roland's family, mother Abbie, father Aaron, and grandmother Nano. Abbie Williams (played by Channe Nolan) - Roland's mother, who works in real estate, and in Beetleborgs Metallix, runs the comic shop when her husband goes away on business. She doesn't see eye-to-eye with her mother-in-law...at first. Aaron Williams (played by Kim Delgado) - Roland's father, who owns the comic shop. He does not like his mother's "dangerous" lifestyle. "Nano" Williams (played by Vivian Smallwood) - Roland's grandmother (and quite an awesome one at that) who enjoys ridin' Harleys and messing with her son Aaron. She co-owns the comic shop. Trip and Van arrive, tease the trio, and then make a bet: see who can last the longest at the old Hillhurst mansion, which we had seen earlier. They agree, knowing full well that their opponents have no spines. Soon, after a bit of exploring, our trio encounters the three (later four in this season, and five in the second) house monsters: Mums, Frankenbeans, and Fangula. Mums (played by Blake Torney) - an ancient mummy with 703 siblings, his bandages reveal a Nightmare Fuel-inducing Grim Reaper form underneath. Frankenbeans (played by David Fletcher) - A Frankenstein-like creature with no brain (literally), Frankenbeans is the stupidest of the monsters. Count Fangula (played by Joe Hackett) - A vampire based on Dracula, Trip and Van are actually the first ones to encounter him, and chicken out of the bet because of it. While being chased by Mums and Frankenbeans, Jo accidentally activates the entrance to another room, which is empty, except for a mysterious organ...which begins to play on its own. Shocked by this, the kids try to get away...only to be confronted by Flabber, a ghost who was trapped in the organ. Flabber (played by Billy Forrester) - A phasm (ghost) combining elements of Elvis, Liberace, Jay Leno, Discord, and the Joker. He serves as the Zordon to the kids, albeit a much more comical one. In gratitude for releasing him, Flabber offers the kids a single wish. After a bit of thinking, the kids finally decide what they want: to become the Beetleborgs. Part 2 After a bit of comical misunderstanding (such as turning the kids into rats and trapping them into the comic book), Flabber grants their wish, transforming the kids into the three Beetleborgs: Drew, the Blue Stinger Beetleborg Jo, the Red Striker Beetleborg Roland, the Green Hunter Beetleborg After fending off the three house monsters, the trio demorph, and see three flying flames fly out, and once they leave, the flames become a group of evil aliens. These are the Megnavores, led by the evil Vexor. The Magnavores: Vexor (played by Joey Pal) - The leader of the Magnavores, Vexor seeks to rule the world, and creates his monsters via summoning them out of the comics. Typhus (played by Dave Footman) - Vexor's second-in-command who wields a sword. Noxic (played by David Umansky) - An android who is able to control machines and use them to his advantage. Jara (played by Rajia Baroudi) - Vexor's whip-wielding, Russian-accented third in command, she can't eat or drink anything due to her mouth staying two-dimensional. After summoning Vexor, the Monster of the Week is released, requiring the Beetleborgs to fight it. Rather than use giant robots, however, they use ATVs and tanks. With these new weapons, the trio fight the monster, then head back to Hillhurst. Flabber tells them that until the Magnavores can be put back into the comic book, they'll need to defend their home of Charterville from Vexor. When they get back to the comic shop, Trip and Van brag how they won the bet, but Jo informs them that they lost. Humiliated, Trip and Van leave, swearing revenge. My Opinion While I initially didn't like this show for its comedic tone and younger protagonists, I grew to liking the concept after watching the episode for the second time. Final Score 6/10
