I always felt weird in the sense that traditional "kids fears" didn't phase me as a kid, but scare the crap out of me as an adult. For example, as a kid, heights didn't phase me at all, heck I almost jumped off a mountainside for fun (thank god my dad was there, jeez) but now? Dear lord anything above 15 feet makes me uneasy. That said, as a kid I was terrified of demons. I went to a very odd daycare growing up (place was a train wreck let me tell you, I remember slamming a kids head in a brick wall multiple times and just got timeout) and every Sunday they would tell us about how demons would kidnap us in the middle of the night and torture us forever. I was also deathly afraid of aliens, which I still am to this day, but to a lesser extent. I had so may nightmares about being abducted by aliens, especially after I saw a UFO. Me and my dad would watch countless alien documentaries on History and Discovery, and watch tons of alien movies together, like Independence Day, Signs, Mars Attacks and Invaders from Mars (1953) for example. Each movie scared me to high heaven.

Well I don't have a crush now, but for the only real one I had, I admired just how cool she was. She was beautiful, but super friendly, chill, down to earth, loved Pokemon, Zelda and anime. It never really worked out, but we're still good friends. There was also this girl in my old neighborhood who I briefly developed a crush on, but we never talked and only interacted once or twie. She seemed really friendly, upbeat and nice though, but I was always to shy to say hi. Anyone who you love like family?

It's either a peanut, a bowl of peanuts or a book about farting (don't ask) What an...interesting selection, lol. Either way it's gonna be an unique cutie mark at least.

I managed to convince my friend that Rose from SU was a horrible person and that Garnet is in fact, a terrible leader and horrible person. The latter of which I will stand by til the end of time.

I grew up on Nicktoons, tons of Nicktoons shows have gone forgotten. People already mentioned Mr. Meaty, Martin Mystery, Making Fiends and Kappa Mikey (all four of those shows were my jam as a kid, and they still hold up, even Mr. Meaty if you're into weird crap like me). Some other super obscure ones areVoltron: The Third Dimension, Speed Racer: Next Generation, The Secret Show, Edgar and Ellen, Wolverine and the X-Men, Iron Man: Armored Adventures, Three Delivery, Catscratch, Tak and the Power of Juju and Back to the Barnyard. Not all of them were winners (I remember liking Edgar and Ellen, Three Delivery and Catscratch and Three Delivery, The Secret Show and Back to the Barnyard holds up quite well), but man Nick had so much variety back then. Mid to late 2000s were a weird time, when Dragon Ball Kai was considered a Nicktoon.

Arthur, Adventure Time, The Loud House, DuckTales 2017, Peanuts by Schulz (2014, the most underrated show ever), Justice League/Unlimited/Action, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2003/2012) and Legend Quest/La Leyenda are some of my all time favorites. Regular Show, Amazing World of Gumball, Avatar: TLAB, We Bare Bears and The Simpsons are also up there. Voltron Legendary Defender, Family Guy, Steven Universe and Star Vs TFOE are shows I used to really like, but they ended up losing their luster after awhile to me...Classic Family Guy is still a treat though! Anime wise, Digimon (Adventure, 02, Tamers, Frontier, Savers, Universe), Soul Eater, Detective Conan, FMA (2003), Dragon Ball Z, Unicron Trilogy InuYasha and Tanoshii Mūmin Ikka are more or less the only anime I ever really liked. And even I will admit that a good number of those are guilty pleasures.

Whoa, really? I recently rebought Destroy All Humans on PSN and have been having a blast with it. The fact that their may be a new game coming soon leaves me elated.

Both are games I really wanted to play as a kid. Especially War of the Monsters! Destroy All Humans! was another great homage to B-Movies kinda game. We really need a new giant monster game, man.

I haven't watched much of the Generation 1 cartoon, I've only see two episodes in fact. "The Would Be Dragonslayer" and "Baby, it's cold outside". "The Would Be Dragonslayer" was really fun, especially with how unexpected it was (the ponies just beat up a kid in the first few minutes, I found that hilarious for some reason) and "Baby, it's cold outside" was actually a pretty good adventure story with a fun villain. Can't say how the generation on the whole was but the cartoon didn't seem half bad. The G1 comics on the other hand were pretty bad.. I actually really want to watch My Little Pony Tales. It seems pretty interesting from what I've seen. I don't really know much about G3 other then the fact that I played the video game on GBA once...that was a thing.

I'm not sure if it has a name (and if it does, I'd love to hear it) but I have a huge fear of spiral patterns. Those things freak me out to no end. Trypophobia (fear of holes) is another one that freaks me out.

It's a humanized version of Snails, from a MLP webcomic I read as a kid and recently rediscovered. Snails is one of my favorite side-characters and I liked how he was drawn in the comic so I thought it would make a fine avatar.

I used to be very into the competitive scene in my younger years. I spend about 4 years straight playing Pokemon Online (Showdown just isn't the same, man) and had a blast. I was even a member of the Elite 4 on a server I played on, the final member at that! My specialty was Bug Mono, which I use this day, it's one of my better teams, that's for sure. I play a lot of monotype by the way and have teams for nearly every type nowadays, but most kinda stink. I kind of fell out of it when my favorite server went down and my friends split apart, (we're back together nowadays!) but still sometimes played with my sister. I'm back into it nowadays, but not as hardcore as I used to be. I mostly play in NU/UU and sometimes LC. (P.S. i'm always up for a battle :P) Casually, I don't really EV train or breed, I save that stuff for Showdown. I do however, try to get optimal/decent natures. I just try to use Pokemon I like rather then Pokemon that are competitive gems. I mean, it usually doesn't matter...Girafarig was one of my top players in my last game and she didn't have a base stat over 100. Sunflora is, by all definitions, a pretty mediocre Pokemon but she was my ace in my Pokemon Omega Red nuzlocke too. As for Nuzlockes, I've played a few of them over the years. I don't think I'll ever forget the time when a Togetic used Metronome and got Thunderbolt on my Gyarados...

Gotta agree with the stuff @Prowl posted before me. Transformers: Devastation was gorgeous and FighterZ blows me away. My sister says it looks like trash, she's crazy I swear. Steven Universe: Save the Light was not a very good game, but it had some great visuals. Very simplistic yet colorful. Unfortunately, it also had very limited visuals that made the best part of the game feel samey after awhile. Phantasy Star IV is an older game, but I love the way it does cutscenes. Very cinematic for the time with classic, 80s/90s style anime portraits. The game has aged incredibly well, way better then I, II and III so I suggest checking it out if you want to enjoy great JRPG fun.

I use Reddit a lot. Usually a good source for news, art and discussions, depending on what sub you're on. I'm a regular on /r/AdventureTime, /r/Digimon, /r/Aliens, /r/WantToBelieve and /r/WorldBuilding. I used to be a regular on /r/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil and /r/StevenUniverse but...those subs kind of hit a dive in quality in recent years. My experiences on /r/PhineasAndFerb has also been strangely pessimistic, turns out people really, really hate "Milo Murphy's Law". Used to be a regular on /r/Civ, it's a great subreddit but I don't have as much time to play Civ nowadays. /r/EdEddnEddy, /r/Superman, /r/Batman and /r/Cryptozoology are other subs I browse from time to time. Usually as a lurker.

I'm often very vocal about how hokey of a name "Jordan River" is, so probably 2/10. Could be worse. Of course, my dad is quite proud of the fact that he was gonna name me "Justin Time" which is so lame it becomes kind of awesome.

The Ace Attorney movie wasn't bad actually. Not what I would consider a stellar film, but it looked like the games and felt like the games. It was a fun, enjoyable movie and I really did get the impression the folks who made it were fans of the source material, or at least knew about it. If you count animated films, Digimon X-Evolution is based more or less on a video game/TCG event and is intertwined with a series of games. It's not a bad movie, but it's not amazing either. Kind of feels like edgy fanfiction at times with the scenes of Digimon getting slaughteed and Omnimon killing baby digimon, but it's not a soulless cash grab or anything. That said, the upcoming Monster Hunter film sounds like trite. The pre-release synopses for the movie don't even sound real, but they apparently are...

I've played almost all of them. I (on the SNES), II, III, IV, IV: Colonization, V, FreeCiv and Classic Colonization. I freaking love Civ IV, man. It's just so much fun, controlling 20+ cities (AT MINIMAL) and own entire continents as you struggle to rule the world, changing your civics and balancing your research/culture per turn. It's great fun and the soundtrack is amazing. The modding community is phenomenal! So many great mods, Caveman2Cosmos, Rocks2Rockets, Their was a really good mod for it that I forgot the name of, it added over 100 Civilizations, each with at least 2 leaders and had a TSL Earth. It was so much fun, had some really cool civs too, lie Inuit and Tibet. IV: Colonization is also a ton of fun, I think it gets a bit to much hate but I think it's enjoyable...it needs mods to be great though. Religion and Revolution, Werewolves! and Colonization: 2071 are great. I can't believe the game still has an active modding community, but it does! V is great too...but everyone knows that. IV doesn't get much love nowadays. The Equestria mod for V actually started from a really old mod for IV that replaced every unit with a pony version of it. It was surprising ambitious. Edit: I have FreeCol too but I have't played a whole lot of it.

Opoona on the Wii is pretty obscure. It had a following for awhile but that seemed to die out eventually. It was this ATB RPG where you played as a group of alien "Tizarian" siblings who crash landed on a future Earth. Aliens on Earth are a fairly common thing, so you're accepted, but your parents are seriously injured. The bulk of the game is this really cool adventure where you explore a really unique version of Earth with some of the weirdest enemy and character design you'll ever see. The plot starts off as a fairly basic quest structured story where you work as a soldier of sorts, but it eventually evolves into this really unexpected and extensive story with cults, bandits, and an ancient alien menace. The game was largely disliked for its admittedly poor pacing and bad structure, but if you can get over that, it's a really fun adventure. Amazing OST too, if you like more chill, relaxed music in your games. It's not nearly as obscure, but it's a game I do't hear much out of a very specific group of people, but Digimon Story: Cyber Sleuth was amazing. While its roster of playable Digimon was rather slim, it had a compelling narrative that lasts well over 80 hours, keeping my interest the whole time (once you get past the slow start, that is). It really eels like you're playing through an entire anime with story arcs, character development and consistently rising stakes. One minute, you're threatening weirdos who stalk girls, the next you're fighting against a company that kidnaps girls and turns them into waifu pillows (yes that happens and it's hilarious), before you know it you're fighting to save the entire multiverse and finally you're fight the literal embodiment of the seven deadly sins who have long sense transcended space and time created the very concepts of good and evil. It's crazy good. The cast of characters are all memorable, from the extremely good-natured protagonist whose both insane and yet the only sane character, his rival who actually manages to pull off the "edgy rival arc" quite well and an old, washed up KISS cosplayer who speaks in l33t speak. I hear its follow-up is even better!

Last night me and my dad watched this show called "Magician" on Netflix. I love the premise, anything about magical schools of witchcraft and wizardry always captured my imagination but the execution didn't hit me. IMO, it lacked the same level of whimsy and, well, magic that made stuff like Harry Potter, Soul Eater and even The Worst Witch so much fun. Other then that, I watched some alien docs on Netflix.

It all really depends on the version of Superman we use here. If you use, say, DCAU Superman, Post-Flashpoint Superman, Super Friends Superman, etc vs Ultra Instinct Goku, then Goku wins. In fact, most incarnations of Superman will probably lose. But, if you use the strongest incarnations of Superman like Strange Visitor Superman, who surpassed Mr. Mxyzptlk, a 5-Dimensional Imp, in power, then he takes this easily. Personality wise, Superman is and forever will be my favorite superhero. Only Daredevil, Captain America and Nightcrawler come close. I like Goku, but not nearly as much. (Krillin ftw)
