    This thread has inspired me to go back and play some Sonic games. I installed Sonic Generations (The console version. I have already played and completed the 3DS version) and I may purchase Sonic Forces once I get a Nintendo Switch.

    I still have some catching up to do on the franchise so that, the 3DS Sonic Boom games and maybe Sonic Mania will be my next few purchases.

    I was so excited to see it, and went the second week of release after school (I was in high school). After growing up with the original trilogy being worn out of my VHS and betamax, sitting though the special editions in theatres, I was expecting the best.

    And got Phantom Menace. And jar jar. And a bad Yoda puppet. And that annoying kid macking it on Natalie Portman. Eh... It was quite disappointing.

    But then you got the podrace, young Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon, and the whole final fight with Darth Maul.

  3. I don't understand the fascination the film industry has with making everything into live action or any sort of equivalent. It doesn't work, doesn't look good even with a high budget, and in cases like this laughs in the face of what being a cartoon is even about.

    Eh, in this particular case I'm against it. Mostly since it's unclear if the parents were informed of what exactly could go wrong.

    I feel like we can't really compare this to vaccination. After all, if a vaccination would cause someone some kind of problem, that problem would be limited to that person. But if we make a mistake with gene manipulation that causes some kind of problem, that problem can be inherited by that person's children and then their children etc. 

    I've always found it a bit funny how many uses arguments like this, yet so few volunteers to partake in unethical experiments. 

    You're not wrong. It's easy to tell others they should put their lives, or their childrens lives in this case, on the line for such a thing but another thing to do it yourself. That's part of why they're done without consent because few willingly would potentially cripple themselves or worse for the sake of scientific advancement.

     

    Personally, I'm just playing devil's advocate. I don't actually care about society enough to even consider it.

  5. I needed a change. I was basically forcing myself to play Lunar 2 and Tomba 2 the last few days or so and wasn't really having any fun. So instead I'm playing DmC: Devil May Cry and Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 3. I played DmC on 360 originally so now I'm doing it again on PS3 for the trophies. Neptunia is just tons of good fun. I've never laughed at a video game the way I do at Neptunia.

  6. This might sound a bit cruel but if the only way to advance as a species, particularly as far as disease resistence goes, it may be required to break the rules like this. A lot of advances in medical science were made from unethical experiments in the first place.

     

    We live in a society where it's not super necessary since most first world countries are relatively safe but given more extreme circumstances this sort of thing may become a necessity.

  7. There's been a lot over the years but to name a few:

     

    The Nameless One from Planescape: Torment

    Hei from Darker Than Black

    Saitama from One Punch Man

    Gabriel Belmont from Castlevania: Lords of Shadow

    Grey and Lucy from Fairy Tail

    The Emperor of Mankind, Garviel Loken, Gunner Ferik Jurgen and Caiphus Cain from Warhammer 40,000

    Kenji Kazama from D-Frag

    Patrick Star from Spongebob Squarepants

    Various versions of Dr. Robotnik/Eggman from Sonic the Hedgehog

    Riku and Xehanort from Kingdom Hearts

     

    The list could go on and on and on but I'll stop there. These are all characters that have stood out to me in one way or another. Ones I'll remember for a very long time.

  8. I consistently got D's and F's practically throughout middle and high school. Largely because I didn't even go to school half the time and no matter how well I did on assignments and tests it would never make up for all the stuff I missed.

     

    I ended dropping out in 11th grade but I technically should never have gotten there in the first place. I didn't have enough credits to pass 9th but they pushed me forward anyway.

    Multiple iterations of A Christmas Carol (Sim, Stewart, Carrey, Muppet, Magoo)

    Die Hard

    Gremlins

    Home Alone

    It's a Wonderful Life

    Miracle on 34th Street (the original, in Black and White ONLY)

    I have a vague memory of Santa Claus: The Movie with Dudley Moore, glowing candy cane reindeer candy, and a Big Mac.

    Specials Include

    Garfield

    Muppet Family Christmas

    Claymation Christmas

    Charlie Brown Christmas

     

    I'm also going to check out The Star from last year sometime soon. 

    Have you seen the Looney Toons version of A Christmas Carol? Bahumduck, I believe it was called. Also a good one.

     

    Unrelated to the above I also gotta give a huge shout out to Tim Allen's The Santa Claus movies for being one of the few non-animated movies to catch my interest. And I'm not just talking about Christmas movies.

    I've always been partial towards A Charlie Brown Christmas and The Nightmare Before Christmas myself, although the latter is usually considered a Halloween movie, I think.

    It can be both. Isn't that the point? :D

  11. I think what people are really mad about is that sites like Tumblr are pretty safe from viruses and whatnot so unlike a lot of existing porn sites people didn't have to worry about infecting their devices because they wanted to check out the adult content. Whether it's for the porn itself or simply for the art (because let's face it, porn artists are extremely talented) Tumblr was a well-known, familiar place where artists could get their stuff out there without endangering their fanbase.

  12. There's a theory that all of the Pixar movies are connected. In a roundabout way it's thought that the toys are somehow powered by the same life/energy source that powers the vehicle people in Cars and were made smaller to take care of and watch over humans instead of attempting to live without them.
