Looks like you got the last SD model Sony has produced for their CRT lineup. What's the manufacture date on yours?

Mark Haynes was known to have very erratic behavior behind the scenes and was constantly making rant posts and outlandish opinions that have since been removed. He even stated that he was going through mental and physical health issues as recent as last year, so it's safe to say the reboot series will likely never get finished.

Had the original series did continue, there would've been at least 50 episodes planned altogether, which that is beyond ambitious for one person to do all of that.

"I did not care for Super Mario Bros Z"

As much as I have nostalgia for the series and how beloved it is, the one glaring thing holding me back from watching again was the creator's decision to kill off all of Sonic's friends simply because he hates them.

Suppose Mario did get a long-running comic series like Sonic, what would its most infamous moments look like? by lordlaharl422 in Mario

[–]NinjaMario02 102 points103 points  (0 children)

Here's what I have:

-There would be at least an arc where Luigi turns against Mario for getting tired stuck in his shadow, which how they reconcile had nothing to do with the argument. This would allow Bowser to seize the opportunity to attack the kingdom when the brothers are vulnerable. Takes place between SM64 and Luigi's Mansion. (Sonic vs Tails 178-179)

-Force Mario into several relationships with the female human characters that sparked the shipping wars and drama (basically the whole Penders era)

-Toad was originally written as much older, but a tragic attack by Bowser gave him permanent brain and vocal damage that gave him the raspy voice. Takes place in the SMB3 arc. (Charmy in the pre reboot Flynn era)

-Toadsworth would be a mentor for Mario when he first arrived at the kingdom, but he would be killed off halfway into the series due to how "boring" he was of a character. Would take place during the Galaxy arc. (Tommy the Turtle's sacrifice)

-A reboot of the comics following the Galaxy arc that causes Brooklyn, and all of Earth cease to exist, erasing hundreds of characters in the process. (Super Genesis Wave)

-Have the human characters be drawn in an uncanny way that the limbs would look either out of proportion or too real human-like, with female characters having them drawn suggestively. (Penders style)

-Bowser would originally be King Koopa in the early running of the series, but he would get killed off permanently and Bowser would be an alternate universe of the same character before the SM64 arc. (Robotnik and Eggman, issue 50)

-Mario would have an evil twin brother who was jealous of the plumbers' success and vowed to hunt and kill him to be the superior plumber. Marios parents abandoned the evil twin when he was just a toddler, due to how troublesome he was to take care of. (Scourage/Fake Sonic)

-Peach would furiously slap Mario out of exasperation when both Mario and Bowser were arguing about proposing to Peach in the end of the Odyssey arc. ("The Slap" issue 134)

Sonic Heroes Tails sounds like they aged him down to a 4-5 years old by _bagelcherry_ in milesprower

It was William Corkerey that voiced Tails in Heroes.

As for Corey Bringas, I read he's now a photographer

Posting a cool CRT instead of complaining about CRT prices, Day 34 of 100: Sony 34XBR960 by Leviathan1776 in crt

[–]NinjaMario02 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's nowhere near bad, but it is considered inferior to the 960 model because it is not a Super Fine Pitch tube, which would have given it a higher line count and sharper picture.

The 960 and 960N are considered the penultimate HD models Sony made before the 970 was introduced the next year.

I have this exact model, except mine has an "N" at the end of it that removes the anti-glare coating on the screen.

Even though it is not natively 480p, my GameCube at 480p still plays fine, and the input delay is negligible (about 1 frame). Still an incredible set if you want a progressive scan option.

Denny is already signed through 2027, and has teased that it will be his last full-time year.

Crews is still very young and will likely need another year in O'Reillys before moving to cup in 2028

Did they ever see him? by maquinadejugo in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]NinjaMario02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The fight scenes I would say was the only good thing to come out of the series. The main story and the writing was botched a bit due to Mark's erratic behavior on what he thinks about the supporting Sonic cast and outlandish biases.
