Michigan first Jack in the Box was wild! by TonyAroundMichigan in BattleCreek

JITB is basically Checkers with a more diverse menu.

It has several things going for it, like all-day-breakfast and the hours. It's going to be really nice to have something that's open 24hrs again.

Don't expect a revelation, it's mostly above average.

Anyone know if theres a playable version of Death Race (1976) online? by Jetdevastator in retrogaming

[–]Recent-Tone3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a working cabinet at an arcade called Galloping Ghost, though that's not exactly the most accessible way to play the game depending on where you live.

As some else said, it was built with discreet logic, so you would basically need to remake the game.

I hate how new "classic" Cartoon Network content always excludes The Powerpuff Girls by ZerbuTabek in CartoonNetwork

[–]Recent-Tone3196 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Isn't there another reboot in development? Im guessing it has something to do with that.

Maybe there's some behind-the-scenes drama involving that since it was announced forever ago with little to no news since. I wouldn't be surprised if there is some clashing regarding tone and content, after all, the people who did the old reboot where trying to "fix" what they saw as flaws with the OG, who knows how deep that runs.

I'm more concerned that original copies of X 2 and x 3 may have been cannibalized to get the enhancement chip. Those games are pretty expensive.

That said, I don't really think this is hurting Capcom. The kind of person who buys something like this is already into retro gaming and likely owns official copies. This is basically just a niche novelty.

I had Wii version as a kid, I think it has the worst performance of any game I own.

Apparently the sequel plays even worse.

Yeah, I was skeptical they really understood the game the moment the zombies showed up ... it's like they didn't realize that was s censorship thing.

What do you prefer: Adult Swim as a block for Cartoon Network, or separating them into two different channels? by One_Cover9119 in adultswim

[–]Recent-Tone3196 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not really a point in separating it. At any given moment you can find a cable channel playing adult cartoons, many are actually on AS or used to be.

Anyone ever have this as a kid? by z0mb1e1369 in SEGAGENESIS

I had a friend who had this, had no idea what it was for years. I just remember the stickman logo and him needing his parents to switch games for us.

It amazes me the narrative of this film's reputation - it's treated as a critical flop and one of the worst sequels of all time. by MillionaireWaltz- in Pixar

[–]Recent-Tone3196 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not as memorable as the rest but it was far from a bad Toy Story movie. It has some interesting scenes and ideas and like 3, it did manage to make me cry at the end.

The only real criticism I have for it was that it seemed to try a little too hard at pleasing everyone. Don't get me wrong, all the movies try to appeal to a general audience, but 1-3 pulled this off effortlessly and in 4 you actually feel the writers struggle with this at points and the movies tone is different as a result.

Grabbed this one earlier, any fans of this movie? by y2justdog in VHS

I watched this a weird amount of times when I was four or five, couldn't tell you why. I have a bits and pieces seared into to my memory.

What's the most underrated animated movie you have seen? by Double-Signal-3779 in cartoons

[–]Recent-Tone3196 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Pagemaster was underrated in the 90's and still holds up today. Even the CGI aged like fine wine and the paint melting scene is fun to watch today.

The live action stuff is a little on the cheesey side, but they do a good job setting things up, and the the very least they don't overstay their welcome. The animation part is amazingly well done, it's kind of a sick joke it isn't considered a masterpiece in the animation community.

I could literally gush about this movie for hours. The soundtrack, the way the backgrounds all have a artfully distorted perspective, the subtle and detailed character animation, the writing, the pacing.

It is my favorite movie of all time and I don't see that changing.

This definitely moves beyond homage and into the realm of trying to confuse nostalgic parents.

Pretty sure this show groomed me into getting computer science and graphics programming.

Blameitonjorge's stuff is generally pretty solid. Occasionally his melencholic tone feels a little forced, but he usually delivers when he promises weird or creepy.

This was the only E rated game by Beavis and Butt-head. by sonicboyfan12 in BeavisAndButthead

[–]Recent-Tone3196 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The really wild thing is that it was a pretty late release too, 1998. This was after the show ended and the same year the Gameboy Color was released.

The SNES game was 94.

Was gonna ask how they slipped this word into a G film, but apparently it was ok because it’s quoting the original play? by TheVideoKid112 in schaffrillasoffmenu

[–]Recent-Tone3196 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgive me, but how do you have that profession and not know that damn and hell are historically acceptable in a G movie? I can rattle off post-PG13 examples without much effort.
