| 1529 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awww yeah. This is what I'm talkin' 'bout Willis. Sooo much good stuff in this article. I loved about all of these shows, and I agree with every point you make regarding the styles of animation. I pretty much disliked any and all anime growing up. I didn't like the style, as it was too simplistic and crazy looking. Not to mention that dubbing them over made for some really strange interactions between characters. Unlike traditional American animation dialogue, you would have the weird moments where the characters talk over each other, or say things that really make no sense, or don't flow with the conversation. It is funny how now I can tell just by the style of animation, which studio pumped out a particular cartoon. Look at Dennis The Menace and Heathcliff. You could interchange the characters in those shows and nothing about the character design or animation would need to change at all. The same goes for Sunbow and Filmation. Speaking of Filmation... they get no love here!!! Really? C'mon Hoju! The animators of He-Man himself! BraveStarr? Ghostbusters (the non-Bill Murray led team)? Filmation was really good at taking movements from actual film footage and changing them to animation, then reusing those same animations while fitting in different characters. These animated sequences were repetitive, but also very smooth. I loved Filmation's style. Looking back now at cartoons from Sunbow, it's easy to see that some segments were well done, and some were just dreadful. This was especially true of Transformers. There would be times when a character was not colored properly, or missing a mouth or eyes or some other detail. Times when the animation was so choppy it was as though they had run out of frames and needed to cut a few. Yeah, Transformers could be pretty bad looking at times. I never really noticed it as a youngster, but now I can see it doesn't hold up well sometimes. Great breakdown of 80's classics Hoju. I loved this one. | Nov 26, 2014 |  | |

| 3558 | Article | Vaporman87 | Awwww... man. Talk about disappointment. I'm guessing your parents were hitting every thrift store and yard sale they could find to try and make things right, to no avail. Bummer. But hey, an SNES! LOL. I can just see you pounding away gleefully on that controller while occasionally looking over at your bro and sighing before refocusing on the 16 bit glory. | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 12, 2016 | |

| 3415 | Article | mickyarber | Back in '88 while going through NYC, my family got lost in Chinatown. That was kinda scary to a 10 year old. Really fun article. | China Town | Mar 04, 2016 | |
| 5626 | Article | back in middle school I had a small collection of Pokémon figures from some cheap gacha machines around the town, one of the girls who used to play with us got mad at me for some reason and decided to flush my Pokes away, literally. The whole class got mad at her and I did too, but I was about to let it go when her mom got me a small set of Pokémon figures from a toy shop, those were a bit more expensive than the cheap gachas I had, so I felt kinda guilty accepting them :p I did forgive her of course, we were kids, and kids do stupid things | Top four disappointing moments of childhood | Mar 31, 2022 | | |
| 4798 | Article | Ravenloft | Back in those days we never wore helmets for skating or bikes except the one time we tried BMX. Helmets weren't a thing and nobody's parents freaked out about it. That said, one of our elementary friends died in a header on his bike. Funny how when we were gearing up our little brother elbow/knee pads and helmet were the first things we bought. We also found a natural jump made of two upturned concrete sidewalk slabs that made a perfect steep upside down V. We foot stomped for all we were worth trying to gain speed to launch, eventually we took turns with a bike rope tow to get truly impressive (for kids) distance. Also a sidewalk in our apartment complex went down a hill to a 2 1/2 foot drop off into the parking lot and it was the defacto launch for the entire neighborhood. We called it the doom drop. I think it was a handicap accessible thing because the sidewalk lead straight to an wheelchair apartment. No one launched a skateboard off that thing and survived a landing although we tried for years, but with bikes and scooters we could do it. The scooters with the mini bike tires not the lame scooters with the rollerblade wheels-those things would highcenter as soon as the front wheel went off the doom drop causing the kid to attempt a full front flip or die. | Skate or Die Generation | Jan 14, 2019 | |

| 4708 | Article | Vaporman87 | Barbara and the Mandrell sisters were pretty big in the early to mid '80s. They had a variety type show on television that I can recall. That "Handwarmin'" ad just doesn't capture the spirit of Christmas like the "On The Pond" one. Still, it's a valiant effort. | 5 More 80s Christmas Commercials | Dec 13, 2018 | |
