Yu-Gi-Oh had too many rules and bans to follow and it was a waste of money to buy booster packs and decks so I gave up on it when I was like 10 or 11.

Mittens95 January 5th, 2015 12:23 PM

I hated Yu-Gi-Oh because of it tried too hard to be all "dark" and "edgy" to the point it was so corny.

"BELIEVE IN THE HEART OF THE CARDS"

That's why I hated evil/dark Ash from the epsiode where he fought frontier brain Brandon in Pokemon: Battle Frontier. When ash was possessed by the king of Pokelantis i cringed HARD, such a poor attempt on trying to make a "dark" moment in the show. And I did enjoy most of the Hoenn Anime.

I did love my cartoons as a kid, though. Scooby Doo, Tom and Jerry, Samurai Jack, Courage the Cowardly Dog, Yu-Gi-Oh, Dragon Ball, Dragon Ball Z... You know, the good cartoons they used to play on TV.

Ugh, I sound old.

Samurai Jack was among one of the best things to ever hit Cartoon Network. I especially loved the episode when the bounty hunters were spending the whole episode planning to assassinate Jack. And the Scotsman that appeared in multiple episodes was such a funny companion.

Hehe, I made my first blog entry asking why is "edgy" still being used despite being the butt of the internet.

As far as Cartoon Network's old shows go, I like to present everyone this:

I miss that show that was like a bunch of young kids saving other kids from evil adults and their headquarters was like a huge tree, I don't remember what it was called

Kids Next Door! I always wanted to live in a treehouse like the one in the show when I was a kid.

There's still a ton of 12 year olds that haven't been outside of the YouTube comments section that think listening to Linkin Park and making Shadow the Hedgehog fanart makes them special snowflakes. IDK, but hopefully they will grow out of it.

yeahh that's it! that was my feel-good show as a kid, that and spongebob. i'm gonna miss spongebob :'(

Dexter's Laboratory was and probably still is one of my fave cartoons. I was soooo disappointed when it ended... sigh. I wish it was still on TV here in the UK.
Apart from that though, I watched far too much SpongeBob and The Fairly OddParents as a kid. SpongeBob isn't so good nowadays, but I still love FoP. Some of the newer episodes are great.

Mittens95 January 5th, 2015 12:50 PM

The only modern Cartoon Network show I still watch on a regular basis is Adventure Time. The show was a godsend to a heavily declining TV channel (When it first aired 5 years ago).

I've seen the horse with poo-brain episode soooo many times. And the backstory with the Ice King and the Great Mushroom War is just so deep.

Pepperton January 5th, 2015 12:52 PM

Regular Show > Adventure Time > Other Animated series right now

skyluigi2 January 5th, 2015 1:01 PM

Yep, Adventure Time is pretty much my favourite cartoon at the moment. Regular Show is also great, but I dunno... I've grown to like AT more recently.

blue January 5th, 2015 2:30 PM

I really can't get into Adventure Time, I've tried watching it and I just don't get it. I prefer the 90s shows.

TRIFORCE89 January 5th, 2015 5:15 PM

Are we talking about old cartoons?

Let's Get Dangerous!



(aside, I tried to get on a TV show recently to discuss how great and important older episodes of The Simpsons are. That didn't pan out)

Alfieri January 5th, 2015 5:33 PM

Darkwing Duck is awesome.

I'm also fond of the early Spongebob and Fairly Oddparents episodes.

But who could forget THIS?

Ah, the memories of older cartoons:


luo xiang January 6th, 2015 4:58 AM

Shining Raichu January 6th, 2015 7:49 AM

Thunder Cats is animated; you're thinking of Thunderbirds, which the upcoming Star Fox game is going to be inspired by.

Kyoe January 6th, 2015 3:02 PM

I really loved Star Fox 64, back in the day. Never played any other games from the series, for some reason.

That and Zelda OoT were the N64 for me as a kid.

Glameow January 7th, 2015 12:04 AM

Starfox 64 was the only game I played at my cousin's house. Our cartridge was broke or something when we bought it and my mom never took it to get a replacement

Shining Raichu January 7th, 2015 5:55 AM

The star fox game on GameCube was awesome, I'm still in love with it to this day,

Yukari January 7th, 2015 7:20 AM

Which one are you talking about? One of them really, really sucked in my opinion.

That said Starfox 64 was pretty awesome. But I, personally, enjoyed Zelda OoT and Super Mario 64 a lot more.

It's actually a widely accepted opinion within the fandom that one of them really, really pales in comparisons to the first two games, but then again, the Star Fox fandom hates any new title made after 64, just ask Smosh with their Star Fox skit back in 2011, and I just know they'll hate on the upcoming Wii U title.

Probably. A lot of people hated on Star Fox Adventures, but it was met with Critical Acclaim. Assault, on the other had was met with mixed critical reception but Fans seemed to like it.

I find it interesting how critic might love a game, but fans might hate it.

Tsutarja January 7th, 2015 8:37 AM

I've never played a Starfox game at all, but I'd probably have to be introduced to the series to understand it.

Alfieri January 7th, 2015 9:10 AM

I've never played a Star Fox game either. I've seen playthroughs of the 3DS version and I remember watching my cousin play through some of the Gamecube version. That's about all the history I have.
