And the episode after that? Some marine biologist has a device that can telepathically communicate with sea life. So he sets whales, sharks, fish and giant squid out to attack tankers and oil rigs and waste disposal plants. This show is great

I actually saw some episodes of DoE. And that last paragraph sounds like something straight out of "The Swarm".

Man, this show. There was this episode where they went to protect these sacred gems that turned out to be the eggs of a space dragon. Watching he show is like stuffing sweets into your mouth for 2 hours and then going to bed and having the most hilarious dreams.

Nice GG, the best line ever is from Starcom

They are on a buggy on Mars, trying to outrun a sandstorm. The sandstorm is catching up to them.

Crowbar says: "Slim, can't you go a little faster?"

Slim answers: "Yes, I can. Get off and I will go a little faster"

Wow, you are right GG, I saw the scene where the Phantom calls upon the strength of 10 tigers, and he uses it to disarm the robots. Why did he not just smash them? And since when has the phantom got Bravestarr-like powers? I thought he was like Batman, no superpowers and all!

He needs the power of 10 tigers. Tigers are about 4 times the strength of one man. So he gets the strength of 40 men. I think I know why, Lothar in the first few episodes of the series was just a normal guy. And Rick Gordon built him these gauntlets that when clashed together game him 10 times the power. So he came off a bit weak as a character.

After that they subtely phased out the gauntlets and made him naturally strong, whilst the Phantom is like an athletic ninja that becomes really strong when he uses his 10 tiger power. So I think part of it was to give Lothar more cache.

The only cool Phantom was Billy Zane's one.

Thinking back, that film isn't bad you know. But now I'm on this retro kick, you know what I really want to pick up?

Bah, stupid. And Phantom is a cross between a ninja and Tinky Winky. I need to watch Bravestarr, must find it on the internet. Strength of a Bear bear bear >> Strength of 10 tigers

You son of a bitch, you went too far this time, you hear me?

I was starting to worry that I had fucked up Insert Coin. For a long while nobody posted.

Dolph Lundgren kicked all kinds of asses back in the day. And yeah, I must probably be one of the only 3 people that enjoyed The Phantom movie.

I think it was from when Hollywood got this weird urge to pump out obscure superhero movies.

Like the Shadow. Again, on reflection, not bad.

I got Showdown in Little Tokyo for my dad for $6 last week.

Ahh, Kristy Swanson. I used to have a crush on her.

Wow I found a episode of Bravestarr on Veoh.

The Good, the Bad and the Clumsy

I am watching it now!

Strength of a Bear bear bear.

I favourited it. I would rather watch Galaxy Rangers though.

Oh please have mercy Tinky Winky. Please do not hit me with that handbag of yours. Please, have mercy for I did not know what came over. The only thing that shall come over me in the future, shall be you, Lord Tinky Winky.

You bastard

The Phantom was invented in the 1930s. Teletubbies ripped him off in mockery!

It's unclear as yet what the long term impact from the international market meltdown will be, but the industry will be fervently hoping that the old adage about alcohol and entertainment in a recession holds true - and that videogames are high up on people's gift lists in the next couple of months

Its funny because I really don't see any difference AT ALL between now, and 5 or so years ago, here in the USA. So I guess we've been in a recession since Bush "won" his 2nd term in Office, because nothing has changed at all in that time other than not as many homes being bought since anyone who can afford one already has one, while they're so overpriced that its not worth it for anyone who isn't rich, or at least has 2 solid incomes. Unless you want to buy a turd in a crappy area.

But I mean, Inflation has been out of control here for years, we've been getting ripped off on everything for years, and people have been just barely getting by for years. So this sudden talk of recession kills me. Recession seems to be another term for "we've hit the wall and ripped people off as much as we can".
