Quit being a victim, dude. Granted she's your ex now but the fact that you stuck around long enough to let her say stuff like that to you more than once makes you part of the problem.

Whenever I talked to my ex about my feelings all she ever did was ***** about she had to "play therapist" >:\

At least she did it for free.

i wasn't Really going for "oh no adventure time madE cartoon network bad." it is actUally pretty Good, but many shows reLeased Afterward were just… woRse and worSe as time went on. it sort of "died" slowly

also, adult sWim is a different cHannel? i thought it was a prOgramming block.

Oh it's part of CN so technically not, but they're run by different people and in a sense practically are different networks. Didn't mean to cause any confusion I just didn't want you thinking you'd see this on CN proper.

And I disagree about the shows being worse after AT personally. I think stuff like Level Up is garbage but other than that and some other live action stuff...I'm pretty happy with CN. I like The Looney Tunes Show. Glad it's not desparately trying to copy the original LT formula like it was at the beginning of production as the Laff Riot variety show. Regular Show is a lotta fun though I wish the main love interest could be more than just a plot device. Gumball's a beautiful diverse series that's just funny and doesn't take itself too seriously, while featuring a family that actually loves each other.

I love the interface they're using for CN now though, honestly the best I've ever seen of it, well, ever. The 20th anniversary bumps they're airing (made from the same studio making their current interface) are hilarious and a really awesome way of paying tribute to their history and cartoons of the past and present. Not to mention Cartoon Planet every Friday hosted by Brak and Zorak is just a blast and has shown CN they can pull in great ratings just by showing some of their older stuff every now and then.

Finally! Good shows on Cartoon Network again! Trust me, I think it all went downhill from Adventure Time.

Ehh....everybody has their own impression of what show "killed" Cartoon Network and it's really little more than them just naming shows they happen to not care for. Even if you don't like AT there's no denying it's doing a lot for CN. It's a really popular show for boys and girls (a group CN tends to neglect), and tons of people older than the main demographic, meaning it actually stands a chance of getting Season DVD sets down the line (which is really incredible). Heck, it's even been nominated for an Emmy two years in a row! Not to mention it's obviously a commercial success. I know the comic books are actually really good and have been selling out of stores.

I'm not saying you have to like the show but there's no need to act like it's killing the network. It's doing the exact opposite.

That said, Toonami will only be on Adult Swim, not Cartoon Network. Thank God. Not surprised Williams Street wanted to bring their block back but I am surprised Cartoon Network let them.

And I hope by "good shows" you don't just mean shows you grew up with in the 90s...Because offering an old lineup with nothing new would just be a complete waste of the block. Fortunately it's just going to be a mix of new and old. Hoping for a higher emphasis on "new" with maybe just an hour or two of "old".

Happy Toonami's back.

Also happy for new dubbed One Piece coming my way the end of July. Really missed the FUNimation cast once Season 3 ended last year. I'll finally be able to see my favorite arc in English.

Mario Chat / Mario JPN Dialog in Paper Mario Commercial

Something I've been wondering is who's doing the voice of Mario here? I know for Japanese commercials for games like Mario Paint he was given a one-off Japanese VA, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. At this point in the 90s Charles Martinet was the voice of him in all media in both America and Japan (even though Mario didn't have any spoken dialog in PM).

I just found myself curious about the idea of Nintendo getting Martinet to record Japanese dialog for this commercial. Does anyone know for certain?

My username over there is Maron. I usually end up lurking except for certain threads in the OT.

Actually, I first heard of GAF from a link Super Jesse posted in here years ago.

The Anthem theme that plays second is definitely one of my favorites, but I honestly love everything on this. And this is only part of the album!

Wow, I thought me and David were the only ones that posted on GAF (I don't use this dumb username there of course). You have an account too, Luigison, or are you only a lurker?

They were originally going to air it, but the hurricane delayed everything a week, and Toriko, the new Toei series that is taking Kai's place in the timeslot, is scheduled to air April 3. Toei has confirmed they are not going to push back Toriko a week to air the final DB Kai, so it simply won't air.

Well, it actually made sense that Yamamoto would be doing the score for the show, since he's already proven his competence with the games' soundtracks.  Now that I think of it, they should just replace the plagiarized stuff with the music from the Budokai series.  Still Yamamoto, except not plagiarized and much better anyway.

Toei's idea of removing all of his music allows them to take his name off the credits and be completely done with him. If they only got rid of the plagiarizing tracks they would still have to keep Yamamoto's name with the series.

Anyway, Kai is over, since they aren't going to air Episode 98. And since reruns of the series on Toonzai have the DBZ score, it's only a matter of time until the Nicktoons airings follow suit.

Man, my Flash is broken on a lot of things besides YouTube and I can't figure it out. It works with Opera.

Thanks! I installed Opera just now and was glad to see it work!

I'm still having trouble installing Flash 10 on Firefox, leaving me unable to watch anything on YouTube. There's just a big, blank space on the pages where the videos are supposed to be...
