So...I'm tossed about Skyrim and Legend Of Zelda...both are must owns..but..I just can't seem to...find a way to play both.
This is very simple. Figure out which game is shorter, and play that one first. Having never played an Elder Scrolls game, I wouldn't know how long they are, so Im not too helpful there:p

Let's just say I've clocked hundreds of hours in the series.
So, uh, I just started watching Batman: TAS. This is a rabbit hole I was not expecting.
Also, this was originally intended for kids?
Yeah, I watched it when it first aired. I think you're giving kids far less credit than they should get on this one, considering what I remember reading book-wise when I was in first and second grade.
You should watch the movie, "Mask of the Phantasm". It's possibly the best Batman movie ever made.
Also, you should really get around to Moral Orel. Then you can be excited for the new TV special.
Also you should show up sometime when you say we'll play Civ.
But after watching Spoony's videos, I want to make my own RPG.
Heh. Thats me all over.
I just want to make stuff in general.
But maybe a RPG like that could be an interesting idea, since it doesn't involve a lot of physical stuff.
(Plus I'm always full of ideas. Like I've already thought about playing around with Revive and Time crystals, so death of a character or a loss of a battle isn't entirely permanent, but would still be challenging in the long-run.
It certainly would be interesting to see how people would use them. Would they use them as soon as they need them, or would they try to save them until later on to save a higher level character (so if someone died, then they would just make a new character when they get back to town), or maybe even sell one to make some good money to improve their equipment and abilities, (though the trade off would be that better stuff would attract more thieves in term of frequency, scale and level so they have more chance of stuff being stolen, and harder time enduring in the long-run)
The time crystals could also be used to reverse traps, or change the fate of an NPC
which could lead to interesting new events.)
Honestly, I think far too often kids shows are less what kids would actually want to watch and more what their parents would prefer them watch. This, and the fact that I grew up with only public broadcasting television, is pretty much the main reason why I watched so little TV as a kid and read books instead. It's harder for parents to know exactly what it is you're reading and in my family especially, I got cut a lot of slack for reading age-inappropriate things if it was also a classic.
Under the Red Hood and Return of the Joker are also great Batman movies.
Under the Red Hoood is only passable at best, and that's only because it went with an explanation for Jason Todd's resurrection that was better than the original "Superboy Punched Reality" reasoning.

Same, at least in terms of reading "age-inappropriate" things as a child. Since I took home a new book every day, I really doubt my parents ever bothered to keep track of it all. But then, I also watched a lot of TV. This is probably why I'm a couch potato self-described "intellectual" and you're an actual scientist. =p

Well...the time that I wasn't reading, I spent either playing Age of Empires II or inventing incredibly complex role playing games in the backyard, which generally devolved into creating new martial arts based on the use of seven foot tall bamboo poles.
So, I guess I proved that playing video games and reading age-inappropriate material really DOES make kids violent.

I'm not sure how true that is, considering I'm pretty nonviolent myself. Maybe you're just a violent person. =P
*sucks in harshly* Ohhhhhh, describing yourself as an intellectual. Chalk two prat points up for RD.
To be fair, I only do that when I *say* I do that, and I put quotation marks around it. In that sense, it's really more self-deprecating than it is congratulatory.

Excellent excellent, it sickens me to see people walking around with actual self-esteem. 'Oh, look at me, I work at CERN, i'm making discoveries that'll change the face of physics!' It's just smugness is what it is!!

Ooh! That's what I do!
Actually, I'm more about making mutant spider monsters and cackling insanely while I do it.
As far as Childrens cartoons are concerned, I'd argue that they hit their peak sometime in the 90's, but for some reason, when we hit the 2000 mark, most new cartoons have just been dreadful.
Which is disappointing as kids deserve better.
Hell, if I had kids, I'd watch what was on TV, and if I thought it isn't particularily very fun, then I would show them the real good stuff I've seen.
As far as Childrens cartoons are concerned, I'd argue that they hit their peak sometime in the 90's, but for some reason, when we hit the 2000 mark, most new cartoons have just been dreadful.
It's amazing how someone always says the apex of children's cartoons always hits when the person in question was a child.
Under the Red Hoood is only passable at best, and that's only because it went with an explanation for Jason Todd's resurrection that was better than the original "Superboy Punched Reality" reasoning.
The final Batman vs Jason fight was pretty badass though.

That may be the case Mr. Dashing, but I have some objective merit to my argument as well.
You see, regarding the 50's and 60's, there is very little to say in regards to good children's TV.
70's children's television was mostly pretty good, but only if you were a youngish child then, as there was little in the way for older kids.
80's was where we had a lot of animated shows, and there are some pretty darn good ones like Thundercats and Ulysees 31.
But lets be honest here, characterisation and plot variety in some shows were just dreadful.
Not many really stepped out of the box, (mostly because a lot of shows were meant to shill toys, (and at least the 90's did a better job of justifying it! XD)).
And I'm not saying the 2000's were all bad, as we had Samurai Jack, Courage the Cowardly Dog (technically 90's but most of its run was early 2000), Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, Megas XLR, but a lot of Children's TV is stupid, poorly acted "live" shows, and a lot of animation has just lost its "soul" as it were, as most of it is all done in flash.
(Its just too clean for me, and I know I'm not the only one here that agrees on that either)
Plus I'd argue I could make a larger list of great 90's shows (and valid reasons why on an artistic merit) than anyone else could in their repective eras.
I was, but my parents were complaining about my noisyness so I stopped.
(Plus it was kind of inconvenient as I had a early shift at work the next day, (as well as me having to quit early, meaning, I would be a little behind each session, and for some reason that irks me a bit))
It was great fun, and I learned a fair bit about how the combat and stats work.
A lot of the Warner Brothers Looney Tunes shorts started out in theaters as things for adults to watch while waiting for the movie to start. They wound up turning into kids cartoons that weren't too bad.
I haven't seen a whole lot of modern kid shows, but I have the feeling they've become more commercialized, where the point is to get kids to convince their parents to buy things more than anything else. Not that that element was missing in older times.
I guess growing up on books rather than TV shows is what surprised me. I did watch a lot of superhero stuff- Static Shock, Batman Beyond, and X-Men Unlimited, but that wasn't until I started high school. Middle school and younger I watched almost no TV, so I never knew what was considered appropriate for a kid. I was more surprised as to how dark Batman TAS was- I'd "almost" expect it to have aired in the Midnight Run alongside Outlaw Star or DBZ if I didn't know the context.
They all seem to be hiding on the Student Room forums for our uni.
Well I guess considering all the people there, and the lack of proper society, (there is one, but it seems to have dissolved/disappeared) its unlikely I'm going to just stumble across people that play videogames, especially anywhere near the level I do! XD
(Plus I go to the business campus, and most of the societies are based on the other general campus, which I never have the time to go to, (since I commute))
I don't know what sort of level of gamer they are, (probably casuals/intermediates), but I basically advertised myself on there, so we shall see.
EDIT: Also Alan Carr should do voice acting.
Especially with that laugh of his.

Fun fact: Batman: The Animated Series also occupied a prime time slot for a brief period after it premiered, due to critical acclaim.
I have no idea. I just found these online. I was looking for this really freaky Bill Clinton one, but the only version I could find didn't allow linking to the image. And I was feeling lazy.
Basically, the point is is that the eyes and mouth have been flipped upside down in both these images, but the top one looks normal because our brain is programmed to recognize eyes and mouth in the upright position. That's the point.
I just had my webcam microphone sorted out, properly as well.
(And my LP explained a lot of suff too. It was kind of a walkthrough as you go sort of thing...)
DAMN!
EDIT: I guess I wouldn't be able to use it anyway since my little bro was creating too much background noise....
(I hate it when he does that, but thats the autism for you.)

If you want to know more, the TTG DnD group will be reconvening at some point in the future. Probably. If we get our collective act together.

How does this work if the person in question didn't start watching the cartoons of their generation until they were a legal adult?

about a month ago, I see/hear the name Zooey Deschanel for the first time
Today I find out that Zooey Deschanel played Trillian in Hitchhikkers Guide to the Galaxy
I think I'm doing this in the wrong order.
Bahahaha
Photoshop scares me sometimes...
