Mole 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2004 This is from EW, and I am not sure if this has been posted here. GAME OVER Prime-time animation is a notoriously risky genre, but UPN will take a chance on a unusual new CGI half-hour comedy that follows a family of videogame characters (voiced by folks like Patrick Warburton and Lucy Liu). "Real" cybercharacters such as the Abe's Odysee gang or Crash Bandicoot will guest-star. "There's this giant audience of gamers who haven't been approached with the proper respect and genuinely inspired project," says creator David Sacks. "We're the first show to take videogames as a cultural phenomenon seriously." Now all he has to do is get the joystick jockeys to switch off the PS2 and turn on the TV.(spring) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest El Satanico Report post Posted January 17, 2004 This is nothing new. What was the name of that cartoon from a few years that was in CGI and had characters representing the inside of the computer. It wasn't too bad. It's still hilarious how so many of you guys freak out over TAME make believe male on male sexual encounters. I could understand if she put explicit sexual situations in her sigs, but she doesn't. I mean come on, it's a fake scene of two dudes kissing...grow the hell up people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Downhome 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2004 What was the name of that cartoon from a few years that was in CGI and had characters representing the inside of the computer. It wasn't too bad. *marks out again* It was called Re-Boot, and I'd buy it on DVD if I could...I loved that freaking show. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HarleyQuinn 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2004 I remember when Fox or was it ABC? originally aired Re-Boot in it's saturday morning lineup(IIRC here), very cool show that was way ahead of it's time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest wrestlingbs Report post Posted January 17, 2004 EGM magazine has already said they aren't going to make new episodes of this show. It's got "Stripperella" status, ie. cancelled before it's even aired. I've seen photos of the show, and trust me when I say it's going to set a new low for "bad primetime cartoons." And Yuna, it's not the mild homoeroticism I'm worried about, it's your rising and disturbing obsession with PotC/X-men. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masked Man of Mystery 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2004 I think ADV has the rights to Reboot, so you might want to check and see if they released the DVDs. Some places(including the Best Buy I work at) put just about anything ADV in anime, and that has included Gamera, Yokai Monsters, and Mutant X. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Yuna, it's not the mild homoeroticism I'm worried about, it's your rising and disturbing obsession with PotC/X-men. Obsession is fun, yo. And what you see in my sig isn't the only I'm obsessed with, ya know. Edward Scissorhands is my second all-time fave movie [X2 being first, PotC being third] and it's not in my sig...used to be, but not now. Am I obsessed with Edward-slash? Ugh..hell no. I just think the movie is sweet and very charming. It's still hilarious how so many of you guys freak out over TAME make believe male on male sexual encounters. I could understand if she put explicit sexual situations in her sigs, but she doesn't. I mean come on, it's a fake scene of two dudes kissing...grow the hell up people. It totally makes me chuckle anytime I see a 'change your sig/it's disgusting!' comment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yuna_Firerose 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2004 there's also the 'Toad blowing Nightcrawler' thing, don't forget about that He wasn't blowing him; not yet anyway. Just licking Kurt's stomach while Kurt was, umm...all tied up And, trust me, there's a really naughty Kurt-Todd pic that I could've added, but decided not to. Actually, two. One where they're all wrapped up for X-Mas and another where they're...well, gettin' it on R-rated style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mecha Mummy 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2004 Moesha lasted a long time. And The Parkers. So, I guess a show has to suck to survive on UPN... *Remembers The Mullets.* Wait, maybe not. Well, anyway, if it's on their Monday night block of shitty sitcoms, it'll have a chance of making it more than one season. Everything else dies horribly, the only exceptions being Smackdown and Enterprise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
