Pixelosophy Episode 33: Pins, Needles and Cake
Posted by Aaron and Alex (Mon, Feb 8, 2010)
This week, Pixelosophy officially enters “in-depth analysis” territory as the boys tackle video game review systems for the third straight week. Alex ponders the need for review malleability in a DLC-heavy world, and Aaron urges gamers to take a heaping spoonful of review responsibility themselves. Come and eat from the fruit of the review tree once again.
Don’t worry Aaron, I may have neg’ed on U2 with Alex, but I have Bioshock 2 arriving in the mail tomorrow morning, and I can’t wait!
And Bananaman, most definetely British, he was (or maybe still is) a character from the dandy!

That’s right, I completely forgot he was originally a comic character. I feel so lucky though to have grown up in the era of cartoons that I did (Rocko’s Modern Life, Animaniacs,Danger Mouse, The Tick, etc). I find it fairly interesting too that you can often see some pretty direct influences that some of these older cartoons had in a lot of the current comedy animation on Adult Swim. Or even in something like The MIghty Boosh which is essentially as close to a live-action cartoon as you’re going to get.
I fear the children of tomorrow will have zero sense of humor growing up in the age of pretty much only having things like Yu Gi Oh and Bakugan and the like. Although some of the newer stuff like The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack as well as the League of Super Evil are a glimmer of hope in an otherwise humorless anime world. Even the superhero stuff sucks these days (Super Hero Squad I’m looking at you) when compared to growing up with Batman The Animated Series.
Ok, cranky old man post over before I begin a sentence with, “Back in my day…”
