Wikipedia says it's still going, but that show is as dead as Joel Zimmerman's stage name. Hasn't aired new any episodes in a year, and CN mostly seems to have replaced it with the surprisingly LESS annoying show The Annoying Orange.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Now that I think about it, TPS could very well be a much better show if A) it weren't so gosh-darned UGLY and B) someone actually worked the concept out into one of those cool sort of fringe shows. Of course, that could apply to a lot of shows (case in point: Dexter's Lab and Phineas and Ferb being better versions of the same formula Johnny Test goes with).
Consumption of Star Wars, say, may be extended across a number of post-theatrical settings: the bar afterwards in which you discuss the film with friends, or the university seminar room in which you discourse about the semiotics of R2D2, or the Internet forum on which you post a piece of fan fiction about the previously unsuspected sexual fantasies of Han Solo

From what I've heard, it's disappointing because it's not the proper sequel to TTYD that everyone was expecting, but it's a pretty fun game nonetheless.

I wasn't expecting them to shove TTYD into a photocopier, though I admit some of the changes made (e.g. the overhaul of the partner system) weren't to my liking at first...

See you, Lazuli.
Blargh, still sick. I'd sleep in and skip physics tomorrow if it weren't for the exam I signed up to take right after class.

All the exams count toward the final grade, and they're worth about 17.5% each. I'd take that as a yes.
Most Americans can name their president, their congressmen and congresswomen, and several previous presidents, but not nearly so many know the constellations, or the names of stars, or how to tell graphite from granite.
When we were children, we didn't care about the name of some person who lives far far away in a city we never saw.
We cared about who got to use the swings, and where that butterfly was going, and why this rock is shiny and smooth while that rock is rough and dull, why this rock makes a green line on the wall while that rock makes a red one, and what that cloud looked like, and why those seven bright stars made a spoon.
We didn't know the names of grass breeds, but we could tell them apart by how they felt on our feet. We knew the call of birds but not their names. The whoooorararawhoooo, the fwaflafwifwifwa, the wraaaaaangkeeeeeeeeew.
How did we forget? How did I forget?
The world was so full of new things and wonder, how did I lose that? When did I forget to stop and smell the flowers?
Somehow, although my grades are good, I don't think I've really accomplished anything
Forsythe: Wow, that is amazing. There's even an ad for the Tengen games in there! I also like that there's a review of the original A Boy And His Blob in there. I haven't played it or the Wii remake, but the Wii version's website has memories involved. <3
Check out the completely clueless article on the Supergrafx. Good stuff in this issue.
Yup, I saw it. They're so obviously Sega fanboys that they didn't give the TG16 a fair chance at all. When it comes to system specifications, you can't really break down GPU nuances in a way kids on the playground will understand, but these idiots just looked at a rather short list of specs and said "SEGA!"

Well, the Supergrafx was pretty much the only same-gen console upgrade in history. It's a PC-Engine with another video GPU tacked onto it so it can have 1 more background layer than the PC Engine has (like the Megadrive), and this inherently doubled the sprite capability. They also added scaling and rotation as a bonus. The "4,000 colors" is a load of horsedump, it had no more capability beyond what's stated here.
One of the enduring myths is that because the Supergrafx is nothing more than a GPU upgrade, the CPU couldn't keep up. This isn't true at all, the CPU in the PC-Engine and Supergrafx are far more powerful than for a home game console than the generic, stock 68000 Sega dumped in the Megadrive.
