Watched the first video. Nothing groundbreaking, really, seemed more like an overview of the trope than anything else, but it was presented quite well. Having watched them both, the rebuttal doesn't really hold up that well at all, IMO - it comes off as trying to show that feminist analysis is...

@The second video posted, the RE: Damsel in Distress one I didn't watch the first video yet and he makes a number of good points, but I just wanted to comment on a couple of things: *Again, I dunno how the fist video presented it, I see the damsel in distress trope as problematic from a...

That new Mickey short is pretty good. I like the art style quite a bit (though I can't help but think of the American Akira parody when I look at Mickey's scooter :awesome: ). Looking forward to more of them, in any case. I wouldn't expect anything's happening with a non-spinoff KH until...

Sketchbook stuff. I plan on trying to clean up and color the Pokemon ones in PS at some point: Octorok-inspired sort of things. I want to try to color them but I'm not sure what sort of style I should go for:

I'm not surprised that they haven't got any plans for a 2D feature, but it's still kind of a bummer. I think embracing 3D at the expense of 2D probably has more to do with business matters than anything. Like, the execs see that 3D animated films earn more than 2D ones and automatically chalk...

I was pretty bummed this didn't win the Oscar (but even more bummed that ParaNorman didn't win it). I wasn't necessarily surprised that Brave won, but it was kind of frustrating since there were lots of good animated movies out this year and Brave, while good, wasn't one of Pixar's best.

I wasn't sure whether to post in this thread or make a new one since it's a show on Disney Channel, but does anyone here watch Gravity Falls? If not, you should, especially since new episodes are coming out again! Here's the opening: tctX771EQeA

While it's definitely nice to see video games being talked about positively (as opposed to being Satan's tools to corrupt our precious youth) I agree with the points made in this thread. Also, games have the potential to get kids into stuff like art, but that isn't as viable as programming...

Currently replaying a bit of Wind Waker. Hopefully I won't lose interest in it after the second Forsaken Fortress bit (I just got to Tower of the Gods). For some reason I always end up replaying up to before the Earth Temple and then stopping. Sagi, Guillo, and Milly are great. I think it...

No More Heroes, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, and the Metroid Prime trilogy.

BK is one of my faves. I think the cards (and the voice acting :monster: ) scare people off, but it's totally worth playing. Baten Kaitos Origins is even better, though, IMO; I have a hard time going back to BK's battle system after Origins's, especially since the way Origins lets you discard...

These probably aren't worth bumping this thread for, but here goes: ^Little frog sketch that makes no sense in terms of construction but I sort of like it anyway. ^From quite a while ago, ref'd from an art history book. ^Cleaned up the gator sketch from a while back. I got super lazy...

Hotel Transylvania. The premise and story are really nothing to get excited about, but I still enjoyed it quite a lot overall. The animation is great and I'd recommend watching it for the visuals alone if you're into cartoony stuff. Some gags are better than others, which is to be expected...

I recently finished A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay after what seemed like forever. It's not that it's that long of a book, it just totally wasn't my thing. It's much more focused on philosophical ideas than on plot and characters, it's not particularly well-written, and the dialogue's...

Not sure how I feel about the 3D look. Maybe it's due to nostalgia, and I realize that Pokemon as a series has changed very little over the years, but the 2D graphics and sprites have always had a certain charm, IMO. But whatever, that fire starter is super adorable - fennec foxes are one of...

HylianMogget, please. Time to go back to my roots for a bit :monster: . (Don't worry - I'll update my AKA field).

The Muppet Christmas Carol is my all-time favorite Christmas movie which I pretty much watch every year. I always plan on watching more Christmas movies than I actually get around to, but I'll probably watch A Charlie Brown Christmas and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Also, maybe the stop...

Completely agree. It's nice and all but it just felt so out of place with the rest of the soundtrack and the overall feel of the game. About pop songs in general, I haven't played VIII, X, or XIII so I can't really comment. I like Melodies of Life a lot and thought it worked really well...

Return to Oz. I thought it was really good, though if I had seen it as a child it undoubtedly would have terrified me. It does a really good job of combining stuff from The Marvelous Land of Oz and Ozma of Oz and actually is a relatively faithful adaptation, especially in terms of visuals...

Theme of the Empire. I've always liked Rabanastre Downtown a lot, too. I really like FFXII's soundtrack as a whole, and Sakimoto's work in general, but it's more atmospheric than catchy, so it's harder for me to pick out a favorite song in particular.
