I got a N64 sometime after it was out and managed to not play any of the highly rated games for it. Instead I played games like Hexen, Pokemon Snap, Diddy Kong Racing, Star Wars Rogue Squadron, Destruction Derby 64, Duke Nukem 64, and Clay Fighter 63 1/3. There's still some games I'd like to play on it like Conker's Bad Fur Day, the Banjo games, Ogre Battle 64 and Paper Mario. It's a great system. I'll never get rid of mine.

"Come on little wooden boy, let's go on Patrol!" The Tick is a masterpiece. Loved it so much, downloaded all the episodes, then bought them on DVD (3rd season not out yet WTF!), got the original Ben Edlund comics (not the new ones which aren't very good in my opinion), and then watched the live action show (didn't enjoy it but maybe need to give it another shot), then watched the Ben Edlund co writen Venture Bros. episode (another favorite animated show of mine - not a superhero one though). The Tick is so great. Could watch it over and over again. Every second of it is chock full of visual gags.
Then Batman the Animated Show is absolutely brilliant. My favorite villainess, Harley Quinn, was created there by Paul Dini and Bruce Timm. That show is so visually stunning and the stories so great. It's a masterpiece too.
I revisited the Spider-Man 60's show that I loved as a kid. Didn't like it as an adult. Strange.
I rewatched that '66 Batman The Movie recently too. The Riddler's puzzle is so rediculous and Batman being bitten by an exploding shark... well... I was on the floor at that point. So crazy, so good. The casting for the villains was perfect. Just watch this trailer. Shark at 1:46.
