Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando improved so much from the first game that it was pretty amazing. And Up Your Arsenal took those improvements and refined them. Really great trilogy of games. No disrespect to Mega Man Legends, but Ratchet and Clank is what a 3D Mega Man game should've been.
Well, not very well anyway. But then, I'm a big dummy when it comes to that sort of thing.
Oh no, Electronics Puzzle Lab was probably the worst game I played in this batch.
When I was a kid I would go trick or treating with my best friend and when we were done, I'd give him all the Halloween candy I didn't like, which was more than half my bag. That's probably one of the reasons why I stopped trick or treating once I hit Middle School.
Also If I spent the night at my friend's house and he had Lucky Charms for breakfast, i'd take all my marshmallows out and put them in his bowl. Then his mom would wonder why he was so hyper for the rest of the day. :)
I reviewed the original Moving Out a few years ago:

I like the idea of Little Big Planet but I never got around to spending as much time with it as I'd like to. You can't play them all, you know. My brother Jeff LOVED those games, though. The same folks who made that game also made another one that I liked a lot better called Tearaway. It used paper visuals even better than Paper Mario. It's one of the best PS Vita games and the remake is one of the first games I got for the PS4.
The first Cotton game I reviewed was just a reboot of the original game, but they made it more accessible and let you play different versions of it so that was pretty neat.
Panorama Cotton was a 3D on rails shooter like Rainbow Cotton, but it was on the SEGA Genesis so they had to use some pretty slick graphical trickery to make it feel 3D.
I'll still recommend you consider trying Little Kitty, Big City, though. It's a bit short, but still a neat unique experience.
You know about the new Picross S game from Jupiter, right? It features all Namco games and characters. It's like the SEGA one they had a couple of years ago, but Namco instead.
In my town, the Dragon Warrior cartoon came on at 4 in the morning so I wasn't going to get up for that.
One thing I forgot to mention that you brought up was when NBC stopped showing cartoons in favor of news and stuff. I remember when that happened. I got up in the morning to watch the Super Mario World cartoon and it wasn't on! Oh well, guess I'll just play the game instead. That's the reason why Garfield and Friends and Muppet Babies didn't have any seasons after that. Not due for a lack of popularity, that's for sure.
Good to hear from you again. My brother Jeff loved that DQ Builders game.
Yes Garfield and Friends is one of my top favorite Saturday Morning cartoons. Maybe in my top five. Maybe my number one favorite. I dunno. I can watch all the seasons of it on my Roku TV, so that's cool. Better than the new movie that just came out, although I didn't think it was as bad as everyone says it is.
I liked the TMNT arcade game more than the cartoon. But after playing the game and meeting the creators at a convention, I did watch the cartoon after that.
I never liked The Littles as a kid, but I have more respect for it now. It's one of those cartoons that has held up better than others. I think they even re-released it in the late 90s and early 2000s.
I knew about that stuff with David Seville and the Chipmunks, but I didn't feel like getting into it in the podcast. Not one of my better podcasts to be sure, but at least I got something out there.
One time in Elementary School as a kid, they had "dress up as your favorite cartoon character day,' but it wasn't Halloween. Two guy classmates and three girl classmates wanted to dress up as Alvin and the Chipmunks and the Chipettes. They asked me if I wanted to join them and dress up as Simon. I can't remember if I did or not, though. It was a long time ago!
Yeah those video game cartoons back then were awful, but we watched them anyway to get our fix, since that kind of stuff was hard to come by back then. Kids today don't know how good they have it!
