Thundercats (DS)
Posted on November 1st, 2012 by
As a child of the 80’s, most of the cartoons I watched as a kid had toys tied in with them. So basically we were watching 30 minute commercials back then. Girls had Strawberry Shortcake, My Little Pony, and Care Bears. Boys had stuff like Transformers and He-Man. If any of these currently sound familiar, it’s because they’re still around today, in new forms for younger generations to enjoy. There were many other 80’s toy and cartoon lines that didn’t quite reach the notoriety of stuff like Transformers, but some got real close. One of those that rode the coattails of the popularity and themes of He-Man was Thundercats. I was never into Thundercats myself (I was more of a Transformers man), but I do remember the old cartoon and many of the kids in my third grade class had Thundercats lunchboxes that year. Now, Cartoon Network has an updated remake of the Thundercats cartoon, and you can enjoy all the adventures of Lion-O and friends on the Nintendo DS.

Cary’s Super Bowl Commercial Party!
Posted on February 6th, 2012 by
Well it’s time once again to give my play by play of the Super Bowl…commercials. I love commercials! And not just ones on the Super Bowl, they fascinate me on regular TV, too. Always have. When I was a kid, the Christmas commercials they played during the Macy’s Parade always put me in the spirit. And the only reason why I watched that dumb American Gladiators show back in the 90’s was because it was sponsored by Nintendo, and I wanted to see the newest SNES ads. So let’s see what commercials I liked at this year’s game!
