Of course..... NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!

I played the base ball back in the day. Someone needs to make roms so can play on an emulator today

Absolutely awesome

I never understood how Michael was possible to use some of the tall man's abiltiys in the fourth part. Yes, the tall man surged the silver ball into Michael's head in the third part, but that is no plausible reason for me, why Michael is able to throw stones and boulders with his thoughts, can create a sphere and control it and how he can let the hearse explode, while the tall man stands next to it. Was that planned from the tall man? Or is it just unreasonable trash from the director?

I never knew! Sold plenty of Atari 130XE’s and of course C64s and Amigas back in 86 when I was in highschool. I had no idea there were so many model Ataris before the 130XE and that there were so many 2600 adapters to bring the game library to other early 80s consoles. Great video. Thanks for making it.

RIP Angus

I had Ganip Ganop and was disappointed when I found out it was not electronic.

I need one more

LOL Intellivion Amico. Millions taken in and nothing but a mustached man and cornhole to show for it.

Nothing legitimate comes out of Miami

This is 1 of the best episode

Seriously though, anyone with even a casual interest in retro gaming knows of Jay Miner and the CUSTOM TIA chip he designed for the Atari VCS..... how could anything think the Atari VCS didn't use any custom hardware?!? Seriously? The VCS was released in 1977 - what off the shelf, standard parts, were designed for a video game console to generate graphics and sound even EXISTED in 1977? "The Atari 2600 used off the shelf components" <---- is just embarrassing.

The reason it made it to air was because no one was still watching at this point 😂

The classic cars were awesome, the serial is fun, but he never used his shield, nothing about chemical genetic engineering, he was just a detective tough guy punching everyone, sad. I still love the old serials though.

Did you um... not show a Pokémon clip while mentioning it on purpose? :D

Old Soldiers was another awesome season 5 episode. I didn't mind The Fifth Horseman either honestly, but it still had its flaws.

Angus Scrimm and he's not Scottish? 🤯One of my all time favorite movies.

This is one of my favorite episodes. I notice that thinking ahead like sinister is vilified in cinema and tv. It’s rare to see fringe technology in a positive light. This episode did a great job of showing how sinister could have gone a different path if given the chance.

I loved this video and commentary, its my favorite burn from Norm and I've watched it countless times, I wish you'd just not cut in at 10:51, I felt it mess up the flow of his delivery, like if we were watching the death star trench run and just before the proton torpedo were launched someone paused the movie and was like 'hey everyone he's about to do the cool thing' then un pausing then explosions... it just didn't feel quite right, but that's just me and really really appreciate the amount of context you put at the start and end of the video, I had no idea about most of it :)

My older brothers used to read me their comics while babysitting me in the late 80s/ early 90s, so as I was becoming familiar with characters like the X-Men, Spider-Man, Avengers, etc. and when the 90s X-Men cartoon started running, I thought the Sentinels had always been prominently featured. I absolutely felt the pain of all the cool comics I'd see bagged and boarded at shops being out of my kid finances price range, I'd go through the quarter bins looking for books in decent condition to read. That's how I found out about Thundercats and He-Man comics. 4 to 5 quarter bin books versus one new book was the path I'd often take at the LCS's near me. When I got a little older and got an allowance, I started buying new books off the spinner racks more and more often. I don't know if you'd consider it a contributing factor to the rise of Sentinel popularity in the 90s, but the X-Men arcade game that came out in 1992 heavily featured them in multiple color schemes across it's levels. Great video, having fun going through your older vids. It's kind of like going through older comics at my LCS when I was a kid.

Amazing content

I wish that with the success of Xmen 97, they would just got back to season 5 and reanimate the poorly animated episodes and keep the same audio track and keep it 4:3 aspect ratio. Just so fits in and feels like soft transition point. That captain america and wolverine episode and this episode deserve it.

I loved this but do not remember it. I was watching X-men every day.

cool

It doesn’t call back to Frankenstein, it calls back to Burk and Hair from Edinburgh in Scotland, The famous grave robbers.

Man, Mrs Essex is unappreciative..

It’s Italian I believe Cos ca relli

Boyyy!!

My favorite artist of all time. LOVED his Tiger and Panther tank renderings. More iconic on Sgt. Rock than Kubert, to me....

Fun fact: Victor Frankenstein wasn't actually a doctor, he was a disgraced med student.

I tried to record all the Phantasms but it wouldn’t let me. My favorites ❤

Charles Darwin was found out to be a fraud in his own day. Why are we still teaching from his findings that were falsify

Darwin was debunked in his lifetime. fake History. Macro Evolution is not proven by Micro Evolusions and there were never any links. It wasn't even Darwin's theory; he inherited it. and Descent in genetic terms is really descending; the DNA is degrading over time, not advancing since the original man and woman.

Finding out that Mister Sinister is actually a distant ancestor of Jean Grey suddenly makes his actions in X-Men ‘97 WAAAAAAY creepier…

Darwin was absolutely aware of a double meaning of his use of the word "Descent" both in terms of "Descending from our ancestors" and also Humanity's "Descent" from thinking of ourselves as sacred dolls created in the likeness of a God to understanding ourselves as merely animals like any other living being on the planet. It seems pretty likely that he understood this and that it was deliberate.

1888 was Victorian not post she died in 1901.

Ooooh! I forgot about Auto Race!! I might have to hit Ebay and get all of my games back.. THX

Charles Darwin was actually a very large Christian. He wrote about many other things other then evolution

I recently rewatched the series as it's on Disney+, and I had never seen this one, but realized it was great. Really fleshed out Sinister without being cheesy.

That first Romita issue, #39 with the Green Goblin on the cover, was the first comic book I ever bought. I had thumbed through issues with Ditko's art before but they seemed crude and unappealing. As an adult I've come to appreciate Ditko's work, but I still prefer Romita.

Back in the days when people were not as delicate. We watched stuff like this and turned out just fine

I'm not sure how the other KZbinrs got it wrong. I'd always thought it was an out of court settlement of some kind. That belief only increased once I became a law student and did some IP law. I was aware that the Coleco Expansion Module used a reverse-engineered TIA so have no idea how anyone could think they had used off-the-shelf parts or that Coleco could win such a case. I know you don't want to hammer them too hard but this is just sloppy from them. Out of curiosity, I asked Chat GPT to see what it said. It got it right, meaning that the information was out there. As for the 5200. Wouldn't have been a simple job to make it backward compatible. They'd have to drop in the TIA somewhere and likely disable GTIA/Antic and the audio output from Pokey. But it was full of design flaws. We never got them over here in the UK, although I remember seeing them in mail order catalogues, so there seemed to be a plan to release them here. Quite simply, with just a couple of changes, they could have massively improved the chances of success of that console. The first was obviously to make it backward compatible with the 400/800. Moving the memory map around was one of the dumbest decisions any company ever made. If they wanted to make it more proprietary, to differentiate it from the computers, they could have, as they did, release different sized cartridges. That could have been used as a way of not just increasing revenue but to remove games that needed a keyboard from the library. The second thing they could have done was create expanded joystick ports that still mapped to the same memory locations. It would allow them to develop the more complex controllers that they did and, with a simple splitter, also allow them to plug in two existing single-button joysticks to the one joystick port. Atari had some great ideas but others were incredibly stupid.

Days gone by….

This episode was boring af
