This went up on Saturday last week, but I never posted it on here. Here it is now. We follow up with our first podcast and talk about everything that happened with Nintendo Direct and more.

VGM of the #46

Hi, I'm late. Busy. School. Podcast. Friends. I'm the god damn Batman.

 

This track plays on the jaw-dropping title screen. It's really rare that somebody would say that about any title screen but Arkham City is just so slick. It does a good job of sounding like it could be from the Nolan films where Hans Zimmer would have produced it. I'm not afraid to admit that sometimes I leave the TV on with the game on the main menu just so I can listen to it playing in the background of my room. It makes me feel like the hero we deserve.

I'm Batman.

The 90's were the greatest time to enjoy cartoons

Alright, so I guess I need to have a post on this blog, too. The guys haven't been harassing me about it, but I know it's gonna bug me until I do.

People that know me in the real world know I'm a huge advocate for cartoons and animation. People that can't tell the difference between the two are the flavor of ignorant that I can't stand, but hopefully just addressing that should be enough. Anyways, on to where this blog is going. The AD cast is full of children of the 90's. The 90's are an interesting time when you look back on it; it was full of newer, simpler fashions and weeded out the garbage the 80's tried to carry. The decline of good music also started here; I'm not saying that 90's music sucked, but it wasn't as good as the classic rock we had in the 80's. I mean, the 90's gave us Boy Bands, a dark spot on all music, but it was also the high point of this kind of music. Sure, we look back and say, "my gosh, the Backstreet Boys were awful," but none of us are ashamed to know ALL THE WORDS to their songs.

But being a kid means one thing in particular: cartoons. We got a boatload of the best cartoons. We were given the gift of whole channels devoted to them! Nickelodeon  and Cartoon Network! And you can just LIST the good shows from childhood from here, but the best thing about the 90's was that there was a past to enjoy, too. So lemme just get you some numbers.
