I swear this show invented a lot of what we now think of as "analog / internet / creepypasta vibe/aesthetic horror"

It was so unsettling. The farmhouse was unsettling, the relatively few glimpses we got of the outside world in town was unsettling.

And yet it was also hilarious. It was so satisfying when Courage would figure out the monster's weakness or lore, and go kick the crap out of it, or Muriel would ignorantly just whack it with a rolling pin and call it a day LOL.

Something only brilliant cartooning could achieve.

That show was SO GOOD.

I also remember the intro is absolutely awesome, and only recently learned it was a Beethoven composition. There was a neat Microsoft ad that used it too, and I was like "THAT'S THE STARSHIP TROOPERS INTRO!" lol

I noticed watching the DVDs that it felt oddly toned down in some places and not others, even when the plot would get serious.

Often their rifles sound really silly-space-lasery and they're aiming weirdly upwards instead of at their targets, for example.

I loved those early CG shows like this though. Heavy Gear, Voltron (before the excellent Netflix one), Beast Wars...I wonder if Max Steele was any good because I never watched that one for some reason...

FL*CL

That was a bizarre one. My friend was obsessed with it and I was so freaking confused...

The airsoft episode was a really fun time though hahaha.

...oh geeze didn't his grandpa dress as a nazi for that one or something? Man this is going back like 15+ years I just remember guitars getting pulled out of foreheads and flying irons and a weird live-action moped PoV outro...

I always thought it would be so damn fun getting an entire neighborhood in on an airsoft game though.

But I only watched it when that friend was over, because I always had at least one parent home and didn't feel like trying to answer "what the heck are you watching?" LOL

I most vividly remember the villains, of course.

• The big purple foot fungus mobsters. "eyyeah, see?"
• The evil barber "Nauuughtyyyyy"
• And of course, Rameses. "Returrrrn the slaaab"
• Special mention: Eustice. "Stupid dog!"

Such a good show though. The things he did for love.

I loved that show's premise and core message about confronting fear. He was always terrified and saved the day anyway.

I just wanted him to finally get a happy little dog existence lol...

What in the world LMAO.

I was like "Alright. It's about an inanimate (magical?) object to obviously sell a toy...WHY'S IT SPROUTING LIMBS AND A HEAD?!"

EDIT: THERE'S A PLAYLIST WITH FULL EPISODES

Why?! How?! LMAO

Great point. I'm a Savage Worlds fanguy myself, and gotta admit it handles these situations quite smoothly, albeit more generally so you add some specific flavor yourself. It has guidelines for how long things take to heal, or if they're permanent, all that good stuff, without pages and pages of specifics.

Running a random silly off-the-cuff game to share the system involved an angry monkey bartender who rolled ridiculously high on throwing a poo at one of my players causing a ruckus.

(A "ha-poo-ken!" , if you will...)

This caused a roll on the injury table. Oh did we have a laugh when the "injury location" conferred with the dice and came up "Unmentionables."

I do like reading through write-ups like these though, because it gives less experienced GMs like me a quick understanding model for gauging levels of severity in specific circumstances, even if I wouldn't be flipping through something like this during a game.

Lol yeah, there's no way!

...They already know Agent Krasnov throws a huge fit if he's told he has to share.

EDIT: argh, I know I didn't crop it. I gotta put all these on my computer so I can bulk-snip that exact number of pixels from each image lol...

Haha I have folks there! Lived there for a bit too! Between Okie and Cali, I think now I subconsciously adjust my twang to adapt to my surroundings. 😂

Isn't it insufferable? Agh!

I hope my version was at least sorta funny while making the point and highlighting a lot of those stupid tricks they use.

As evidenced by his preposterously plagiarized company naming schemes that obnoxiously demonstrate to the world how profoundly he missed the point of Lord of the Rings, by going team Mordor and thinking he's the hero. . .

When above all else, he desires power.

The only reason employers still do shit like this is because individuals either don’t realize that they can sue for it, or don’t realize that lawyers will take their case.

Is this one of those instances where the corporation can/will do stuff like deploy their lawyer army to tie up the victim and wait them out with expensive and time-wasting legal process...before offering them a $50 gift card to shut up and hold the company eternally blameless forevermore?
