Hmm... What if instead of beating Mobile Suit Gundam Wing into the ground over the space of three years, Cartoon Network manages to get Sunrise to let them dub After War Gundam X, which becomes such a big hit that Sunrise lets Cartoon Network buy the unfilmed eleven episode scripts towards the...

Hmm... Does this mean we get an Amiga TTL with fully scalar sprite, BOB, and tile functionality, a Yamaha YM 2151, and a full 16 channel, 31,250 Hz. SegaPCM instead of PAULA? If we get what is effectively the Out Run arcade hardware in computer form, running Kickstart+Workbench, it's going to...

Rare and Nintendo's first development joint venture was Baloon Fight, a Joust clone, in 1984. Neither Nintendo nor Sega had consoles fore sale in Europe at the time. Butterflying that project in a different direction that leads to partnership with Sega plausibly is going to take a lot of thought.

Also, I'm pretty certain  Asteroids featured a 6502 as its CPU OTL.

I find these sales numbers for certain arcade games to be somewhat... improbable. Consider that the world's bestselling pinball machine, The Addams Family by Data East, only sold Ca. 15,000 machines in its first run. Atari's TTL sales numbers in particular should propell it into the Fortune...

Not certain how that would change things, considering that HIV-1 was a Chimpanzee virus and HIV-2 jumped species from the pet trade in smaller Macaques that was an artifact of habitat destruction in the Niger River basin. The biggest issue is the bushmeat trade. Is there any way to steer it...

Well, I suppose that's a logical development after a previous Disney animated film riffing on the Popol Vuh...

Mel Gibson also has an Australian passport, and had since before the POD.

So Cap sounds like Bugs Bunny? Instead of facepalming and shaking my head, l would be screaming with laughter and slapping my knee. This sounds like the most comedic mistcasting concept since Jean-Claude van Damme, John Candy, or John Belushi as Wolverine, Eddie Murphy as Black Lightning, or...

Well, we have little barley, wild rice, and sea oats as available domesticable grain crops, with corn (maize), ammaranth, chia, and quinoa coming in later.

That he's proveably not Kshatrya will be discovered and disseminated sooner rather than later. Unless he converts to Islam, he has no legitimacy in North India, and if he does, he unites almost all of his coalition against him.

I thought the R&D venture to develop the Sentinels would be called "Project Wideawake." Since Robert Downey Jr. was already Supes, not to mention being too dead take on any roles now, I'm going out on a limb and guessing that Tony Stark will be Timothy Daly, who looked just like the usual...

Actually, what I mean is that with Getter Robo already on this side of the pond in a way that isn't part of the Marvel Universe (with Tony Stark injected into the place of Professor Saotome), the other Late Seventies Marvel Anime, uh, "Acquisitions," either don't happen, or else happen with...

Hmm... If Warner Bros. does enter into an agreement with Toei, and Mazinger Z is among the properties hopping a boat to the U.S. as a result, this could cause ripples down the road... With Warner Bros. Toei's partner in the U.S., Great Mazinger and Getter Robo won't be far behind, which means...

Frankly, the story of Br'er Rabbit always felt mismatched to a log flume or a splash coaster. Not that The Princess and the Frog is that much better. The Louisiana Bayou country is flat as a pancake, if you don't count the trees themselves. A long drop, unless it's into the New Orleans...
