I've got an idea: instead of making The Shield (assuming you have seen that), Shawn Ryan (the creator of the Shield OTL) happens to see NYPD: Narcotics Squad and makes a series out of that?

That would be interesting...

Honestly, you know a lot more about Star Trek than we do, so if you'd like to give us some suggestions or write something up you'd be more than welcome to. :) Whatever you could come up with would probably be better than what we could come up with.

Oh right, ST: Insurrection came out in '99, I'd forgotten. :eek: (hell, the kid from that movie would've made a better Anakin Skywalker than Jake Lloyd!) My recommendation would be a Dominion War movie explaining where the Enterprise was, and what they were doing during the war. I think they might've been name-dropped on DS9 occasionally, but to actually see it would've been cool. Plus you figure Paramount would want something really epic to try and counter Star Wars.

As far as the future of the franchise goes, my dream-come-true would be to let Voyager finish, give the TV end of things rest for a couple years, then do another 1, 2, punch with a TV series based on Peter David's Star Trek: New Frontier novels, and a Capt. Riker Star Trek: Titan series (because I may be in the minority that actually liked ST: Nemesis).

*As tanks are positioned on the screen, one of them is selected, and a battle begins, with three friendly tanks up against seven enemy tanks, marked on the battlefield by red arrows.*

 Spoony: *imitating a gruff general voice* Gentlemen, we're going into battle yet again. I know most of ya are crappin' in your drawers right about now. I know most of ya are only here because you couldn't cut it in Squad Four. We're hungry and we're desperate. But these are the times that try men's souls.

 *On the screen, the player's tank makes its way toward one of the arrows, accompanied by the other two tanks, controlled by the AI. As the players' tanks move, three of the enemy tanks come up from the sides.*

Spoony: We're outnumbered four to three. It's time to deploy the secret weapon.
*On the screen, the player's tank is armed with a missile.*

Spoony: *breaking character for a moment* In this game, you're pretty much required to go out of your way to find these weapons depots on the map, because if you don't find 'em, you won't have enough missiles to survive these fights. If you're outnumbered, and you don't have enough items to even things up, you're pretty well fucked. That, on top of it being a pain in the ass to actually get to the weapons depots, AND the fact that there are usually enemies waiting for you there, makes certain maps in this game a monumental pain in the ass to complete.

*The missile blows up a pair of enemy tanks, while one of the other enemy tanks fires a shot into the side of one of the AI tanks, knocking out about half its health.*

Spoony: *returning to character* Men, I long for the simpler days when we got a mission, dropped down to the planet, and kicked ass. We were truly a “super squadron” then, and, in the most critical of dawns, we achieved victory and had fun doing it. Now we have to do things like plan ahead, and position our tanks carefully, and *one of the AI tanks blows up and he breaks character again* and what the hell, that guy wasn't anywhere NEAR me! Guys, I'm just about done with this shit. See, this is what happens when companies try to add things to games that don't need them. Giant robots in Final Fantasy? That was damn awesome and a big reason why Final Fantasy VIII is the best Final Fantasy ever. Tactical RPG elements in a tank battling game? No! No! Bad Nintendo! It would be like if, in Squad Four: Rebellion, before you got to fight anybody, they made you play a dumb board game where you had to move Shad and Lane behind the guards, without dropping the soap in the showers. Because here, if you don't move your tanks the right way, you are just done for. Even if you can't see the fucking enemy tanks!

-from the January 18, 2010 episode of The Spoony Experiment, “X: Tactics”

A. Is it weird I read the Spoony part in Spoony's voice?

Well, as the saying here goes: The Butterflies giveth, and The Butterflies taketh away. :(
Maybe he did it just we'd stop asking about the Foo Fighters? :p

I recently thought of a good alternate casting to Anakin young and older. Dave and James Franco...

Maybe Ry just killed Dave Grohl so we will stop asking. Sorry Dave I love you and all but I would rather have Kurt. :D

Ummm or a Sequel Instead, LAPD: The Shield?(Author Note: Teasing just wait for the game to be released).

Jejejeje your theories...Stay Tuned next chapter ;)

I wonder when the Batman films are going to transition Dick Grayson from Robin to Nightwing. Leonardo DiCaprio, if he's still in for the next movie, is in his early-to-mid twenties at the present. I doubt he'd want to remain "Boy Wonder" for the next film.

We'll see how things go in Batman Triumphant...

And I'm hoping to post the pop culture update on Monday, so if anyone has any more suggestions before then, let us know!

Oh another thing I'd like to see addressed is the state of Kamen Rider in TTL. In OTL, Toei announced Kuuga this month and I'd like to see if Sega and Saban can work out a deall to bring it over to the states.

I'm still slogging through this, but my word, this is awesome. Even though I am an avid PC Gamer, I can't help but find this thread awesome by the simple virture of the AVGN series existing TTL. :D

That being said, I don't know yet how Microsoft will turn out, but as someone who is still bummed by the second Crimson Skies game never being released for PC, I can't help but wonder what happens to that Franchise. The PC game is one of the few instances where I prefer the localized German version over the original.

Dieselpunk FTW!

I couldn't agree more. Kamen Rider is hands down my favorite Tokusatsu series. With Saban not bringing Black RX over as Masked Rider, the beginning of the Heisei Era of Riders seems like the perfect time to bring the series to the states. I am somewhat sad since most of my favorite Rider's were from more recent series, and as such suffer from an increasing risk of being butterflied away, but that's just how AH works. I'd gladly lose a few riders if it meant that the series comes to the states relatively unaltered.
 

RySenkari

I'm gonna be honest, Kamen Rider probably won't be coming over ITTL :( I don't really know enough about it and in addition, Fox Kids (even with Tamagotchi, the new X-Men cartoon, and a stronger Power Rangers) has probably peaked (more on that in the pop culture update).

It's not a DEFINITE no, but right now it's looking unlikely.

Thanks for reading! I've been trying to make more of an effort on PC games since there are some outstanding ones that came out around this time ITTL. I do know that a certain adventure game that came out in 1999 (at least in one country) will be making a somewhat bigger appearance in TTL's 1999 thanks to a timely investment by Sony, more on that in the July 1999 update...

Have you considered SEGA branching out into developing PC games? It would be a second leg to stand on and show off just what the company can do.

OTL Sega did ported some games for PC...but nobody care, but retroactivelly that helped Sega to got own port their games for later.

Sega and PC...for now would not be, they still need to support both Arcade and their consoles, plus like otl, japan is not that friendly to PC except for visual novels/adventure games and some online games, plus sega need any game they need in their consoles.

Fair enough, but as a bit of a SEGA-on-PC fanboy, it's something I'd like you to keep in mind.

That said, how big, compared to OTL, are Video cames in 1999?
