Not quite, but inspiration towards 50s but modern, Stargirl has a little of that vibe. The household appliances and such are retro. The feel of the heroes and their gimmicks are older school (they even bring up the magic green lantern vs the ring as an easter egg).
I am late to the part for the Tales From Arcadia collections of animated series, but I sure did love 3Below. Now I'm watching Trollhunters, which I know is going backwards, and I'm super looking forward to Wizards, the third and final installment.
Trollhunters is awesome. I didn't think they were going to be able to match it with 3Below, and in some ways, it felt more rushed than TH, but it was still very good. I also look forward to Wizards.
They both are good series, I figure in part the switch from Troll Hunters to 3Below was due to the tragedy of Anton Yelchin, Emilie Hirsch did a good job filling in but Anton really captured the essence of Jim. On a side note though, I enjoy most off Guillermo's work.
@Auspice This series is good, I had to dig up Melanie's attach scene from The Birds so my daughter's got the one girls Halloween costume thing.
@ZombieGenesis said in Good TV:
I read yesterday that Comedy Central is bringing back Bevis and Butt-Head too. If I'm being honest, however, I don't see how either can exist in the modern world.
This was already done, and it was called The Big Bang Theory.
Huh. Huh uh .. huh huh huh.

Anyone good at Ares wiki design/setup? Willing to pay if needed.
Check on Ares discord, a lot of folks there have delved there css/inspected the elements to know what to do in the css. Someone may be willing there too.
My daughter got me going on the Lunar Chronicles (sci-fi reimagining of traditional fairy tales). Its pretty good even if intended for a younger audience. Similar to a place we tried to run a few years back that never caught on (fairy tales in space).
@Pandora said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:
This is a great hobby plagued by some massive problems.
So, basically its sort of like real life?
Arise and all that.
The Enchanted Fantasy MU is going to need more time than I can give it. Me and my fellow staffer just want to RP. I usually don't advertise overly much on places I want to play on that I've opened (Calaveras and Coral Springs).
We are focusing on less jump the shark drama and more local, emphasis on PRP and personal stories versus city-wide meta dramas. Staff will run influential families and drive some drama that way. We're avoiding lots of ex-military, federal agents, stereotypical high level crime lords, and former assassins turned professor. Closer to The Ranch maybe (maybe less crime drama than that storyline with the drug dealer and his brother).
Low key, modern drama. No need to log in to stay in the mix of things, to do reports, actions, etc. One can come in weekly/monthly/whatever and play at their leisure.
I'm around most mornings to afternoons, CST, and Friday evenings, my main RP times, and some evenings just for questions as needed. We are PennMUSH, we have @Ixokai's logger code, we use the PennMUSH websocket functionality and @grapenut's JS so folks can join and play through their browser. It's not fancy like Ares, but folks can easily reproduce the ability to slowly RP scenes with a logger and such. We're just aiming for casual.
We like grids, we still have the six hidden rooms and are adding more with bonus XP if you find one of the now seven rooms or the hidden exits. Exiting all rooms with 'O' from any location goes to town center (and then the starting train station) to help so no one gets lost.
We've had a few visitors who started making some PCs, so thought we'd go public for anyone interested. Our focus is safe community environment to explore adult drama storytelling, not a 'game' and not police drama or combat.
New website: http://granja.wikidot.com - original is still there to keep the history (http://calaveras.wikidot.com), Same address and port: 71.171.93.80:1510
Folks are welcome to come, talk with Walker and myself, Morgan, we'll be glad to RP with you. Folks can start their own PRPs and such within theme, folks interested in staffing some of the other influential families and running stories for others are welcome to contact us and we'll work something out.
@Ganymede said in It's where you putcher weed ...:
Take one of these:
Ain't gonna lie, when I saw the gas can I was assuming a sturdier, larger gravity bong.
I once had a friend pull this out of his garage to throw away:
An exacto knife, longer tubes and some epoxy cause I wasn't hip to glue guns. His hand held the bowl/stem.
Now the skit will be in my mind all night thanks for the thread title.
@reversed said in MU* Gripes and Peeves:
whoops now I know how my character liked kindergarten!
If you used this thread for a little bg help, the character liked kindergarten, enjoyed glueing and all, Teletubbies was all the rage with no words and bright colors, then the first time they smoked the ganja, Teletubbies had all new meaning and became all the rage, again.
@krmbm said in Welcome to the Euphoria!:
Going to recommend the Ares forum. @faraday is super-cool about helping.
Go to the discord too, a lot of folks have delved the elements of css and may already know what just what to do in the custom css. ETA: Ares discord that is.
I'll jump on the bandwagon, this She Ra is pretty awesome. I'm a Seahawk fan, 'I am I aaaam'.
Also Stargirl premiere was great. Glad it was pointed out it's on CW, cause now I know the other reason I was considering DCU will be on CW as well. Swamp thing, but for Blue Devil.
Beastmaster is such a literally masterpiece of film up there with the Odessy and Don Quixote. My preteen self mailed it that this was a genre work at the top of its time and this holds up today. Marc Singd and Rip Torns finest hours. It's a classic for the shelf alongside Circle of Iron.
Back when a b-movie was just low budget and not the next attempt at making The Toxic Avenger complete with excess gore and some gratuitous naked people.
@SuperiorHuron said in MUSIC:
Pressure is probably one of my favorites. As soon as it starts, you instantly KNOW what it is.
Stop, calibrate and listen ...
I'll listen to anything. Ramones are my all time favorite. Seen them a few times, have all their American vinyls and all the UK b-sides. Been listening to Claudie Mackula for inspiration on the new place
@The-Sands said in Good TV:
@Lotherio Stargirl is being broadcast on CW as well.
Joyous fraptious day I'll did around to find it now. Thanks.
@Auspice said in Fantasy Avatar Generator:
Ephrath
Ephriam approves of this name (and yes for the billionth time it's spelled i before a on purpose, space nobles aren't using biblical names).
Stargirl.
Nuff said.
Not quite.
The movie released on Disney Plus (then I concur, I loved that one), or the series on DC universe (which I don't have and is one of the few reasons I'd consider getting dcu)?
@silverfox said in Books...Books...Books....:
There is nothing wrong with rereading. You never catch everything the first time.
I'm on 7th complete reread of original Dune books ( every two to five years I do another). I've read Dune through God Emperor many more times. I'm on Chapterhouse. Miles Teg is one of my favorites. I'm very much into the last three (I'm not into anything done after Frank). I'd jam on a space supers mu based on the myriad of talents in the line of Atriedes in the time of the Honored Matress.
