Other Fandoms Besides Beast Wars

Dang, that quite a list of games. Yeah, I'm kind of a gamer too, and I'll admit that I really like RPGs. The most recent RPG that was I was kind of addicted to was Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King.

And I'll admit that I'm a Final Fantasy Fan. I like Final Fantasy 1, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 10-2, 12, Tatics, and Tatics Advanced. I didn't care much for 2 and the rest I haven't played yet.

Also I think I used to play a PC game called Jill of the Jungle.

Hey PeopleZ,

Jill? What ever happened to George?

Maybe he got stuck in a tree somewhere.

...Is this a "favorites" or "fandom" thread? 'Cause the only fandom I really participate in besides Transformers is X-Men: Evolution, though that's died down a lot recently since the series ended over 5 years ago. I still write fanfiction for it though (which is MUCH better than my TF series, IMHO).

If we're talking about just general TV/Video Game series, than:

Fav TV shows: King of the Hill, TF Animated... that's it, really. Don't like much of what's on the tube any more. Oh, I guess you can also add in Homestar Runner here, since it's sort of a show. (Especially Teen Girl Squad: "I HAVE A CRUSH ON EVERY BOY!" "OW, MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!"

Fav Video games (or series): Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon, Jak & Daxter, Ratchet & Clank, certain Mario and Sonic games, Grandia, Need for Speed, Burnout, Little Big Planet, Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People

you like spyro? which one? the newer one or the older one? I like the older one better. The newer Spyro's kind of....

I like X-men Evolution too. Can't believe I forgot that! *Slaps forehead* All this time I've been meaning to tell you,Beastbot,and I completely forgot. *Whacks self with sword* I only have the first three episodes on DVD though.

Everything else,I've looked up on the Web. I suppose I could watch them on YouTube though.

Ouch,Tor.

Oh well,I can completely understand why you would want someone who actualy reads the Harry Potter series to be you best friend on the Forum.

Part of the reason I've never read it is because my parents don't want me to read it. I wanted to read the books at first...but I changed my mind after a while,because the titles and covers kept getting darker and creepier.

Have you watched the new x-men cartoon? Wolverine and the X-Men? It's pretty good. The episodes are up on Youtube.

I like both, though I liked the older one better in terms of play mechanics. I like the direction they're taking with the new Spyro, though, making it a bit more serious and story-driven, like an old fantasy tale.

I'll give you that it's quite good in terms of plot. My problem with it is that they're throwing such ridiculous amount of Mutants at you-- has there been an episode yet where someone new was NOT introduced?-- there isn't adequate characterization for anyone except Wolverine, Xavier, and, more recently, Nightcrawler, Magneto & Quicksilver. I mean, here we are 10 episodes in and there's far too many of them for me to even keep track of anymore. Who are they going to have LEFT to introduce come Season 2? That's why W&tXM, while good, just doesn't connect for me nearly as much as Evo. Because if I don't care about the characters, that really takes away from any sense of urgency. It's one of those shows I'll make sure I watch every episode once and then just be satisfied with that.

Always good to see another Evo fan!

If you've watched (or read, in your case) the entire series, I'd invite you to take a peek at my currently ongoing Evo fanfiction series. I'm very proud of it, I think it's loads better than my TF fanfiction.

I'm not very fond of evo. Sure Scott Mcneil voices Logan but it doesn't seem like something I'd get into.. I like the older X-men series better. I mean they stayed true to the characters. Nightcrawler is supposed to be catholic!

well you're right about the over introductions of the characters but I don't pay much attention to that. I just really enjoy the plot.
And I'm just a dorky fangirl who had a crush on Logan when I was a kid. XD he looks hot in the new series, even with his gurrila arms. XD DON'T HURT ME!
I won't forgive Mystiqo(sp?) for kicking her own son in the last episode. Grrrr... Poor guy... I wonder.. am I the only person who thinks German accents are sexy?

On the German accents thing...no.

To be fair, the Evo writers (who are the same guys as the W&tXM writers, by the by) wanted to give Nightcrawler a religious side in Evo, but couldn't because Kids' WB has a stupid rule against any mention of religion. They couldn't even say the word "Christmas" in the series' holiday-themed episode.

They(WB) must have started that recently. In all their looney tunes christmas specials they say marry christmas and in their batman cartoon (not The Batman. I mean Batman The New Animated Series and the older one) they used the word Christmas and one of the batman characters in a church leader. Also in Batman Vs Dracula they have crosses.

Stupid WB!

Nightcrawler is my favorite Evo character!

Remember that Evo aired from 2000-2003, so they must have dropped doing that recently, apparently.

what about the older batman series I mentioned? the one from 1992 and onward.
