Emulator fun! Futurama… wut?

Friday July 16, 2010 

After a nostalgic conversation, in TeamSpeak, about old video games we used to play as children, I decided I wanted to relive some of those memories. While I knew where my Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Color were, I didn’t know where most of my game cartridges were, so I thought I’d go grab an emulator. I’m glad I did! I forgot how much fun these games really are! So far I’ve downloaded a lot of the old Pokemon games (Emerald and Leaf Green are the ones I’m starting with, since I actually haven’t played them), Bomberman Tournemant, and Advance Wars 2 (Advance Wars 1 was awesome, haven’t played the second one yet). Definitely brings back memories of a simpler time.

Although, now I want to go download a bunch of other emulators for old consoles, and play all the old platformers I loved…

Futurama is one of my favourite shows. Up there with Firefly, Dollhouse, Chuck, and Top Gear. I was so massively dissapointed when I learned of it’s demise on Fox (like all good shows on that channel. Seriously, who the fuck is running the show there???). Over the years my mother collected the DVDs, and I’ve watched them several times. I’ve watched all of the movies, though they aren’t my favourite. When I heard that it was starting back up, I was thrilled! There have now been five episodes, each one more disappointing than the last. It has lost it’s satirical genius, and devolved into blatant attacks on various companies and products. It feels more like South Park, than Futurama. What happened to my beloved show? I will keep watching in the hope that they will revive the true Futurama again, but my hopes are no longer high.
