    Megaman Legends 3

    Our boy is still stranded on the moon!

    Worst thing is that they had a nearly complete demo of it for the 3DS, and released some video of the demo and testing stuff in-engine during development, then like a day before it was supposed to drop they cancelled the whole damn thing because supposedly not enough fans participated in their fan forums/events.

    They could have at least released the damn demo! It was already finished! Would have cost them fucking NOTHING.

    And then the series creator Inafune fumbled making a spiritual sequel to Megaman when he Kickstarted Mighty No.9, so when he tried to Kickstart Red Ash as one for Legends it failed to meet the goal.

    Still frustrates me.

    I’m very disappointed by the lack of ‘The Middleman’ here. A very fun show with a very spunky Natalie Morales. Based on the graphic novels by Javier Grillo-Marxuach and Les McClaine, but the best part was that Javier Grillo-Marxuach was the show runner so it really didn’t lose that crazy fun factor of comic books nuttiness. Seriously rock eating aliens, zombie flying fish, boy bands trying to take over the world. It only got 12 Episodes and it’s still got 100% on rotten tomatoes and even over an 8 on IMDb.

      Oh, I didn’t know they changed it. Haven’t had it since I was a kid. That sucks. Seems like everyone giving bad reviews on it. It was the only non-sugar cereal that tasted good dry.

          Honeynut yes, reg no. But I used to have acid reflux as a kid so I would fill OG special K into baggies and take them to school. Helped a lot. Special K tasted sugary even though they didn’t coat it in sugar, regular Cheerios didn’t.

            Made me think of the multi grain Cheerios that sound like they are supposed to be healthy but straight up taste sweet like honey nut

        What they did was perfect, and there’s no way they could have just added stuff and had it be the show it was. They stuck to the vision and nailed the fuck out of it.

        But I could also sit and watch a lot of episodes of reboots 2-5000 or whatever. The chemistry of that cast playing those characters with that writing was all magic.

      Man, that show was so likable, but I could never get over the pro-Confederate vibes, even with all the staff denials.

      Call me crazy, but if I was going to bring back a series doomed by its association with Joss Whedon I’d give The Nevers another shot. I thought it was fun and then the Whedon thing happened and Covid happened and people seem to just have agreed it wasn’t worth it and gone home.

      As long as we’re on cancelled sci-fi shows, Babylon 5 spinoffs. The entire setting is more or less dead and it hurts.

      (Yes, I know about The Road Home. It’s not the same.)

        If they did another series they could do it without rebooting, just a different set of characters in the same ‘verse. Maybe meeting the originals at various times.

          I have zero interest in that either. Those specific characters were the whole appeal to that show.

      The title has two questions and this one only fits one of them.

      Wish wasn’t cancelled, yes!

      Wish they brought it back? No, it was a long time ago, and they made Serenity to close off the story and tie things up. It’s likely that bringing it back would do more harm than good.

      Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.

      Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?

      That show ended way too soon.

    Lays had some chocolate covered potato chips that would come out around the holidays. I didn’t care for them myself, but my wife loved them and I miss buying them for her

    Miiverse on the Wii U. Every games felt like a community. You could share tips, screenshots, etc… some games even had integrations like chat bubbles in Mario Maker. I always went out of my way to pick up a message in a bottle in Windwaker.

    When they shut it down, the console main screen felt VERY empty and each players, very alone (You can spare the jokes about how we were alone anyway since it didn’t sell well)
