Hmm...well I see your Fire and Ice with Heavy Metal

And while I don't have any one thing that can match something of the magnitude of Wizards I'll raise you Captain N and HR Puffnstuff

Holy shit, Captain N! I still can't tell if it's Epic Win or Epic Fail.

Hahah, Agro was awesome.

WOw, I can't believe I watched that show as a kid. The intro brings back memories.

It was awesome. Apparently it even reached our Norse friends, who also considered it to be awesome.

Those were the days.

On a totally unrelated note, whoever designed the Zoanthrope ("herp de derp, let's make it out of heavy metal, with a tiny part of it actually attached to the base, and very tall (and thus wobbly), with a huge section at the top, unbalanced so as to tip over backwards.") needs to be trampled under the company elephant.

I already had to weigh down the bases of my Seraphim, and have a Penitent Engine lying in pieces because nothing short of an arc welder will cause it to actually stay together (oh, it's tempting. Might try soldering, actually), by Saint Katherine's golden tits I hate the design of some of these minis.

You know what SuperHuman Samurai Syber Squad reminds me of? This.

There's this one show I'm thinking of that I can't remember the title, made in the 90s, live action, some kind of alternate dimension these teenagers were sucked into that was mid-evil and ruled by these people with magic armor/suits that looked like oddly colored scalemail and when they rubbed their wrist things together they could throw explosive energy blasts. Later in the show when the kids get home one of the evil rulers, a red haired woman in her thirties or early forties, follows them out and tricks one of the boys' fathers into inventing an improved version of the armor that also lets you fly.

Mystic knights of tir na nog?

Calibron · Post by **Calibron** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 1:50 pm

No, the show I'm thinking of is less cool and far less Celtic.

You are thinking of Spellbinder series one and two, an Australian Polish co production.

Edit: series 2 is an Australian, Polish AND Chinese co production.

Calibron · Post by **Calibron** » Sun Jan 11, 2009 9:16 pm

Yup, that's it, though I don't remember the spaceship for some reason. Seems like the odd bit of anachronism that'd stick with you.

OK, so I've been banned from 4chan. Again.

This time it's weird. I can view the text-only boards (and post there) as well as look at /d/ among a scant few others but can't post in any image board.
All others, such as /tg/, redirect to /z/.

http://img.4chan.org/z/imgboard.html [WARNING: According to some browsers might actually appear as a very Not Safe For Work image]

... which says

The page isn't redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

I can't see what the page is meant to be. Does it load for anyone?
Not even getting a banned warning.

Moot was emailed. I doubt it will end soon.

Reason for ban: attempting to prevent a "Jim Profit" troll from getting his way.
Maybe it's the real thing, maybe not, but looked genuine.
He warned of 'counter-banning' anyone that insulted him.
Stupid me, told him that he was reported. That was the last thing I saw.

Lesson learned: never report on 4chan. NEVER. REPORT.

You need an NSFW on that link, sig.

I scarred my eyes. I didn't even look at it the first time and my wife in her curiosity made me look at it. you should know by now that any 4chan image possibly can be NSFW.

I'll show you what I see.

It's not even the weird ban that pisses me off, but the fact that a fucking TROLL reported me. And it worked.
I don't even know if that douche is gone! What's the point??
It's just like the American legal system. "Let someone else do it, I don't want to risk it". Jeez...

Cynic · Post by **Cynic** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 4:01 am

I see bees on genitalia.

Yes...

NSFW please.

Ah. Someone had mentioned "beecock ban" and I didn't have a clue what they meant.
Also, done.

Bigode · Post by **Bigode** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 4:12 am

For safety, Cynic, add it to the quote of the link as well. Though I'd tell people to "just mentally add 'NSFW' to everything from 4chan you ever see".

I visited that place briefly and it cost me SAN points.
No, I'm not clicking on your perfidious link, Sig. What is it with you and NSFW links lately?

Speaking of NSFW (if only barely.)

http://eeknight.livejournal.com/334981.html

After Gygax died, Stumbleupon popped this up. It's a bunch of gaming Demotivators interspersed with a tribute to Gygax. Beware, there is the occasional skimpily-clad person there.

And you might recognize some of these from me putting them up in a post on here, when I figured they fit.

Oh, you mean one earlier about the Cumsprite, and this mysterious link I've pasted recently yet can't view with my own eyes?
That's 2.. and not exactly a trend.

CURRENT STATUS:

* www > UP
* orz : tmp > DOWN?
* zip : bin > DOWN
* img : dat > DOWN
* cgi : nov > DOWN
* rs > UP
* dis > UP

If anyone could tell me what the hell this means it might help.
This is the 4chan status page. http://status.4chan.org/
Banned at the IP level maybe... but the last few times I was still able to see a "you are banned" page. Fuckingfuckshit.

Koumei · Post by **Koumei** » Mon Jan 12, 2009 8:45 am

4chan has been largely down, lately. You might not even be banned, it could just be the servers going to hell.

That thread had some pretty decent ideas for the first 10-ish pages and then it went into retarded vomit.

Damn you for making me waste three hours on that thread.

But I am definitely interested in the idea of a Edgar Rice Burrough's pulp style being used for Mario.

I'll second the idea of running it.
