Saturday Supercade openingSaturday Supercade opening This is a real time capsule for kids of a certain age- I remember this clearly, and how every 80s toy had a cartoon too (Don’t forgt Rubik the Magic Cube!!). “Saturday Supercade” is not and probably never will be available on DVD or even VHS, and the fact that it was broadcast about 3 or 4 years before VCRs were commomplace means we will see very little of this show in any format… it occupies a strange place between nostalgic retro-mania and the common ability to capture mass media and resurrect it years later. Who knows if we’ll ever see this show again!
Mega Man X (SNES) - No-Hit Run - Part 1 of 6Mega Man X (SNES) - No-Hit Run - Part 1 of 6 At the time (when I was young), I tried not to get any sub-tanks or heart upgrades in the game and I managed to do it a couple of times. I mean if you get hit twice during the last bosses (in the Sigma Stages), you usually die instantly so it was a great challenge and I knew it required skills but I managed to do it a couple of times. After a while, I wanted to know how many hits I used to take before finishing the game. At first, I could finish the game and take around five to six hits in total. In the present day though, I decided to make it three hits, then two, then one and, finally, not taking any hits at all! I was trying to find the best route for the bosses to optimize the run. Not doing it for speed or anything, but for the weapons (boss weaknesses). It would at least help me defeat them with ease, thus not taking any hit from them. One time (a couple of days ago), when I was fighting Sting Chameleon, I had a flash! If I could get his weapon as soon as possible and get the triple-charged shot upgrade as well, it would probably help me even more! I tried a couple of routes but one thing was certain, I knew that Chill Penguin, Storm Eagle and Flame Mammoth were going to be the first three bosses I had to destroy. Chill Penguin for the dash upgrade, Storm Eagle for the helmet upgrade and Flame Mammoth for the triple-charged shot. Anyway, to get to Sting Chameleon as soon as possible and NOT GET HIT during the boss fight, I knew I needed something else: it’s weakness. That’s when I tried Boomer Kuwanger’s Stage right after Flame Mammoth’s. I used to get hit once in that stage but after a couple of tries I could finish it with ease. Now that really motivated me because Sting Chameleon would be a piece of cake now! After getting his weapon, I tried to find the best places to use it and with the triple-charged shot upgrade, it makes X invincible for a certain amount of time so the run would be much easier to do. So yeah… Enough talk for now and enjoy the show! I hope you guys will like the editing, it was painful… *stupid Windows Movie Maker making my computer restart every 10 minutes for no reason and Sony Vegas not responding most of the time* @_@ Here’s a little overview of every stages that appear in this part of the run, how they turned out and what were the objectives to do in each one for this run: - Opening Stage: This one wasn’t complicated at all. The only “hard” part was to memorize the spawning point (if you can say it like that) of those purple enemies at the end of the level. Other than that, I had to take damage from Vile in order to progress further in the game so yeah… - Chill Penguin Stage: This was the real beginning of this run. I had to take out those axe guys as fast as possible and I managed to dodge the spiked wheels too. The main goal here was to get to Dr. Light’s capsule. With the dash, it’s possible to dodge various bosses’ attacks and jump to other safe platforms in other levels. So with that new upgrade, I just dashed through the end of the level. One thing to look out for was the snowballs but I managed to dodge the ones that were coming at me and, obviously, I destroyed Chill Penguin.

DBZ - 001 - Arrival Of Raditz 2/3DBZ - 001 - Arrival Of Raditz 2/3 Goku and Piccolo, former enemies now with a common goal, team up and take on Raditz. During the course of the battle, an emotional Gohan displays immense but uncontrolled power and manages to damage the overwhelmingly strong Raditz enough to offer an opening to Goku and Piccolo. Raditz is defeated, but Goku is killed in the process. Piccolo explains to a dying Raditz, that his friends on Earth will use the Dragon Balls to resurrect Goku. Raditz reveals that he has been broadcasting their conversation to the other two remaining Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa, both much stronger than he, who will arrive in about a year’s time to take the Dragon Balls for themselves. To prepare for the arrival of the Saiyans, Piccolo takes Goku’s son, Gohan, under his wing with the goal of teaching him to harness his immense power. Goku is sent by Kami to train under Kaio in the afterlife until the Saiyans arrive. The remaining Z Fighters — Kuririn, Yamucha, Tenshinhan, and Chaozu — are trained by Kami. A year passes; the Z Fighters gather and Goku is resurrected with the Dragon Balls, but must still travel the one million kilometers of the Serpentine Road from Kaio’s planet to meet Kami and return to Earth; subsequently, he arrives several hours late. The Saiyans arrive on November 3, AD 762,[1] and meet the Z Fighters; they recognize Piccolo as a member of another alien species, the Namekians, and realize that another set of Dragon Balls must exist on the planet Namek. As the battle begins, Nappa plants six seeds from which sprout six Saibaimen to take on the Z Fighters. Yamucha is killed and an enraged Kuririn destroys all the Saibaimen in one fell swoop, but his attack has no effect on the Saiyans. In the ensuing battle against Nappa, Chaozu is killed in a suicidal gamble that does not pay off, and Tenshinhan dies trying to avenge his friend. Piccolo, once believed to be as purely evil as his forebear, sacrifices his own life to save Gohan’s; as a result, Kami, with whom he is intrinsically linked, is also killed, and the Dragon Balls he created disappear. Shortly later, Goku finally arrives, mere moments before Nappa was to kill Gohan. Goku was able to easily defeat Nappa, however when Vegeta orders Nappa to concede, Nappa attacks Kuririn and Gohan. In response Goku reveals a new technique, the Kaio-ken, and disables Nappa, who is then killed by Vegeta. Goku then fights Vegeta. Eventually, Vegeta transforms himself into an Oozaru. Gohan, Kuririn, and Yajirobe arrive to help Goku, and Yajirobe succeeds in cutting off Vegeta’s tail; ending his transformation. Vegeta, still too strong for the badly beaten Goku seems to have won until Gohan transforms into an Oozaru. Gohan’s rampage leaves Vegeta too badly injured to continue the battle. Defeated, Vegeta crawls into his space capsule and flees the battle.
