My first thought, too.

I mean, if you don't ask you don't get...

Thanks!

Haha oh man... Hunt down Samurai Jack, thank me later :)

haha no, just quizzical amusement. Airmail's pretty reliable. Besides, I hate email 🙃

Fair. At least he's dead now?

But yeah, for me it was all about Connelly's character - we're the same age, and I found Sarah extremely relatable. Also the movie features mazes, contact juggling, logic puzzles, perils unknown, and a giant robot. It was practically made for teenage me haha.

Cartoon on Cartoon Network about a boy genius with a lab he keeps secret from his parents and his extravert big sister, ran until 2003. Some of Tartakovsky's best work :)

(We recorded around a dozen sequences for each mission, which was just enough that most players didn't realise they were prerecorded)

FWIW, in a free-roaming city based game I was involved with back in the 90s, while vehicles that pursued you were computer controlled (as was the general background traffic), any that you had to pursue for a mission were recorded sequences of actions performed by human developers.

Interesting! In a sense, non-player-ai for early circuit racers with only a couple of vehicles on the track are displacing human opponents—but they do afford both single player games, and the existence of titles where two humans can race each other in the context of a full field of 20-40 opponents.

Haha no, just Twitter. Probably for the best really, today I was mostly just fighting with tories.

Speaking of references though, Dexter's Laboratory did a great Predator segment that went a little deeper than I realised on first viewing :)

Oh yes, T2 has been my favourite film of all time since its release (though Labyrinth comes close).

Oh man, so many. Old fart here was in highschool or uni for about a dozen that I either saw or had close friends who never shut up about, and looking back at his filmography now there were others from the same era I don't recognise at all.
