Many loved her, many hated her, she became an icon from the 2000's and now she's the throwback Thursday on today's tune of the day backing in time over 10 years ago:

And here we are! 50th tracks chosen, any favorite yet? Thank you all for the support for reaching this milestone! If this was a music radio show this meant a very special radio episode live for public (Specially those weekly radio shows).

Fun video about Team Sonic Racing that shows barely anything of Team Sonic Racing.
I suspect there'll be an upcoming video showing off the game itself.

Finally looked in on that Project Hero that's been mentioned a few times round here.
I'm impressed. The level of animation detail is something we haven't seen in a main game for ages, and the physics and individual movesets look as though they've seen a lot of work.
The only thing that remains to be seen - how good the creator is at creating levels.

Forgot to shoot out a status - Motobug will be streaming the Mario Maker stream tonight at 6pm EST/11pm GMT.

Ooh, as part of a project in one of my classes, we're to do a project of our own, based off what we want to do.
Things have lined up that I could possibly be making my own animated short film. I mean, it won't be much, as I'm working individually, but it'll be a first for me.

Got lots of money, a great cake but most importantly, lots of love from my family and all of you.
Thank you for making this a great 20th year. Wouldn't exchange it for the world.

It is really fun/intriguing when designing concepts behind the race of fantasy characters. For example when designing the idea for a race based after a life creature it is very interesting trying to take real aspects of that creature including the life style/culture while giving the race the same intelligence as people.
As a farther example take the idea of a fantasy race based on ants or bees. The obvious place where you start is make a kingdom with a female monarchy only. Next a thought might be for the males to make up less then 10% of the race with the exact number depending on how far you want it to actually resemble the real insects. Going with ants for the idea the next step could be to make them expert resource hunters and hoarders. And the next idea for bees could be to make them a very industrial race where they build everything themselves.
Those are just some basic beginning ideas… there is so much stuff worth thinking about when making fantasy races and I find it all super entertaining.

A bit late today 'cause it was a very atypical day for me. By the way, May 4th be with you, happy Star Wars day!

Second round! You can tell when my arms started to get tired.

I wish Diary of a Wimpy Kid could get an animated movie in the same vain of the Captain Underpants movies. The first three live action films were decent enough, but the animation bits were always the best parts IMO.

CLONE WARS IS HYYYYPE

One of my mom's coworkers gave me this as a congratulations for getting into my University of choice!

Woo! That was a trailer and that was a panel. I knew Anthony Daniels would steal the show with any panel he was on, and he's proven it once again. So many chills.
The Star Wars Show stage of Celebration is also looking pretty cool this year.

We might be getting a reveal of the new LEGO Star Wars games considering there's someone from TT Games at this 20th of LEGO Star Wars panel and someone from LucasFilm Games.

Star Wars Celebration is almost upon us. Friday to Monday sees a lot of Star Wars content coming, including the return of The Clone Wars and the live action show The Mandalorian.

Did you know that Darth Maul and Wolverine were in a game together before the Disney purchase?

Finished my rewatch of Shrek 2, 3 and 4.
Here's a quick rundown: 
Shrek 2: Absolute masterpiece. So many of the jokes land complete bullseyes, the satire is great, and ties into the world brilliantly, it builds upon the structure of the original movie incredibly well, and features a lesson told so well that I believe everyone should see this movie because of how important this lesson is. It is a marvel of a sequel.
Shrek the Third: Lame movie, lame characters, lame emotional moments, lame plot compared to the second movie, and absolutely dreadful message. Shrek 2 tells it's lesson masterfully without being too on the nose, and doing so through the characters, their emotions, and arcs. Shrek 3 has none of it til the tail end til Artie gets on a soapbox and says why the villains should be good guys, even though it wasn't built up for the rest of the movie. Has some really good lines and gags though.
Shrek Forever After: Pitifully underrated. A fantastic sequel that takes a lot of new risks, similar to Shrek 2, explores some pretty decent ideas, has a couple of good gags, and is a very good conclusion to Shrek's overall character arc.

Shrek the Third might be overall a bad movie, but ngl, it has a good few lines and gags that are getting laughs from me.

I watched Shrek Forever After for the first time in years right after rewatching Shrek 2 and...I’m not gonna lie, it’s a lot better than I remember, especially since I’m older and can understand a lot more of the horrifying implications and adult fear that Shrek has to go through. When you’re like 12, and see Shrek cry at his daughter being non existent, it’s sad sure, but when you’re older, able to understand character arcs and motivations a lot more, and understand this is the one and only time he has ever done this in the franchise, despite how much shit he had to go through in Shrek 2, it hits you just how depressing it is.
