South Park Meets Dragonball Z
It’s possible to still find random, awesome things on the internet. It’s not just a cesspool of horror and AI and other nonsense. Sometimes, some crazy people like this DeDeDuck dude create a parody of South Park as Dragonball Z and it’s amazing.
This is good times. This gives me life and hope and joy. And I hope it does the same for you. There can still be creativity in this world. Good times.

There’s a New South Park Game?
I’m a huge fan of South Park, and a huge fan of the the recent South Park video games, The Stick of Truth and the Fractured But Whole. Those were amazing role-playing games, with some great character customization and storytelling, and just a wonderful use of the whole town. Well now there’s going to be a third and it looks totally different…but also still in line with it?
I just don’t know. The switch to 3D graphics is bugging me. Why change the absolutely perfect, show-accurate art style of the first two games? And now it’s a multi-player action game? Eeeeeh. Not a fan. But I suppose we’ll see. Maybe they’ll make another great game!
South Park: Snow Day comes out in March, possibly.

Starting Off a Monday With Some South Park Video Gaming
After a pretty busy week between trial coverage, a hospital stay, mailing the Gamer Girl & Vixen graphic novel and taking my parents to the train station super early Saturday morning, this is finally my week to just kick back and relax and get back to some normal routines. To that end, how about a lazy Monday morning where I just share a new trailer for South Park: The Fractured But Whole?
Yep, still can’t wait for this game to come out! And it looks like it’s coming out on Oct. 17! Neat.

My 6 Favorite Cartoons of All Time (This Week)
I have watched cartoons for my entire life. As a child in the 1980s, I was the perfect target for the glut of toy commercial cartoons that filled the airwaves (and now our movie screens). The ’90s saw not only the rise of Fox Kids and after school cartoons, but also the coming of The Simpsons and prime time animated entertainment. I sat through Nicktoons, Cartoon Network and Adult Swim, and now I’m basking in a golden age of smart, intelligent and often amazing cartoons like BoJack Horseman and Steven Universe.
So through all these long years, which ones are my all-time favorites?
Oh man, remember Dinosaucers?
By popular demand, I’ve finally sat down and figured out my six favorite cartoon shows of all time — at least for this week. This list is subject to change on a whim, but I think it’s pretty rooted in solid cartoon enjoyment. I had to dig deep on this one, and it pained me to cast some of my favorites into the ‘Honorable Mentions’ at the bottom. But these six are truly some of the greats.
For the sake of my sanity and memory, we’re sticking to television cartoon shows. There are plenty of animated movies and web cartoons that are genius, but we’ll save those for another day, perhaps. And please feel free to share your own favorites in the comments below!
My 6 Favorite Animated Movies of All Time (This Week)
I went and saw Kubo and the Two Strings last weekend, excited by the captivating trailers. It was a fine film and quite enjoyable, but not the epic adventure I was hoping to see. A student of art craft would probably love it a lot more, considering all the work that LAIKA studios put into the stop-motion animation. But I’m not very good at marveling at that sort of thing. I just enjoyed a nice movie.
Spoiler Alert: He actually has three strings
And seeing a quality animated film on the big screen has me wondering about all the animated films I’ve loved in the past! I’m a huge fan of cartoons and have watched so many in my lifetime that I’ve probably forgotten a few. Right now, BoJack Horseman and Steven Universe are probably the two best TV shows on the air. And films like Finding Dory and The Secret Lives of Pets are two of the hottest films of an otherwise disappointing summer. Loving cartoons is just who am I.
So join me after the jump for my six favorite cartoon movies of all time — at least right now. Whims and memories could change these at any moment! And feel free to share your own favorites in the comments.
