\nThe Bomberman shrine<\/a> sprayed a bunch of stuff\u00a0 all over the place, mostly unfinished pages, but there’s some notable content like a translated interview<\/a>!
\nI’m afraid Scans & Bits<\/a> is my new jam for content-light research-heavy updates! There’s new pages for Comic Bom Bom (with Ganbare Goemon, Sly Cooper and Dr. Mario scans), CoroCoro Comic (Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Sonic the Hedgehog and assorted 4-koma), Shogakukan Learning Magazine (Super Mario Kun and Famicom Manga for Mario, Zelda 2 and The Goonies), Fami2Comic (Rockman ZX Advent and the rest of Go! Go! Mario Kart), and Dengeki Nintendo DS (Animal Crossing, Sonic the Hedgehog #6, #24 and #38), and English translations for the Star Fox Super Capture Guide, Wai Wai Wario and Klonoa manga courtesy of MiloScat, ReasonablePerson and Moonpie!).
\nPhew!<\/p>\n
I keep writing drafts for subjects to waffle about in blog posts just to give a little value for money, and every time I’m totally dry. Whatever thoughts I have are barely enough to fill <\/a>a<\/a> tweet<\/a> these days. I don’t think it says much for my imagination when the one thing I’m confident to write about on the blog is… chewing out older blog posts I made!<\/p>\n Ages and ages and ages ago I made some comment<\/a> about Dino Babies<\/i>, under the mistaken belief there were a couple of foul-named dinosaurs in an otherwise innocuous kids’ show. And I quote! As luck would have it, there’s actually a fair bit of Dino Babies<\/i> on YouTube now (there was a comparative dearth of it six years ago, at least of the English version!)<\/span>, and that very episode is on there. At six minutes into Jurassic Ark<\/a><\/i> the two characters walk in and immediately introduce themselves. And I quote!<\/p>\n Well, don’t I look a right arse. I don’t know what this says about my hearing, the audio quality of old VHS tapes that had been replayed into oblivion, or my dirty mind even as a young’un. As you might expect, the two dinos (who I’m sure appear in no other episode – prove me wrong, Dino Babies Wiki, which as of this writing is 100% not a thing!)<\/span> are references to Abbott and Costello, complete with Lou Abbott’s pencil moustache and Bud Costello’s dopey disposition, though this was totally lost on 1990s me.<\/p>\n While I’m on a correction kick, let’s put my reading comprehension into question! In an ONM Remembered instalment<\/a> where letter writer Andrew Mills clearly says they visited the N64 Magazine offices on work experience, I was under the bizarre delusion that they won a contest to get there. In hindsight, why the staff behind a games magazine would ever offer a visit to their Pot Noodle-scented office as a contest prize is a bit of a baffling notion, but thank you to Mr. Mills for writing in<\/a> and correcting me! Should I ever get around to making an index for ONM Remembered you can probably expect corrections and annotations abounds.<\/p>\n Speaking of, what can we expect from Random Hoo Haas in future? Honestly, probably the same old documentative guff that’s been the norm the past couple of years – I have to wade through magazines, comics and Bomberman merchandise just to reach the computer, so I want those written about and disposed of. I’ve lots of ideas for stuff I would like to do, in no particular order…<\/i><\/p>\n
\n“Speaking of <\/i>Dino Babies, I’d love to cover some of it on Random Action Hour – especially the episode where everyone rides on a big boat and there’s two characters called Dick and Butt. No, seriously, they show up just for that episode and I can’t even remember what they do, but they introduce themselves by saying, <\/i>“Hi, my name’s Dick. This is Butt.”<\/b> Keep it classy, 1990s!”<\/i><\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/bl\/blog-dinobabielou.jpg\")
