Thanks you everyone for your well Wishes, and i’m so sorry for your loss Ronster. I was rushed into hospital again on Sunday but i’m back home now and thankfully it wasn’t anything too major, although it does look like i will need another operation to insert another stent if the artery that caused Sundays emergency gets any worse. So i need to take it very slow now during the long recovery. But, thanks to the amazing work the NHS have done for me, for the most part i feel better than i have for over a decade. Looks like i’ve been having mini heart attacks for years now and this was the one that finally knocked me down.

Thankyou for kind words and others too. My Mum also had issues with Vascular but it really came down to being the small blood vessels rather than problems with main arteries but it combined with other problems like Diabetes and Kidney Disease.

Blood flow around your body is very important not only to stop you say getting pins and needles but if yoh need treatment for an infection and anti-biotics don’t make it to where the infection is due to blood vessel damage then it can not be fought off effectively. Anyway I hope you can take that in. For my Mum whom was 77 nearly 78 which is relatively young but you see it’s multiple issues that is when you get in a real difficult situation. I hope you get on the mend soon Ady.

First thing I wanna say is I always pictured you as American. Hmm. Oh well. Lol. But sorry for your loss, man. My mom died of pneumonia back in 2003. My dad died in 2014, one of my four (now three) sisters died last year, my uncle died last month, my (wife’s) dog of 15 years died a couple of months ago, and I also had a niece on the wife’s side that died at only 6 months old a couple years ago. Amoung many others as well. Death sucks, man! But time does heal all wounds, even if only temporarily, until you think about it again. But it does get easier anyway.

Adywan, sorry to hear about you as well, glad you are getting better. A good reminder that we all need to take better care of ourselves.

Episode 2.5 - Clone Wars
Time

Tobar said:

I think Tartakovsky’s mini-series is the perfect 2.5. It covers the start of the war, Anakin’s knighthood, his struggle with the darkside and leads directly into ROTS.

I agree. I was thinking maybe a scene or two from the other CW could be inserted (even though it’s 3D instead of 2D) showing Bail asking for help (“Years ago you served my father in the Clone Wars”

Super Mario / Captain N / Zelda TV series preservations (a WIP)

Neat. I plan on having every foreign dub represented at least once on my “super set”. Like Sierra Brooklyn in German, Magic Love in Swedish, etc. I’d like to have at least one live action, 1 Mario cartoon and 1 Zelda cartoon in each language. What is a good Zelda cartoon, Mario cartoon and live action segment I can find in Danish, if any? I might even try to dub one episode with Charles Martinet and one with Chris Pratt, if I can find suitable audio.

Yeah that’s what I plan on doing a 3 blu ray set of all 65 episodes in DVD quality. Its been so long that I’ve actually watched the German set I have (but like I said, I bought them when they were sold in volumes), so I didn’t really remember how the quality was. It’s the best source for Sierra Brooklyn anyway. The YouTube versions came from the German DVD.

Yeah the Zelda previews, amoung other things. I don’t have my set with me right now (in storage) but off the top of my head, George Washington Slept Here is missing part of the dream sequence, The Magic Love is missing a section, which makes it hard to recreate in English. There is a complete version of that episode in Swedish on YouTube, but the part missing from the German version has a TV watermark on the Swedish one. Sierra Brooklyn, I think is only missing a section of the freeze framed cartoon Mario head. I sorta fixed that by adding more frames of the head and some music from the Inspector Gadget cartoon. Pretty sure all episodes have 20-40 seconds missing of each episode, not counting the Zelda preview.

Honestly, the most complete set is this Australian set.
https://www.blu-ray.com/dvd/The-Super-Mario-Bros-Super-Show-Collectors-Set-DVD/151845/
It’s NTSC and has every missing “Mario” segment from the American set, except George Washington Slept Here. (Also missing a “standard” episode, but that one is on the US Shout set. The AU set doesn’t have any bumpers, but those are on the US set. The AU set also has some Domino’s sponsor bumpers (after the first theme song, which only some episodes used when originally aired) and Viacom closing tags.

The German set is really only good for some Zelda segments and George Washington Slept Here, unless you’re also after German audio. Pretty much every missing segment can be cobbled from YouTube. But as I said, my custom set will have EVERYTHING to make it as close to originally aired in the US as possible. I’ll get to work on it again soon. I’m going to include every Mario and Zelda segment, every found Club Mario segment and bonus feature, all songs restored, etc.

I think all/most foreign soundtracks contain the cover songs, but it’s not always easy ripping clean parts for English use.
