04/27/2004: New Article: Tamagotchi Video Adventures!

A reader was nice enough to mail me this one, and if you’ve ever played with a Tamagotchi, learn more about those little creatures you raised with Bandai’s infamous Tamagotchi Video Adventures. It’s a really odd special featuring Tamagotchi monsters running around Earth looking for souvenirs, ending off with a live action segment where some bored artist teaches kids how to draw Masktchi with the help of a sock puppet named Handy Worhol. Jesus. Still not as bad as you might think, and worth a look if you were into the stupid keychains a few years back.

They’ve shown a lot of Scannerz commercial in my area lately and what most stands out about them is the ninth-rate character art. I mean, this stuff was really hideous, like they got someones 14-year-old cousin to draw ‘em. I swear I’m not exagerating in the least. Hell, I could do better.

Anyway, my name is link to the website, which unfortunately doesn’t have the commercial I’m thinking of. There’s a bunch of other cool (read: supremely cheesy) stuff there, though.

It is no wonder that the machines dominated, destroyed or enslaved the humnans in films like Terminator and The Matrix. Look what we do to them. If you watch the Animatrix, you can see what we do to the machines, and it is mirrored right here in these comments.
Have fun punishing your Tama’s, cause paybacks a bitch.

Heh. Punishing your Tama’s. That is my new euphonism for wanking.

Ghosted by Stilewalker @ 04/29/2004 9:13 AM EDT

Sorry, I mean euphemism, not euphonism.

Matt, what’s you’re opinion on Gamecube and Pokemon Ruby and Saphire? Personally, even though the Gamecube doesn’t play any DVDs, I still like it
PS. If you have Pokemon RUby and/or Saphire, can you please review it?
PPS I’m really sorry to be annyoung you with al these Pokemon posts, but it’s been such a long time since ther’ve been ANYTHING Pokemon on this site for a long while.
PPS. How many articles till the new Super-Naturals article comes out?

Ghosted by TOM @ 04/29/2004 12:10 PM EDT

Shit! How did you manage to pull the storyline from a cartoon that has blips and beeps?? My review would of been like, "the wizard, apparently likes crafted pieces of gooey wood, so the blue guy wins."
PS..I’m sure you have heard of Fensler GI JOE spoof PSAs, if not watch them. Also, there is a band out there called the G.I. Joe Killas, that rap entire cartoon episodes. It will be like the Baroness and Destro talking about cobra cash. They are just known as ‘The Killas’ now. Aparently they dress up like the characters too at their shows.

can we discuss pettery that grows?

Ghosted by sixpointsix @ 04/29/2004 1:02 PM EDT

Turn a flower pot upside down, draw a face on it. Put a layer of potting soil on top, and sprinkle some grass seeds on that. Set it in a shallow dish and water the whole thing. Occasionally pour some water in the dish and the pottery will soak up the water and keep the soil moist. Soon, the seed will sprout and your flowerpot noggin will have "hair!" Not a Chia per se, but you can draw your favorite face on the pot. I have no idea where I read this from, but as Berra once said, "You can observe a lot by just watching."

Ghosted by kingklash @ 04/29/2004 2:36 PM EDT

I forgot to mention it has to be a clay flowerpot.

In one of those Ripley’s believe it or not newspaper strips, it said that there was a Tamagotchi
graveyard. I don’t know if it still exists and I don’t remember its location.

the x-e’er is once again hungry. Having fed 3 days ago, the article has had more than enough time to digest, and the blog regurgitation has come to a standstill. the creatrues need something fresh to feed upon, no other website will do. they alertly scan the website, refreshing by the minuite to see what new prey may come. in the background the natives chant for the x-e’ers. calling for a victom…..cha cha cha chia!

Ghosted by brandon @ 04/30/2004 10:28 AM EDT

Back when these things came out, my THEN girlfriend bought one and had the zany idea that I could "look after it". I was like a dead-beat dad to that thing. Id forget about it and it would be half dead when I remembered to look at it again…digital doo-doo EVERYWHERE! But hey, the lil’ monster deserved it, I looked like a total jackass carrying that thing around school.

Matt, where do you find the old commercials? I’m just curious.
Click on my name for a special surprise! It’s not my homepage though.

Ghosted by Keegan B. @ 05/02/2004 11:13 PM EDT

Dude! I was actually going to send you this very video, thinking it might be review-worthy, but I didn’t really want to part with my one copy. I’m glad someone else did.

Makes me think I should go through with my other potential submissions, unless you already have "lumpkin the pumpkin" or "monsters B gone", which you probably do because they were sold at the dollar tree on halloween.

I love the secondary wizard of tamagotchi. That’s the best title ever and he reminds me of a fat orko.

Ghosted by Scythemantis @ 05/03/2004 1:35 AM EDT

Oh yeah, forgot to mention – you seem to have overlooked the fact that masktchi’s babbling little voice is identical to that of Slimer from the real ghostbusters (same actor, same gibberish)

Ghosted by Scythemantis @ 05/03/2004 5:32 PM EDT

Ohhh man. Those were the days. I think I had about 5 of those tamagotchi/digipets/nanopets. They ight have been cool at that time and everything but looking back, it was really gay. The fighter ones were a little less gay. Anyway, Hey Matt it’s your cuz Charlie. Nice work with the site!

Ghosted by Chazmyth @ 05/04/2004 11:30 PM EDT

Ghosted by nat @ 06/28/2004 2:53 AM EDT
