After my post yesterday I decided you have to see this love bird called Twinkly for yourself (and also a bit of Sven/Jack). Pure beauty.

The good things in Jabaloe?

I made a rant post a while back about Jabaloe, the “worst show by Studio 100″ as I called it. Is there anything good in it? Well...

There is a character called Twinkly (yes, his name is fucking Twinkly) played by Danny Houtkooper (who I’ve never heard of before) and his character trait is that he’s gay. That’s it. Not openly gay, of course, he doesn’t flirt with anyone or so (that would be a step far too much for our dear Studio 100) but just look at him. Everything, from his clothes, to his hair, to the way he acts and his personality. He’s gay.

But here’s the thing; he’s not annoyingly gay. Many gay characters when being used as a joke are so over the top. They scream, they behave like bitches or sluts, are so gay-girly and all about clothes and just god awful annoying. Also, they’re loud. Twinkly is none of this. He’s calm (probably the calmest character in the whole show), pretty quiet and grounded. He’s lovely, kind and just want to be happy and knows he looks good. I’d love to compare him to Alberto from Samson & Gert (who also is a totally-gay-but-we-never-say-he’s-gay-but-yeah-he’s-obviously-gay character) who at times is very loud and over the top. Compared to Alberto, Twinkly is SO calm and tame.

When he’s in a scene, even the laughing track feels appropriate. God this character is WAY too good for this show...

Another great thing about this show is the fact that Sven de Ridder is in it, and his character, Jack the Sheriff, is totally okay so he’s fun to watch. Sven looks like he’s really doing this for the paycheck and because for the fun of it, he’s rarely over the top and is pretty fun at times too. Also from what I know, Peter and Sven are pretty good friends IRL, so their scenes together are pretty fun and Peter isn’t as cringy or annoying when there’s only the two of them or they’re playing against each other.

Also I find it hilarious that Sven is playing the sheriff when he’s like a head shorter than anyone else in the show. That was probably their plan all along and it’s adorable.

These two are seriously the only thing I really, really enjoy about the show. I’d love to take them, drag them out of the whole cowboy-business and put them in a good show instead. The main character Joe is also okay, but he’s that bland sort of main character that is a bit TOO bland. I don’t care about him at all and the only thing I know about him (still) is that he sort of has a crush on the girl, and she sort of have a crush on him, but they never establish it or confirm it? So vague...

Twinkly is amazing though. Oh why is he in this awful show...? Scrap that, WHY IS ANY OF THESE AMAZING ACTORS IN THIS AWFUL SHOW!???

A Newcomer Approaches .... Sheriff Jack!

Sheriff Jack Original Series: Sheriff

Sheriff is one of Nintendo's first video games, before Mario came to exist and even a year before Game & Watch. The story was basic: shoot the bad guys to save the damsel in distress. The gameplay, however, was unique for its time, with an eight-way directional joystick which included an intentional lag so you could move and shoot in different directions, which gave the game a steeper difficulty that the rest of that early generation of games and started Nintendo on their path of video gam innovation. For his historical contributions to Nintendo, the Sheriff (Mr. Jack as he's also called) deserves a bigger role than Assist Trophy next time.

Sheriff Jack's attacks:

Standard B - Quickdraw ... Sheriff draws his six shooter and fires. Briefly hold B and use the joystick to direct the shot in any of the eight directions. If just tapped, he will shoot straight forward. He fires a pellet like his AT does that looks almost dart-like. It doesn't have quite the power of the AT, but it is still pretty powerful.

Side B - Rogue Bandit ... Sheriff calls upon one of the Bandits who hops past him and goes straight out in front of him. Essentially this is a mini-Sheriff, shooting in the same eight directions as he hops forward. He will do his best to aim at the nearest opponent to him. He disappears if he takes any damage. Only one can be on the stage at a time.

Up B - Vulture ... The winged scavenger grabs onto the Sheriff's shoulders and flies upward. At his peak, he does a few circles, looking for dying animals below. This lets the Sheriff hold his position in the air for a little while before dropping, if he chooses to. This bird can be killed for a bonus, just like in Sheriff. Except here, any player that kills it will get a temporary stat boost.

Down B - Trusty Steed ... Sheriff calls upon his horse and gets on. He can ride his horse for increased speed and horizontal jump at the expense of his vertical jump and the ability to use A attacks. He damages anyone he tramples though. Down B again or Up B will have him dismount. Unless he gets back on in a few seconds the horse will vanish.

Final Smash - Bandit Raid ... As in his game, sixteen Bandits come on screen and fire at the players. They move quicker and fire faster than the single Bandit he uses, but they can still be KOed. They are also much more powerful than the Sheriff's shots, so watch out! The Bandits will eventually disappear if not KOed by the players first.

Something I've always wanted to do...Watch a meteor shower, whilst sitting on a car with someone special...

[ita-blog1-blog]

I'm finding the idea of watching the last episode, that's sitting there on my TiVo, way harder than I'd have imagined. It doesn't matter whether it's good or bad--either way sucks. I really thought I was okay with this, but saying goodbye to it when it ended filming was very different from saying goodbye when it ended airing...and I can pretend that hasn't happened if I haven't hit [play] and then [stop]. Final [stop]. 'Cause I'm not seeing "ten year reunion panel at San Diego Comic Con". Call it a hunch.
