My Art Blog My Youtube
so, it has really just absolutely KILLED me to try to keep my art blog just about art things. I needed an outlet for all the geeky things I know and love, somewhere where I can just talk to myself all I want without worrying about a target audience or trying to be useful or anything. a place where I could go and pretend I had friends who would be interested in all of the minutia of every geeky thing I want to talk about.

a place kind of like this :D
where I don't have to put up any fronts at all, and can be my geeky self any time I want.
thus, 'Ahh, GEEK OUT!' was created.
A blog where I turn into a great big Geekazoid.
Named after Dexter Douglas' tag line he yells to turn into Freakazoid.
"Ahh, FREAK OUT!"
see the resemblance?
yeah, me neither. >_>
well, that segways neatly into my first geek out session!
I've been addicted to watching Freakazoid...Again.
like seriously, I'm thinking of starting a support group for all of the Freakazoid fans that still exist. I probably would too, if I didn't have too many projects going already.
I can't believe that show only lasted TWO seasons! TWO! TWOOO! I mean, WHYYYYY?!?!?!?! *SOBS violently*
it was pure genius! I know it's taboo to say, but I always loved it more than Animaniacs. and I seriously love me some Animaniacs. THAT'S how much I love Freakazoid.
I would have loved to see more character development, and longer storyline threads, but that is seriously my only complaint.
well, that and the fact it only ran for two seasons... TT_TT
Fav Characters
1. Dexter Douglas = ♥
2.THE NARRATOR....=♥♥♥ loved him in Space Quest, love him still in Freakazoid, and would love to find more projects he's done. When I realized he was the same Narrator from Space Quest, I seriously geeked out. called my sister in, proved it to her, and then we both geeked out.
(me and my sister, geeking out)
I just adore the character type this guy played in both Space Quest and Freakazoid. and to my shame...I cannot remember his name.

3. Freakazoid - OBVIOUSLY. he's the freakin' main character, and freakin' AMAZING. especially when he's 'flying' around. X3 and yes, I said freakin'. because he's the Freakazoid. he like, freaks, and things. so it's totally appropriate. Freakin'.
4. Cosgrove - Somebody give this man a medal and a promotion. seriously, he was an awesome policeman. even if he was goofing off all the time, he ALWAYS knew what was going on, and what should probably be done about it. without even trying.
5. The Lobe - heheheheheh! Best villain of the series, easily. but then, I've always been partial to the Mad Scientist type, especially if he's sarcastic.
I love The Lobe's relationship with Freakazoid. the Frenemy thing they have going on just makes me happy. ^_^
6. Emmitt Nervend - the first few times I saw this guy, he freaked me out, but I grew to love him. every time he shows up, I point my finger and go "NERVEND! :D!!" ...it's a fun game. :)
7. Mo-Ron - I just wanna give this guy a hug. this guy is just trying his best!
8. Armando Guitierrez - KHAAAAAAAAN!!
9. Weena Mercator, aka 'The Hopping Woman' - makes me giggle every time her name is said. I also like to think that this is Steph's real name. just to give Steph some character.
Least fav Characters
it isn't that I hate them...but I don't really like them...
1. FANBOY.... *shudder*
okay, so I know I'm technically a Fangirl... and I actually know real people EXACTLY like Fanboy (nasal-voice included) but they aren't quite as creepy as he is...why did they have to make him soo creepy... >.< I dunno. I just know I would keep my pepper spray in my hand around him. in high school he was probably voted 'Most likely to murder his family, friends, and everyone else in the tri-state area in an attempt to recreate the final scene from X-Men 3'
2. Steph - boooorriiiing... she has less personality then my shoelaces. no, I take that back, because my shoelaces have these awesome pirate skulls on them. so my shoelaces have approximately a billions times more personality then she does. a cardboard cut-out of her silhouette could do her job more convincingly.
even in just writing this bit about her, I got so bored that I went back and revised my opening paragraph and re-read the rest of the post, except for this bit because it was so BORING. moving on now, before I fall asleep.
I would like to say in closing, Freakazoid is just such a wonderful show. rewatching the episodes actually helped me alot with my animating. (I'm an aspiring Animator, btw. so watching cartoons is homework for me ^_^) I've always adored the WB style, even though it wasn't as smooth, clean, and lifelike as Disney's polished style. WB cartoons always have this ZIP to them, a bit of sparkle that Disney usually doesn't. I can't really explain it, since I don't quite have enough knowledge as to what causes that Zip. except maybe being under a super tight deadline as the WB animators always were. I can only hope my cartoons are half as interesting to watch as Freakazoid one day. n_n
Well, this post is plenty long,
so ttfn, I'll see you next post.
