What is Death By Cartoon?
A masochistic exercise in which I watch episodes of really horrible cartoons based on video games. Each week, I write an in-depth synopsis of a single episode, riddled with commentary, screen captures and, occasionally, multimedia clips. Plus, you get to witness the slow spiral of my sanity leaving me.
Why would you do this to yourself?
At first, I thought it would be funny. It's not funny. These shows are really, really bad.
What is the "SLITOMETER"?
This SLITOMETER is a measure of how much an episode makes me want to end my own life. It's a one-to-ten scale, running up the arm. The worse the episode, the longer the cut.
What other methods of scoring does Death By Cartoon use?
This list is prone to addition as new ideas come to me. You'll see these other scores pop up from time to time:
-ICUS Count: The number of times Kid Icarus uses his trademark vocal tic, adding "-icus" to the end of a word, per episode. While an exact number is used for early appearances of this score, it will likely be a percentage in the future.
MEGA- Count: Like the -ICUS Count above, but counts the number of times Megamn prefaces a word with "mega-".
When do new editions of Death By Cartoon appear?
Death By Cartoon is updated weekly, on Thursdays.
