So, I found out there was an 80s cartoon based on Q*Bert from The Retroist. Seriously. Taking this situation one step further, my introduction to the animated shenanigans of the foul-mouthed fuzzball was through a segment based on Thanksgiving.
Since this post isn't timely, you get to join in the fun of Q*Bert's horrifically aged adventures early in the morning. Notice how this show literally makes use of every zany sound effect invented prior to its original air date. Yeah, and they managed to squeeze in the famous "@!#?@!" speech bubble too. Incredible.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

If that's mindblowing to you, it'll wreck your entire notion of reality to learn that there was more than just Q-bert - there was an entire block of low-budget Ruby-Spears cartoon productions based on videogames.
here, check out some links to the "Saturday Supercade"
There was a Teen Wolf cartoon based on the Micheal J Fox movie, a Rubik the magic Cube cartoon based on the Rubik's Cube, and a cartoon about a kid who turns into a car called "Turbo Teen". There was a Laser-Tag cartoon. There was even a cartoon about a kid who turned into the Thing (from the Fantasic Four) when he bashed two magical rings together.
Hmm, I wonder if this show was rebroadcast later on separate from the Supercade? I remember this one and the Pac Man cartoon, but none of the other ones sound familiar.
