Futurama for sure, with all the geeky jokes and clever situations.
I mean The Simpsons had its time back then, but now it is more on the mediocre side (though the movie was funny).

oh futurama by miles, I'll be honest the simpsons can still occasionally get a laugh out of me, but it's down to about 2 per season, but almost every other joke is just awful.
Speaking of futurama, Bender is in the credits for Contra 4 :D

I've recently found myself wondering how to properly pronounce Adarias..

It's odd because i basically never say it outloud, and therefore the pronounciation has never been important, but one day i just realised i'm not really sure. I guess generally i'd have thought it was 'Ay-dar-ee-ass' or 'A-dar-ee-ass' but it could also be 'Aida-riaz' (or maybe not so zeddy). Ok now i've just realised there aint much difference between them. But i won't delete this post cus it would seem like a waste ey wot. Ignore if you wish.  :noob:

I pronounce it  UH-DAIR-EE-ISS.  (A-DY-REE-USS reminds me of "diarrheas".  :crazy:)

I guess if I were to pronounce it, it'd be "uh-dear-i-ous" except the phonetic pronunciation would still sound a bit different coz of my accent.

What about my name?!
When I made it, I only really thought people would think "Tuh-kaahm"
but that really hasn't been the case

I think "taka-em" because the M is capitalized

Me too. :3
And I pronounce Adarias "uh-dare-ee-as" except the "as" is kinda a mix between "is" "as" and "us" wtf? xD
My name has brought much confusion. I wonder how people here would pronounce it..? o:

Adarias : Uh-dare-e-us
.TakaM : dot-Tok-ah-Em(Is it really meant to be pronounced?)

BTW, Larwick, I really like the way you did the metal in your avatar.

I pronounce Aelyrin  "AIL-a-rin"
I pronounce TakaM  "TAH-kah EM"
I pronounce Helm  "Helm"

Compared to these (excluding Helm) my name is easy to pronounce.
