It's been a while since my last post,so I'd thought I'd check in. First,I hope everyone had a great Holiday? I,myself,had an okay one.
Anyway,I've decided to give you guys a heads up on what will be happening here in 2020.
First thing I'll be doing will be deleting unneeded and outdated posts. This needs to be done. Soon after doing this,I'm gonna be relabeling various posts for the sake of organization.
But that's only the beginning. As you are aware,2020 marks the 30th Anniversary of the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. 30 years ago in November,Nintendo Japan released the Super Famicom,which became the SNES when it was brought to North Ametica and Europe.
To celebrate such an important event,I'm gonna be listing Every SNES game that I have Ever played and give you my experience with said game. I'll also be posting a list of the Greatest SNES Soundtracks.
I'll be celebrating the SNES all year round,so you guys won't have to wait until November for these posts.
Also on tbe docket are more Toon Ninja Reviews by RekkaDragonJay and My WWF Redo serie8,where I re-book past WWE events. I also plan on doing more Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball posts,so look out for those. More Retro Gaming content will Also be coming.
Well that's about it for now,I'll keep you posted if I figure out what else I'm gonna do in 2020.
Until Next Time,
Stay Gold,Space Cowboy and Happy New Year!

Toodleloo, Big Bird! RIP Caroll Spinney
This is a Retro Rebellion Special Report
Carol Spinney, renowned puppeteer for Sesame Street has died on December 8, 2019. He was 85. Spinney, for over 30 years, starting in 1969, was best known for portraying two of the most popular characters on Sesame Street, Oscar the Grouch and most importantly, Big Bird. Through his portrayal of both Oscar and Big Bird, he brought a smile to every child and those who are children at heart in his wake. He played as both Oscar and Big Bird until his retirement on October 17, 2018 due to his medical condition called Dystonia, which causes muscle contractions. Big Bird and Oscar have since been passed on to other performers like Matt Vogel and Eric Jacobson respectively, but for the longest time, when we think of Big Bird and Oscar the Grouch, we think of one man, Caroll Spinney. He will be missed. His kind-heartedness will live on for all eternity.
Toodleloo, good sir. Be at peace.

COPPA ruined YouTube Forever!
I like to take moment to give an update on my progress. As you all know, I am back doing blogs on Retro Rebellion full time. If you haven't seen my recent blogs, feel free to do so. And I am doing them full time now because of what's happening now, especially around the internet.
In case you didn't notice, but effect after December 10th of this year, YouTube will be ruined forever, all because of our government's Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is enforcing their law, The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA for short). What am I talking about, you ask? The FTC fined YouTube $170 million for violating the COPPA law and because of that, the next time we post a video there, they will force us to label them whether its kid-friendly or not. Failing to do so, will result the creators to pay the fine of, get this, $42,000.
$42,000? That is highway robbery if I ever saw one. It is bad enough that we have deal with the Content ID and the false copyright claims, but being fined $42,000 over a video? This is the type of fine we cannot and will not afford. Do you know how much hard earn money we would lose because of bunch of robber barons that want to control our lives. That is not protecting our children, this is nothing more than a violation of our first amendment rights. This is just like The Running Man, our government turned our decent country into a police state, where Art, Communications and Music are against the law. And because of a certain vitaligo-ridden numbnut running the country, it is becoming a dark reality.
So, as a precaution, I have deleted my videos from my YouTube account to avoid any penalties until the FTC gets off our backs. Which means, I won't get a chance to post any more videos I will make, especially my Anime Jason vs. Discovery Family retrospective/rant. Speaking of which, I will work on that aforementioned documentary. Until this matter is resolved, I will do my documentary as Stefan did with my 60 Minutes videos all those years ago, I will put them in blogs. It ain't much, but anything is better that to fined by the FTC.
As for my videos, unless you have an account, I will post them on Facebook for now.
If you want to know more about COPPA, the link is below. And if you want to fight against this freedom destroying law, the link to the petition at Change.org is right below to.
It's time to take it to the FTC and to COPPA.
FIGHT THE POWER!!
