openU.S.A 3D Kids Show Based around Virtual Reality Usually aired on Saturdays
I remember a while back in somewhere between 2004-2007, that there was a kids drama TV show that was partially based in real life, and also in a virtual world. Of one of the major significant features was that there was some kind of Artificial Intelligence in a backpack in the "Real World" that would turn out to be some kind of Dinosaur in the Virtual world. I'm still unsure if it was a kids drama, or if it was just some kind of action TV show. Fort any Additional information, I remember that one of the primary protagonists were from the same virtual world as the A.I. and that the two others were from the "Real World". My memory is pretty fuzzy so I'm not sure if it's very accurate. Thanks for the Help in advance.
openAnimated ahow Anime
I saw this show were I think 3 people fight monsters that come from a gate and one day a powerful one came and a boy was watching and got hit by a blast and was going to die but the 3 guys save him by putting their powers into him which were a sword, hammer, and lance any body know the name of it
openNo Title Videogame
Putting this in for a buddy of mine.
Near as he can remember, he says it was a 3D-ish shooter for the SNES in which you controlled a spaceship and shot at 3d boxes that came at you. Your ship was always in the same place, vertically, and you'd shoot the boxes to be able to continue. Apparently at the end of the second level there was a boss that he refers to as a "fire snake", and he only once got to the third level because this boss was really difficult.
He seems adamant that it's not the original Star Fox, as well.
openNo Title Videogame
A game I played once or twice two or three years back.
It was for the PC-98/Turbografx, a platformer, with very bright, anime colors, and I remember it was kind of rushed. The manual apparently mentioned an item that was never used in the game, I think it might have had something to do with saving.
openBook with a bus crash and codependency Literature
A girl is trying to remember about this book, but she only knows the story. A group of people are trying to find this book since january/2015, but after many searches, no one was able to find it's name or the author name. The only girl who have read the book shared some informations about the book. The author is male, the last name reminds her about trees (wood, paper...). Takes place in Florida, a girl and a boy almost die in a school bus accident (it fell on a river/lake). After that she had many scars and the boy suffered damages that prevents him to play baseball, then they create a co-dependency relationship, in the begining plantonic but then becomes obsessive. The book is written by the point of view of a new girl on their school, who thinks the relationship very weird (the others don't mind at all). She read the book around the year of 2007, but she said the book could take place around the 70's, because there was no presence of cellphones and internet. The cover is half black and half white, similar to Paradox Love (by Dorothy Gravelle). Sorry for the way I wrote, english is not my first language P.S.: NOT the sweet hereafter.

open90's sitcom Live Action TV
I am looking for a mid-90's sitcom where the plot of pretty much episode was a guy trying to flirt a crush using different manners to do so. But in pretty much episode, something would go wrong and the crush won't go out with the guy. The guy and the girl were Caucasian and had brown hair. I'm not sure if the show is American or British or something else but I'm sure the original version was in English.
Edited by FrenchDudeopenFantasy Comic of some sort. Webcomic
The comic had a TV Tropes page. It was about two female heroes. One of them had some sort of godly ancestor The comic was in black and white. At one point one of the 2 main characters is told to pull a lever of a specific color (I think green), but they pull the wrong lever because the Comic isn't in Color. The Comic was around since before 2012.
openA robot game
I am looking for a videogame for the NES. It was a side-scrolling game were you used a robot (mario bros size) that couldtransform into diferent robots gaining power-ups, last ting I remember is that one of the first and easiest bosses was something like a green humanoid triceratops.
openNo Title Film
This movie was a collection of shorts, but I've never been able to track down a single one. All of them were bad animation- really old, the kind that looks like it's three frames- and the audio was kinda tinny too. I saw it on a VCR tape when I was a kid.
Anyways, the shorts. One was this cinderella-style one, about this girl who swept cinders out of the grate (hence her name cinderella), and had a cruel mother. There was no voice work for the characters, just a narrator talking over it. Had a sooty look to it.
Another was a cat-and-mouse chase (not tom and jerry, but somewhat their style) through a house FULL of cuckoo clocks. No voices, but a soundtrack and noises for the many clocks. This one was kinda surreal at times.
Another was this Native American boy following/wooing this Native American girl. I remember thinking it was like Hiawatha- what with the boy trying to win the love of someone he couldn't have, being friends with all animals/can talk to them. He did have "voicework" but I'm not sure if it was English or gibberish. Girl didn't speak.
The last one was the strangest. It starts with a cat fishing and singing "Curiosity, meow, curiosity, meow, (deh deh deh deh deh deh deh deh) cur-i-ah-si-ty." Another younger cat comes up as the fisher catches a bottle. Young cat wants to open the bottle and see what's inside, but the older cat says its a bad idea- curiosity kills the cat. He then starts telling of a time he opened a bottle...
He was fishing and found a bottle, and opened it. Out of it came a gas that formed itself into a dragon. The dragon starts chasing the cat... some stuff happens, and now it's a two headed dragon. I forget how the cat managed to get the dragon BACK into the bottle, but he did. The short ends with the cats through the bottle back.
For this short, there is voice-acting for the cat, but during the flashback it was narrated over.
All the shorts are separated by a scrolling screen that has a "dolly" like look (tea dolly, not doll-dolly)- it's pinkish with the lacy/dolly thing over it. It plays this tinny- almost music-box like- music (classical, I think).
The entire thing looks ancient, or incredibly low-budget. Aside from the narration and the cat short, the entire thing looks like it could not be American at all. The Cinderella short looks almost Russian to me, and the others are... odd... for an American work.
And no, searching for Cinderella did not work. Anyone have any clue what this was?

openYoutube Video Series, making a custom Sailboat Web Original
A 20 something guy is make a custom Sailboat. He's modifying an old blue and white sailboat in the woods. On of the main modifications is increasing the height by the removal and reattaching the cabin top.
In the First video he has a memorable comment that goes like this "So you want to build your own custom sail boat.... Then quit your job and go work for a shipyard/marina for 3 years, then buy a boat (to work on)"
I haven't seen it in about 3-5 years, The roof was cut off in the most recent episode I saw. The boat is dirty, fiberglass, on-trailer, blue hull and white deck and at his house in a lightly wooded area.
resolved Three cartoons Western Animation
I saw each of these cartoon during the nineties in the Netherlands but that doesn't mean much.
The first one was about a wish granting alien with a star shaped sidekick. The antagonists were a witch with her pet vulture and a gang of aliens who could transform into different objects.
The second involved a human couple living a town of red white and blue people. Since the town produces paint the rulers made sure that all the colors hated each other to keep the paints they sold pure. But somehow the humans had a cupid, there were other cupids in the show as well but they were minor characters, who used his arrows to make the different colors get along.
The final cartoon was about a girl who I believe was originally from Earth and lived in a world with giant strawberries. She was good friends with the prince but the queen didn't like her.I don't think it was Strawberry Shortcake

Hello, I'm looking for a Warhammer 40k Crossover, the one where Humans and Ponies get sucked into the realm of chaos by one of the gods.
open90s or 00s Fantasy RPG Videogame
This one was on the PC, and around in either the late 90s or early 00s. As I recall, it was a third-person realtime RPG, with a "mission map" thing - different levels in different locations, and you could repeat. The plot involved either undead rising, or eldritch portals opening, or both, and a wake of destruction across the land - levels like a city on fire while the monsters are destroying it.

openFloating Rocks and Airships. Western Animation
It was a tv show aired in the last 10 years, set in a place where the the land masses floated. The main characters were brother and sister ( I think) and they lived on a airship with other characters. One of them had powers and were being chased by a group of people. It's kind of like a cross between Firefly and Avater, the Last Airbender. In one episode, they were being chased by a machine set to find water because the characters' bodies were 70% water.

openRomance/Drama Manga Literature
A manga featuring a dude who crushes on a blonde (tennis player?) from afar when a dark haired girl comes and offers to help him win her over. Has quite a few cliches in it and focuses more on the drama than comedy, if there was any. The dark hair has a rape-ish incident in her past. I think it ends with dude and dark hair together and blonde with her ex. Found it on TV Tropes the first time but cant seem to find it again.
I am not so sure if this show is an I'm or if it even exists at all but I'll try to remember it to the best of my abilities. I believe it was a show about a few kids who can transform into heros. I remember one specific kid had either light brown or blonde hair, wore a purple out/leotard, and Had either lion or tiger paws as his has but only after he transformed. I believe it was a group of 3, 1 girl 2 guys. I think I remember something about some sort of teleport thing. I believe it is late 90s early 2000s. Like I said it might not even be a real tv show but I figured you guys are great at Figuring these things out I might as well try.
