Did anyone try the "which turtle are you?" test? The website says I'm like Shredder, do'h!

I got Mike, which is actually really odd; I always get Don on those things.

But the writing for the test and for the Web site in general is just terrible and it clearly didn't go through an editor or any sort of quality assurance. For the test I'd like to know who came up with some of the questions/answer choices. One of the answer choices being "Stallone" is just burned in my head as a give-away that whoever wrote it is completely disconnected from society. All the other ACs are two-name people; since when did Sylvester Stallone become a one-name celebrity? And he's not exactly a relevant name.

Oh, I also remember that my favorite color wasn't even a freakin' option for that question. Hello, green anyone?!!!

The timeline is also lacking and dotted with inaccuracies.

I tried to be optimistic about it, but I can't help but find the site to be full of fail.

Jee wow, big surprise. I turned out as Raph without picking the obvious selections.
Kinda sucks all this anniversary stuff...and the toon is dead, the comic book is non-existant....

I'm kinda bummed about the graphics, they really don't look good.
Also, on some pages, if I try to navigate to another page, I get a white screen with an error.

I got leo, which kind've proves how crappy this test is.

moved to new thread...

I think the site's kinda neat. It's not the best thing since Jesus or anything, but whatever. I never really expected it to be the savior of the franchise. It's a great website for people casually acquainted with the Turtles, though.

Nice for a little look-though. Might have some more time-wasters on it later. Other than that, whatever. I'd expect more if the TMNT were as popular right now as they were in 1990.

No surprise, I got Mikey! Party dude who likes to have fun (and play the drums).

Which reminds me, I noticed that when you visit the news room, all navigation links point to a development domain (tmnt25.dev.crtpr.com) instead of TMNT25.com. Then again, I am a web developer, so it's my job to pay attention to things like that.

*Buslady* · 01-03-2009, 01:46 AM

I noticed that and wondered if that was the developmental pages or something...how tacky.

*Roseangelo* · 01-03-2009, 01:51 AM

Yeah, I've found some pages with script errors, too.

The site could stand to be a lot better, but I still think it's great that the 25th anniversary of the TMNT is getting some attention. Ten years ago I wouldn't have thought that there would even be this much interest in the Turtles ever again.

Sorry

Meant the main title, with the corny storyline going

Either way I can't find Tales anywhere, nobody carries it here. But that's not the point..the main book is nonexistent. They're stuck in limbo...

I have to travel a bit to get a hold of some Tales issues.

I don't really miss the main book too much. It was okay, better than having no Turtles at all certainly, but the storyline wasn't really exciting me. We had one issue out this year. I guess that beats last year's schedule.

*Rooish* · 01-03-2009, 10:53 AM

The site is colourful and dynamic. Of course, there are plenty of pages-to-nowhere. I have to wonder who wrote it, too--some of it is pretty weak, especially the character bios. I'm glad the website is there to generate interest, especially among passive fans, or people who liked the TMNT as kids. So I'm glad we have this site.

Although I can't seem to register for the site, either. Annoying.

*Roseangelo* · 01-03-2009, 11:45 AM

The saddest thing about the site is that the "About Mirage Studios" page is HORRIBLY inaccurate and, again, horribly written. You'd think they'd at least be able to get the history of their company right.

**Jester** · 01-03-2009, 12:36 PM

I think a certain forum member should proofread that page for those of us who are ig'nant....

In the works, my friend, in the works.

Although it may not be up until tomorrow. Not only do I have to dig out a few buried resources, but I have to do so at times when they won't be eaten by my bunny.

(And I'm having company over tonight for the sole purpose of adoring the bunny.

I'll probably be doing this, as well.

Research? Who does research when they post "information" or "facts" on the inter-webs?
