Throughout our childhood an into our adult lives, we here at Digital Dissection love us some good cartoons, anime, and video games.  Something that always makes the characters of these mediums stand out are the men and women who provide their vocal talent to bring those characters to life.  

On today's Side Stitches, we talk about some of our favorite voice actors in preparation for this week's interview with the incredibly talented Kyle Hebert.

We may do a little voice acting today ourselves, albeit very awkwardly... but acting none the less!

It's Saturday morning in the late 80's, you've just poured yourself a bowl of cereal, and now it's time to sit down an enjoy your favorite cartoon.  For at least two of us here at Digital Dissection that cartoon followed four dudes in New York City that weren't afraid to throw down with any problem poltergeist. 

On today's Side Stitches, Joe and Mark talk about The Real Ghostbusters! They touch on the episodes that creeped them out so much they watched them on repeat, as well as how this little cartoon expanded on the rich story that the 1984 movie began. 

No gorillas were used in the recording of today's episode.

On today's Side Stitch Mark and Joe regale what the world thought it would look like at the turn of the century!  Would the world be moved to the skies? Would we have self cleaning houses? Would entire meals come in pill form? NO! But you already knew that since you're currently alive and living with none of those things!

We also keep talking a little Ready Player One with some of the early social MMO's we used to enjoy, and one of is still is, a part of.
