Between 1999 and 2000, the amount of internet users around the world more than doubled from roughly 150 million to 407 million . It was a momentous leap — it meant a lot not only for professionals that were finding their workplace activities to be inextricably tied to the online sphere, but for young people as well. The social media boom had not yet occurred, but the use of forums, chat-based communities, and even simple comments sections flourished. For years, connecting and making friends on the internet had been seen as a relatively singular practice, the kind of thing done only for devotees of very niche interests. Now, it was uniform amongst the millennial generation. Though it would take years for mainstream culture to accept the idea that online relationships could hold emotional weight like real-life relationships, the turn was already occurring.

Actor Peter Spellos had over 150 screen acting and vocal performance credits to his name, but genre fans are most likely to remember him as Orville Ketchum from the slasher movie Sorority House Massacre II and its companion piece Hard to Die, as well as the brief appearance he made as the character Tracy’s father in Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare. Outside of horror, he’s best known for providing the voice of Sky-Byte in 39 episodes of the animated series Transformers: Robots in Disguise. Unfortunately, we have very sad news to share today, as it has been confirmed that Spellos has passed away at age 69 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
Born on March 1, 1954, Spellos passed away yesterday, November 19th, at the Franciscan Hospice House in Indianapolis. His brother, James Spellos, notified TMZ that his family is planning an online “celebration of life” gathering for his fans.

Actor Peter Spellos, who had a recurring role on the NBC series “American Dreams” and voiced Sky-Byte in 39 episodes of the animated series “Transformers: Robots in Disguise,” died Sunday at the age of 69.
His death was confirmed by friend Fred Olen on Facebook. “It is with tremendous sadness that I must report the passing of my dear friend, Peter Spellos at 2:30am this morning,” Olen wrote.
“Many of you knew Peter personally,” he continued. “He had more loving friends than there are stars in the sky. A gentler giant never existed. A talented actor, teacher and wise old owl. He always made me laugh. I cannot even recall how many movies we made together, but they would probably fill a book… maybe some day they will. Goodbye, pal.”

Digimon, as a franchise, has always had the perception of being Pokémon‘s less successful younger brother. That’s bound to happen when two Japanese media franchises choose to name themselves after the pneumonic of “Adjective + Monster,” with Pokémon meaning “Pocket Monsters” and Digimon meaning “Digital Monsters.” That perception, however, isn’t entirely fair. Digimon never reached the cultural heights that Pokémon did because truthfully: very few franchises do. But that doesn’t mean that Digimon didn’t have plenty going for it back during the dawn of the 21st century.
First starting as a series of virtual pet toys before moving on to video games, card games, other merchandizing, manga, and ultimately a moderately successful anime, the Digimon franchise was genuinely successful in the late ’90s and early ’00s. So much so that the digital powers-that-be must have felt they had everything they needed to compete with Pokémon. There...
