Canadian publisher Throwback Entertainment has been eerily silent since it soaked up the rights to 158 video game properties from off the corpse of the then newly eviscerated Acclaim in mid-2006, including Extreme-G Racing, Vexx, and Re-Volt, not to mention the terribly poor Rise of the Robots.
This morning the company made a new announcement, this time bringing on board animation production vets Ken Duer and Eric Radomski, who join the publisher from Warner Bros. where they worked on such properties as Yu-Gi-Oh: Duel Monsters, Animaniacs, and Batman: The Animated Series. Duer will serve as Throwback's new president of media while Radomski steps into the role of chief creative officer. Both are the latest names to join the company, following VIC and Commodore 64 designer Yash Terakura, former Capcom boss George Nakayama, and David Siller of Crash Bandicoot and Maximo fame. Of course, there's a big difference between owning all the toys and playing with them, and besides throwing a lot of fancy names around, Throwback hasn't done anything – wake us when something comes of all this name dropping.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who love Animaniacs and those who hate it. Which are you?
