Does anyone else remember the Nicktoons Summer Beach House? I have a feeling it was the summer of 1999, because it had Spongebob and Rocket Power as a part of it. The jingle was exceptionally catchy (Nicktoons summer beach HOUUUUUUUUUSE!) If anyone can find videos or other info on it, it'd be much appreciated.

"Something witty."

Mixed Doubles posted:

This is generally how I see it, but this little series of posts got me thinking about exactly how I'd delineate the nineties from the 2000s. I actually think a big aesthetic marker would be the release of the ipod. Not necessarily because of what it did, but by how it introduced that white, minimalist aesthetic that really took off, in contrast with the xtreme, color blocked nineties. Even nineties futurism tended towards black angular stuff.

I'm probably wrong about it being the ipod that started the wave on this aesthetic shift, but that's what it is in my head.
Based on things like aesthetics and fashion, I'd say the 90s actually ended "early", around 1998/1999. The minimalist look was really coming into vogue around that time with things like this:


(released May 1999)

Based on the same reasoning, you could also say that the 80s actually lasted until 1992, which would probably explain a lot of the things which came out of the early 90s.

Saturday nights in the UK in the 90s were all about Gladiators!

Ordinary schlubs going in for cool games against these absurd muscle people with names like Rhino and Lightning. And you could win a car or a holiday or something like in all proper gameshows. There was a bad guy type Gladiator called Wolf who was old as hell and would always get into fights and stuff, he was the coolest. And everybody would do impressions of the ref's Scottish accent at school.

I'm pretty sure my first crush on a boy was Josh Server from All That. Who didn't love that show?

Who else went to Zany Motherfucking Brainy before it went out of business? That poo poo was the ultimate store for me, as a burgeoning science nerd, and my parents couldn't take me too often or I'd have bought the entire store. LOVED that place. I had so many dinosaur toys from there. I went with my (at the time) teenage cousin who used to babysit me one time, and she got me an archaeology kit thing that was basically a model of a Mesoamerican temple that you could excavate from the huge block of clay or whatever the kit came in. I loving loved that model, wish I still had it. I also had an articulated mini skeleton in a jar. It broke, but I still have the arm from it hanging in my car. :3: I was such an adorable little nerd.

Speaking of stuff like that, who had Earthsearch?

This book was probably the coolest thing I ever owned. I just found it recently and was forced to basically read through the entire thing in one sitting. Sooo cool.

This book, though not Klutz, was also incredible:

It wasn't perfect but I learned a lot of things from that book as a child that I was never taught later, such as the concept of abundant numbers.

Before everything, there was just the hate.
Around Christmas 1993 we installed our very first CD-Rom into our already overworked PC, a 486 I dubbed "Frankenstein" since my dad was constantly switching out parts and working on it. Pentium 1 was just a pipe dream then, but at least we had a turbo button.

The CD-Rom drive came in a bundle with two big-rear end speakers and a TON of games and CDs, like 50 or so. A lot of junk mostly but it did include timeless gems that occupied a lot of my time.

There was 7th Guest!
