Here to post more commercials: The Now That's What I Call Music Commercials http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56PPmMrMyW4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xA8zrAicmc Gyro Kite(I wanted one of these so bad, but like everything in commercials, it was 19.95 away  )http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWPthdadKyg&feature=related Mouse Trap! I wanted this too but now that I look back on this commercial it looks like it would have been too much work to set up so I probably never would have played it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkuGzYuy5ZU&feature=related Pizza head http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kg2j6EifRWo&feature=related Anyone remember cousin skeeter?  I remember it being a weird show made even stranger in that it was a single camera show and they insisted on using a laugh track. 90's Gaunab liked it though.

I got the gyro kite. It wouldn't fly. I'm pretty sure you had to have some pretty significant and constant wind, which just doesn't happen unless you're at the beach, as shown in the commercial. Was pretty disappointing at the time, as I used to like kites as a kid. ^^ Single camera is a style. The office/30 rock/parks and rec are single camera, for example. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-camera_setup For general purposes, if it doesn't seem like the show was shot in front of an audience and it doesn't have the standard sitcom look/feel to it (like friends or something) there's a good chance it's single camera. Edit 2: Apparently no laugh track is also a single cam thing now, though that hasn't always been the case. Ninja Toast! has a new favorite as of 05:28 on Mar 26, 2012 |

 I remember seeing the box for this as a kid and thinking "holy poo poo this is going to be awesome!" Then I watched it, and it turned out to be a half hour long PSA on the dangers of drugs (mainly weed). God was it boring.

^^^ Rhino been meaning to ask, apologize but I have no pms and you don't have any contact info in your profile. Where in malaysia are you? I'm just a little south of you in Indonesia.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 probably would put The Matrix at the very end of the 90s for me. It came out in 1999 and it had this vaguely 90s style to it. Things were dirty, and it was about a dystopian future and of course everyone had trenchcoats. It wasn't quite "90s" as it didn't have some of the god awful fashion of the early 90s but all decades are a transition period. RagnarokAngel has a new favorite as of 09:51 on Mar 26, 2012 |

Globalstar Software's 100 Action Adventure Games I'd say that I was raised on the computer, but most of my time on the computer was spent playing the only two volumes of this series I owned. One of my favorites was a platformer named Guimo.  Even looking back today, this game was pretty drat sweet. Big levels that made you feel like you truly had to fight to survive, crazy enemies, and an arsenal of kick-rear end weapons. You could even summon a little egg-looking robot to fight along side you. It being a demo, I never played any level other than the very first. I played that little jungle level a lot. I wanted to play the rest of the game so bad that I would draw designs of what I thought the other levels might look like based on the few screenshots I had. Then there was Baldies...  A real-time strategy game that featured you controling different classes of little bald dudes in war against the Hairies, which were little Eskimo dudes with big beards. For how long I played this game, I never figured out even the simplest controls. I'd just dick around with my little Baldies until I got tired. Then, I'd use the dig tool to dig a moat below each and every Hairy, killing them without the need to sacrifice my little children. Me and my best friend would play Baldies on the playground. We would each be a different class, being controlled by an unseen hand.

"Master Ickis you're new here but there is one important thing to learn. The Gromble never, I repeat, never misspeaks! I went back and watched most of the episodes of this on Netflix. When I was a kid I loving hated the Gromble. I thought he was an rear end in a top hat. Now however going back and re watching the show, well the Gromble is still an rear end in a top hat, but he's one of those fair assholes who learned long ago that he had to be an rear end in a top hat to keep control of the class, and he actually gives a poo poo about properly educating his students. ...And that Ickis is a lazy poo poo who oscillates between having zero self confidence and being over confident. I'd love to see that show brought back. Very original and very competently done. It's also holding up well to the test of time.

Here's something that I've been wondering about for a long time: were the Spice Girls universally popular, or were they more of a nineties version of Justin Bieber or Hannah Montana, where they were really only listened to by kids? Did college kids listen to the Spice Girls? I was in elementary school at the time, and I feel like these acts targeted specifically at tweens are a pretty recent phenomenon, but I also can't really imagine in retrospect that they had any fans older than thirteen. I wonder if they, along with all the boy bands at the time, were really targeted towards adolescents, just not as explicitly as the more recent acts are. On the other hand, the nineties were such a goofy time that it doesn't seem that impossible.

This guy was the coolest motherfucker on the planet. My friend and I would have sleepovers where we did nothing but eat pizza and play Tekken 3, Medievil and Escape from Horrorland. If we needed a fresh supply of oxygen we just went for a ride on our kickin rad DBS Cybertracks. Why was an offroad bike called cybertrack? gently caress if I know, I just knew I had to have one, or I'd never be cool.  e: I just remembered, the bikes came with CDs (!) with a little MPEG on them showing off how totally cool and cyber this bike was. Blew my 14 year old mind six ways from Sunday. e: some more Spellbinder Australian fantasy show that always seemed to be on when you turned the TV on. Despite this I never had any loving idea what was going on. Pirates of Dark Water I think Cartoon Network only ever aired one episode in Norway, but damned if they didn't air that one episode every loving chance they got. I'm serious, the same god damned episode every single time. The Centurions Centurions were better than Transformers. I will fight you on this.
