I remember back when I would only buy Taiyo Yuden DVD-Rs because I was like 15 and SH/SC was loving insistent that if you used anything other than Taiyo Yudens your precious animes would disappear forever because discs that weren't the holy TYs would die after a few months. It was probably insane hyperbole, but I have to say that I did pop one of those DVDs into my compy the other day on a lark just to see if it still worked, and sure enough, all that vintage bangbros I ripped with a stolen login was still there in beautiful 512kbps wmv quality.

god the matrix and equilibrium fueled terrible nerd fetishes for a while. i mean, the whole secret super cool badass (who is also physically fit and attractive) is so ripe for self-insert, it really was pandering so hard like the first matrix is still a pretty cool movie but you have to block out all the terrible poo poo that followed in its wake and thats tricky
