And yeah the game is 90s as gently caress, they even released an album for it that had covers of the songs from the game done with a real band that sound pretty heavily influenced by Nirvana. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bspBuUKAj-U

That CD is by the composer Howard Drossin's band Roadkill, which is also the name of Sketch's pet rat. It was packed in with some copies of the game.

My list of requirements for an mp3 player is simply: 'does it play mp3s?' No need to mess with perfection. Lightweight, does what it's supposed to do, has all the bugs ironed out, and even has a decent library built in these days. I tried my hand at configuring Foobar2000 a long time ago, but gave up when I realized I was just remaking the Winamp interface.

Know what was weird? The Mask and Ace Ventura having crossover episodes, so you have The Mask in Ace Ventura but his character model is still Mask-style, and vice versa, and both shows featuring two different Carrey impersonations.

The Back To The Future show wasn't terrible if I recall correctly. The Godzilla series was far, far better than the movie it tied into, and corrected most of its mistakes surprisingly. Like, the premise is that one Godzilla Egg that hatches as the stinger for the movie quickly grows to giant size, and to everyone's surprise can breath fire. Suddenly other monsters start springing up around the world, and Matthew Broderick's character and his team follow the New Godzilla around observing and helping when they can as he fights them.

Conan too in the spirit of its source, ie a lot of hacking and slashing, not a lot of thinking. Bill & Ted was kinda dumb, but it actually had the involvement of the people from the movie (including the cast) going for it, which is a lot more than can be said for the absolutely dreadful live action series.

Damnit Conan, this is like the 16th time you've found something that could cure your family of turned into loving statues syndrome, but you let someone else have it for their problems. You'll never see these people again, gently caress em. No it's cool just learn to be a ninja next episode and then forget everything about being a ninja after that.

The Men in Black cartoon was okay. Or at least good enough that I don't wince at something I liked to watch when I was ten. I love its theme the most: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pXHeuRMc6ak I love looking at images from the comics that the movie was lifted from and wonder how someone at Hollywood got a hold of those.

I remember one cartoon being on Cartoon Network when I was little, which I'm pretty sure was a Hanna Barbera thing from the 1970s (it had that art style) about a bunch of super scientists who lived on this floating island, and the opening credits had all of the characters shooting off on this little flying saucers. I can vividly recall their cat, who I believe was called Julius Caesar, being credited alongside them. To this day, nobody's ever recognised the description, so I've resigned myself to the likelihood that I imagined the whole thing. One thing I did watch was Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm, where Sub-Zero got to snarl all these hilariously stupid "badass" quips like, "Nothing burns hotter than ICE!" My favourite character was Jax.

This sounds familiar, like it was something played in the mid 90s late night block along with Wait Till Your Father Gets Home, the original Justice League, Speed Racer, Wonder Twins, etc. But google is failing me as far as coming up with historical late night cartoon blocks.

It sounds like a Hanna-Barbera parody, based on their formula of crime solving friends being combined with a talking animal. I can't get it to embed, but it was considered a bit shocking in 1994 when an MTV forum asked a question to Bill Clinton that had been making the rounds at that time: boxers or briefs?

A bit like the cat in the Josie and the Pussycats cartoon - in fact I think it was also black and white. Cartoon Network re-ran so many old Hanna Barbera cartoons (or aesthetically similar ones) in the mid-1990s that they've probably all just blurred together in the past 20 years for me.

I grew up in Manchester in the 90s so it was wall to wall MADCHESTER stuff, which even looking back now was awesome. It sprang from Joy Division and The Smiths and went from there, the 90s were amazing where I grew up, for a couple of summers it seemed every open window and every top deck of a bus had this or similar blasting out. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6M0xdLO_bmo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0RJwW77Lsj8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSD11dnphg0 I was lucky enough to grow up entwined in all this, and seeing the end times of the Hacienda etc. I truly loved the 90s, they formed my life in a good way, everywhere something seemed to be happening, music and art seemed to be all around. Bands we knew were taking over the world it seemed, it was crazy, a good friend of mine had a pub quiz team, it was him, Noel Gallagher and Mani from the Stone Roses. He passed away a couple of years ago, he was in this band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-X5ekIFIazg His stories were amazing and he knew everyone it seemed

This was the more 90s version of the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1p-VeJPJKM My German Culture prof in university went to university in Manchester right at this time. We were talking about this and he told me about how he was having a birthday drink at Factories Dry Bar when Shaun Ryder and Bez came in, and then he found himself in Nottingham 2 days later. This reminded me of how Bernard Sumner (new order), Johnny Marr (The Smiths) and David Tennant (pet shop boys) formed a band called Electronic, which makes it super hard to find their stuff because there are a lot of hits for Electronic on youtube. But yea, having Sumner and Marr working together is basically my favorite thing ever as they are major parts of my 2 favorite bands. It's too bad neather worked with Robert Smith, Dave Gahan or Martin Gore to my knowlage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WBm8j4UJsSE This is pretty 90s as gently caress, with the flag guys, basic cgi randomness just rotating in the background https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmnWXhxlh14 This song is about Morrissey, which is pretty drat hilarious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=31Q-0fbJla4 No video but a pretty perfect 90s dance track https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXWZrHke8Hw Rap on Barney, Rap on. Oh remember when New Order's Regret was a huge hit, and they decided to pair it with the biggest show of the 90s, Baywatch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfI8pJQbcZQ Or had the offical England world cup anthem? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re4aDJL3heA

drat, if I hadn't been skimming through music chat because I wanted to see more cartoon chat I totally would have corrected that myself. I at least used to be a big Pet Shop Boys fan. Even saw them in concert. My ex-wife was big into that whole scene of music discussed above, and I didn't dislike it, so guess what 99% of our music we listened to in the 00's was?
