These old videos with the commercials intact are actually kind of awesome. I used to always try to pause the recording to leave out the commercials back in the day but they're actually kind of a neat time capsule Buy this fluorescent yellow car, from Hyundai. YES, HYUNDAI!

I used to always try to pause the recording to leave out the commercials back in the day but they're actually kind of a neat time capsule One day I fell down a YouTube rabbit hole. There are entire channels which are nothing but blocks of commercials from old programs. It really is fascinating, and it really amazes me that in the late 70's and early 80's vinyl as a finish on cars was advertised as a feature.

Let alone a brand new one. They feel like they're aimed at such a relatively small audience. But I guess the size of the purchase makes the advertisement worth it somehow. They're mostly based on encouragement of conspicuous consumption too, they just annoy the crap out of me.

I'm late to CCG chat, but my friends and I were such absolute loving melvins that we blew way too much time and money on, of all things, the Sim City card game  I still think the cards look neat in a weird, sterile, sorta haunted way, but I don't have any of them anymore.

Past that you get into people modifying it, which like, of course something you specifically modify will sound good, or people denying it's anything special at all.

Sir Lemming posted:But clearly, the makers of Jihad didn't see the crash coming They changed the name long before then. Which is why my friends and I got into it. Local store was selling the old first edition cards with the different name/card backs for cheap. We'd also heard it was based on the same thing as Kindred: The Embraced and were the right kind of nerd to think that was awesome.

Pookah posted:Aww... I know. I’m sorry. It was almost as shocking to me as the fact that I personally know someone who read it in the first place. Speaking of, kinda, I need to find a “help me identify this book children’s book I read in the ‘90s and only half-remember” thread. Because I recall this book that was sort of sci-fi, in the “school kid gets sucked into alien stuff” genre, that I really liked when I was about ten but the only detail I recall is that sometimes the character(s) would put weirdly colored stamps on their forehead(s) which did something? It wasn’t the Aliens Ate My Homework series.

One of my kids is really into the ‘90s Mario show. No idea why, but my god is it bad. I can’t figure out why I was so pissed about missing it to go to church, apart from the fact that it was obviously less soul-crushing.

Wheat Loaf posted:Yeah, what was the figure on Final Fantasy VII - it was two discs on the PS1 but would've needed something like 10 N64 cartridges? Super Mario 64 at launch was 5.7 MB, or 35 Mbit, so it could fit on a 64 Mbit cart. They went as big as 512 Mbit, or 64 proper MB, for later games. FF7 was on 3 CDs, or about 2100 MB/16,000 Mbit. 10 N64 carts would have been a serious underestimate, you’d have gotten all of disc 1 on ten carts. Yeah, optimization would have brought that down a ton, and most of that space was FMV, but PS1 games only had to disc swap one time to have their total available storage size be a whole gigabyte per game. The N64 was struggling to make 1/10 the capacity of a single CD cost effective up until the day it died.

There was a show that aired in canada in the mid 90s on YTV (Youth Television, kind of a combination of Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network, and MTV, but not that good) called Video and Arcade Top 10. It actually showed kids playing games and some tips and reviews about games too. Before there was Giant Bomb or The Know there is where you had to go to see games in motion. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbxXmMgwtaU Look at all those 3rd party controllers in the opening They also had The Anti-Gravity Room which talked about video games but also talked about genre TV, movies and comics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbxXmMgwtaU YTV was not actually that bad, it was the place I'd see Daria. Its funny, Daria really spoke to me for my 90s teen experience, but I am always perplexed to find out it was mostly broadcast in the 2000s.

That n64 bus in the opening there? I had that at my 14th birthday party. I don't know how my parents managed it, because they wouldn't let me enter tv contests. Man that was the best party. Cake and pop and snacks and video games and sugar.

The best was stuff like the English dub of Angel Cop where they got a bunch of British voice actors doing questionable American accents and being told to "15 it up" by putting in a whole bunch of gratuitous swearing. Stuff like that is probably simultaneously responsible for the view that all anime was nothing but tits and gore and the attitude amongst fans that it was all supposed to be for adults and 4Kids (  ) had cut all the swearing and violence out of, like, Pokémon.(Though I think stuff like fan translations of Dragon Ball Z where characters calling each other - to cite one example - "candy-rear end faggots" is more of a 00s thing than a 90s thing.  )
