Der Kyhe posted:On CDs the glues and lacquers used to keep the layers together oxidize and get dimmer, making the CD harder to read. Other reasons: A lot of people would leave CDs lying around in between listens, and not put them back into the case. If you were at a party at any time since CD players became a thing, you know what I mean. And what a bunch of those people would do is to put the CD label-side down, so that the playing surface wouldn't get scratched. But that was a misconception; the data layer is protected by a thick layer of polycarbonate on the bottom of the CD and it's much easier to damage the data layer by damaging the label side of the disc. In the late 80s-early 90s, there was a large number of discs that started going bad due to a manufacturing defect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compact_disc_bronzing

Were the Benedictines responsible for the sample in Enigma's songs, or were Enigma popular enough to make the Benedictine recording happen?

My cousin played Return to Innocence at my birthday party. He said "this song speaks about America's taking of native american lands, which I am strongly against" and I was all 'ok can you show me how to finish Ninja Gaiden II now??'

For me it was NIN, Depeche Mode and only later Nirvana. Didn't get into the band until I was in college. Screaming along with Kurdt's vocals on the drive to school.

When I saw a box set of the first two seasons for $4, I couldn't help myself. What I've rewatched ... it isn't that bad. I'm sure there is cringey stuff, but Duckman himself was never presented as an upstanding individual.

I don't think i've met anyone younger than me that knows anything about it. But nerds my age always talk fondly of it. Though everyone agrees on King of the Hill. Duckman its actually pretty good, but it did get Family Guy levels of meanness sometimes.

I remember the sperm donation episode and literally nothing else about the series. Does mission hill make the cutoff or does some of it coming out after 9/11 make it ineligible?

Volcott posted:I remember the sperm donation episode and literally nothing else about the series. I say because it was written and developed in the 90s, and takes a lot of its visual and other style cues from 90s stuff, I say it counts. And I loving LOVE MISSION HILL, I certainly saw myself as somewhat Andy and somewhat Kevin. It's also crazy ahead of its time, like there is an episode where the central story has a MMORPG as its focus. Who the gently caress in 99 or 2000 knew what that was? I barely knew something like Ultima Online or Dark Age of Camelot existed.

I bring you Hanna-Barbera's twin failures:   At least people liked Duckman. Capitol Critters sucked and nobody even saw Fish Police. See also: Family Dog, which aired at the same time and also crashed and burned, but my sister was upset by its loss root beer has a new favorite as of 12:47 on Jan 24, 2019 |

I don't really remember much other than the family went out one night, and they came back and had been robbed but the dog was just chilling, so everyone was mad at him. Then they went out again, and the same thing happened.

No, the dog on the original short was a terrible guard dog, but a lovable and happy dog otherwise. After failing to protect the house again, he was sent to guard dog school to become "quivering, snarling, white-hot ball of canine terror." He ends up joining the criminals and begins a life of crime in the "Dog Gang". There is a happy ending.
