They were called gruesome racers or something. I vaguely recall that one of the characters was a guy standing with his arms out and two large wheels affixed to his hands. There was also a Twisted Metal character named Axel that had a similar design if I remember correctly. If anybody knows what they were called I would be interested in finding out. Mattel Attack Pack?

Unbelievably enough after years of intermittently trying to figure out what the hell those toys were I figured it out a second ago. They were called "Savage Mondo Blitzers" and they were monsters on skateboards, not cars. There does not appear to actually have been a monster with wheels for arms after all. Thank you kind goon although the Mattel Attack pack was not what I was looking for you inspired me to do one last google search that ultimately put me out of my misery

An fantasy art book that came out in the 80's or even earlier which was all horror art from Transylvania. The pictures included a screaming tree with a human face, a blue beast creature gnawing on a human arm and an amazon woman trying to fend off a winged creature with a spear while a space traveler with a laser pistol lay unconscious underneath her. Any ideas goons?

Oh, I got one. There was an old book of folk/fairy tales. They were all from some country, but I can't remember, and they were all pretty graphic and there were kind of spooky illustrations and stuff. I think it may have been Russia, but I can't find it. That book and all the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark were my go to fall reading material when I was a kid.

Got a wierd one, pretty hazy Pretty sure it was a kids show, possibly British Live action, late 70's early 80's, reminiscent of the old tripods show Involved an invisible alien hunter, that had a red triangle symbol, kind of like mosquitor from he man/she ra legs It was hunting a kid I think, who was hiding in some kind of above ground sci fi bunker. Maybe the hunter had glowing red eyes and pretty bad stealthing fx

YeahTubaMike posted:2) There was this one game -- I think it was for Genesis -- but you navigated this..world, of some sort. You were in a tank or a ship or something, and you had to collect three of a specific kind of token or something, to gain a specific power. Cut me some slack, I was like 7, and I only ever watched my uncle play it. That is 100% Blaster Master. It was originally released on the NES and was almost a Metroidvania game before the genre was really fleshed out. I never beat it but I remember playing it and loving the poo poo out of it.

This is a weird one - about 5, maybe 8 years ago a comedy sketch about twerking. A bunch of girls in short shorts twerking, it ends with them sitting on a kitchen counter and somehow making a sandwich by twerking a bunch of sandwich ingredients.

Hart from the Bram Stoker novel With an Afterword by Francis Ford Coppola and 8 pages of full-color movie photos It's basically the definitive version of Dracula.

I think it came from maybe the 90s? That would make the most sense. I remember playing a board game with my brother when we were both very young and it was a kind of like, D&D-lite style thing. You collected equipment cards and you went to 'dungeons' to try and assemble a key. Once you got the key, you ran to the center of the board, at which point you folded it over itself to go to some kind of shadow realm or something on the other side. Anyone who wasn't in the center was lost to the board flipping.

It featured a female vocalist and one of the lyrics of the chorus was: This one is bugging me because I swear I've heard this song before ages ago. Can you give any more details about the exact year you found the song? What genre did it sound like? I thought the song might be something from the the Steve Lillywhite Sessions on World Cafe, but afaik those only started ~2008 so I'm guessing that'd be too late. Maybe the song is from World Cafe in general? Unfortunately it's been around for like 30 years, so digging through the archives would be a pain. Of course, that's assuming the napster info was even remotely correct.

I saw it on CityTV years ago and it's a goofy fairy tale comedy from Quebec that's PG-13 at most. The 7 dwarves being Snow White's lovers is absolutely a thing in it.

There was a website 98-2000 called something like Beats For Geeks, which hosted video game theme parody music. They hosted some early MC Hawking, but also had a song about the original Sims called SimHillarity, with the refrain "Why oh why can't I leave it his block?!" I was in middle school, I remember showing it off in middle school computer lab. Casual ducking and internet archiving shows me nothing relevant.

I've been trying to find a goofy clarinet tune that was used in X-Play skits back in the mid aughts when it was still on Tech TV. They'd use it while Adam Sessler was doing a mock interview with some game dev or something, idk. I've pretty much given up on finding it at this point since describing an instrumental song by text is hard af for someone musically illiterate such as myself.

I think this may have been from Cracked or another competitor to Mad Magazine, maybe from the 80s or 90s - a comedy article that listed world nationalities, complete with (deliberately) insanely offensive caricatures and stereotypes.

PcLeague v2.1, a football (soccer) manager from 1994 made by Asle Rokstad. It was released in full as freeware by the creator 2008 or so, but all I can find if the dumb shareware that has disabled the save function. The closest I've come is  bundled up with 19k other DOS-games, but that's not what I want.

A PC game from the late 90s/early 00s where you controlled one of three different vehicles (I think it was an attack helicopter, a tank, and a jeep?) and tried to destroy or capture your opponents base. At any time you could return to your own base and switch vehicles. Top-down view, 2D or isometric graphics.
