For the past 6 years I've been trying to find this tower defense game from the early to mid 2000's. It used simple colors and had a kind of dark blue theme, used line drawn geometric shapes, and it ran as a executable on my computer. It had over 50 levels, and it wasn't Geometry Defense. Sadly I lost it several computers ago. I think I got it from these forums way back then.

From many pages agojonathan posted:Ive been trying to find some sort of show, at least an hour long, where Tiff Needell tries to decide which is his favourite Ferrari. It has a bunch of them in an outside courtyard and he goes over the history of some of them like the old Dino's etc. And then he tries to decide which one he likes the most. Are you sure it was Tiff? Because what you describe sounds exactly like how I remember Alain de Cadenet's Victory by Design. I believe this clip is from Victory by Design Ferrari: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZf7BX6df74 There are other marques are on YouTube to give you an idea of the format

On US cable TV in the mid 90's there was a (I think) anime where a kid is showing either an alien or robot or robot alien around in a city and explaining stuff, I remember clearly him pointing at and explaining traffic lights and because it was the future the traffic lights were square. That's the only part of the thing I remember but I remember watching the whole thing and really enjoying it, and have been looking for it ever since.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:NieA Under 7? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NieA_7 Nope, I was really big into anime around when NieA_7 came out (actually owned it on DVD) and by then was already wondering what I had seen on TV years earlier. What I saw was a totally different vibe, probably an 80's sci-fi anime aimed at younger people (but not 100% sure).

what blows my mind is that the twitter account Anime VHS Bots tweeted a while ago a series which seemed like a "young person traffic safety" cover but gently caress me if i have any idea how long ago that was.

I want to say that it wasn't focused on traffic safety, it was just one part of a general "explaining how earth people/humans do things" sequence with some kid who finds an alien or builds a robot or something

There was a game I had on my Macintosh (but I think it might have gotten ported elsewhere) but it was a first person game, you were driving a tank, the whole game was wire frame and you could upgrade your tank. I think what I had was the demo.

When I was in middle school they had either the shareware or an older version of Spectre on the macs, I remember going to the Service Merchandise store which was on the way between school and my house with a floppy disk in my pocket and copying the full or updated game from the demo computer in the store, because at that time it was preinstalled on new macs. Had some great networked games with that while we were supposed to be learning spreadsheets in claris works or some poo poo. There was also a game called crystal quest that made a really sexual moaning sound when you cleared a level and a whole bunch of others that were passed around on virus infested floppy disks. Owning a mac seemed so fun back then, when you were stuck with a 286 at home

pram posted:ive been looking for this forever: PHIZ KALIFA posted:Hey, general question for folks looking for ads, what makes you want to rewatch old advertising? Reading back through the last few pages to see if I could help anyone before making my own request about an ad, I figured it had been a few years since my last look and found a (mediocre) version in two searches this time (I left a note to myself in February 2016 saying "still nothing", the youtube video is from September 2016). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfWw0VeMgKg In my case, it was the whistling tune in the background. For some reason that stuck with me, it was like 30 seconds of peaceful happiness. Turns out the version I've been whistling all these years has slowly drifted from the original tune, so the real one in the ad is a bit disappointing. The only reason I had a chance of finding it is because some guy wrote an unusually-detailed piece about it at the time - https://www.independent.co.uk/news/media/advertising-jumping-naked-off-a-cliff-edge-that-will-do-nicely-89855.html so thanks to him I suppose. One day I'd like to track down an "old" (Shockwave probably) multiplayer tank game, except I almost certainly already have the answer... in a handwritten teenage diary with levels of angst that would be fatal to an adult. And some other things are declared as "lost" (e.g. an episode of The Baskervilles), so no point wasting time on them when they'll turn up in that Lost Media wiki if they're found. Edit: I've played that youtube video a few times now and, having gotten over the tune's wrongess, somehow the bit I like the most is the "cinema style" crackle/buzz that's overlaid on the audio of this version Stupid nostalgia uvar fucked around with this message at 11:30 on Feb 16, 2020 |

It was similar in aesthetic to this game, but it was not this game: https://freegamer.blogspot.com/2012/09/simple-quick-gpled-java-tower-defense.html The grid is similar and the turret design is very similar, but this game is from 2012 so it's not this one. I remember there was a feature where you could release the enemy wave before the countdown for the next wave was up so if you were itching to get on with the game you could. It was a feature I hadn't seen in a TD game before, but is now standard.

Oh man I just thought of a tough one, back in the late 90's or early 2000s we had this long MP3 of a kind of DJ mix/mashup (before that word was invented) called "the high score" which featured a lot of the weirder/underground music of the day. It was really well done and a lot of the songs used were surprising because it was really eclectic but flowed seamlessly. It wasn't like a generic mix of techno songs, there was some techno but also like indie rock and hip hop etc. I kinda remember a friend saying his brother or brother's friend made it so if that was the case it may not have had wide release at all. I had the MP3 at one point but lost it in a drive crash

Each one is done live by a different artist, everyone from Venetian Snares to Q-Tip, and most of them throw in all kinds of cool curveballs, like mixing "Owner of a Lonely Heart" into "Hustlin" etc

I've had this dumb racist meme (probably from SA) in my "comedy" images folder since like 2002: I know the text is a reference to something, like an anime song or video game engrish ala all your base, because I used to get what it was referring to but over time I forgot and every time I see the image it drives me nuts and has been for years. Googling turns up nothing and neither does asking anyone I know who was extremely online back then.

An image I saw a while back making fun of how mutant powers sometimes evolve in X-Men comics. It wasn't particularly well drawn, but it had three panels: -In the first, two mutants are talking and one says he has a power related to language and that it's not very useful. -In the next panel, they're fighting some baddies and the second character asks where the first one (with language powers) learned how to fight, to which the first replies that his power also extends to "body language", so now he knows how to fight. -The third panel has the language-powered character exhibiting god-like powers, saying he understands the "language of the universe", or something along those lines.

So when I was elementary school there was this book that I used to check out, kids picture book about a family of pilots who did work for movies. For some strange reason I thought it might be French but translated? Book was from the 80s. I remember a big part about a guy who was landing a Corsair on a carrier, and the pictures actually showed this dude doing it. There was family drama that the guy didn’t want to actually try and trap the plane on the carrier but ultimately caved and I think he biffs it? Also lots of stuff of Stampe SV4s. It was almost like a reality show in that it was really these people who did this but also kind of a fictional storyline laid over the top? Anyone could help me with this I would love it.

I have been searching for a video for a while. Older but not elderly white guy with an acoustic guitar, singing a song about chemtrails. 'Greenscreened' in front of imagery, though I can't remember anything distinct from it. It was on Youtube, but a distressing number of things come up for "chemtrail song" and the like. It's probably lost to the ages, but I still hope, because I need to inflict it on a friend of mine.
