Strange, that wasn’t my parents’ reaction. It’s not that they didn’t understand how cool 16-bits was, it’s more that they didn’t see a problem with 8-bits. Like they seriously thought 7 sprites per scan line was acceptable?? Parents just don’t understand.

edit: yeah i’m gonna just walk into middle school UNAWARE of the other 32 thousand colors? look like a loving prick in front of Jessica P.? jesus christ mom

Here’s an hour of super nes commercials, check the description for full list.

I love the Donkey Kong Country ad that zings Sega.

Definitely check out the Super Nes Doom ad, it’s crazy awesome.

Final Fantasy 3 is hilarious too. I could go on and on.

Ff7 commercials playing before a movie in a movie theatre was surreal.

I hated the fact that in Finland Nintendo-magazine switched to SUPER Nintendo/POWER magazine even before the SNES was launched here.

I also hated the fact that my parents decided to buy 486SX/25 with 8 Mbit of RAM and 400Mb hard drive instead of SNES. I was later proved wrong.

The computer was tax-exempt *and* heavily compensated because my father was an government employee and he used that same computer to do his work stuff at home.

This movie and it's "Hop To It" song have stuck with me in a way that probably indicates some sort of psychological issue. The movie is absolute praxis when it comes to 90s.

I always wondered what the story was, unless otherwise informed, I assume she was some producers girlfriend who was also a softcore star that cut a dance track. The way she dresses just reminds me of how women in skinemax movies dressed at the time.

That character has been around for 10 or 15 years by now. Incredibly successful for advertising. I hope that actress has done well for herself in the role. Gonna be hard for an audience to see her as anyone else, in the US at least. Maybe she's playing Lady Macbeth in Canada for all I know.

She was in a few early episodes of Mad Men.

She was also in Melvin Goes to Dinner, which I enjoyed at the time (2003ish). Not sure if it holds up, but it was directed by Bob Odenkirk and had some other well known actors in it.

She's in a couple of episodes of Angel too. I'd bet being Flo is steadier than bit-parting.

If we’re gonna talk about progressive insurance commercials, the snarky female that’s not Flo is Natalie Palamides, and she has a special on Netflix called “Nate”.
