HolHorsejob posted:ok but seriously, I watched a trailer on steam for this one game that I think was vaguely tower-defense kinda thing? You are a horrific no-mouth-must-scream type AI machine monstrosity bent on enslaving and destroying humanity, and you kidnap people to run your machinery. Aliens try to steal humans from you, and you somehow try to prevent this? It's a really grim game. Anyone know what it's called? Human Resources maybe? The trailer looked dope as gently caress. Then it got cancelled, or its kickstarter failed, or something.

Way back in the late 90s-early 00s, preteen me and my also-preteen brothers were looking around unattended at a Meijer in southern IN and came across a clearance rack with this plastic sculpture of an angry troll, designed to be mounted to a car dashboard. On the front of its base was a little button that, when pressed, would play a number of insulting phrases, such as "IDIOT DRIVER ALERT!!!", "JERK!", "SCHMUCK!", and our favorite, "BLOW IT OUT YOUR EAR!". As small children with no parental supervision, this was the funniest poo poo imaginable, and we mashed that button for a solid 15 minutes laughing at every single new phrase that would come out of the thing. Our mother sadly was not as enamored with it as we were, and put it back on the shelf despite our pleading to take it home with us. Since then, I've never seen another one. One of these days, if I can find one, I'll get it as a Christmas gift for one of my sibs.

I still think about the pocket-sized device that claimed to let you make GROSS SENTENCES! and it was like push three different rows of buttons and each row gave you a beginning, middle, and end of a sentence The way the guy said some of the lines was so funny that I found myself mashing the beginning and ending segments over and over to delight in my new creation: "I'M GONNA MAKE... PUKE!" I wish I had been like 11 when this happened, but I was absolutely at least 14.

sigher posted:So this just popped into my head, but my ex from 3~ years ago used to listen to a singer who has this really baby soft voice and sings over these really ambient lo-fi EDM tunes that I think are written for her. I remember looking her up way back when and I think she's from Russian, or has Russian parents and is around 20 or something. I can't for the live of me think of her name and nothing I search brings up anything. Bits and pieces of her music are stuck in my head waiting to come out but I can't remember enough to actually piece together a melody or lyrics to help in my search. So I had a strange epiphany where some of the lyrics just popped into my head for some reason and I searched them and sure enough, I found out the name of the singer: Alina Baraz, I'm sure no one else gives a poo poo but just thought if anyone wanted to look up her smooth as music they could. I'm laughing that I remembered her biography more than her drat name.

I realise this is a super long shot but several years ago I posted in this thread (or possibly one of it's predeccessors) about a piece of music in the background of a youtube video. I finally managed to find identify it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ks1-7ioBHoQ However, I still have never been able to pinpoint where I knew it from previously. I know it was from a TV advert but I would really like to know what advert it was for no reason other than it has been bugging me for years. It was an ad run on British TV, my guess would have been around 2010 but could have been a few years either side of that. I feel like it could have been a Christmas advert but that might just be the twinkly music telling me that. Something in my mind says it was for a fabric softener but that could be way off.

I'm certain it was an advert, I can just about hear the voice over in my head. Something tells me it might have been for a fabric softener but I'm not sure if that's just my brain filling in blanks. There's an advert I marginally remember from around the right time period that had (bizarrely creepy looking) shadow puppets in a snowy forest. This music would certainly match that motif but damned if I can find that advert (or remember what it was for) either. Edit - I can say witha. degree of certainty it would have been an advert for some kind of product, or brand rather than a trailer/advert for a TV series.

Tea Bone posted:I realise this is a super long shot but several years ago I posted in this thread (or possibly one of it's predeccessors) about a piece of music in the background of a youtube video. I checked on tunefind which lists every time a song is used in a movie or tv show but unfortunately they don't do commercials.  Not really an answer to your question but back in the late 90s there was this Liberty Travel commercial that played a few seconds of a song that I thought sounded amazing. No lyrics, so I had nothing to go on. I literally sat around and recorded TV all day long to try and catch the commercial and eventually I did. I had an ATI All In Wonder video card and I hooked up the vcr to my computer so I would have the recording forever in case it would somehow help me to be able to find it one day. I loved the song so much that I actually went out and bought an outfit from Abercrombie and Fitch that "matched" with the vibe of the song (lmfao don't ask, my brain was hosed as a teenager). After a few years I got to the point where I just assumed the song was made for the commercial, and I'd never find anything out about it. About 20 years later my wife is watching the movie My Father the Hero and the loving song comes on! I wait for the end credits and....it's a loving Baha Men song! Yes that's correct, the dudes who did "Who Let the Dogs Out". In my defense, the song is from 1993 and Who Let the Dogs Out came out in like 1999 or something, so I'm not even sure the band members were even the same. But yeah that's a huge embarrassment of mine even though I never shared it with anyone. My 20 year white whale was a loving Baha Men song. I'm sure zero people will click on it but in case anyone is curious what the song was, here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs2-p2MAq5k In my defense even after finally hearing it with lyrics I still think it's a great song. I still have no clue why I was so obsessed with the 30 second instrumental.

They were these slate blue shorts with flower prints on them and these thick white lines going down the sides of the legs. I remember looking for them on ebay as long ago as 2001 and never being able to find them again. I guess that's another white whale! Lol

Yeah it was 100% that music, but funnily enough this is the shadow puppet advert I mentioned above and couldn't find. So thanks for solving that one. Edit - I also assumed you got the year wrong on that because no is that ad 20 years old... But no I did some googling and it did indeed run in 2000, so my estimation of 2010ish for the actual ad I'm looking for could be way off.

Trying to remember the name of this ghoulishly awful Christian/Afghanistan War propaganda movie. There was a scene where people were in an auditorium watching a playback of a solider overseas wishing them a Merry Christmas or something and then he just gets blown the gently caress up mid-sentence. It's escaping me and those descriptors aren't turning anything up when searching for it.

Which I just did because I thought he was in a bunch of Christian movies, but nope. His career as an actor has been pretty much dead for 20 years. Is it Indivisible?

There’s huge media infrastructure churning this poo poo out, and it’s totally hidden unless you’re fundamentalist and subscribe to PureFlix or whatever. But holy hell that’s wild. The bad boy reading scripture, the injured soldier standing up and saluting at the end and the flag taking Baby Jesus’ place. Christploitation indeed.

This is a super long shot, but I'm looking for an old, obscure (and now apparently removed) youtube video titled "The Saddest King of Nothing" or maybe "Saddest King of Nothing". It was just a bunch of stills and clips from the documentary "The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters" set to what could charitably be called 'music'. The description of the video was "I enjoy hating this guy and you will too". The dialogue "he sells his hot sauce, he sells himself" was repeated throughout the video. It was online from at least 2011-2014. It was not a particularly good or well made video, but it has some nostalgia value for my husband and I, and it would be awesome if some goon just happened to have it downloaded on an old hard drive or something.

Gonna give this another shot, cause I'm not sure if it got drowned out by the discussion at the time or if it just really is hard to find (although it genuinely is): Artwork of what I remember as a girl in a car, possibly cadillac convertible. She's not sexy and it's not an erotic artwork in the standard sense; not slim, not fat, actually quite unattractive, but very happy and chill. The contrast seemed to be the point. Probably red hair or blonde, possibly freckles. The style is neither very cartoony nor lifelike, but realistic, in a very European comics sort of way. Competently drawn and colorized, too. I seem to recall the artist has a Spanish or Portuguese name and had made a few artworks with this character, who he also named. And I don't think it was explicitly a fetish thing but this is probably how I find out it was, or so the deviantart searches that I'm doing for due diligence and that are working out in every way exactly like I expected would suggest My Lovely Horse fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Nov 19, 2021 |
