Okay, so...

There's this old video game, that I can't remember the name of. It was a side-scroller and the plot had something to do with castles and saving a princess or some fantasy poo poo like that. Ninjas may have been involved too although I'm fairly sure the castle element at least was European style. I THINK it was a SNES game, but it may have been Sega Genesis.

Anyway,

The thing I remember most about this game is that it had these stages (I think one of them was the very first stage in the game) where you were outside running on top of a castle wall or something. I remember it because the background music sounds eerily similar to part of the lava stage music from Donkey Kong Country 2. The part that starts around the end of the 0:17 mark in this video.

Like ever since I was a little kid I remember playing DKC 2 and thinking the Hot Head Hop music was based on this other song, because they sound so similar.

Does anyone know the name of this other game I'm thinking of? This has been bugging me for YEARS.

This seems dubious, but just in case. https://youtu.be/CJbij1IobKY

Time Lord has music by same composer as DKC 2 and the first level is very much on top of a castle wall. That said, the music doesn't sound similar to me, so unless there's some deeper subtleties you are picking up then it's unlikely to be this.

BITCH



I think I found it, or something very close to it. Looks like it might be one of the Dragon's Lair games, maybe this one unless a similar track shows up elsewhere in the series.

Right about 9:40 in this video is something that sounds similar to what I remember.

The thumbnail also looks pretty similar to the stage I remember.

Looking for a video clip I saw on YouTube, I think it's from a Korean game show or something. It has Jang Dongmin playing go-stop with an older lady and one other person. The goal is that they're not supposed to speak in Korean, only English, and they get to flick each other if they speak in Korean.

"I never met a monster I didn't like"

An early internet sketch. It might have been posted in any of the "find old stuff" threads but i haven't found it after looking. It's a sketch probably called "lesbian boyfriend" Someone rings a doorbell and opens the door "let me introduce you to my lesbian boyfriend" and then there is a dancing montage. The guy opening the door says 'goddamn!" and that stuck for a reason.

This could be the most obscure thing you can imagine, because it involves either Canadian or British music videos, but:

It was a music video for a song that I immediately forgot the name of. It featured lots of fast-forwarded footage of a path running through a winter countryside, possibly next to a mountain, because I remember one side of the path being a steep hill covered in snow. There were also a lot of segments taken from classic cartoons, including one scene where a toy soldier steps forward and his heart comes out of his chest on a spring. It also had shots of the singer singing the song; I think that he had long blond hair. A possible lyric might have been "I lost the princess", but I'm not sure.

This would have been on Canadian music television in the Eighties, but I know that MuchMusic had a lot of content from British music television, so it might have been British instead.

Looking at it now I’m seeing clips of that game using the boat with a piece of hardtack, and I definitely remember getting hardtack in this demo/game. My memory isn’t great but it really is looking like it has to be Wrath of the Gods. Odd that it showed up as a demo on multiple CD-ROMs like that.

Cheers, thanks for the help!
The original poster might not see this reply to his question from about 6 months ago, but who knows?

It actually seems that you are actually remembering two separate games as one. The other game you were thinking about set in the past with a time traveler from the future who disguises himself is The Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time. There was a demo of the game, set in ancient Atlantis before it sank, included on the Riven (sequel to Myst) CD-ROM . Which is probably what you played and mixed up with the older game.

It isn't this, but I have to suggest anyway, Ray of Light by Madonna? (Obviously, not that. Sorry. I just saw it so clearly in my head from your description.)

In the '90s, one of the tech companies had a little instrumental ditty that they used in their commercials, but I don't remember which one it was. I don't think it was Intel, because their four note theme hasn't changed. I'd like to find one of their commercials on Youtube if I can.

Here is an online sequencer of the tune: https://onlinesequencer.net/3288456. I think the actual tune was a bit faster and more legato than this, but it's pretty close.

This one is incredibly annoying to me because 1: I saw it maybe 3 months ago and 2: it came from a link on these very forums and i can't remember which thread it was in.

It was a series of stories from a person who worked at Michaels during the great glue shortage of 2017ish, as all kids everywhere suddenly fell into an obsession with slime. The blog also followed them as they quit Michaels and went to work as a florist, picking up along the way some increasingly weird coworkers and customers.

İt had some really funny moments, like whenever they led slime-making classes or had crazy requests from customers at the florist job (usually from startlingly rich people with no idea of how flowers, uh, work). They also had a coworker who died of cancer and their telling of it made me tear up. Just, really good writing.

They had nice art for all the chapters of the Michaels story, and i think it was on the same website as some of their original fiction also. İt was definitely written out as full stories, not really blog posts.

İf anyone remembers even which thread this was linked in it would be really helpful, i accidentally deleted my history before bookmarking and now i miss it dearly

Story of an old opera singer, iirc he was originally a footballer who tried out as a laugh but the instructor/tutor/whatever thought he had potential and took him on as a student and he eventually became world famous.

Went something like first day he went to his mom and said happily that he thinks he's a tenor, then the next he goes back and says his instructor thinks he might be a baritone, then the third day he goes back nearly crying and says somberly that his instructor thinks he might be a bass. Since at the time, bass singers in operatic productions were almost exclusively villains or bit parts and never the lead.

I swear this was something I read, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out who it might be.

A comedy (almost certain) where someone does a dramatic read of "hope.... doesn't float". I want to say it was animated but no googling has turned up anything on the usual suspects and even a few of the more off-beat ones

I think it was an bit on an old adult swim show (I think either sealab 2021 or space ghost) where someone asks a question and then there's a cut to a main character who goes "BOI-OI-OI-OING" a bunch of times. It was an incredibly stupid bit and now I can't get it out of my head until I can find the clip.

If it was Space Ghost I thought it would be with Moltar or Zorak. Aka

Looking for this animated short from the 1970’s (possibly 1960’s) that featured mostly abstract shapes moving an interacting in an urban setting. Lots of purple. Tone was one of fear, danger, strife. No words that I can remember. Just music. Lots of repeating sequences.
