emSparkly posted:Cool stuff. Considering how they were the original publishers of Telltale's first big hit, the ad campaign they ran, and the gently caress huge library they had on offer, you'd think they'd be better remembered. Somehow I'm the only person I know who ever subscribed to it. gametap was ftw. I remember them for being sort of the next in a series of publishers to get tricked by cyan into thinking uru was going to be a success

Asking again about a piece of "lost" media from 'classic' SA that I remember seeing: pictures of a skinny man in an Army uniform, with a slightly poo poo-eating grin, who had married a large woman. It must have been a Photoshop Phriday thing because there was a a Photoshop of the bride so that she was thinner and more conventionally attractive, and something about how that was the way she looked with "beer goggles". Not sure if the groom was a Goon or just some random schmo that was found online. Even though the jokes were pretty cruel I'm wondering if anyone else remembers this? e: The picture was before my time. I lurked the forums quite a bit between roughly 2014-2016 before I actually joined, but this may have been before that period of time.

so I don't really consider this a white whale, but it is something I would like to find: there was a show on what I think was network television between 5 and 10 years ago, although I want to say maybe closer to 5? I have really vague memories of this, but I saw one episode I think (maybe this was a movie?!?) but it took place in a kind of dystopian future, and for some reason there was a person hiding either themselves/other people/maybe a bomb or weapon or something? inside a truck that was going to be x-rayed at a checkpoint, and everyone was nervous about whether or not it would get through. I wish I remembered more details. I think aliens might have been involved somehow? I really remember thinking it was a cool idea at the time and wanting to see more but not ever getting around to it. and because my memory is so vague, it's been fruitless trying to look it up.

Are you perhaps thinking of Children of Men? It doesn’t feature aliens but it is very dystopian and has several instances of checkpoints and other interactions with security services as the protagonists try and smuggle themselves/other people, as you put it.

I can't remember if the people were hiding from aliens or they were some kind of lower class or both? I have done too much drugs in my life to remember things in great detail. I don't recommend it, unless you like having fun.

Falling Skies and Defiance were both sort of post-apoc sci fi TV shows with aliens involved, but on cable, that would be close to the window of time. Revolution was on network TV but no aliens and a big deal about that show was the lack of tech in the post-apoc, from what I recall, so having an X-ray or a bomb seemed unlikely unless that's what made them both a big deal for the story of the episode. If it was going back slightly further than 10 years: The V remake series. Not dystopian, but paranoia and conspiracy.

CA ~2004-2006 There was a youtube video titled "Buttholes" of two HS kids who made a silly home video playing these exaggerated characters. One was always laying "traps" for the other one and when one of them was caught by an invisible trap, he'd just wig out on the floor screeching. One of them was named Will "Will is always laying traps for me" says the victim

I think it might've been "rear end HOLES" not "BUTT HOLES". Feel free to search that on youtube until you find it or die of old age.

Anyone got the full original dirty cowboy vid the SA recreation was based on? Original is taken down from YouTube, I found just the dance in a 59 second clip on tiktok but I'm looking for the original one Abraham posted with the short intro about rock n roll and the cut off ending at some mall food court, should be about 1min40s. (I was listening to a dj play something last night and part of some electronica she played sounded just like the dance song, which took me 15min to remember, and now I wanna see the full original again)

There was a comment on the goon remake video from the original producers of the video/music. They put a link to a bandcamp album of all the songs from the video, California Big Hunks.

An old PBS bumper satirizing Antiques Roadshow. The guest has a ceramic blob and describes it as a sculpture by "Jean Claude Dibby Doo". The appraiser looks at it and says, "That's an ashtray. It's worth about a buck."

An old DOS program for learning Japanese kana (definitely katakana, probably also hiragana). It had a review portion, where helpful mnemonics were introduced for each character, and then a multiple-choice quiz portion. It was all DOS text, with hand-drawn kana (i.e., not drawn from any double-byte character bank). One mnemonic I remember clearly involved telling シ (shi) apart from ツ (tsu): "She is equal" (because the two top strokes of "shi" are more horizontal than in "tsu"). This would have been the first half of the '90s. I swear I had it on a floppy, and I swear I copied all my floppies to my archive disk, and yet.

My sister is trying to figure out the name of a movie she saw a long time ago. Here’s her description: “Ok this is what I remember. I saw the movie on tv in the 80s. The movie itself may have been made in the late 70s or 80s. It started with a spoiled young teen girl who is angry at her parents. Her parents are having a party at their house and the girl gets into the laundry shute, I think to hide from them. There is some kind of disaster that causes everyone in the world to disappear. The girl has fallen asleep and when she wakes up she is alone. She leaves the house and goes into the city, ending up in a mall where she tries to steal clothes and stuff from the empty mall. She is stopped by a man who looks like a biker. I am pretty sure he rides a motorcycle. I think they rnd up banding together, a bratty teen and this rough biker. It had an Escape from LA vibe and could have been a TV movie.“ Any ideas?

Everyone disappears overnight, the main (female) lead rides a bike, they go to an empty mall to "shop". There's parts which don't line up but I don't know how bad your sister's memory is.

She's pretty sure that's not it and the main girl was younger, like 14-15 years old.

Neither of these are likely, but I'll toss them out there since they are in the window of time and content: https://www.neverdiemedia.com/products/playing-with-language-games-in-japanese (Circa 1992, but on CD Rom) The other I cannot find a thing for other than a title "Japanese I" which was released for IBM PCs in 1991 (so mostly DOS/Floppies were still active) by "Education Tutorial Software". It was based off an Amiga version which came out a year earlier and the only thing I find for it is a copy of the loose disk on eBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/174236972962 edit: I tried to find a few others: Kanji-Flash/BTJ https://uwpress.wisc.edu/books/0303.htm Has a small pic of a few screenshots. Descriptions seem to have floppies and DOS. There are some other sites that seem to have better screenshots if you search the title, though. edit 2: I kept digging and found an archive of an old magazine from the early nineties called "Mangaijin". Specifically, a PDF of issue number 8 has a section starting on page 17 with a pretty large list of Japanese instructional programs from the time with some descriptions of the features. https://penpal.jp/go/mangajin/Mangajin-issue-08.pdf JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 12:01 on Sep 26, 2023 |
