BACK IN MY DAY you could watch the TV Guide/Prevue channel and see all the listings in 5 minutes. Still though I clearly remember sitting there for 5 minutes waiting for a certain channel to come up then without fail would be distracted or what not and miss it. Nth Doctor posted:Hackers owns. I work "Hacking the Gibson" into casual conversation all the time. Me too! My wireless network is actually called the Gibson. Also thanks to whoever posted that link way back when to make your own homemad Gak. I look forward to having weird residue on my hands after I make a bunch of fart sounds.

simosimo posted:The Crash Dummies gameboy game was also brilliant. I got this game for Christmas when I was a kid and it was great. It was ALWAYS there when I wasn't in the mood to play anything else and was always rewarding. That drat space ship level was a bitch though, but a fun bitch, the Maelstrom type one.

If an ice cream struck rolled up to my place of work, this is still what I would order. Then maybe a drumstick, fudgecicle, and so on.

umalt posted:I know that American Smarties (also known by their true name, Rockets Damnit. I'm not too far into my Monday morning and my mind has already been blown. Rockets seem to make much more sense as a name, but considering how many Smarties (American) I got from getting haircuts or parents going through the bank drive through as a kid, they will always be Smarties to me.

DesperateDan posted:I loved the poo poo out of that show as a kid, but being in the UK I only ever seemed to get episodes from the first two seasons. I grow older, and manage to pirate the remaining three seasons. One of my best friends met the guy who played Remmie at an airport once. He said his hair was gleaming a mile away and is still pissed he didn't get the balls up to say something to him. Sliders kicked so much rear end. Looking back on it it is pretty drat Dr Who-ish, but I guess it's a pretty simple reset every episode friendly formula so it doesn't bother me too much. The combined Quinn and his brother (new actor of course) was awful and I couldn't stand him. Thankfully ol Cryin Man was still around at that point

It was never great, but gently caress if they didn't manage to utterly ruin it with alien rapecamps and most of the main cast leaving.

Metal Loaf posted:I've heard that one of the reasons Fox passed on pursuing a new Doctor Who series in 1996 after the TV movie starring Paul McGann was because they decided to renew Sliders for a third season instead. I actually own all five seasons of Sliders on DVD (I also have all the Highlander sequels Yeah! I scored the Highlander TV series (probably bootleg) at a flea market years ago along with Quantum Leap and I've watched them both several times so rock on. Speaking of 90s shows, one of the hardest shows to track down copies of that I was finally able to score not too long ago, freaking First Wave. I love love love the Outer Limits-esqueness of it and how dark yet 90s campy everything is, it's great.

) because when I became interested in the series, I found a guy on eBay who was selling the entire series for about £20 and got the lot at once. Seemed like a pretty good deal to me.
to be honest.

De Nomolos posted:Anyone with any exposure to Chicago as a kid has one goal: to play the Bozo Grand Prize Game. This one's from Michigan, but it was the same sort of game everywhere. Yes! I live closer to St Louis but I still watched the Bozo Show every morning before school as a kid. Prizes I remember: - brand new crisp $100 bill (so dope) - mountain bike - COWBOY BOOTS I used to love when a 13 year old boy scout would get on there (normally it was a 5-7 year old) and totally kick the games rear end.

I used to watch the poo poo out of GGI when I would stay home sick from school or for other whatever reason been off and able to watch Nick Jr. I still clearly remember watching Ranger Mike teach whats his name's son how to put a crab to sleep by waving his hand in front of them. Also cool as poo poo that Ron and Natalie were married on the show and in real life.

Morn posted:Anyone else put up with the roast beef sandwiches to get all of the Apollo 13 Saturn V pog holder from Hardee's? Hell yes I did! I've still got mine laying around. It's in the same jar I keep all of my fancy/special/rare coins in. It's funny seeing silver dollars, half dollars, special pennies/nickels, then an Apollo XIII coin or a Lucky Charms Olympics coin.
