There were was a toyline back in the mid-late 90s that I had a poo poo load of the toys for but can't remember the name of.

It involved cards with weapons on them and there was a statue of liberty playset that was the good guys base? I think it came with a helicopter?

When I was little, I was absolutely sure that the twister Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton are chasing was meant to be the same one that killed Hunt's character's father in the prologue, back after 30 years to finish the job.

Makes more sense than what I thought was going on, I thought they were doing experiments to find out where tornados go when they disappear.

I have a co-worker who is 36 or 37 who refuses to use a debit card. Everything she does is cash or check. No online bill paying or even looking at them. She was trying to buy concert tickets for her boyfriend as a birthday gift and was having a helluva time with it because there's no Ticketmasters near us.

Currently she's worrying about how all her bills will come in and be due the week she's on vacation next month because online bill paying is just the most insane thing.

I haven't been in a few years but it's long been a staple of Gencon/Origins that there's a booth just selling old dead card games. Somewhere at my dad's house I have a loving shitload of .hack//enemy cards that I got for like $3 a booster box and the logic was "hey I like .hack why not"

Also a bunch of Spy Craft.

We had two preconstructed decks of Wyvern that either my dad never learned how to play or didn't bother to really teach me the rules but we would sit down and play and I remember it being good fun.

He even let me add in the two random rear end MTG cards we got from a comic book and come up with rules for them. Good times

The Switch is already a success, and if they can keep production up and keep putting out games people want (though I laugh at the idea that there are people who wanted to play Skyrim and Dark Souls but only buy nintendo consoles so they haven't) it will probably be the second best console of this generation after the Ps4. I know something that hurt me with Nintendo is that after the SNES their advertising very clearly focused on kids. teens and people in their 20s are not going to be enticed by Pokemon and Animal Crossing, no matter how good they are, when Sony is showing off Symphony of the Night, Tekken and Final Fantasy VII.

I dunno. I know a lot of 20 somethings that bought a 3ds as soon as the pokemon of that generation came out. Nostalgia is a helluva drug.

You could see stuff like Robocop and Hellraiser with the boobs and the words poo poo and gently caress blanked out, but with all of the gore intact. It was good enough to feel like you were getting away with something.

Shine is the most 90's song, it was everywhere, and I'm pretty sure any movie or TV show that takes place in the 90's only needs to play part of it to set the scene.


I had this game. They actually made more videos for it, because it's really a one and done type thing. All in all video board games were a cool idea IMHO, but they really needed something like DVD where things could get shuffled.

We had the sequel Atmosphere: The Harbingers and despite never knowing how to play that game was the poo poo.

Glass Pipes *

*for tobacco use only* (Hahahahahah)

Talking about smoking in the 80s thread reminded me that there was an uptick of smoking in movies and tv, it became shorthand to "this character is cooooool and sophisticated". I remember watching Mullholland Falls (not the Lynch one, the one with Nick Nolte) and that movie is just smoke smoke smoke smoke smoke constantly.

But then you saw less and less smoking IRL. Like it was when I first remember seeing restuants that just didn't have smoking sections, but straight up banned it.

I loved that play when I was in high school, and saw it again fairly recently, and I couldn't even begin to feel the slightest bit sympathetic for a bunch of junkie "artists" who got a huge apartment in NYC for pennies on the dollar because their friend owned the building, and then still didn't want to get real jobs and pay their bills because heroin.

Seriously, gently caress like 90% of the characters in Rent.

I took my fiancee to see it last year for the 25th anniversary tour and it was the first time I'd seen it and that was how I felt.

drat near every main character is an unlikable person and I just wanted to know why they wouldn't go get jobs to at least try and pay the rent.

I remember in the 90s for Christmas one year I got all the first series of Spawn figures plus the Spawn Alley playset. They were opened and played with because I was a kid and that's what you do with toys.

The other adults my parents knew gave them the "You just ruined his college fund" speech.


And on the reverse side of the coin my fiancees mom would buy her and her sisters things and go "and now this is going in storage so you can sell it for a lot of money later"
