The Repo Man posted:It's early 2000's, but it still feels pretty 90's to me (from the GIF thread) Cultural Decades rarely line up with calendar ones. The "60s" didn't really get going until like 1964/65 and ended in 71 or so and so on. Also, remember record stores? Where you'd go to buy like CDs and things?

Iron Crowned posted:I heard that the Madden ports for Dreamcast were great because you could use the little screen on the controller to pick your plays so the other guy can't see them Nope, EA didn't bring Madden to the Dreamcast. Sega's NFL2k series had that option and it was pretty neat, but it just had a list of the plays, so you had to know which name meant what.

I literally never saw someone irl use it unti I was in my 20s and it was a toothless old man. The 90s is when baseball players stopped doing chew. Was almost traditional for them to sit other bench and dip.

The_Franz posted:Up until a couple of years ago my aunt, who very rarely ventures far from home, would shove rolls of quarters into my cousins' hands as they were leaving after the holidays "for the tolls". They finally convinced her to stop it since the rolls just spent months clunking around in their cars until they found someplace to use them. Actually ran into toll booths coming home through Chicago not long ago. The booths weren't manned though and you had to put the toll into a machine if you didn't have an easy pass. The new toll bridge in Louisville doesn't even have booths. They take pictures of your license plate and bill you.

Local store was selling the old first edition cards with the different name/card backs for cheap. We'd also heard it was based on the same thing as Kindred: The Embraced and were the right kind of nerd to think that was awesome.

fartknocker posted:Yeah, during Super Bowl XXVI in 1992, and it got pretty decent ratings compared to the actual halftime show (Which was some ice capades stuff and Washington was beating Buffalo 24-0). The next year the NFL had Michael Jackson for halftime and nobody seriously tried to compete with that (Even though the game was meh as Dallas was similarly beating up Buffalo). That was a thing in the 90s. I remember the "Butt Bowl" where MTV showed Bevis and Butthead during halftime.

twistedmentat posted:One summer my grandmother paid me 200bux to paint the side of her house that was all peeling. Which in the mid 90s was a hell of a lot of money. I listened to Stone Temple Pilots Purple, Pearl Jam Vs, Nirvana In Utereo, Sound Garden Super Unknown, Beastie Boys Ill Communication, and Beck's Mellow Gold. There was probably a mix tape in there too, but kids these days won't know the pain in the rear end it was to change tapes constantly, not to mention batteries. Getting my first CD player and being able to skip to the song I wanted to listen to was a revelation. Finally technology working for me.

ShortyMR.CAT posted:I can't remember which one I had, but I had me one of the MONSTER XL Super Soakers as a kid. I remember getting the original Super Soaker back when it came out. They were a revelation. Later my younger brother had one of these: http://www.isoaker.com/Armoury/Analysis/1996/super_soaker_cps2000.php  It had a power meter and took a good 3 minutes of pumping to max out. The tank only held like 2.5 shots if you maxed it out. This wasn't a problem if you were in the above ground pool FYI. COuld just drop down, fill up, pop up and blast fools.

uli2000 posted:BMG > Columbia House. Sure, you only got like 8 CD's instead of 12, but you only had to buy one, not 4 or 6 or whatever. Columbia House DVD club, now that was the poo poo. I got so many loving DVDs from them in the early '00s, they did the same 8 for 1 type deals, sometimes even better. I remember whole forums devoted to getting the best deals from their DVD clubs. Hell yeah. I did that for the majority of my DVD collection and my Mom kept up with it until like 2015 or something. None of those clubs were bad deals, you just had to be buying in bulk to get your per-Tape/CD/DVD cost down. Too bad they were products of the music labels and the musicians got nothing from their "sales"
