Ah-ha! I've been wanting to find the commercial for that on YouTube because it's so ridiculous and dumb, but I couldn't remember the name. I'm pretty sure there was a similar thing out there with eight weapons and it may have been a water gun but I'm not totally sure. edit: jesus christ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi7E5jRRaXs edit2: I was half right on the other thing, it was called the Power Shooter TS-8, and it was some Nerf kinda thing. The commercial was a different kind of dumb from the TS-7: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAglOl8ibOk root beer has a new favorite as of 14:36 on May 15, 2015 |

About seven years ago I wandered through a dying mall, where only one and a half of the anchor stores were open and everything else was abandoned. My soundtrack was the Conet Project though, I was going for eerie rather than depressing.

twistedmentat posted:Speaking of hair, I saw a dude with a mullet (and an kaiser bill) the other day, and I though "drat, why do people keep trying to bring that thing back?" and also remembered how the mullet did get its start in the 80s, I always associate it with the 90s because it was everywhere. Movie starts would have them done in their latest roles, and they were all over tv. Pretty much every boy in family sitcoms had them, and they were artfully arranged for maximum business up front, party in the back. Sure, the mullet's been around since the '80s or even before that, but it didn't get its name until the mid-'90s.

Whenever I picture the show I just see them dressed in their yuppie clothes in their yuppie apartment, it's night time, having boring banter back and forth, and their immaculately groomed dog will occasionally wander into the scene. The whole thing was just so sterile. "Post the most 90s thing you can find"

Nah, I thought it was pretty good for what it was and that the controller was well-suited for games like Turok (D-pad for fwd/rev and strafing, analog stick for looking/turning, Z for shooting and L for jumping). Sony ended up improving the concept, sure, but maybe they should have thought of it in the first place.

I’d say it was more than just “kinda”; The X-Files was pretty well known for being about balancing the episodic “monster of the week” installments with the underlying “mythology” episodes, which spanned not only a seasonal arc, but over the course of the entire series.

All I remember about Suddenly Susan was Brooke Shields was some magazine journalist and that it also had Judd Nelson, Nestor Carbonell, and Kathy Griffin. Oh, and that there was a guy on there who killed himself irl so they worked that into the plot of one episode. Veronica’s Closet was just Kirstie Alley as a whiny former fashion model doing some Victoria’s Secret bullshit, and I’m just going to say that was the extent of it. It existed in a black void and she was all alone in it for all I’m willing to remember.
