Hey, anything is possible. My parents are still using VHS tapes to record their TV shows when they won't be home.

I feel like the frequency of shows starting/finishing early/late would be a lot worse these days.

Clickspring is great. He's amazingly skilled (and patient) and easy to listen to. Definitely one of my favorite youtube channels.

So hard rubbish season (a thing where people put junk out the front of their homes, then the council collects it) is in full swing in my area at the moment, and so far I've been behaving myself by not dragging unnecessary crap home with me.

That is, until today when I found this baby:



This means I now have the means to accidentally burn my house down make my crappy home demos sound crappy in a good way!

The Magic Bullet infomercial where it's a bunch of hungover adults the morning after a nineties thirtysomethings party going nuts over a blender with attachments is about the only one I ever watched all the way through.

There's no way anyone can convince me that they didn't totally have a swingers party the night before.

I used to be able to tell if someone (quietly) opened a door in a room I was in solely by the slight change in the sound of the CRT whine.

Then I grew up and started listening to shoegaze and speed metal. Whoops.

Man, I wish I could find a list of good games for GBA like this. Every time I look up good GBA games, it's always a list of games I don't want to play or just SNES ports. This game looks cool as hell.

Ecks Vs. Sever is one I don't see mentioned that often on those kinds of lists.

No has mentioned the best obsolete tech YouTuber: Uncle Doug

He's a straightforward old dude who does long videos of him repairing/modding/building tube guitar amps.

Super knowledgeable and pleasant to listen to, all without the gimmicks.

I remember Conker's Bad Fur Day being up around the $140 mark on release, supposedly due to it using a 64mb cartridge.

Looking at eBay sold listings, it appears you can make that money back and them some for the loose cartridge alone....I have some digging to do.

White Stripes "Seven Nation Army" is a good bass test (I know it's a guitar, not a bass, but still).

Annihilation by DEDSA is good one too.

I saw the music video at a film festival, and the droning synthy bass sounded loving amazing coming from beefy cinema grade subs.
