Hey man gently caress you Mario Teaches Typing killed so much time my senior year of high school. They were unloading lovely Mac clamshells for $20 a piece and it could run Mario Teaches Typing so I was playing a game yet typing up a storm almost like I was taking notes.

My favorite are the bootleg anime sets from the early 2000's. Back then you would have to pay ridiculous amounts of money for a 26 episode series, I believe Cowboy Bebop was something like $100, to get the complete set. The fact these things were so expensive had websites spring up that offered complete shows for ballpark $20 and you would even see those sets pop up on Amazon in the marketplace. I bought a Cowboy Bebop before I realized it was a bootleg and when it came in I actually looked at the box it shipped in. They had managed to spell the names of most of the creators wrong on the box.

My friends girlfriend bought Doctor Who series 1 through 4 for $15 a piece instead of the shitloads the BBC wanted for them at the time and every menu ended up going to the episode list. The play all button didn't work, there were no other audio/subtitle tracks and the special features were just the episode list.

I was a teenager when Crazy Frog came out; mobile phones had just managed to start producing proper sounds, internet culture was barely in its infancy and people were as tasteless a bunch of braying dimwits as they ever were. It was the perfect conditions for something so utterly and completely terrible to flourish.

Also thanks for the links, I'll check them out later.

Like the internet still wouldn't flip poo poo over Crazy Frog. Only now there would be more pictures with impact font, a Chuck Tingle book, and maybe a Facebook group called That Noise the Frog Makes.

The internet is every bit as retarded now as it was then.

Hey anything to get filthy millennials to have protected sex. America has this issue where we want to pretend our youth aren't having sex because our abstinence only sex Ed courses totally work bro. So if they market condoms at them going "hey dumbass keep one on you" I don't see that as a bad thing.

We had an indian restaurant here that used to make something called The Killer which if you could eat you got it free. It hospitalised multiple people before they stopped doing it. People who like hot for hots sake are mentally deranged and should seek help.

I used to work at a popcorn place and the owner was a hot = flavor type so we had a popcorn that was just standard butter popcorn covered in Carolina Reaper flakes. It sold very poorly but he had me make 10 gallons of it every week to replace was went stale because he was not good at measuring public interest.

I absolutely adore the stupid bullshit max temkin/the cards against humanity people do with their millions and millions of dollars

They sure do like to use Black Friday as the day to go "Hey! Look at us! We sure do exist!"

Fingers crossed that Trump's wall never sees the light of day because I'm not sure I'm down with my tax dollars paying for a wall and all the legal fees as the Trump Administration tries to eminent domain the land they bought.

I mean, outside of them being a household name in a lot of college campuses and lots of folks up through late 20's/early 30s, yeah, nobody remembers they exist

Like every party I've been to in the last three years has had at least one or more games going throughout. They're a lot bigger than you might realize.

I wasn't saying people don't know who they are. But how else do you categorize raising the price on black Friday, selling a literal box of poo poo, selling literally nothing, and digging a hole? Sounds to me like they're just doing things to say "Hey we exist!"

Same reason any company advertises in any form? Why does McDonalds have ads when everyone knows they exist? Because they've found sales drop if they don't constantly remind you

That's true. Maybe I'm alone in thinking the game is bad and the advertisements aren't really funny in any way.

And I'm curious why did you buy so many boxes of literal poo poo and why were people willing to pay extra for a box of literal poo poo?

Although CAH has inspired a shitload of knockoffs thanks to the "no retail" policy they used to have. Which is pretty fitting for this thread. I still don't get how it's caught on since it's just non sequiturs that would get someone ostracized from a group any other time. But if it's on a card it becomes completely cool to respond to "things I think about during sex ________" with "date rape" (admittedly the date rape card is gone in editions) but it was funny to the devs at one time which :stare:

The only worthwhile parts of the Star Wars EU are the Thrawn Trilogy and the first four books in the X-Wing series. Everything else is trash. In fact, the ones I liked are probably trash too because I read them when I was like 12.

I occasionally debate rereading the xwing books but I always put it off because what if they aren't as good now?

Although the Rogue Squadron ones were definitely better than the Wraith Squadron ones.

Holy poo poo I just remembered this one:


It's the US release of the Japanese film Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind. They cut about half an hour from the film and re-edited it to make it a bland action-adventure film with new dialogue that had nothing to do with the original and they also dumped most of the environmentalism angle. You can imagine Miyazaki's reaction when he heard what they'd done.

Dunno if it's true or not but apparently for Princess Mononoke he mailed a katana with the message "no cuts" out to the localization office

Lets see...when was it that had the newsgrounds mascot doing a school shooting? That was pretty early on, innit?

I remember Newgrounds in highschool having the dating sims category almost always featured on the front page and that was a pretty porny section
