I wasn’t sure what studio made Star Trek IV but I’m pretty sure it’s Paramount. Okay here’s my own white whale: as a child I had a beautiful illustrated mythology book that I lost or gave away stupidly at some point. This was in Canada in the mid-90s, and I remember it being a hardcover book in a larger format. It was a collection of various mythological tales: the two I remember were Beowulf and St. George and the Dragon. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas!

Jakabite posted:So about, I wanna say 15 years ago, there was an MMO due to come out. It was medieval fantasy setting, had full player collision (which it made a big deal of if I remember right) and I think it had a base building element to it. It also had wolf men of some variety. It was called Dark something, like Dark Age or Dark Crusade or some poo poo. I don’t believe it ever actually got released and I always wonder what happened cos kid-me was excited as poo poo. Dark Age of Camelot? It did pretty well for awhile then faded away as all MMOs do.

Literally A Person posted:Can anyone find me a place to purchase 90's copies of Fantasy Review? It's a magazine but I can't seem to find anyway to get my hands on some physical copies. Any help would be much appreciated! Here's a comic book seller's website that lists a number of copies for sale: https://www.mycomicshop.com/search?TID=407921, but it only lists it as continuing until 1987. I'm finding nothing suggesting there were later issues, it might have changed names to ScienceFantasy Review at some point (or that may have happened to a UK zine of the same name), and it's really hard to tease out what's what. Even ISFDB doesn't have an entry for it, which is really weird.

magic cactus posted:This is an odd one: Around 2017 or so, a website started making the rounds of various internet culture pages. It was some thing about some 89 year old dude "seeking a perfect republican wife." If you went to the website, you'd be given a questionnaire to fill out with some standard questions asking where you stand on typical "conservative values" type stuff. Answer wrong and you'd get a generic "I'm sorry I don't think we're right for each other" type thing. Answer correctly however, and you'd get taken to another part of the page full of bizarre rants about the power of tantric sex and a weird preoccupation with the "natural beauty" of puerto rican women or something I don’t have a link but I DO remember it, it wasn’t a fever dream you were having.

The whole aesthetic was extremely web 1.0/geocities, but it couldn't have been later than Trump's first term, as I remember making a "I bet this guy voted for Trump" joke when I shared it with some friends. It's back in my mind because a buddy of mine shared something kind of similar with me, and my brain dug it up like some long forgotten fever dream. I think I might have stumbled upon it here in a GBS thread, but I don't have any idea how to work the search, and I'm not positive that it wasn't just a weird fever dream I had after all.

Dr. Quarex posted:I read William McNeill's "Rise of the West: A History of the Human Community" for my master's research ages ago, and there was an off-handed remark about a small group of "adventurers" (like 6, 10, a dozen, something like that) who nearly conquered Constantinople in the 1500s/1600sish, said so flippantly like this was some kind of anecdote everyone knows, but of course I have absolutely no idea what it referred to nor have I ever been able to figure it out. Any History Goons who immediately know what this is? It basically sounded like the best D&D game ever from that description I asked some D&D friends who are history nerds and one of them found the section: quote:Nevertheless, the Byzantine empire died slowly. Periods of partial recovery, such as that between 1081 and 1180 under the energetic Comneni emperors, resembled the spectacular recoveries of earlier Byzantine history; but in the long run the social and economic processes undermining the power of the central government proved more than even the most resolute emperors could overcome. During the twelfth century, first Serbia (from 1167) and then Bulgaria (from 1187) broke away from Byzantine sovereignty. A more crippling disaster was the capture of Constantinople by Western Crusaders in 1204. Frankish adventurers held the city until 1261 and carved out duchies for themselves from the richest Byzantine territories of Europe, although they failed to overrun northwestern Asia Minor, where Greek rule and the imperial title survived. Even after the Greek emperor regained his capital, the territories he ruled consisted only of dispersed fragments, owning little more than a nominal allegiance to Constantinople. This is in McNeill's discussion of the Fourth Crusade.

I was extremely obsessed with Semantic Spaces when I was 13, then somehow completely forgot about it, except a random melody or misheard lyric would show up in my head and I didn't know how I could possibly find it. I just listened to the entire album, and I'm telling you, time of my life. The memories. You’re welcome! Everything after that album is more of the same. “Silence” with Sarah McLachlan was a big hit you’ve probably heard.

I seem to remember there being a thread for old SA stuff you can't remember, but I can't find it, so I have a request on behalf of a friend who's not a goon. She remembers a spooky/creepy (calls it a creepypasta) front page article written as a series of how-tos, with one part about plants. If anyone has any ideas, that would be great (betting Zack Parsons wrote it, but when I think creepy Zack stuff I think of the prison series.)

Deep Glove Bruno posted:Maybe I'm not the kind of person to be excited by tattoo ideas anyway, but for what it's worth I would think on getting a tattoo of a living person who might yet turn out to be some kind of awful creep David Lynch is the kind of person the world has already repeatedly tried to cancel and everyone around him has stood up and gone “gently caress you gently caress that he’s too good to do that to.” Back during the shooting of Blue Velvet in 1986 movie critics attacked Lynch, saying that he was abusing Isabella Rossellini due to what must have been required to shoot all the erotic content. Rossellini herself stated that she might have been naked a lot, but she never felt more respected, more safe, or more cared for on a film set. This pattern has continued throughout the rest of Lynch’s work. He’s not a creep. edit: to be clear you’re not wrong to be concerned in general, it’s just not something you need to worry about for David Lynch.

Magazines often have their listed months be much later than the actual date they were in stores or published for, and I don't know why. It's definitely a thing that the "September" issue actually was early June.
