I've got two.

The first is a movie that I caught the last five minutes of on TV when I was a kid. As far as I could tell the premise was that some normal adults got transferred to a fantasy world and had just finished running through some maze/labyrinth thing. They confront the bad guy at the end, the woman reveals that they collected enough magic coins, and they were allowed to return to Real Earth and go back to their jobs. I have absolutely no idea who was in it or what channel it was on but I wanted to watch the entire thing really badly and never found out what it was.

The second was some YA novel about a group of teens that were all part of some secret club/society where they all wore masks that were a different color. Most of them ended up being bad people. I read it multiple times and can't remember the title of it and it's driven me crazy for years.

It's a pain but most of them are still available through the wayback machine:

I've been trying to discover the identity of this show or movie for years.

It was live action on Nickelodeon. It would have aired between 1986 and probably 1996. I think I'd remember it better once I was 12.

The main image I have is a large brown Victorian house with a dead or possibly dirt yard. I believe that under the house there was some kind of purple/blue/green portal, or, possibly that was the interior of a spaceship.

That's about it. I remember it being.on a lot, always the same thing.

My guess is you’re thinking of the American remake of the Tomorrow People. They teleported to an island with a spaceship or something.

It was a really good show!

Oh, one other thing that came to me is that the world was a hexagon grid and they knew they could only move so many in a day.

I'll see about picking up the first Guardians of the Flame book and see if it rings any bells.

Oh poo poo, I definitely remember this too now. The dice thing sounded familiar but I explicitly remember the hex stuff.

There was a game I had on my Macintosh (but I think it might have gotten ported elsewhere) but it was a first person game, you were driving a tank, the whole game was wire frame and you could upgrade your tank. I think what I had was the demo.

Almost positive you’re thinking of Spectre and Spectre VR

During the second half of the 90s, I had two castle that opened up via key to reveal a play set. I'd say the larger one was at least a foot tall, and had removable towers that turned into teacups. Both castles were jewel-toned and I think existed on a scale larger than the original Polly Pocket figures. Does anyone know what line these were from?

One more request. I swear this was on Brunching Shuttlecocks around the year 2000, but I can’t find any evidence it existed. The blogger did something to his feet. Wearing socks for a month or keeping foot in a plastic bag and reported on the experience.

The full archive with all photos still exists:

That's 100% it.

I was convinced for a while it was "The New Revolution" split up over multiple lines, but I didn't think of trying "revolutionaries."

googling this has been an experience. Does anyone have the (quite long) audio file of 'epic movie anouncer voice' going through what i vaguelly recall being edgy videogame nicknames like "absolute cum bucket".
The audio has swelling ambient pads as background music.

It was titled Welcome to the Cum Zone from Tumblr user ReidAyanami. The original soundcloud is long gone, but you can find various remixes and versions on youtube. (There were three in total, I think, not sure what the other two were.)

Does anyone know the name of this other game I'm thinking of? This has been bugging me for YEARS.

Kind of a long shot but was it any of the tracks from this?
