I looked it up in Google images and it does have a tearful looking part with some mouse dying in anothers arms, but not the setting or exact characters I remember. The style i remember was also way more cutesy than this, somehow. And I remember the dying rodent anthro thing was wearing an officers coat from like the 1700s. I've just no idea !

As a kid, we had this VHS of a kids educational special about volcanoes and geology. It was an alien team/family/couple that flew their spaceship to places like Hawaii and Iceland to talk about the different kinds of lava and the geysers and stuff. A few years ago while searching I came upon a post on reddit searching for the same thing. I think it was National Geographic, but I cant find in in any evidence of it.

I forget the scale, though I do recall it was a larger box (1/100?). Where I get lost when trying to google it, is that I'm 99% sure it was mostly green/white with a giant gatling gun-looking thing on its shoulder. I do know that it wasn't Heavy Arms (at least the red/blue versions), nor one of those gas mask-headed ones. If it helps, this was in the Galleria by the Harbor in Baltimore: there was a Babbage's/Software Etc. inside prior to the EB buy-out/re-branding.

Dell_Zincht posted:Isn't this Colony Wars? It was published by Psygnosis and came on 2 discs. MUST BUY DIESEL JEANS G-Police was the first game I remember that had real-world ads in it (billboards for Diesel jeans). I also remembering it being so difficult that I called up Psygnosis and bought a strategy guide from them. It was neat in that they sent stickers for a few games (Psychonauts being one, I think) but the strategy guide amounted to "You suck really bad. Stop sucking so bad."

Re: the model, it turns out I am an idiot and just needed to use super broad search terms. Your suggestion prompted me to use "gundam big shoulder gun" rather than "gatling gun" (which returns nothing but Heavy Arms). It turns out I was thinking of Gundam Leopard. Box art was different than I remember, but the gun and color palette was the same. Thanks for tacking a crack at it!

Probably 1990, maybe 1991. Computer music demo. Probably an Amiga (maybe an Atari ST). Hardcore electronic dance music, probably, All I remember were the visuals, which were a rapidly flashing coloured background cycling through colours while different images flashed up. The one image I clearly remember was a black silhouette of a soldier on one knee, holding a long rifle up to his shoulder. I wouldn't call it a white whale, but occasionally I wonder what the hell it was.

There was this girl that I was friends with benefits with. She loved Bath & Body works and everything she owned was one scent. It was called like Midnight Forest or something like that. To this day I can't smell it without thinking about her which is really awkward when your wife gets the same scented shampoo :-D

I remember one scene from a movie when I was a kid. It was an action movie (and possibly comedy) where a dude swings on a rope and gets shot at a bunch... But the bullets are all stopped by the bed pan he has under his shirt.

This has to have been 25-30 years ago. I remember seeing it at my babysitters house so I had to be sub-10 years old. Honestly it might not have even been a bed pan. Just ignore me.

An older song that goes "yippy ai oh ai eyyy" like the letters I O I A, trading back and forth with a main singer. I think that it may have been the exact same thing just from a deep voice. "YIPPY AI OH AI EYY" "yippy ai oh ai eyyy"

My roommate reminded me of one I'd forgotten about. Must've been 10-15 years ago, a music video(?) of a dude in a shirt and tie yelling "I GOTTA TAKE A poo poo" while banging on an occupied bathroom door. There were other lyrics, but I can't remember them. Iirc there was a "story" of sorts, something about needing to make it to a bathroom in time, so probably variations of that theme.

BMX Ninja- Road Raider is absolutely the game. Apparently it was also known as Motor Massacre. It is available on an abandonware site. Your help is much appreciated. LL_Ghoul_J-  Gandarvas' First Day Of Spring is correct. It's interesting what you said about being Canadian, because while I am not, I was living in the Detroit area, and the radio station it was playing on was 89X out of Windsor. Thank you very much for sharing this.Thanks also to Dell_Zincht and Scaramouche and anyone else who took the time and effort to help.  Since I haven't been able to find answers for anyone else, I am going to pretend that someone asked what the kid's show with people and puppets and based out of Detroit was. The answer is Hot Fudge https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=E94e7Cf6F1g
