The one that's an option on the Switch Online's streaming NES/SNES games works pretty well I find.

Defunctland did a video about the Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego gameshow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVVkSlXl41Q I watched the poo poo out of that in the early 90s. Though it was at the tale end of when kids shows would be entertaining for me.

Just another generic white guy in the early 90s. I thought the part about them having to change stuff due to the world itself changing. I also remember the end game being really hard because it was clear some of the kids couldn't lift the things to mark the countries.

I'm 99% sure I attended a Carmen Sandiego taping as a kid, but since I didn't understand some of the finer points of how a TV taping would look different in person, I assumed it was some sort of knock-off or "touring" version. (I grew up about a half hour away from Astoria, where it was taped season 2+) Later in life I went to a Letterman taping and a Conan taping, and now it all makes sense. Those sets always look so much smaller in person. Even to a kid.

Nickelodeon Studios had just finished filming Clarissa Explains it all, so we got to see the taping of a few episodes of Weinerville. I ended up being in several audience shots including a couple closeups. It was a real awkward in 7th grade when a few of my classmates had spotted me on there.

I always thought I would have dominated on that show and those kids were idiots, but I’ve since come to realize I never took nerves into account (despite being riddled with anxiety all my miserable goddamn life) so I offer my apologies to a bunch of preteens whom I’ve never outwardly insulted.

Some portions of some games used crt specific hacks, but a lot of people way overcompensate and say that nobody was ever supposed to see sharp pixels, and well

Too bad I'll never get to see a Conan taping, even if I manage to go to LA ever. Seriously, the 90s was when my parents let me stay up as late as I wanted for the first time and while looking for boobs on late night TV i found Conan in his like 2nd or 3rd season and was "wait, this is exactly my humor".

The first year or so was rough, and Conan’s nervousness was palpable in the first episode. I remember seeing it once in its first season wondering, “what the hell is this goofy crap?” even though, like you, his humor totally resonated with me and, as a fan of Letterman at the time, his style didn’t really seem that far removed. I’m going to chalk it up to a lack of confidence that went well beyond his usual self deprecation. I gave him another chance a bit later and was completely hooked. Insomnia sucked but at least I had the best possible entertainment for it. Conan is, to me, the greatest late night host, transcending Letterman. I’m too young to have really appreciated Carson, but I don’t think he really jibes with me anyway. root beer has a new favorite as of 21:56 on Apr 8, 2021 |

Conan probably clicked with me because he's only about 15 years older than me so that means he was young enough to make jokes about stuff I actually had some cultural knowlage about and also lined up with Kids in the Hall and that early 90s Silver Age of SNL.

It seems to be trying to do both with that one. There are a lot of youngish kids in it as well as teenagers, and the line about "children are the future." It's got that kind of energy like it's trying to market to the younger brother of the family.

And any excuse to post the actual video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNAkbbKycCM Also it wasn't until the Todd in the Shadows video about Pepper did I learn that Gabby Haynes did sing the lyrics for Jesus Built My Hotrod https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXCh9OhDiCI An old argument from high school could have been settled, as some people insisted it was Butthole Surfers, but other said it was Ministry.

Yeah I remember as a kid who was a little too young for the grunge era (I was 8 when Nevermind came out) that the older brothers and sisters of my friends and the secondary school kids in plaid shirts and band tees (who I imagined were on their way home to watch horror movies and read 2000AD) were the loving coolest and I aspire to it to this day. I imagine advertisers know to sell who kids want to be, not who they are. I remember hating seeing other kids in adverts, but loved the kind of stuff in the Nintendo ad or this Sega ad: https://youtu.be/E36JA1meigk or this anarchic UK Nintendo ad: https://youtu.be/OwjPQ3pNMKY

Nintendo America got up to some weird poo poo. not quite 90s but in the early '00s they used the Goldfrapp song Strict Machine for a gameboy commercial. that song is incredibly horny if you look into it so it's pretty funny it got used for a video game ad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0el2TPmbH8

Horny or violent is fine, as long as nobody uses disgusting language like "hell" or "drat".

I bought Independent Worm Saloon because it had Goofy's Concerns and Who Was In My Room Last Night.

I remember fully disassembling my mouse once a week and doing a detail cleaning. I had to do that because my office-mate ate his Cheetos with his mouse hand. "NEVER EAT CHEETOS WITH YOUR MOUSE HAND". We shared the same computer as it was a high-end workstation for 3D design and rendering. There was only the one so we shared. I used a different computer for modeling, he used the other. We liked different software but needed the same workstation for rendering. Then he'd use his right hand to eat Cheetos and use the mouse. Left hand is for Cheetos and don't touch the drat screen. Also, eat the Cheetos by shaking them in your mouth. Don't touch them. Never touch Cheetos. Cheetos.
