Turns out it's a late 80s thing but it's close. Jurassic Park was totally a ripoff and didn't even have the rad train

One of my Christmas gifts was the complete Doug Dvd set. Definitely looking forward to firing it up for some 90s nostalgia

I just main lined fuller house. It was a super nostalgic treat and totally captured the spirit of the original. Way better than the x-files return at any rate. Which to be fair the Darin Morgan episode was a pretty good meta-commentary on why there shouldn't be any more x-files. Could've done without the mild (well compared to the internet) transphobic joke though

Leavemywife posted:This is from the last page, but that's why it's insanely impressive Resident Evil 2 got a 64 release. If I remember right, they fit all of RE2, voiced dialog, FMVs, and everything else, on a single 64 cartridge. If I remember correctly the cart was super expensive and you could buy a PlayStation with Re2 for less than the cost of it by that point

twistedmentat posted:This is every nintendo console since the n64. You buy the mario and zelda games, maybe another 1st party game, but that's it. I know so many people who just bought a WiiU for Smash Bros, Skyward Sword, Splatoon and Mario Maker. The Wii was probably the best for third party stuff. It sold like gangbusters and as a result there's lots of cool weirdo games, that probably didn't deserve a full price at the time, and would be like 20 dollar indie games now, but for a while were super cheap at gamestop. Though I'd imagine they've all started to creep up in price.

So in other 90s rocker news, I just learned Maynard from Tool is an alt-right poo poo head, and super pro-cop and military. Did he he hit his head or something? Didn't Perfect Circle put out an anti-bush album in the aughts or am I going crazy?

this is also a maynard quote from a recent concertquote:As artists, we interpret and report, that’s our job. We are merchants of emotion. We have the privilege to do that because of active and former law enforcement and military defending our right to do so. He also apparently dunks fried chicken into his wine to own the vegans. Whether a one off or a thing he does all the time, it's like come on dude.

https://www.buzzfeed.com/annehelenpetersen/how-empire-records-became-the-unlikely-film-of-a-generation I always liked it, even if it's not necessarily a good movie. Always thought it was trying way too hard to ape indie movies about slackers than a big corporate thing like wayne's world.

For my first holy communion I was gifted a super soaker 2000. Which was obviously my favorite part of the whole thing, which I honestly answered in my post communion essay. It didn’t go over well and taught me better to lie on school religious essays.

A lot of anti-Courtney stuff is clearly misogyny, but also she’s in Epstein’s black book, and there’s been murmurings of her helping provide his enterprise with young girls. Even if that’s pure fantasy everyone in that book is suspect as gently caress
