Still stinging over the time I'd convinced my parents to buy me a new Genesis game, and Haunting (Starring Polterguy) got shot down in favor of The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends.

Killingyouguy! posted:The gbc "metal gear solid" is a weird one because it's not just a demake of mgs, it's a completely different game (it's called Metal Gear Ghost Babel in Japan), but it's also really good and also strange because you never foresee being emotionally moved by a game boy game. It's an inherently goofy platform 2017 comes around and deck-builders became the biggest thing ever for a while.

the brief window of every game magazine packing in a demo disc of PSX titles before the publishers realized oh wait that's a bad idea now everyone will know the game sucks before we have their moneys

It honestly blows my mind to see a modern portable disc drive, with a burner no less, because they're barely larger than a CD case now.

I have a Windows 95 laptop and the CD-ROM drive on that isn't much bigger than nowadays. (You can pop it out and put it in an external enclosure, because there's only one drive bay.)

My experience with them was mostly 5.25 tower drives (both in-PC and shoved in an external enclosure) back in the day, so seeing a modern standalone one being just so tiny is neat to me.

Someone stopped in at my work the other day and asked if we had any blank CD-Rs. We have some DVD-Rs but no CDs, I said I had a spool at home though that he could just have if he wanted them.

He was also talking about how 'certain types' of CDR he'd tried already were recording at 'the wrong pitch', which sounds to me like a sample rate conversion issue, not anything inherent to the media itself.

Remember when your radio or PC speakers would start blipping and you knew you were about to get a phone call.

I was watching TWiT a lot around that era, and it was constant; IIRC it was that 3G signals would cause that crsssh crssh sound?
