| 5559 | Article | Vaporman87 | I should mention that our skating rink did NOT have a DJ. The owner just played records through the speakers. She would swap them out behind the counter as she collected entry fees. | Dec 06, 2021 |  | |
| 5564 | Article | Vaporman87 | I whole-heartedly agree. That is awesome though that the place is still kicking. I'm kind of in the reverse situation in that the mall I most frequented is actually thriving. Then again, it's in West Virginia, so they're like 20 years behind the curve, LOL. | Skating Through The Years | Dec 07, 2021 | |
| 5566 | Article | Vaporman87 | That sucks. I hate seeing/hearing about the state of most malls these days. There are a few bright spots here and there... actually most malls I've visited in West Virginia are doing well (Barboursville/Huntington Mall, Parkersburg Mall, Beckley area mall). The mall I'm most familiar with from my youth (Parkersburg) recently added a whole new section for Ross, Petland, and some other anchor-type stores. | Skating Through The Years | Dec 07, 2021 | |
| 5567 | Article | Vaporman87 | Malls truly do go all out to give you that holiday spirit... because that equates to dollars! Still, it makes for some nice memories. | My introduction to holidays at the mall | Dec 10, 2021 | |
| 5574 | Article | Vaporman87 | I've never been a fan of Super Smash Brothers. The concept is great on paper. But the execution is just dreadful. There is too much on screen action. I lose track of where I am half the time, and things happen so fast that you can't really create any kind of strategy. All you do is just mash buttons and hope you get more hits than the opponent. I'd much prefer a standard fighting game where I can concentrate on my moves and strategy. | Super Smash Bros. Melee: Star Studded Sequel | Jan 05, 2022 | |
| 5588 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's awesome that there is a restored new version being released. It seems there are several companies out there buying up retro properties that were maybe not large scale hits, but have enough of a following to warrant new merch. I recently saw that the folks behind the "Toys That Made Us" series are rereleasing Robo Force? I rest my case. LOL | Remembering The Omega Virus | Jan 20, 2022 | |
| 5589 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahh. I feel safer within my winterproof fort already. I have known of the curious case of hot Dr Pepper for quite some time. As my favorite soda, it definitely boggles the mind to think of it being gulped down like a coffee. My grandmother left us a few boxes of recipes pulled from magazines of her time containing recipes like you mention that really make you scratch your head. Who thought of these things?! Who would have eaten them? Blech! Though, once in a while, I'd come across one that sounded sort of edible. As for reading, I've been in and out of the world of Olympic Vista (via the Olympic Vista Chronicles), with the first of a series, "Yesterday's Gone" by Kelly Pawlik. It's been a satisfactory defense against the snow and ice. | Surviving the Long, Cold Winter Part II: Further Fortifications | Jan 20, 2022 | |
| 5598 | Article | Vaporman87 | Agreed. Though I think it is one thing to use old branding in advertisements and such. It is something else entirely to incorporate those old aesthetics into the business model and see it extend to physical items and locations. THAT is what I'm waiting for. | What's Old is New Again:Retro Branding Comebacks | Feb 08, 2022 | |
| 5599 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think there are levels of disappointment that could be discussed here, but I'm going to stick to the less personal ones... more focused on product and school life than life at home and relationships. I was very disappointed when Masters of the Universe abruptly went belly up in '87. They had some pretty cool things planned that would have been awesome to see on shelves, even though I was growing out of collecting them around that time. I was disappointed that a school levy that would have created a brand new high school that would have been ready by the time my age group arrived there did not pass. | Top four disappointing moments of childhood | Feb 08, 2022 | |
| 5611 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, I'm in complete agreement. Without Shredder and the budget to make the turtles animate convincingly, this movie was a total waste. I think the concept of going back in time could have worked pretty well in the hands of a better writing team and with Shredder once again stirring up trouble... perhaps with Krang at his side. | TMNT III: A Farce of a Finale | Mar 21, 2022 | |
