| 1350 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can recall the hours upon hours I spent collecting the images for the VHS Covers section of the site from VHS Wasteland (with the owner's permission, mind you) and having to sort out the really gruesome images from those that could safely be viewed here. I purposefully left out the horror section because they were just so horrific, some of them. That is a testament to the effectiveness of the VHS cover. As you said, you had only a few ways to attract a customer outside of giant ad campaigns and being viewed on thousands of movie screens. The thing is, after so many times renting that eye-catching film with the great VHS cover and being sorely disappointed with the actual film, you start to catch on. But apparently that didn't stop others from making the same mistake, because the market was FLOODED with cheap direct to video movies for SO LONG! But I really feel like the VHS cover was an art form unto itself. A really great cover could be all the difference between losing your hat or scoring big. | Oct 01, 2014 |  | |

| 3955 | Article | NLogan | I can relate. I too was an every other weekend visit to dad's kid. Freddy's in the mountain states is a cool 50s joint to get a burger. You already know I love comics. My dad, my twin and I all had our weekly rituals or as my dad put it, "Let's rent a pizza, and buy a movie". We did Shopping at Food 4 Less with the grocery total being the same week after week, Blockbuster Video until we were banned and then some no name ma and pa video store, miniature golf, arcades, moview theaters, and Tae Kwon Do. | Divorced Dad Memories | Jun 21, 2017 | |

| 4692 | Article | Benjanime | i can still play super mario kart just fine, it's just with mario kart 64 that the turning really feels like you're sliding on ice and it's hard for me to master now. | Disappointing video game revisits | Nov 27, 2018 | |
| 958 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can still vaguely recall the smell of opening up a new NES cartridge from it's cardboard and plastic home. It's so strange how odors like that can bury itself in our memory banks for a lifetime. And like Trash Man mentioned, old comics can send you back too. | The Fear of Toys | Jan 24, 2014 | |
| 3834 | Article | Vaporman87 | I can think of no other musical concert that was so popular and watched by as many people. It was all anyone talked about, at least as it pertained to music or musicians. | Remembering Live Aid (1985) | Apr 23, 2017 | |
| 3221 | Article | Hoju Koolander | I can totally see this being a network Christmas special sponsored by Atari in 1981 starring Scott Baio or Michael J Fox. Such a heartwarming tale for the holidays. | Perfect Game | Dec 14, 2015 | |
| 65 | Video | Vaporman87 | I can vividly remember the first years of satellite stations changing to the Pay TV format. It took very little time for every "good" station on satellite to go fuzzy. It really aggravated me. | Save Free TV | Dec 14, 2012 | |
