2544	Article	Hoju Koolander	One of the most original stories I've read on the site. if there is a more roundabout way of getting a Nintendo, I've never heard it. Seriously, loved it.	How I Got My NES	Aug 18, 2015
2543	Article	massreality	I LOVE Trick or Treat. I was working at Blockbuster when they were selling off the old VHS copy and I had no idea what it was. I was huge in 80's metal, so I figured, it's got Ozzy and Gene Simmons, I might as well pick it up. I wasn't ready for the awesomeness that ensued. Awesome cheesy 80's horror, with some great music, and over the top special effects. It's an all around good time.	Heavy Metal-Sploitation Part 1	Aug 18, 2015
2542	Article	Vaporman87	I have to say, I wasn't aware that films like this had their own genre... Heavy Metal-sploitation. But it certainly fits. This undoubtedly tapped into a lot of frustration and angst being felt by young fans of Heavy Metal, and kids who've been on the receiving end of a bully's wrath. I was one of those kids too. I was probably one of the shortest kids in my school, and an art nerd at that. So I can relate. Somehow, I managed to steer clear of confrontation for the most part. Sure, there was the occasion when my books were knocked out of my hands from behind, or the stupid "Made Ya Flinch!" fake punch that meant you had to receive a raised knuckle pounding to the arm (seriously... for having good reflexes?), but I kept to myself and away from those I knew might cause me trouble. I can see a movie like this helping to cope with all that. Nowadays, there is such an anti-bully movement going on that such things are borderline criminal. Which, I suppose, is a good thing. But it does make one wonder how prepared kids will be when they face that sort of thing in "real life". You need to know how to face confrontation in life, and how to avoid it. Hopefully that is also something happening in today's schools. But I doubt it.	Heavy Metal-Sploitation Part 1	Aug 18, 2015
2541	Article	mickyarber	Very fun article! Brings back a lot of memories of my own and what I went through to get mine.	How I Got My NES	Aug 18, 2015
2540	Article	onipar	Wow, what a cool story! I wish I could remember how I got my first Nintendo, but I guess it was just a mundane occurrence for me. Loved reading this one, cheers!	How I Got My NES	Aug 18, 2015
2539	Article	Vaporman87	No doubt, that was a tearjerker for me growing up. I loved the movie so much, but it was hard to get through the whole thing sometimes knowing what was to come. When I first saw the film, the tension that was building when Atreyu tries to pass by the Oracle Statues really had me biting my nails. I'll never forget that feeling. As an adult, you expect things to turn out okay for the protagonist because if it doesn't, the moviegoers will be very upset. But as a kid, you figure his chances are about as good as your own, and that doesn't inspire confidence. LOL Like you said though, the ending makes it all worth it. Fun fact: The voice of Falkor is also the voice of Man-At-Arms and many other MOTU characters from the original He-Man series.	Movies that damaged me as a child - Part 1	Aug 18, 2015
2538	Article	Vaporman87	Great story mass! What a odd and interesting way to finally end up with an NES. The year I and my brother first got an NES of our own was probably the greatest Christmas (as far as sheer number of awesome presents) I ever had. Not only did we get the NES and games, but also we each got our own ATVs! It was crazy. I'll never forget that Christmas.	How I Got My NES	Aug 18, 2015
