| 1590 | Article | Vaporman87 | Firstly, I have to acknowledge that your skill at creating a quality article has improved VASTLY over the course of your 3 submissions. This was a really fun and well crafted article! Well done. Secondly, I love this story. It's starts with the premise of learning that Santa isn't real, but then slowly shifts into a frantic plea for the toy you really wanted most, with no time to spare (with them being discontinued). Then, when the time does come to open those gifts, the idea of Santa not being real kind of comes out of nowhere. I thought to myself, "Oh yeah! I had forgotten all about that." I don't remember when it was that I actually came to the realization that Santa was not real. I think it just happened over the course of time, slowly. My parents never actually sat me down and explained it (that I can remember). It was just "assumed" after some time that I knew, and that they knew I knew. Dealing with this is going to be difficult, for me as a dad. But I have found some good explanations (thank you internet) that should help ease the transition from cartoony Santa dropping down chimneys, to Saint Nicholas - the man who served God by helping others (a tradition that parents help carry on). | Dec 10, 2014 |  | |
| 1588 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's good to see you BOTH stopping by now and then. It's nice to have places to come and share thoughts and stories together, in addition to the sites and podcasts we all maintain on our own. Thanks guys! Jason, I added a plug for your site to bottom of this article. | 8 Meltdowns That Actually Guided Clark Griswold To His 'Christmas Vacation' | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1587 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @NLogan I almost referenced the Big Trouble In Little China Raiden/Rayden, he was always featured in the Saturday afternoon commercials for local TV broadcasts of the movie. I never knew about the different spellings or the breakdown in the original Japanese. Cool! @Vaporman87 Typing letters to magazines/newspapers, the original comments section! I bet your letter was infamous around the EGM offices. Scorpion was always my favorite guy as well. I had an obsession with grappling hooks, so his weapon of choice gave him instant status with me. Speaking of which, correction in the second to last paragraph: Johnny Cage fought Scorpion, not Liu Kang. Those freakin' colorful ninjas... | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1586 | Article | NLogan | Raiden (game spelling) and lightning from the three storms are way cooler than Rayden (movie and comic book spelling). Rai and den means thunder and lightning in Japanese, and is based off of Raijin the Shinto thunder and lightning god. He looks just like the Taoist god of thunder and has the Chinese character for thunder on his uniform. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1585 | Article | Vaporman87 | By the mid-90's, KB Toys (KayBee Toys) had become a go-to place for toys that had been out of production for a couple years. And, by 1997 (when hype was building for the awful mess that was Godzilla '98), Trendmasters' Godzilla toy line had ceased production (as did Trendmasters altogether - they filed bankruptcy). The prices of those figures, especially the 12" line, had increased tremendously on the only existing online aftermarket of that time (Ebay). So, my mission was clear. I began mapping out EVERY mall with a KayBee Toys in it within a 100 mile radius. Every weekend (and sometimes weekdays) I would travel to another mall, check out the KayBee Toys for Trendmasters Godzilla figures, collect my treasures, and head home. I did that for probably a year. I sold most of what I had found, but also supplemented my own collection (which I still have today). Ahh, the days of bachelorhood when you could just leave on stupid trips like that for no good reason. Yeah, I don't miss those days. They all feel wasted now. | Christmas of 1994 | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1584 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan: LOL! Yeah, that "Rayden" was actually much cooler than the Lambert Rayden. Awesome movie. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
| 1583 | Article | NLogan | <img src="/images/postImages/14182242597457398_4_l.jpg"> Raiden was my favorite from Big Trouble in Little China. Shang Tsung was my favorite from the movie not because I liked it, But because I met the actor Carey Hiroyuki Tagawa and he was awesome and a super nice guy. As for the video game I never played it much preferring to spend my quarters elsewhere. It never came out on the original NES that I rocked until college. | Mortal Kombat Memories | Dec 10, 2014 | |
