| 1461 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah. Re-Animator can be a bit much. Though from what little I've seen, today's graphic content in movies like Saw and such is far worse. They make me physically sick... for real. And from what I hear, there is far worse than that out there (Human Centipede? - do we really need these movies in our society?). Mad Monster Party is fun. Good for the whole family. | Oct 20, 2014 |  | |
| 1464 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan: That's awesome. Sounds like your wife has all she needs to make her best Olivia impression convincing. :) My wife will be Velma in our Scooby-Doo party. I'm Fred. My oldest son will be Shaggy and my youngest, Scooby. My daughter will be Daphne, and my best friend will be The Creeper (found an actual licensed mask for it!) | Frilly and Scary | Oct 20, 2014 | |
| 1471 | Article | Vaporman87 | Pictures would be nice. LOL. But I've been the one who posted articles with no pictures at RetroJunk, so we don't always know what the others like to see. A scary story for sure. If ever there was a reason NOT to drink... | The Meeting | Oct 21, 2014 | |
| 1488 | Article | Vaporman87 | There is so much about wrestling in the 80's that I could go on about. I was so convinced it was all real, and the drama could make your blood boil. Naturally I was always rooting for Hulk Hogan to win everything. He and Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake were two of my favorites. The Undertaker came along some time later and soon became my favorite as well. I loved Roddy Piper. Yeah, he was usually a heel... but he was so good at it that you just had to like him. Macho Man was another favorite of mine. He was so kooky and Elizabeth was a beauty that every young boy loved. I like the style of Ricky Steamboat though. He was a great wrestler and knew how to put on a show with just in ring maneuvers. Those were the matches you really loved watching... the ones with guys who could actually impress you with what they could do. Not just running around doing clotheslines and leg drops. And then there were the managers (which only ever seemed to work with heels). Always there to make trouble and you just wished these idiot good guys would just bring their own outside the ring helper to fend off the cheaters! The fun and excitement faded with time. Like you said, there was something magical in the 80's when you knew who were the good guys and who to root against, and then joined the other millions of fans to watch. It was a soap opera for men, and it was exceptional at capturing our attentions. That isn't to say that it isn't still good at capturing attention. But it's different now. The magic of not quite being sure if it's real or not... and whether or not these guys really hated each other... it's gone. We all know it's fake, and they make no effort to hide it any more. The drama that catches headlines is more real now... what really is happening behind the curtain, and that's just not magical. It's the gritty and grim reality we all live in, and hoped to escape from when we sat down to catch a match. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 04, 2014 | |
| 1490 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, The Brain was the best there ever has been at playing the part of annoying heel manager. So good. And then when he started commentating on the matches his dialogue got even better. I miss those days. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 04, 2014 | |
| 1493 | Article | Vaporman87 | There was indeed alienation going on in the attitude era. Nobody wanted their kids watching that style of drama and violence. | When Wrestling Rocked | Nov 05, 2014 | |
| 1495 | Article | Vaporman87 | It did indeed make it's way to my neighborhood. I myself was not immune to it, and had my own board. It wasn't anything fancy, that's for sure, but it did the job. I got good enough to keep it moving, but that was it. I just didn't have the time or inclination to learn much more than that. I had my bike, and my roller skates and that was good enough for me. Now outside of town, we have a skater culture that you wouldn't want any part of. It's a place where the worst of the worst come to make messes, punch each other, and drink until they can't breath. It's awful. Thankfully they only convene once a year for their biggest stupidfest. And you always know when that's coming, because you see them buzzing to and fro... they are unmistakable. There is a documentary on this place, but I'm not promoting here as I've already mentioned it more than it deserves in the forum some time ago. Last time they had their "thing", a camera crew with a giant black Winnebago and a van with a bumper mounted camera was following the "ring leader" of this bunch into our local department store. Hurray. | Skate or Die | Nov 07, 2014 | |
| 1499 | Article | Vaporman87 | The documentary on our local crazies is called "Skatopia: 88 Acres of Anarchy" which is also available on NetFlix. Prepare to be disturbed. lol | Skate or Die | Nov 08, 2014 | |
| 1503 | Article | Vaporman87 | I only ever owned the Lazer Tag sets, so I can't comment on Photon. However, Lazer Tag was great fun when it was released. Although the sensors didn't always work well (not registering hits when it should have). I've never actually done the indoor arena thing. I've considered it many times throughout the years, but just never committed to doing it. I'm guessing it's quite fun with a group of family or friends. This article contained a lot of info I was not previously aware of, so thanks for shedding light on it. | Laser-Daze: Photon vs Lazer Tag | Nov 13, 2014 | |
| 1505 | Video | Vaporman87 | One of my all time favorite shows of the 90's. Jon Lovitz was so perfect for this, like he was made for it. | The Critic intro and credits | Nov 14, 2014 | |
