| 2105 | Article | Vaporman87 | I think, even with these "dollar store" toys, you still get what you pay for. Even if it's a dollar more than the other package, the more expensive item is likely made a little bit better. My typical cheap toy choices were things like plastic insects, silly putty, or army men. | Mar 19, 2015 |  | |
| 2106 | Article | Vaporman87 | I should say that I certainly don't disregard the entire decade as "not that special". When I say that I felt it lacked it's own identity, I didn't mean that to say it wasn't still special. I know for those spending their formative years in the nineties, they were the most special decade ever. Thankfully, that decade had many things carry over from the eighties, and those kids could benefit from the spirit of the eighties. Something I don't think millennials can appreciate. | What the Nineties Mean to Me | Mar 19, 2015 | |
| 2111 | Article | Vaporman87 | Firstly, it's great to see you making your mark here at long last mass! You've been hiding some excellent writing talent from us for far too long. Secondly, I played every single one of these titles (though some NOT on PC) and have my own experiences and memories of each. However, I'm only going to concentrate on two of them. Ahh, Nascar Racing. And here I thought Papyrus' first Nascar outing had been completely lost in the dustbin of history. I loved this game for a short time when it first came out. My favorite thing about the game (as with most PC games I played) was the option for customization. I loved being able to create my own Nascar ride, complete with stickers and designs of my own creation. My car was sponsored by Rutland Furniture (our furniture store at the time). LOL. The #87 Rutland Furniture car was well known in the Nascar Racing universe for doing a 180 and heading in the reverse direction, making contact with the first car heading the other way, and watching as complete and utter destruction followed. Man, pieces of cars would fly everywhere in that game. I loved that. And since it was just a game, I was not disqualified for it, so I would turn around and win the race because nobody else's cars survived the turmoil. LOL Finally, NBA Live! I can't remember what year it was, but my copy of NBA Live allowed you to create, not just teams, but ENTIRE LEAGUES! I never played with the NBA guys. I instead created an entire league based on a fictional league my brother and I created in order to perform a sports radio program that we recorded on cassette tape. I made the rosters for 12 teams, one player at a time, and watched as I took myself out of the game, and just let the CPU handle the teams and who would win. It was as close to creating your own basketball league and watching the drama play out as you could get. I hate that NBA games these days don't allow this level of customization anymore. I miss that dearly. | My Favorite PC Games of the 90's | Mar 20, 2015 | |
| 2113 | Article | Vaporman87 | No, no, no, no, no, no... NO! It can't end like this. You danced with the girl of all girls! What happened after this? Did you call her? Did you see her again after that? C'mon man... don't leave us hanging! Cliffhangers aside, I can only wish I had a story like this to relate. Well, I suppose I have had dances like that (just Proms though) where I was thinking, "Wow. This is really happening right now." But not when it was a girl whom I had this overbearing fancy for. That's just... childhood magic. No... most of my dances were spent sitting on the bleachers, watching others enjoy themselves. Typically I was focusing on one girl in particular, hoping she would show up. Not to dance with her, as I had no guts to ask and she was WAY out of my league, but to just watch and take in her beauty in whatever nice dress she'd be wearing. Yeah... it was pretty pathetic to be me sometimes. LOL | Dirty Dancing | Mar 20, 2015 | |
| 2120 | Article | Vaporman87 | @vkimo: Sounds like an episode of the Twilight Zone! LOL. Boy has huge crush on girl... girl obliges boy... girl gets fixated on boy... boy fears for his life because girl won't leave him alone... EVER. | Dirty Dancing | Mar 20, 2015 | |
| 2125 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, Danny was not a humorous character. More of a straight, squeaky clean type who helped keep the others grounded. | Top 5 TV Dads of the 80's | Mar 20, 2015 | |
| 2123 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. This is a heaping helping of Twilight Zone awesomeness. I never really had the chance to watch but just a few of the episodes of the old show, but what I did see always creeped me out. I think the fact that the show was in black and white added to that creepiness. I always feared that, as I watched an episode unfold, I would be tricked into thinking the ending was going to be a happy one. Then have that notion flipped on it's head when a final twist arrived. The show would do that from time to time, like someone handing you a piece of candy and then pulling it away and laughing maniacally. LOL | Forgotten Twilight Zone Episodes | Mar 20, 2015 | |
| 2132 | Article | Vaporman87 | Any time you wanted a game, you should have told him it was "multi-genre" and had a racing portion somewhere in there. | My Favorite PC Games of the 90's | Mar 22, 2015 | |
| 2133 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's a lot of great tunes with eyes. I would say this is a pretty great list that I don't think I would change. Also, I ALMOST got every one of the eye pictures right. I missed but one! | Top 80s Songs with EYE in the Title (+Bonus 80s Eye Quiz) | Mar 22, 2015 | |
| 2134 | Article | Vaporman87 | I wish I could say that I shared in these experiences of shock in old games. I found out about Samus before I had even played one level in the game itself, thanks for my friend who had owned the game long before me. Aerith's death was something that magazines and my brother were making a big deal of, but I was not an RPG nerd, so I did not know or care about that. The fatalities of MK didn't shock me, as I had performed several in the arcades prior to getting the games on home consoles. I would say that, if I could pick one thing from an old game that shocked me, it would be hearing the sound of a voice coming from a game for the first time ever. B-17 bomber for the Intellivision was the first game to hold that honor for me. The first time I heard those words uttered from that cartridge made my eyes open wide. | Shock Me, Shock Me, Shock Me… | Mar 22, 2015 | |
