| 2516 | Article | echidna64 | This brings back a "web" of nostalgia. I miss Todd McFarlane's gritty take on the Spider-Man comics. Not gonna lie, I spun up a new trilogy in my mind once I heard that there would be another reboot of the film franchise. Regrettably, it might be a long time before see an older and more tortured Peter Parker ala Maximum Carnage. | Aug 13, 2015 |  | |

| 4553 | Article | Superman | This article reminds me so much of the fun my cousin and I used to have when he used to come over on the weekend or (even better) the times he spent the whole summer over at my house. They were fun times I'd love to relive. I'm glad the two of you managed to enjoy reliving a bit of your childhoods for a night. | Rad Retro Weekend Part 1 | Sep 16, 2018 | |
| 3669 | Article | Superman | This article reminds me of the time my aunt gave me a sweater for Christmas and gave my cousin an X-Men X-Jet. I couldn't help but be a bit disappointed... | Christmas 64 | Jan 05, 2017 | |

| 3667 | Article | Trigonis | This article raises an important topic: "...at what point does profit trump our nostalgia?" I don't know the answer either, but I think there are two sides here: The ones wearing the 1985 goggles (to borrow the author's terms) who are so sucked into the nostalgia of their youth that they are petrified with fear of change to set that aside and see the new M.A.S.K. for what it is. A good story (but that REVOLUTION storyline with the Joes and Transformers, that was utter trash, sorry to say –– best thing about it was M.A.S.K.) –– that aims to "neutralize" past aspects of the original and beloved '85 series, namely the premise of transforming vehicles with superpowered masks, which I think is sufficient for the nostalgia factor, with a more innovative and sharper edge that's much more relevant for today's audiences. I highly doubt IDW, Brandon, Tony, and Tommy are swimming Scrooge McDuck-style in gold coins with this series, so I don't think it's a question of profit trumping nostalgia, it's about us trumping our own nostalgia and enjoying a good story. And this is coming from someone who also has fond memories of sitting around with my M.A.S.K. toys as a kid at Christmas. But that was in 1985. The only reason I'm enjoying the new M.A.S.K. is because IDW and the creators are not trying to smack me with nostalgia in anything except the covers; instead, they've given us something completely new, and I for one appreciate them not messing with my childhood too much. | The Rebirth of M.A.S.K. and the Nostalgia Struggle | Jan 05, 2017 | |

| 1511 | Article | Vaporman87 | This article is right in my wheelhouse! Around the mid to late 80's, I got my first video camera. This camera, however, was not the standard VHS camcorders we are all familiar with. The first camera I got was the infamous Fisher Price PXL 2000. <img src="http://1-ps.googleusercontent.com/x/www.retrothing.com/retrothing.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/02/17/xpxl_prod_shot.jpg.pagespeed.ic.tZxlCWyvc1.jpg"> The camera that now has a cult following <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PXL-2000">cult following</a>. I mostly used it to record dumb things like my hamster pooping on our kitchen table and such. In fact, I still have some of the cassette tapes with the video on them. However, I lost/sold??? my PXL 2000 years ago, and have no way of viewing any video that may still be on them. If I am to buy another PXL 2000, it's going to be costly (as they fetch $200 to $500 on Ebay). Later on, I got a REAL camera for Christmas... and the rest is history. We made movies like they were going out of style. Most of them were just dreadful and stupid. There were the occasional "above mediocre" films that we did. One of them I have uploaded to the site... <a href="http://retro-daze.org/site/video/id/96">The Lost Few</a>. That particular version of the movie is a remastered one. The original cut was so bad! Watch the remastered version, then try to imagine how it could be so much worse. Then try to come to the realization that it is. LOL We would mostly film silly comedy stuff. Filming something serious would require a budget and effects unless it was a drama, and since we hated dramas, we rarely made anything outside of comedy stuff. I have whole collections of VHS tapes with our videos. I've put some of them to DVD for the sake of preserving them, while adding a few touches to help improve some of them (with better audio quality or some better editing and such. We would probably agree (we, as in me and about 2 or 3 of my friends) that our signature characters were LongBlade and Dark Wrath (from The Lost Few). But we did do some funny characters like Perv Deathwave or the brothers from the Day Series (a series of shorts where I and my brother fight to the death with weapons that are harmless, yet somehow cause us as much pain as real weapons, lol). I could go on and on and on about this. And I probably will in the days ahead. ;) Now, time to go watch the Rakeman series. :) | Making Movies on VHS | Nov 17, 2014 | |
