| 3668 | 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. | Jan 05, 2017 |  | |
| 3852 | Article | jkatz | This article reminded me that I had a Nickelodeon version of 3D movie maker as a kid! I must've put in hundreds of hours into that game. | 1990s Edutainment | Apr 23, 2017 | |
| 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 2705 | Article | comic_book_fan | this article was a form of therapy i had to make it but almost wished i hadn't when i did | TV Theme Songs I Loved, But Never Cared For The Show | Sep 22, 2015 | |
| 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. | Spider-Man & Venom Action Figure Retrospective Part 2 | Aug 13, 2015 | |

| 5203 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | This brought back some memories Ben. I too would go too Suncoast to pick up all my anime. It's something that has been lost as technology has taken over. | Making the anime nerd transition | May 14, 2020 | |
| 5169 | Article | Rick Ace Rhodes | This brought back some memories. Sapphire and Ruby were the era that got me into playing Pokemon. I remember taking my GBA everywhere I went and playing Sapphire. I eventually got Emerald, LeafGreen and FireRed (Ruby unfortunately escaped me). I was so hyped for Diamond and Pearl. After I defeated those two however is when I started losing interest in Pokemon. | The Pok'emon Fad: The After Years | Apr 04, 2020 | |
| 3503 | Article | Vaporman87 | This captures the whole Virtual Reality craze SOOO well. It is indeed laughable to think back on what we considered to be "virtual reality" in those early days. I never really experienced anything, even still today, that I could consider to be authentic virtual reality. But we are certainly getting closer than ever. What with Google and many other tech companies presenting their futurewares that will produce images from the gear on your face that "adhere" to the surfaces around you, and so forth. We could be fast approaching the style of virtual reality that we thought we would get from films like Lawnmower Man. Time will tell. | Virtual Reality | Apr 06, 2016 | |
