1877ArticleVaporman87I think I could deal with the younger kids because I actually could relate better with them. Sure, my main "clique" of friends were my age, but my younger friends and I were on the same level as far as our interests and imaginations.  Feb 03, 2015View
1879ArticleVaporman87You've really hit a groove now fuschnikt. Great read! This had to have been a great birthday part. Dino Riders were really cool toys. It was a toy line that I always wished I had more of. My brother actually had several, and we would play with them extensively when the mood struck us. Boglins were another property I had none of. But my friend's Boglin made it's way into at least one of our homemade movies. LOL. I have no doubt that our investigative members can find out what some of those other goodies are.

1880ArticleVaporman87I forgot to mention that you should try recording those Dino Riders ads off and get them uploaded to the site. I don't think we have much Dino Riders video content.Surprise Party! : 1987Feb 03, 2015View
1883ArticleVaporman87Cool. That'd be great pika. Surprise Party! : 1987Feb 04, 2015View
1888ArticleVaporman87Ha! What a story. That is just cruel of your brother. I feel so bad for the young you, lying in bed, scared to death of your fate. Sadly, it is this type of thing that turns people away from most Christian denominations, and religion altogether. They don't like the idea of the slightest wrong doing damning them to a life in H-E-double hockey sticks (LOL). The truth is far more complicated than that, and likely none of us truly know it fully. But how could a child possibly understand that? That is why, unlike my parents, I do not wish for my kids to hear the "fire and brimstone" sermons. They can't comprehend it, and it will only make their life miserable at a time when they need to be loving it. No pastor or laymen is our judge, and nothing they say is infallible. Such things must be discovered and dealt with at a more appropriate age, and through their own research and contemplation. I don't want my kids scared into my religion. I want them to choose. Naturally, I want them to choose a certain path, but I can't allow them to be coerced by fear or guilt. That won't lead to a full or rich experience at all. Of course, they WILL deal with fear and guilt. But they must be able to comprehend a much larger picture. And right now, they can't. Anyway, on a lighter note, I LOVE the captions to the pictures! LOL. "there IS the matter of this 'thumb' thing". Awesome.This Is Why I'm Going To HellFeb 05, 2015View
1889ArticleVaporman87Ha! Two articles in one week with Simpsons references (the other by fuschnikt)... that's got to be a record! I had no idea The Simpsons had their very own magazine. I should have figured though, as in the 90's everything had it's own magazine. I like all the "inside" information that was in these. Though I was never really a huge Simpsons fan, I did catch it now and then. Not enough to know about some of the more obscure characters that got better treatment in these pages. I owned very little Simpsons merchandise, but I did buy a Simpsons cassette tape with music on it, sung by the Simpsons themselves. I wonder if that's worth money on Ebay now?

1893ArticleVaporman87I had reached that point in my life where sports became important to me (namely basketball and hockey) so I was watching that, or Unsolved Mysteries, and some of the sitcoms like Cheers, Night Court, etc.Simpsons Illustrated and 90's Magazine AdsFeb 06, 2015View
1895ArticleVaporman87Very well said fuschnikt. Those kids are in good hands with you.This Is Why I'm Going To HellFeb 06, 2015View
1899ArticleVaporman87It's sad to see what has happened through the years. It's not something that is unusual though. The internet is full of once promising nostalgia sites that have all but died now. Trust me, I've searched about as thoroughly as any human can for others like us. If any nostalgia sites are thriving now, it's because they are "retrogaming" sites, of which there are like 50,000,000 out there. Few sites replicate what RetroJunk originated. Sydlexia and Plaid Stallions are about as close to RJ as I've found, and even they are different in that the owners are the exclusive article writers. Nostalgia sites are hanging on by a thread. Facebook and social media have become the replacement for sharing memories, albeit in micro form. I think Vertex reached a point where he had a choice... either invest in improving the site for the users, or improving the site for the money it could make. A simple layout with flashy Google Ads would be the perfect place to land potential clickers. The huge mass of content would draw them in, and the ads and layout would handle the rest. My interest in impressing Google is no less than Vertex's, but for different reasons. For me it's simple... the more, the merrier. I just wish Vertex had made the other choice.Remembering RetroJunkFeb 08, 2015View
1918ArticleVaporman87@Ben: It's cool bro. Life happens. This article makes me wish I had registered much sooner. I didn't pay much attention to the forum during my lurking years. Just the articles and comments mostly. Even so, it was obvious that the scrutiny was always present. Yet I still saw fit to submit stuff with no pictures. Derp!Remembering RetroJunkFeb 09, 2015View
