I'd like to see them boot up a few more properties, and pay homage to them in the same way they did with Inspector Gadget (which is very faithful to the original aside from a few new characters and aging Penny a bit).</i></blockquote></i></blockquote>I'd love to see a Count Duckula reboot too. Maybe Duckyboos will make an appearance in the DM reboot. *hoping* :D | Batty | Jul 16, 2015 | |
| 22079 | Retro-Daze let's get healthy! | I do a lot of cycling and walking. Also changing my diet due to being diagnosed with Type II diabetes. Its helping. I've lost 30 lbs since October of last year. Just want to lose about 30 more. That has been the toughest weight to lose. Time to join a gym! | DebrisStorm | Jul 16, 2015 | |

| 22077 | Ghostbusters Reboot | I've read that they're with that the original Ghostbusters never existed. I have some major problems with the movie. None of which are the fact that it's all women.<span style="font-size: 13.3333330154419px;"> (Even though I can't stand Kristin Wiig.)</span><div><br></div><div>1. The uniforms. They lack character when compared with the originals. They just look so bland. The reflective stripes just don't work.</div><div>2. The particle accelerators just look like they were made for cosplay. Again, no character to them either. (And what's with the radiation symbol having a heart in the center? Is it because they're women?)</div><div>3. The new Ecto-1. Why is it a hearse? The original was an ambulance and I liked that. It felt like help and hope was coming to rescue you. The hearse feels like death is coming and that's not what you want when you call for help.</div><div><br></div><div>All of my complaints purely aesthetic and visual.</div> | DebrisStorm | Jul 16, 2015 | |
| 22076 | Coca-Cola | I preferred Coke over Pepsi when I drank pop. It had a stronger taste that wasn't as sweet. But Dr. Pepper was, and always will be, my favorite. The diet version of it actually tastes good. But I'm working on cutting all pops out of my diet. Its rough to do. | DebrisStorm | Jul 16, 2015 | |
| 22075 | Suicide Squad Movie | There's two sets of people who have reacted to this. Those who just absolutely love it and those who just flat out hate it. It did nothing for me, so I'm passing. The best part to come from SDCC was the Star Wars behind the scenes. I seriously almost cried during it. Just so much right is being done for that film. | DebrisStorm | Jul 16, 2015 | |
| 22074 | Coca-Cola | Coke has always been better at tickling your nostalgia bone. Especially with their Christmas marketing. For that, I give them huge kudos.<br><br>Oh yeah... it also tastes better. <img src="http://www.retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavTongue.gif"> | Vaporman87 | Jul 16, 2015 | |
| 22073 | How do you feel about your age? | <blockquote rel="vkimo"><b>vkimo wrote :<br></b><i>Vapor, I always looked up to you. The family man who takes care of his family and can provide for them like a boss. Your business must be pretty successful because I know Retro-Daze isn't cheap, the contest prizes are always jaw dropping AND you take like 2 trips to Disneyland a year haha. I hope I can one day provide like that, excellent work man. As far as your health issues, are they really serious, or is your anxiety amplifying them? You don't seem like the drinking/tobacco type so I can't imagine anything being too bad. <br> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote>As far as the business is concerned, all the credit belongs to my grandfather. It is, and always will be, his business, and I'm merely looking after for him. I still hear stories from people who dealt with him... always heartwarming. He is greatly missed.<br><br>As far as health issues, there is no doubt that my anxiety amplifies them. My mental battles make my physical ones more difficult than they should be. In some cases, the trials of my mind have directly affected me physically. My last OCD episode (which took place around 10 or 11 months ago) caused me to suffer heart arrhythmia (sometimes called "skipping a beat"). I took magnesium to make them subside, which must have worked - either that or they just went away when my stress finally subsided. Keeping myself on an even keel is a balancing act that I perform daily. But I happily do it, for my family.<br><blockquote rel="massreality"><b>massreality wrote :</b><br><i> I struggled through my late twenties. About a month out from my birthday, I'd get mega depressed while looking back at my life. I'd just think "I'm not where I want to be or where I expected to be." Turning thirty was even worse, but when I turned thirty-one, things came a little easier to me.<div><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I still feel like a kid playing grown up. I'm still in the same mind frame that I was when I was nineteen and that bothers me at times. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to progress past this, but I'm beginning to think no one ever really does.</span><div><div><br></div><div>Whenever I get really depressed, I like to revisit the past. It makes me feel comfortable again. For years, I'd only visit RetroJunk whenever I was about to hit rock bottom, but once I started coming here that all sort of stopped. I'm not saying I don't still get depressed, but its nice to be around a community of like minded people, who love to share stories from their past. I think its the constant reminder of easier (and arguably better times) that helps keep me adjusted at times.</div></div></div> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote>The truth... I cried when I turned 30. :lol: That is absolutely the truth. Ask my wife. It wasn't as bad turning 40, but again, I was faced with my own mortality in a way that I never had been before.<br><br>I know how you feel... and so far, I have not progressed passed my youth either. Sure I'm wiser, more responsible, etc. but I still feel like a high school kid trying to live life as a 41 year old.<br><br>Keeping this place alive and relevant keeps my mind busy and focused on things I love. Otherwise, who knows what other worrisome or anxiety-inducing things it would zero in on. And despite all my worry over them, my family is also my source of relaxation and distraction from my cares. When I play with my kids, I'm not thinking about the trials I DON'T want them to face. I'm just enjoying being a part of their imaginations.<br><br><blockquote rel="jkatz"><b>jkatz wrote :</b><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-center; font-weight: bold;"></span><br><i><div><span style="font-style: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; text-align: -webkit-center; background-color: rgb(254, 253, 249);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span><div><span style="font-weight: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(254, 253, 249);"><div style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><span style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px; font-style: italic; font-size: 10pt; font-size: 10pt;"></span><div style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;"><div style="padding: 0px; margin: 0px;">Retrodaze meetup when?</div></div></div></span></div></div> </i><b>-end quote</b></blockquote>Sometime in 1985, preferably. ;) Break out your time machines.<br> | Vaporman87 | Jul 16, 2015 | |
