| 448 | Larry Bird & Magic Johnson | What amazes me is that after all these years, Magic Johnson is still surviving AIDS. How does he do it? | Mr Magic | Jan 14, 2013 | |
| 447 | Galaga | Ha! I love that story. It makes my connection to it seem so much less integral. | Vaporman87 | Jan 14, 2013 | |
| 446 | Back to the Future | So much difference in the dialogue as well. I have to say, I'm glad the script was re-written. [offtopic]Now, the Emmerich/Devlin Godzilla movie on the other hand... ...man, they should've stuck with the Jan DeBont script.[/offtopic] | Vaporman87 | Jan 14, 2013 | |
| 445 | Back to the Future | I'm not sure of the prevalence of bootlegging at the time, but I do know prerecorded tapes were very expensive. Especially as this was written in 1980/81. Maybe it was to make him seem more of a rebel. Or to fit in with the setting (in the present, the city is run down, with lots of abandoned buildings and boarded up windows.) | shakin steak | Jan 14, 2013 | |
| 444 | Galaga | When I was 5 years old, I didn't play video games. I just didn't get them. Pinball was what appealed to me, with its physical playfield and real action. That all changed during a camping trip one summer. My parents loved to camp. We would go to a different camp site every time. That was one of our standard vacations. The tents and suitcases full of clothes went in a car top carrier. In the back seat, my brother and I would sit with the cooler between us. That gave us a physical separation to keep us from fighting, as well as easy access when we got hungry or thirsty during the drive. The campsite for this year was unique, as far as I can recall. It was in the woods, but we could walk to the beach. A rental house near the beach was our other standard vacation. Every year we would do one or the other. This year they were combined. Anyhoo, I was in the ocean, just kind of hanging out with my father, when I saw a dollar, floating along on top of the water. I couldn't believe it. This was magic. I don't think I had much of a concept of money at the time, but I knew what it was on the most basic level. I picked it up and my father told me to be sure and hang on to it. That night, I wandered over to the campground office. I knew I had seen something there during our check-in; something that needed money to do. I walked in. There was only a ping pong table, an upright video game cabinet, and a split door to the back room where the campground manager spent the day. No pinball. The office was empty. I was alone, so ping pong was out. I turned to the video game...Galaga. I peered at the screen, where a rocket ship moved back and forth, dodging big bugs. I was a little wary, but short of other options, I decided to give it a try. I put my first ever very own dollar into the change machine, and returned to Galaga. I dropped the first quarter in... I don't remember how my first game went. Of course it must have been very short. But I do remember that I used all four quarters, one after the other. I had to try again and again! That night, in a small wood paneled room in the wilderness, Galaga taught me the vagaries of the joystick. The beauty of noises that simple oscillators can make. The freedom of the video screen, and the rapture of its glow. I suppose it could have been any game of the time. Any game could have been there to open this world for me. But there was only one machine in that room. There was no Burger Time, or Mr. Do, or Pacman. No Space Invaders, no Joust, no Defender. There was only Galaga. | shakin steak | Jan 14, 2013 | |
| 443 | Back to the Future | That's an odd thing, to have Marty as a video bootlegger. Was bootlegging really a big deal in the mid-80's? | Vaporman87 | Jan 14, 2013 | |
| 442 | Update Packages 1 & 2 ready by early next week | @AceNThaHole It gives you a list of all forum posts that you can sort so you can see posts in all threads according to how recent they are, who posted them, and stuff like that. Also, I got to test all the new features this morning. Most were working great and I'm excited to have them up and going soon. However, some were not quite ready, so it may be just a bit longer before they arrive. Maybe a day or so. | Vaporman87 | Jan 14, 2013 | |

| 440 | 1995 | I got into shows Frasier and Friends. I started watching K-dramas. I saw the Power Rangers movie. Clueless fashion was in style with mini skirts, thigh high socks and loafers. I started wearing juniors sized clothes. Mini backpack purses. | pikachulover | Jan 14, 2013 | |
