3865	Article	Caps 2.0	My fear of New York City came into effect after my Dad died. He worked in the city for what was called Nynex at the time, and he would occasionally take me or my brother into the city with him to spend a day at work, after which we might do something like visit a museum or cross the Hudson River into New Jersey and attend a Giants game. My dad was a Vietnam veteran and one of the toughest, yet gentlest people I knew. He died when I was 12, and I no longer felt safe visiting the city. It didn't help that my mom, with whom I had a fractured and bitter relationship, didn't understand why I was afraid of the city. She was born and raised in the Bronx, so she strode through with no problem. Me? I was scared and still am.		Apr 24, 2017
3864	Article	echidna64	My favorite depiction of NY in the 80's is from the Ninja Turtles movies lol Things were pretty bad back then, nowadays you simply can't afford to live there if you make less than 100K	Retro Culture of Fear	Apr 24, 2017

3861	Article	Hoju Koolander	@Vaporman87 See in my case the warnings were all nonsense, but you guys apparently had access to the stuff. That's crazy! @mickyarber It's like I've always said, Virginia is the California of the East! OK, maybe I've never actually said that, but VA and CA share a letter!	Retro Culture of Fear	Apr 24, 2017
3860	Article	Hoju Koolander	Funny story, last year a boxed SEGA Pico system was shipped to me unannounced. I sent the word out on social media, asking for the sender to reveal themselves, but got no response. So I totally set it up for my kids with that Richard Scary game and they were having a great time. A few days later I got an email from an eBay seller from whom I had won an auction, saying he accidentally shipped the Pico to me and needed it returned. Ah well, it was a fun 48 hours.	1990s Edutainment	Apr 24, 2017
3859	Article	Hoju Koolander	I didn't own any He-Man toys until the 3rd or 4th wave with characters like Rokkon, Spikor and Mantenna. But I had a light up He-Man power sword at one point for my role play fun. Alot of the older kids I knew had these original figures and vehicles, so I did play with them. Buzz-Off's helmet always seemed redundant to me because it had extra Bug Eyes on it, which really bothered me.	Catalog Pages: Masters of the Universe from 1985	Apr 24, 2017
3858	Article	Hoju Koolander	Thanks for giving MarvelMan/MiracleMan some love. I have have the 1st printings of issues 1-6 in my collection and they are fantastic. So engaging and truly twisted take on what the Captain Marvel concept could be. I'm looking forward to Part 2 because that's where the the story really gets convoluted as far as rights ownership, with Todd Mcfarlane himself getting into the mix.

3856	Article	mickyarber	I'm always amazed at how mine and your childhoods mirrored each other's. Most of this is the same fears that were drilled into us in school here in Virginia. Except maybe the street gangs. I always felt the same about NYC. Through depictions on television and in movies, it always seemed dirty and violent. Then I went there for the first time and thought, "this ain't bad, hell, it's pretty cool!"	Retro Culture of Fear	Apr 24, 2017
