| 3570 | Article | SockofFleagulls | @mickyarber thanks for the kind words! We Gobots fans need to stick together. @massreality Thanks! | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 13, 2016 |  |
| 3569 | Article | NLogan | When I won a X-Box 360 and gave it to my boys I opened it and created profiles and downloaded games like the week before so that it was ready to roll Christmas morning. That F-14 looks sweet. I had WWII fighter that was gas powered but flew in a circle on a hand held line. I never did get a Genesis but I loved me some Altered Beast in the arcade and secretly wanted one but the Nintendo dominated in my house. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3568 | Article | NLogan | I don't know about a hot toys Yoda but I passed once on a pretty cool one that was 1:1 size. I could have picked it as part of a costume contest win. Instead of going all for one thing I decided to get lots of little things. Too bad your bro never got one, cool that you are going to finally get him his Christmas wish. <img src="/images/postImages/1481582526darthmaul-(17).gif"> | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3567 | Article | Vaporman87 | @vkimo: You said it, brother. All the rigamaro involved in setting up a console these days just sucks the fun out of it. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3566 | Article | vkimo | Thanks for sharing. It's very poignant how video games help kids find refuge at times. Ever since the mid 80s the quintessential game console has taken the number on spot on most boys wishlists. I feel the magic is gone on todays consoles. I remember getting a Xbox 360 and spending 20 minutes to set up a profile and download the latest firmware, kind of killed the excitement | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3565 | Article | vkimo | @micky- My wife told me about that shortly after I told her about the article. Although in this case it was a Hooters restaurant doing the prank as a sales contest, the waitress sued though. I guess the confusion for Yoda and pickups isn't ungrounded, which should cheer him up haha | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3564 | Article | mickyarber | I had a very similar experience (without the divorce) when I got my Super Nintendo for Christmas one year. I begged for it for months, and on Christmas morning, I opened an SNES game first. My parents played it off, saying it was a mistake and it was for my brother. (He already had and SNES since he was working). But at the end of the morning, there was the SNES in the last package. I seem to recall having a very similar, if not the exact same, remote controlled fighter jet once upon a time too. But good read, and you really triggered some old memories for me. | A Very Sega Christmas | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3563 | Article | mickyarber | First off, I too was a huge Gobots fan, and took a lot of flak from my friends because they all thought Transformers were cooler. Secondly, I absolutely love those old pictures of your Christmas. I'm such a sucker for old family Christmas pics, and these really hit the spot. Third, being around that age and getting a camera is something really special isn't it? In 1988, I got a video recorder that used a special kind of cassette tape, and you could hook it up to the tv and play back whatever you recorded. Awesome sauce! Great Christmas memories in this one, and so glad you shared it and those awesome pictures. | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3562 | Article | mickyarber | Holy crap man. Your article last year struck a nerve with me, and now you bust out this Christmas classic. I know it may have been years ago, but I'm sitting here today feeling so sorry for your bother. This is a really good tale, and the pictures you chose are spot on. Nice work. As a side note, I remember a radio station running a contest back in '99 for a new Toyota. They had all kinds of entries, but it turned out all they were giving away was a "toy Yoda" as a tie in to the new Star Wars movie. There were a lot of angry people who claimed false advertising. It wasn't pretty. | Christmas Conundrum | Dec 12, 2016 | |
| 3561 | Article | massreality | I loved those themed cameras. I had a Ninja Turtle one back in the early 90's, that I wore out. I took pictures of just about anything and everything I could with that camera. Its so awesome that you still have some of the photos! | Christmas 1985 Through My Gobots Camera Lens | Dec 12, 2016 | |
