4989ArticleBenjanimemy super mario land article was a way of celebrating the game boy's 30th anniversary, another 1989 event that also kinda went under the radar. despite the oddities, i think this stuff is actually pretty interesting, the "ghost in a can" idea got a couple of laughs out of me. Jul 28, 2019View
553ArticleAceNThaHoleMy teachers were mostly okay with what we liked in school. I had alot of classes that dealt with media and art so, they were mostly accepting of that stuff. But if they caught you with a game at school they werent so acceptingGhosts and GumshoesMar 28, 2013View
2444ArticleVaporman87My Trapper Keepers were vaults into my imagination, which also happened to house my schoolwork. I decorated them and filled them up with tons of sketches and comics I drew during study hall. I never had a really cool backpack. They were always pretty plain looking, with no licensed product on anything on them. Now my folders were a different story. I had lots of different folders featuring cartoon characters to just funky shapes to just plain red or blue. Those too were decorated to fit my desires. Those pencils with the "bullet" leads were some of my favorites, even if they weren't that practical. I don't think owned any of those until I entered high school though. I do have a story that pertains to this subject a bit. Once, while I was cleaning out my desk while our teacher (Mr. Will, a bit of a hothead) giving a lesson, I suddenly heard the smack of my pencil box on the top of my desk and saw it shatter into pieces before me. My stuff went everywhere, including one of those compasses with the sharp point on it to hold it in place on the paper. It startled me. Then I saw that it was the teacher who had picked it up off my desk and shattered it. He didn't like that I was cleaning my desk while he was talking. He then said something to the effect of, "And I don't care if you tell your parents about this, it's your fault." Well, I did tell my mom (my parents were divorced at this time). She was dating a State Highway Patrolman at the time, who was 6'8" tall. He and my mom went to pay him a visit. LOL The next day, he apologized to me and the class, and purchased me a new box. Yeah. I think he ended up caring that I told a parent. Retro School SuppliesAug 02, 2015View
1129ArticlevkimoMy whole issue with water gun fights is that at a certain point you're soaked and the game seems to loose it's appeal quickly. Unless like us you shot at grown ups haha.In The Summer TimeJun 11, 2014View
2156ArticleJBSMy wife and I watched all the tv episodes. Then We found out there was a movie. We were like great we really liked the tv shows. So we started to watch, we could'nt make it thru. It was so disturbing we could'nt finish it. Its a shame, but it just got to crazy. Twin PeaksMar 26, 2015View
4113ArticleNLoganMy wife and I were getting ready to go to school. We were in college. We heard it first on the radio and then ran down a few apartments to our friend's place. They had cable. We watched live as the second plane hit and people started jumping from the upper floors who were trapped. We watched as two more planes were hijacked one hit the Pentagon and one went down in a field. We went to school but nearly every class cancelled. There were crowds around the televisions in the Student Center. I was taken back to junior high remembering watching the night battles in Iraq with tracer rounds and explosions. I knew we would be sucked into another war. My friends left for NY to help. I visited Washington D.C. in December of that year. I photographed the hole in the Pentagon draped by a huge flag. I went to a memorial display at the Smithsonian that had hundreds of personal items: wallets, phones, shoes, photos, rings, etc. from people who lost their lives in the towers. I saw crushed firetrucks and first responder vehicles. A few years later I went to NY and saw the cleanup and construction where the two towers used to be. I will always remember.Where Were You That September Day?Sep 11, 2017View
3768ArticleVaporman87My word... there is so much gold here. I know a few times I have encountered EXO Man on the web, with people trying to claim it as an "Iron Man" TV series. Yeah, right. But man alive... John Denver the butt-kicking agent, tiny crime fighters and claymation guys??? I want all of these ideas thrown into one series. Let's call it "Z Force" and have Scott Bakula play the role of "Z", who sends his minions out into the world to solve global mysteries in their funky, pastel-colored minivan.

5231ArticleJulieMy, what a wonderfully well-written article! ❤ What an above-average vocabulary! ❤ Written by an amazing boy gifted with a high intelligence and an angelic heart of gold. ❤ The Sega Dreamcast is really missed for that unique video quality: sharp, crispy clear video on the screen, with its powerful and genuine 60 frames per second, not sacrificing the actual screen resolution like Sony PlayStation 2 does. A pleasure to look and listen to. The nostalgic games I had were few but of the highest quality: Sonic Adventure (the first one), a major milestone in the franchise. My favorite polygonal Sonic to date in all aspects. And for me at least, it's the symbol of the Dreamcast. Seaman was a pleasant experience for me, contrary to what many report about this game. Always treating Seaman in a courteous and polite manner you gain a smart and pleasant companion to be with. And the Seaman babies were very cute, increasing my love for this game. Shenmue was an ambitious project for the Dreamcast hardware capabilities, but this game was pretty well executed in view of these limitations. Memorable and exciting; walking around the cities was very pleasant. So many great classics including all those perfect arcade conversions, and in some cases superior to the original versions, with Soul Calibur being a good example.The Dreamcast: A dream come trueAug 05, 2020View

1435ArticleNLoganNah, my big favorites were X-Men, Hulk, and Spider-Man. My favorite was Wolverine when he was still cool. My collection runs from the 1960s-1990. But I do like the wendigo but he just happened to be in the hulk and X-Men books and it sort of pertained to this conversation. If you want to check out a creepy weird wendigo movie watch Ravenous.
