| 3367 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Just wow. Loved this one. True... we each have fond memories of time spent with things that we all knew of and had as children. And those things are special to us and we share similar feelings and memories with regard to them. And then there are those memories that, like you mentioned, are solely our own and unlike any that others may have had. And yet this feels familiar to me. I also spent time exploring nearby woods. Both at my childhood home, and the home I spent my teen years growing up in. Both had woods behind them, and both were just calling to be explored. The home of my childhood featured woods directly behind it that seemingly went on forever (to a kid). At one point, you could exit them and find yourself in a valley with the shadow of a water tower cast over a small junk pile. In the junk pile was a VW Bug surrounded by old appliances and trash. I recall finding an "adult" magazine there, and my friend who had traveled there with me taking quite the interest in it. I used to tell the other neighborhood kids that a little girl died in those woods, in a quicksand pit that I had yet to find. I have no idea why. If you exited another part of the woods, you did so through a large cement culvert under a main highway. At the other end of the culvert was a small body of water. It was very cool. The home I spent my teenage years in also had a nice wooded area behind it. My brother and I would explore it once in a while. And once, a friend and I went deep into the woods and discovered a rocky outcropping that lined a large hillside. In the outcropping was a cave, but not an enclosed one. One side of the cave was completely open, so that watching us traverse the cave from outside would look like watching ants travel through the dirt in an ant farm. It was really cool. My friend and I were jumping from one side of a small creek to another outside the cave, and when he landed on one side further down, his shoe sank into the mud, and when his foot popped back out, his shoe did not. All we could see was the hole for his foot in the shoe. The shoe itself was buried in the mud. Good times. | Feb 15, 2016 |  | |
| 3388 | Article | Vaporman87 | I always enjoy the articles in which you explore some set of memories. They are your best works. This one is no exception. It definitely puts me in mind of a perfect weekend. Great stuff, TDitH. | Memories of a Perfect Weekend | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3389 | Article | Vaporman87 | I too missed out on the Pokemon craze. I actually had a lot of difficulty understanding it's appeal for a while. I would see and hear about this craze, and just scratch my head. I just didn't see the appeal of it. The same went for Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. Both seemed really overblown to me. I would be lying if I said I now understand it. I don't. LOL. However, I think I have a better grasp of their appeal to those who did enjoy them, and still do. | 20 years of Pok'emon: Looking back to the franchise as an adult | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3390 | Article | Vaporman87 | That's quite a varied list of favorite library books, V. I didn't read anything but magazines and comics growing up. I hated reading. LOL. Though, when it came to our school library, they did have a few things that caught my interest. They have been mentioned in forum thread... a series of books on monsters and other cool subjects. The name of them escapes me at the moment. | The Library | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3391 | Article | Vaporman87 | Welcome to RD! This was an excellent read. It's always surprising when a great article comes out of nowhere from a new member. Thank you for sharing it with us. Blast to the Past sounds like an amazing store. I found myself wishing that such a place had been around in my youth. I would occasionally visit places in my youth that were somewhat similar, but none had a selection like that you've mentioned here. It just sounds like an amazing place. It's always hard to see those places we grew up loving change or shut down. Like a piece of our childhood just disappeared. But at least when you share those memories, the place lives on in a way. | Blast to the Past! | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3392 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man, China Town sounds like an amazing place. So vibrant, full of culture, and full of things that would have made a young Vaporman87 flip out. My question is... did you ever run across any Mogwai in your visits there? | China Town | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3393 | Article | Vaporman87 | I was trying to think of which of these athletes had the most affect on popular culture, and the easy answer is Michael Jordan. The only other "sports" figure that comes close would be Hulk Hogan. Using the term "sports" very loosely there. | The Non-Sports Fan's Guide to Iconic Athletes of the 90's | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3394 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's too bad that Masters of the Universe didn't get a sequel. But hopefully the rumors of a reboot will eventually come about, and we will get a proper MOTU film. On another note, that Vaporman87 clown sounds like a hillbilly nerd who thinks he knows it all. | Lost Sequels of the 80s | Feb 28, 2016 | |
| 3408 | Article | Vaporman87 | My brother and I owned an Atari Jaguar. I can tell you it was easily the worst of the consoles saturating the market at that time. There was the occasional decent game for it, but it just didn't stand a chance. You can't make developing for a console a difficult task. As you mentioned, that alone killed the Jaguar before it could even get off the ground. | Encountering The Jaguar | Feb 29, 2016 | |
| 3417 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Mickey: Didn't know you were a 70's baby Mick. Awesome. We 70's babies got to have the full 80's youth experience! | China Town | Mar 05, 2016 | |
