| 2361 | Article | Vaporman87 | My introduction to Japanimation was probably Voltron. Aside from that, RoboTech, Akira, and Pokemon. | Jul 08, 2015 |  | |
| 2365 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. That's a lot to digest. Clearly MTV had a major impact on you in the 90's. My interest in MTV waned beginning in the late 80's. In the mid-80's, it was the "cool" thing to do to watch MTV and Friday Night Videos, catching the latest video representations of your favorite music whenever time allowed (and someone else wasn't watching the big screen). I can recall pretty clearly sitting with my buddy Phil on one of those crazy looking curved chaise chairs, powering on the big screen TV (the kind that lifted out of the cabinet like some kind of alien fortress), and watching music television. But by the 90's, MTV had run it's course with me. Later, when MTV introduced Beavis and Butthead, Aeon Flux, Singled Out, and other entertaining programs, I started tuning back in. I also found myself fascinated by the first season of The Real World, like you (I HATED Puck!!!). Then, once again, I began losing interest. Since then, I have all but forgotten MTV. You would have to pay me a significant amount of money to watch it at this point. And when they started introducing other channels (MTV2???) just to air videos, I knew this thing had jumped the shark, at least in my opinion. But it will always hold a particularly special place in my memory jar, for those nights long gone, sitting with a friend and enjoying our favorite music set to video. | MTV: The 90's | Jul 08, 2015 | |
| 2375 | Article | Vaporman87 | Ahhh... the USS Flagg. No kid I ever knew DIDN'T want that behemoth sitting in their room. I am certain I listed that one a few times on Christmas, but never got it. That and Metroplex (from Transformers). I did own a Lazer Tag set, and let me ease your conscience by saying it did not live up to the hype. The sensor/gun combo was not very accurate or effective. There would be times when you KNEW you aimed perfectly, but a hit would not register. Of course this was early on in the technology of "laser tag" gaming, so that's to be expected. I should also mention that in the Goldbergs episode where Adam gives up all his toys, his prized possession is, of course, the USS Flagg. Lucky Adam. Great read Mickey! All good stuff. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 10, 2015 | |
| 2378 | Article | Vaporman87 | @echidna: LOL. I used to believe that one day I would create a robot companion... out of cardboard. Also, I was pretty certain I could fly for just a split second whenever I jumped off the couch. | Yesterdays: Things I DIDN'T Have As A Kid | Jul 10, 2015 | |
| 2384 | Article | Vaporman87 | Hopefully my kids feel the same way about my wife and I when they discover the truth. LOL | 1990 - The Year Santa Died | Jul 12, 2015 | |
| 2389 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeah, basically the whole card collecting/manufacturing craze imploded around the time the final movie in the franchise came around, and that is pretty evident here. I actually prefer the simple, plain style of the original series of cards. Reminds me of my days collecting Topps baseball cards. Once Fleer, Donruss, and Skybox got big in the game, things got way too complicated, flashy, and collector oriented. It wasn't about kids picking up cards and enjoying them, it was more about adults who wanted them simply for the value in a Beckett. That bubble burst around the same time that comic book values plummeted. Great retrospective on the Batman series and cards in general Hoju! | Batman Trading Cards of the 80's and 90's | Jul 13, 2015 | |
| 2390 | Article | Vaporman87 | LOL. There is certainly a fair amount of "retro" to be found in this photo. I can clearly see the beads and baseball card in your spokes. And the Micro Machines collection behind you is sweet! Add the painted paneling and yellowish oak dresser and you have a quintessential 80's backdrop. Love the attitude in this photo, as well as the style of dress. It's perfect. | Retro-graphic Evidence: Video Games are Cool! | Jul 13, 2015 | |
| 2392 | Article | Vaporman87 | I knew onipar would love this one. You need to check out vkimo's entry from that year as well. | NLogan's Retro Halloween Overload | Jul 14, 2015 | |
| 2393 | Video | Vaporman87 | What tha...???!!! Why didn't I know (or remember) about this? This is HILARIOUSLY bad! I love it. | Tag Team Pilot Episode 1991 | Jul 14, 2015 | |
| 2397 | Article | Vaporman87 | @echidna: Yeah, cuz if there's anything kids loved more than comics, it was eating junk food! It's crazy to think how fast the comic book boom of the 90's came and went. It was a bubble that was looking to burst from the get go. Still, it brought about some great new talent and some awesome new heroes and villians, as well as some legendary stories. Wizard was at the heart of it all... a relic from a market we likely won't see again. Digital media has made that a certainty. | 1993 Comic Book Ads from Wizard Magazine | Jul 14, 2015 | |
