| 4789 | Article | Ravenloft | Few took ninja mania as far as my twin brother and I. Shadow Warrior Ninja Brothers! I am still Storm Shadow to his Snake Eyes. He has betrayed our ninja secrets in his article to you. You have been marked for death. Always the athletic and agile kids we would scale telepole poles, run on wooden fences, climb up on roofs of multiple story buildings, leap treacherous gaps, climb over razor and barbed wire and other dangerous stunts that as an adult can only make me cringe at the possible injuries we could have had. Astonishing to think I never broke any bones (ahem, that were mine anyway.) The old style metal, concrete and wooden playgrounds were our ninja training camps like in the ninja movies and we learned the very real consequences of any fall. Far from the so called ninja tv shows that have safety foam pits and water to break your falls that are on today. We were doing Parkour a solid decade before it had a name or a popular following. He failed to mention that we spray painted the ropes on the home-made swords so they would be stiff and not come unraveled ever. I have never seen ninja children running around with real weapons the way we did as kids, maybe there were some and they had good training to remain unseen the way we did or maybe we were the last or only ninjas- a recurring ninja theme that is highly inaccurate; as the Hollywood pop culture version of the ninja is still going strong despite all of the imaginary and historically inaccurate elements. Ninja are so ubiquitous that they have become an archtype for play or Halloween costumes joining such other archtypes as the astronaut, cowboy, soldier, knight, superhero or finally the ninja. | Jan 13, 2019 |  | |
| 4788 | Article | OldSchool80s | Good stuff as usual, but how about some of the movies from 1989? Batman, Indiana Jones | Top 10 Pop Culture Touchstones of 1989 | Jan 12, 2019 | |
| 4787 | Article | Benjanime | i've heard mixed opinions over the retron 5, but i'm still getting one regardless. | A Review of the Hyperkin RetroN 3 | Jan 10, 2019 | |
| 4786 | Article | CaseyJones | I think it's time to let it out of the bag. Marioluigi was not one person. It was a group of people | Remembering RetroJunk | Jan 10, 2019 | |
| 4785 | Article | Dalek227 | I too think that deep down, despite how I was often just trying to blend in, a part of me WANTED to stand out a bit. A part of me craved a little positive attention and being a little "shocking" in a not physically harmful way made people laugh and maybe that's part of the reason. | Being An 80's and 90's Fat Kid Part 3 | Jan 09, 2019 | |
| 4784 | Article | Dalek227 | LOL yes, I agree it sounds odd. It's hard to explain as we ALL knew they were just stupid little joke notes. Kind of like 10 year olds pretending to kill their friends playing War or Cops and Robbers. Back then you could joke around a bit like that and it not be such a big deal. These days it's harder to determine what's a joke. We were both actually fairly dorky (despite me having a crush on him and him being kind of popular) and the biggest goody two shoes you'd ever meet so that is why it was so funny to people. I guess we could get away with messing around like that BECAUSE people knew we would never do that. I guess it's complicated. I'd consider my sense of humor morbid even today. I'd still never hurt anyone or wish death on anyone. As much as Mandy was terrible to me i'd never wish death upon her. I like to watch the ID channel and read crime novels and there might be some morbidity to that, but I assure you i'm not someone that would participate in such things LOL and by looking at me I don't ooze creepy I swear. | Being An 80's and 90's Fat Kid Part 3 | Jan 09, 2019 | |
| 4783 | Article | Vaporman87 | Pumps, Doritos, Dan Quayle... they all scream 1989. Well done sir. This could just have easily been fodder for Dr Timewarp. I love that you had to work in Let's Go Back somehow. LOL. Nice. | Top 10 Pop Culture Touchstones of 1989 | Jan 08, 2019 | |
| 4782 | Article | Benjanime | eh, i guess i'm just saying that she wouldn't be my type lol. | Being An 80's and 90's Fat Kid Part 3 | Jan 08, 2019 | |
| 4781 | Article | Vaporman87 | @Ben: Well, let's see... "During the winter of that year, I started to get a bit of a reputation for being kind of morbid." I think she kind of made that pretty clear, don't you think? | Being An 80's and 90's Fat Kid Part 3 | Jan 08, 2019 | |
| 4780 | Article | Benjanime | writing notes to others can be fun, but death threats? don't you think that's a bit morbid looking back? | Being An 80's and 90's Fat Kid Part 3 | Jan 08, 2019 | |
