Found the old Toys R Us I worked at from 99-04 in MS Flight Sim. 1 - can’t believe the logo is so clearly visible! But it obvi hasn’t been a TRU for about 10 years 2 - the silent hill low poly aesthetic is really selling the lich state of this building IRL lol

I am risen

Death Stranding 2 plat took about four months, lots of Rivals throughout the year.

MK remains my favorite video game movie to date. Knowingly cheesy when it wants to be with solid choreography, amazing sets, great cast, and formative 90s soundtrack. It’s not perfect but it is FUN No small part of its excellence is thanks to Cary’s intensity. RIP!

We’re up against Razgriz itself out there

Finished Clair Obscur, what a game. Third act is something else, resolution of the story truly thought provoking, complicated, memorable. It’s in the same league as FFX for me, battle system maybe even more so

Haven’t bought LINE stickers in 6-7 years, but this new Chip & Dale set was too good to pass up

The Oddity will return in: Avengers Doomsday

Really love that, despite how old it is and how seemingly absent it is from the modern world, Weekend At Bernie’s remains the most popular (only?) reference for propping up a dead thing/idea/concept and just hoping no one notices. Profound cultural impact

The Straight Story, heartwarming David Lynch tribute to the Midwest

My first GameFAQs login was December 96, became a daily stop and default homepage for at least 20 years 🫡

80s movies, comics, toys really leaned into gross-out monsters / creatures, to the point where this shows up in your mailbox and barely registers. We’re out here watching Predator and Robocop and The Gate, our toys are covered in slime

Aliens in ‘86 at a drive in. Maybe Ghostbusters if that counts?

Heckuva day 30 years ago on 9/9/95: -Saw Mortal Kombat for the 4th time, still one of the greats, formative soundtrack -Original PlayStation launch day, traded in $400 of stuff -all with receipts because I was a weirdo- and Babbages had to give me the console and two games for free

You’ll have to speak up I’m listening to the Snowboard Kids soundtrack

Thinking about my old work desk, and how little space I actually had for … a keyboard. Gave away most of these figures since then 😭

Vague memories of Wrath of Khan and “the one with the whales” on TV, then around 89-90 started catching alternating TOS/TNG reruns. Seeing S2 stuff like Where Silence Has Lease and Q Who made me want to watch every day. By 92 I was watching new eps live and gorging on multiple reruns a day

(The correct response was “What is Tropical Hazard”)

Alpha 3 players about to clean up in final jeopardy

Put all my tax dollars towards Vine coming back as a public health utility

Omg I remember watching this in like 2001 on stuttery dialup internet, ancient memory unlocked. It was definitely on IGN at one point

Finally saw Bloc Party live and one, great live show, and two it really cemented Silent Alarm as my favorite drums album. Insane energy, so many amazing fills, just hnnng what a listen

Celebrating Friday the 13th with the best moment of the series - part VII when they detonate an entire house and send it into orbit

Once upon a time, this was the core purpose of the internet

Against all odds, this was one of my favorite games of the early ‘90s

A little lttp but Thunderbolts was good! Easy to root for / dislike the right characters, tone and energy felt like phase 1 or 2. It’s getting harder to think of characters “they’d never get around to” for a movie, but Sentry/Void was one I thought they’d never bother with, and it was a fun version

Dodgers broadcast was discussing the science behind the perception of time between children and adults. After hearing the explanation, the color commentator pauses and asks, "Am I gonna feel any better?" Andy Pages then smashes a dinger into space, thus ending the existential crisis on commentary.

Just bought an X-Men trade and was asked “who’s Onslaught?” and RIP everyone at this table as I start with fatal attractions and meticulously explain from there

One of my all-time favorite Weather Channel tracks is on Spotify, turn off whatever you’re doing right now and turn this on open.spotify.com/track/4TjTb0...

First time hooking the GameCube up to my college CRT, wonder what year it thinks it is right now

One of the best women’s matches I’ve seen in a while!

I do think exposure to this setup would cure a lot of things though

Shoutout to the Camaro that pulled out of the Taco Bell lot and directly into the adjacent McDonald’s lot

Hard to tell from this distance, but I believe they’re about to declare a new Papa John

Made a 10-movie critical path for Godzilla movies. There’s obvi some wiggle room but this is imo the main route to get the gist of 70 years of movies boxd.it/DRjzC/detail

Once again, I missed celebrating a 10th anniversary by one day. On April fools day 2015, I appeared on the VGMpire podcast to discuss the amazing music of Suikoden with @brelston.bsky.social and @butterwomp.bsky.social. It's more timely now than it was a decade ago! www.vgmpire.com/2015/04/01/v...

RIP Val, omnipresent A-lister for much of my childhood and teenage years. GIFs you can hear

Forever he will be my hero And now that I’m not just a dreamer…

This led to what I hope is someday my Jeopardy contestant fun fact: “I got hit in the head with a beer can on a beer bus to wrestlemania”

I’ve jokingly called him Sir Walton Goggins for so long that it feels weird to see his name unadorned with that title

It’s a MonHun x WWE combo weekend

*sound of someone dropping their phone on the floor during a flight*

Getting Paul Heyman on the show was a personal joy

First time watching G vs Megaguirus and I gotta say, that was a lot of fun. The Showa style silliness was welcome

Finished my Heisei rewatch, stand by this: Return of Godzilla Biollante Mothra Destoroyah Ghidorah SpaceGodzilla

Big Voldo vibes from Charlotte’s gear

Shoutout to the US/JPY exchange rate for convincing me to buy a giant FFVI desk mat (it’s a mouse pad)
