I'm only mildly weird. I'd be weird as fuck if I had that kind of dough to throw around.

Woah! Glad to see you @CZroe. I wish it were better circumstances. Best of luck to you and @ichinisan. Hope in turns around for you sooner than later.

I always liked the Atari games. Some of my favorites. In particular Jedi Arena paddle game. Star Wars Arcade 2600 Empire Strikes Back

I went 5, 5, 10 according to the descriptions. Joe and He Man are not something I particularly want to seek out for fear of tainting the impression in my memory. And like Turtles, much of my appreciation comes from experiences with the toys as a kid. With TMNT, I have watched some of the series as an adult and it held up pretty well and was enjoyable.

So sorry to hear this. Best wishes and condolences to you and your family. Rest in peace, Denise.

Tutu?

Definitely a stupid format. I would say they were looking for a "leader" with a format like that and probably went with the ball hog which is among the worst types of leader. To ace that one, you'd want to chime in early and then solicit ideas. "I'd do 'this' given the situation. Bob had some good ideas on that last scenario, how would you tackle that, Bob?" But yeah, tough to realize what their aiming for when you get thrown a curve ball at the start.

Having issues posting today. Mom should probably cut me off from the internet.

Well it does have Vanilla Ice. Also, it's a 90s remake of Rebel Without a Cause. I think if it had more serious actors and wasn't used as a showcase for Ice's rapping/dancing, it could've been an acclaimed film. Even so I think it holds its own. But don't get me wrong, it's perfect fodder for RiffTrax.

Always liked em but never picked up an album. Probably a little overexposure on the radio. 7

How dare you pit my crush on Cyndi Lauper against the Phils' soulful pop stylings of Easy Lover?! I refuse to vote.

Im bout a 50/50 shot on if I preorder or not. Got a lot going on this summer and I'm cutting back on my frivolous spending at the mo. Ah who am I kidding? I'll probably just throw it on the credit card.

Quantum Leap. Decent! 8

Pretty sure it's Dragon Warrior you's guys.

@Taiwan members. I am looking for a specific type of indigenous succulent plant. If anyone can get their hands on one I'd be happy to trade some worthless Famicom bootlegs or garbage N64 games. Thanks!

Yes, oem controller on AVS. I'd actually rate the control of the paintbrush as pretty tight. The arrow icon lets you control the direction of the brush and you kind of steer it as it draws rather than directly drawing with the pencil icon which limits you to the 8 way dpad directions. That's how I achieved perspective of the railing and avoided the 45 degree angle limitations. You can slow it down quite a bit for more minute detail. I also drew it with this color palette. It's fairly pastel but was actually the closest to the local color of the painting.

Hell naw. Videomation rulz.

9. It's really good but a little long for my attention sp

I can't really think of any either. I was pretty deliberate with what I rented. Fester's Quest or Who Framed Roger Rabbit were probably the bottom tier of stuff I rented and I would make sure to get my money's worth. How about favorite rentals that you never ended up buying? I'm sure i rented the Road Rash series for Genesis enough times to actually purchase a copy.

One word:

@CasualCart Primarily my love of Pink Floyd is a musical one. Their deep and heady space rock really speaks to me and they do these amazing funky breakdowns in the middle of many of my favorite tunes. Specifically check out the jam around the 7 minute mark here in Echoes. I love guitar and organ jams that were popular in the 60s/70s and this is my favorite one. Musically, I consider Meddle, Dark Side of the Moon, and Animals to be their best work and a trilogy of sorts, though Animals is more closely related to Wish You Were Here and The Wall. Starting with Wish You Were Here, the Floyd start to explore some darker themes of loss and detachment that become increasingly depressing and culminating with the tragic masterpiece that is The Wall and The Final Cut as a dénouement/epilogue of the series of albums. Wish You Were Here and Animals are highly enjoyable and I listen to them both with some frequency, however The Wall is a little too emotionally intense and I rarely listen to it unless the mood strikes. I also dig a lot of their early stuff too. Piper at the Gates of Dawn is a great mix of pop and psychedelic rock of the period. And like @Tabonga, I am big fan of Ummagumma, though I probably enjoy the studio side a little more. Critics (and the Floyd themselves) panned the album as being pretentious and self indulgent with no direction, which kind of makes sense given the particular history of the band. Here they are just after losing former lead singer/songwriter Syd Barret and yet performing some of his songs on the live side of the album. The studio side is made up entirely of individual solo projects of each band member. The tracks have a very experimental/psychedelic flavor to them but could certainly be viewed as self indulgent. But The Floyd have always held some pretense in my eyes, constantly experimenting with sound. It kind of comes with the territory of being an arthouse psychedelic space rock band from the 60s. Finally, to answer to the question of nostalgia, Pink Floyd does take on some pretty great nostalgia for me. I, like many, discovered them in high school and my first album was the recently released double live Pulse, given to me by my girlfriend at the time as a birthday present. I've replaced the batteries but it still blinks. It was all downhill after that.
