For Christmas, I have done a let's play of Home Alone for the Sega Genesis.
-
I got this game as a gift! Thanks for showing me how to play.

My brother and I always got a kick out of the Home Alone video game for the Sega Genesis back when we were in high school.
-
Oh boy. I just bought my first DVD copy of the original Miracle on 34th Street (I only have the remake on DVD, though I have seen and prefer the original), and I get back to my college dorm and put it in my computer to discover that it's been colorized (very badly too). Good thing I know how to fan edit films, so I can just turn the color off with Windows Movie Maker.
-
I agree with you...colorization can be very creepy.

That moment where I'm trying to figure out some way at all (though I doubt there is one) to play Blu Ray on PC without having to buy external hardware, because I could only find Adventures in Babysitting on BluRay, and I do not have a BluRay player at college. Oh well. Guess I'll just have to wait till I get home.

After years of putting up with it, I have decided to debunk the "Hanging Munchkin" urban legend once and for all.
-
I was searching the five-dollar DVD bin at Walmart, and found Back to the Future. I said to myself, "What the heck? This movie is worth more than that!" But of course I didn't pass up the opportunity to buy it for that little.

Back at college, and I've already met some people who love Halo 2600. Also, my Sonic 3 Let's Play should finish uploading in a day or two.
-
Nice!

More hilarious stuff happening lately. I was screen-capturing a live stream so I could make a video about what I thought of it, and then awhile ago, I discovered that I accidentally live-streamed the capture. I deleted that as soon as I found out. I am going to take extra caution next time I record something.

I'm watching "Grinch Night," the underrated Halloween prequel to the Christmas classic. When I was a kid, I actually saw this before the Christmas one, and I grew up thinking this was the original.
-
Return to Haunted House is my favorite 2600 Halloween game, because it uses the same game engine as Adventure, one of my all time favorite games.
-
Man, Sonic and Knuckles is a difficult game! I eventually turned on Debug Mode, because it was getting too tricky. I wish I could get better at it somehow.
-
I set up my Sega Genesis Classic Console for one of my younger brothers to play Sonic 2, and he is a blast at it (and he's use to playing on PC with a keyboard). I will say that the off key sounds are grating though.
-
Holy cow! "The Secret Garden" is on Netflix! Well, I know what I'm watching tonight now.
-
wow. Awesome movie. Haven't seen that one in ages.

That moment when you're binge-watching the first two seasons of "Thomas the Tank Engine," and you realize you're watching a show aimed at you children. And yet, I still can't stop watching it, 'cause it's so good. At least the first two seasons.

Haha. I remember that Thomas theme song. I was actually lucky (being born in 1997) to actually have some VHS tapes of episodes from the first two seasons (which were from the eighties), as well as renting episodes from the first two seasons from the library. Although I saw the newer episodes on TV all the time as a kid, I don't remember the plots of them at all, because they just weren't as good. No one beats Ringo Starr as the narrator, and nothing beats the original theme song from...
-
...the first few seasons. And of course the combination of animatronics and stop-motion beats the modern CGI episodes any day (not that there's anything wrong with CGI of course).
-
Though of course this is all just my opinion, as I know a lot of people that enjoy every Thomas episode ever made, and I don't really see why they can't enjoy them, as the newer episodes aren't bad by any means.

Brutus & Bluto in Popeye: What's the Deal?
atarifan95 replied to nosweargamer's topic in Television & Movies
Oh, wow. Somehow, I never saw any of the "Brutus" episodes, so I didn't know any of this. In school, I remember a day when there were a couple of guys talking about Popeye, and how "the best episodes are the ones where he takes down Brutus." I said, "Who's Brutus?" And they said, "He's the big strong guy who is always trying to beat Popeye." My response was, "Actually,his name is Bluto, not Brutus." And that turned into quite an argument. I assumed, as usual, that I was correct and they were wrong (I was more educated in television than they were, so I just assumed they had a faulty memory). Now that I've seen this video I realize that we were both right the entire time, and now I feel stupid. I wish I could remember who those guys were so that I could apologize to them. -
Not related to games, but I thought that some of the Willy Wonka fans on here might want to see the commentary of the Gene Wilder film that my brother and I did recently. We couldn't actually show the entire movie because of copyrignt, so you have to play your own copy simultaneously, and the video provides clips every ten minutes or so to make sure you are synced up correctly.
-
Just a little warning; Although this is intended to be a positive review of the film, my brother and I do not regard this film as sacred, and therefore make quite a few jokes about some of the little things that we didn't like about it. So if you consider this to be an absolutely perfect film with no flaws whatsoever, this is not the video for you. There is also a bit of profanity (though nothing too bad). Most viewers should be okay. PG review.

I saw the new Spider-Man last night and it was fantastic! It even managed to fit in a homage to ASM issue #33. That was amazing.

I was streaming myself trying to play the ZX Spectrum Hobbit game earlier today. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=W96eru3eQgU
-
It went pretty well until I realized I was carrying too many items. Since stopping the stream I figured it out, only to return to the Hobbit hole to find out "the hall is too full for you to enter." I have no idea how to fix that problem, so I'm so close to putting the treasure in the chest and ending the game, and yet I can't. Really funny game.
-
The best part is Thorin randomly stopping to sing about gold every five minutes.
-
I like how you can actually kill Gollum in the game. There goes the plot of LOTR. Haha.

So, something funny happened yesterday. You see, I always wondered how it would feel purchasing an R-rated movie. I've been old enough to purchase them for a few years now, but I never have, and I always wondered if it would feel strange to a young guy purchasing a movie rated R. So, yesterday, me and a bunch of other people at my college went to Walmart, and I noticed the extended versions of all three Hobbit moves sitting on a shelf in the DVD section, each costing about twenty dollars....
-
... Now normally, the extended versions cost much much more, so I couldn't pass up this opportunity, and I purchased them. When I got back to my dorm, I remembered something I had completely forgotten about; the extended version of the third film is rated R. So, I ended up purchasing my first R-rated movie without even realizing it. I had a good laugh about it for the rest of the day.
-
My first rated R movie was Silent Scream (1979). I had no idea what I was watching lol

Would you collect Atari porn games from Mystique/Playaround!
atarifan95 replied to Retro Play's topic in Atari 2600
I remember when one of my younger brother downloaded some random ROMS, and I decided to look thought the folder to see what was there. I clicked some game I had never heard of called "Custer's Revenge." After a minute, I realized what I was looking at, and I shut it off. That was not a pleasant experience. You should have seen the look on my face. No, I won't be collecting games like this. I'm a Christian, and I think those kinds of games are disgusting. If I ever buy a box of games and find those games in it, they're going straight into the trash. -
I'm 20 years old today, and I'm still young at heart.

I remember reading somewhere that this homebrew was first announced on the Atariage message boards, and the person that posted about it claimed it was a beta cartridge that he found in his attic, so that he could release the homebrew as an April Fools joke. He was even uploading footage of it and everything.

I never had Laserdisc. I watched VHS tapes as a kid, and I think I actually still prefer than over DVDs. We had things happen to our VHS tapes all the time. The tape would tear, the VCR would eat it up, or we would step on the VHS and break it. But Dad would fix them. If the tape was wrinkled so badly in one area that it wouldn't play past that point, all Dad had to do was use scissors to cut the small portion out, tape the two ends back together with scotch tape, and the tape played fine again. There would be slight static when it got to that point, and about two seconds of film would be skipped over, but my brothers and I didn't care. If the VHS tape got stepped on, Dad would just put the tape into a different casing. We still have VHS tapes that are almost twenty years old, that have been repaired many times, and most of them still play just fine. DVD on the other hand? You get a single scratch on one, and it will probably never play again. And when you have little kids in the family, it's going to get a scratch on it. If we had Laserdisc growing up, they probably wouldn't have lasted very long. I knew about Laserdisc since at least the seventh grade, and I knew that it was a predecessor to DVD, but I didn't know what a Laserdisc looked like. Then, a couple years ago, we went to a pawn shop, and they had this big box of VHS tapes (we bought about thirty of them), and a stack of Laserdiscs (which we didn't buy). I noticed how big the boxes were for Laserdiscs, and I asked the guy at the counter, "We're Laserdiscs really this big?" He said they were, and he actually took one out of the box for my family to see, and then he hooked up a Laserdisc player to a TV that he had in the corner of the room, and played "The Mask" on it. That was pretty cool. Kind of an interesting historical piece of video hardware, but I can see why they didn't last very long. I can guarantee that we would have had a lot of those break had we used them way back then.
