| 3054 | Article | Vaporman87 | What an epic rundown! I can SOOOO relate to your thoughts here, as I too was finding myself "back into" wrestling around this time, and it was mostly a result of the AKI games. To this day, I still don't believe there is any better gameplay system for wrestling games than that achieved by AKI. The grapple system was just superior, and easy to use. Maybe the graphics were a bit less realistic, but each wrestler had that "He-Man" feel, where each was molded from the same basic body (though height and weight were still represented), and that gave the game a cohesive look. once No Mercy came out, they had really pushed it to the limit and made the fun of playing a very long lasting experience. I loved creating my own wrestler, intro, and move set, and then taking that character from zero to hero. But it was also fun to just use them in crazy match types and watch the chaos ensue. I know for a fact that when you got four people together in the room playing each other, crazy things would happen that would make you laugh so hard your sides hurt. So much fun. We actually owned a device for the N64 that allowed us to play Japanese releases, and one of those releases was Virtual Pro Wrestling 64 (the Japanese counterpart of WCW/nWo World Tour). There were subtle differences in some of the characters, moves, and such, but the biggest difference was the roster selection. It included American and Japanese wrestling legends, and that made it very cool. You could also change and customize wrestlers' attire, which you could not do until later releases in America. <img src="/images/postImages/1446222908Virtual Pro Wrestling 64.png"> | Oct 30, 2015 |  | |
| 3052 | Article | Vaporman87 | What a great list! The Beach Boys are one of those bands that transcends time and changing sounds. They're one of the greatest bands of all time in my opinion. Anyone of any taste in music can find at least one song of theirs that they find appealing, and that's hard to accomplish. Thanks for this Poshy. | Top 10 Beach Boys Songs | Oct 30, 2015 | |
| 3051 | Article | Vaporman87 | That was the same guy?! I loved the MST3K Zombie Nightmare episode! Hilarious! And yeah, Tia Carrere in an early film appearance was kinda strange to see. And Adam West just pretty much "called it in" on that movie. | Heavy Metal-Sploitation Part 3 | Oct 30, 2015 | |
| 3049 | Article | comic_book_fan | well what really convinced me that they were aliens was that i had a dream like that then when i woke up i found my mom and my sister whispering to each other alot like they didn't want me to hear something so i assumed they were i found they weren't when i was listening in through the door and heard what they were talking about the neighbors playing there drums to loud at 1;00 am and people shinning there headlights through the window and how to handle it without being rude. | Childhood Fears | Oct 30, 2015 | |
| 3047 | Article | Hoju Koolander | It was crazy to realize that from the Nintendo page on down, I had at least one item featured on every page at some point in my youth. Now most of it came second hand from garage sales as opposed to Christmas morning, but I totally played with most everything featured. My favorite was definitely the WWF toys, owning that ring was a dream come true. I love that there was a generic carrying case for the Masters of the Universe figures, like Sears wouldn't splurge to carry the official one. | The OTHER Good Thing About October | Oct 29, 2015 | |
| 3046 | Article | Hoju Koolander | Speaking of Rifftrax, did you ever see John Mikl Thor's other direct to video outing "Zombie Nightmare" co-starring Adam West and Tia Carrere from Wayne's World? It was riffed by the Mystery Science Theater 3000 crew on an episode. He's a baseball playing "hero" who gets killed and then resurrected as a Zombie. Oh and "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead is the opening theme. It's pretty fantastic. | Heavy Metal-Sploitation Part 3 | Oct 29, 2015 | |
| 3045 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 Empty Haunted Bathroom? That's a pretty awesome fear right there. @echidna64 Of course as a kid you'd never think of the obvious solution: Take the trash out in daylight. @comic_book_fan What finally convinced you that your family weren't aliens? It's very possible they just used a mind control ray on you and are still plotting to take over the Earth. | Childhood Fears | Oct 29, 2015 | |
| 3044 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @Vaporman87 It really is an unforgettable film. I think a lot of us unknowingly saw a Tim Burton film before Beetlejuice and Batman. A little movie called Pee-Wee's Big Adventure ring a bell? @GoonieGirl Thanks for giving the podcast a shot. It's a lot of fun to put together and I'm glad you're enjoying it. | Beetlejuice Bonanza | Oct 29, 2015 | |
| 3043 | Article | GoonieGirl | As a childhood chicken, Beetlejuice was a little on the scary side for me. I do remember watching a few of the cartoon episodes, though. They were more funny than scary (which I appreciated) and the animation was fun. P.S. I have to say, your podcast is pretty hilarious. I highly recommend it :) | Beetlejuice Bonanza | Oct 29, 2015 | |
| 3042 | Article | GoonieGirl | I remember pouring over the doll houses and spending hours picking out mini furniture and accessories... Oh, unrequited childhood dreams! Not to make you too jealous, but I totally had that sweet rock tumbler. Unfortunately it turned out to be LOUD (tumbling rocks is loud. Imagine that.) so whenever I turned it on, no matter where in the house I "hid" it, someone always found it and turned it off. I'd have been better off with a nice quiet doll house. | The OTHER Good Thing About October | Oct 29, 2015 | |
