1775	Article	vkimo	This article needs to be brought to the world's attention!		Jan 09, 2015
3667	Article	Trigonis	This article raises an important topic: "...at what point does profit trump our nostalgia?" I don't know the answer either, but I think there are two sides here: The ones wearing the 1985 goggles (to borrow the author's terms) who are so sucked into the nostalgia of their youth that they are petrified with fear of change to set that aside and see the new M.A.S.K. for what it is. A good story (but that REVOLUTION storyline with the Joes and Transformers, that was utter trash, sorry to say –– best thing about it was M.A.S.K.) –– that aims to "neutralize" past aspects of the original and beloved '85 series, namely the premise of transforming vehicles with superpowered masks, which I think is sufficient for the nostalgia factor, with a more innovative and sharper edge that's much more relevant for today's audiences. I highly doubt IDW, Brandon, Tony, and Tommy are swimming Scrooge McDuck-style in gold coins with this series, so I don't think it's a question of profit trumping nostalgia, it's about us trumping our own nostalgia and enjoying a good story. And this is coming from someone who also has fond memories of sitting around with my M.A.S.K. toys as a kid at Christmas. But that was in 1985. The only reason I'm enjoying the new M.A.S.K. is because IDW and the creators are not trying to smack me with nostalgia in anything except the covers; instead, they've given us something completely new, and I for one appreciate them not messing with my childhood too much.

3852	Article	jkatz	This article reminded me that I had a Nickelodeon version of 3D movie maker as a kid! I must've put in hundreds of hours into that game.	1990s Edutainment	Apr 23, 2017
3669	Article	Superman	This article reminds me of the time my aunt gave me a sweater for Christmas and gave my cousin an X-Men X-Jet. I couldn't help but be a bit disappointed...	Christmas 64	Jan 05, 2017
4553	Article	Superman	This article reminds me so much of the fun my cousin and I used to have when he used to come over on the weekend or (even better) the times he spent the whole summer over at my house. They were fun times I'd love to relive. I'm glad the two of you managed to enjoy reliving a bit of your childhoods for a night.	Rad Retro Weekend Part 1	Sep 16, 2018

2516	Article	echidna64	This brings back a "web" of nostalgia. I miss Todd McFarlane's gritty take on the Spider-Man comics. Not gonna lie, I spun up a new trilogy in my mind once I heard that there would be another reboot of the film franchise. Regrettably, it might be a long time before see an older and more tortured Peter Parker ala Maximum Carnage.	Spider-Man & Venom Action Figure Retrospective Part 2	Aug 13, 2015
