| 1282 | Article | Vaporman87 | Uhg. Jolt! Terrible stuff. Still, I have a feeling those of us who remember it would by a 12 pack of it just for the heck of it. Now Ecto-Cooler on the other hand, I could see it having staying power IF they kept the Slimer/Ecto-Cooler branding. People having been clamoring for it for years (None moreso than Matt at DinoDrac - I think he might actually cry if they ever brought it back). Crystal Pepsi was cool, but like you said... it was basically Pepsi with no color. Nothing to write home about, but a neat gimmick for it's time. I am reminded of SNL's parody of the Crystal Pepsi schtick when they did the commercial for "Clear Gravy". LOL. Something about that was so gross... and just wrong. | Sep 19, 2014 |  | |
| 1285 | Article | Vaporman87 | Indubitably. I see scenes from things like Saw and think UGH!!! It's all about trying to make it seem as real and awful as possible. Looking back on the slasher films of the past, there was the effort to make it look real, but it was still like trying to believe that that guy in the Godzilla suit really was smashing buildings. There was no way your mind could be tricked into disgust because the it was all still fake looking. Nowadays, it looks so real, and my mind can handle it. Not to mention, as Hoju did, that there is just no "fun" in it. No humor. Just sheer disgust and vileness. Halloween should be about fun first, frights second. | What to Watch on Halloween | Sep 20, 2014 | |
| 1291 | Article | Vaporman87 | Woah NLogan! I didn't know videos/images could be posted in comments! How??? EDIT: Oh I see. Just standard iframe tags. You would think one of us would have tried that before now. LOL Also, I agree with the Sleepy Hollow selection. And a scene frome the short with Huey, Duey, and Louie is a part of the Halloween Special. Great minds think alike. | What to Watch on Halloween | Sep 20, 2014 | |
| 1303 | Article | Vaporman87 | Wow. Just... wow. I LOVE this story. This is something special. I can't even come close to providing a similar moment in my own life, at least not as far as sharing a moment with a superstar. KIDS, Incorporated was a show that I caught on an on-and-off basis. There would be times that I would be flipping through channels and catch the show, watch it to it's conclusion, and mostly forget about it. I was not one of those kids who ever thought I would be anybody famous or working with anybody famous. Only my dad can say that in my family. He spent some time at a dinner with Ric Flair once, and once met Johnny Bench I believe. I... didn't LOL. I suppose if I were to pick an accomplishment in life that might have produced a similar feeling, it would be the work I did for the Masters of the Universe comic book. To actually be able to contribute even the smallest, goofiest thing for a property I grew up loving so much, was really special... even if Mattel said I had to go after 3 issues. LOL. I think those weeks/months I did that work, I felt like I was doing something pretty cool that transcended my otherwise quiet and unassuming life. Wonderful story Hoju. | KIDS, Incorporated: Dreams Come True | Sep 23, 2014 | |
| 1314 | Article | Vaporman87 | @NLogan - Yeah, I spent a few years at the He-Man.org website contributing mostly in the Fan Art Forum. Then one day the site Admin, Val Staples, asked me if I wanted to put the silly He-Man comic strip I and Devin "Goatman" Duchscherer had been posting into the newest iteration of the comic (which was, at the time, The Rise of The Snakemen series). Naturally I went totally bonkers and was like "YES YES YES YES YES!" We did four strips, with three of them getting published before Mattel told Val that the strip had to go because they didn't like how their characters were being treated in the strips (as buffoonish, egotistical, lazy, confrontational, etc.). It was fun while it lasted. | KIDS, Incorporated: Dreams Come True | Sep 23, 2014 | |
| 1320 | Article | Vaporman87 | Man. Just look at that section of Masters of the Universe stuff. If only I could ACTUALLY go back in time and just buy every bit of it. So much coolness. So much money. :) This was a fun adventure Hoj... I mean, Dr. Timewarp. Thank you for taking us on it. Now if I can just figure out where that Man-E-Faces costume is these days, and have the person who owns it sell it to me. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1324 | Article | Vaporman87 | It's okay. We like weird as long as it's a cool weird. | Timewarp: Toys R Us 1987 | Sep 24, 2014 | |
| 1337 | Article | Vaporman87 | Yeesh. I wouldn't want to be anywhere near the nude haunted house. That just sounds like a whole lotta trouble waiting to happen. I WOULD love to see Knott's Scary Farm one year. Seems like such a cool place to visit for the season. | A Haunting Experience | Sep 26, 2014 | |
| 1346 | Article | Vaporman87 | In answer to that question, it could be worse. Stinkor. Great article! I myself enjoyed the Slime Pit, but aside from that I played very little with slime related toys. I think the down sides that you described here were all it took to make me NOT a slime fan. Silly Putty on the other hand... | Slime Time! | Sep 30, 2014 | |
| 1348 | Article | Vaporman87 | @pikachulover: Somehow I am seeing that mixture of water and Playdoh as coming out looking like the dinner served in Better Off Dead... <iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/heP3s725hSA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> | Slime Time! | Sep 30, 2014 | |
