Back then Youtube still had a 10 minute time limit for most videos so the whole album/movie would be split up into multiple parts. Bizarrely, sometimes only one of the parts would be taken down for copyright violation so I'd be left with an incomplete movie or album.</span></font></li></ul></div>	jkatz	May 06, 2017
35485	Drawings and Stuff	<div>Lot of times I'll come up with concepts for superheroes, and they're almost always transparent ripoffs (I try to tell myself they're "homages"). Take for example, this 100% original creation:</div><img src="/images/postImages/1494044001IMG_5358.JPG"><div style="font-weight: normal;"> </div><div>Pretty sure I stole the name "NachtGeist" from somewhere, and I <b>definitely</b> spelled "Geist" wrong. </div><img src="http://retro-daze.org/images/smilies/MavLaughOutLoud.gif">	jkatz	May 06, 2017

35482	What things from the 2000s will people be nostalgic about one day?	i still remember episode II being the worst of the bunch since the romantic scene with luke and padme was so drawn out and boring and they showed more emotion than cardboard. but hey, yoda kicking arse at least took my interest.

35481	Virtual Console Thursdays	to be fair they did say the nes mini would be limited. but i'm way ahead of them with homebrewing my wii u. again i thought it was a missed opportunity that they didn't include nes zapper games, especially since it was said that the nes mini would be compatible with the wii remote. now the snes mini is gonna get released and they'll say the same thing about it being limited.

James Rolfe highlighted this in a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoJgY4EX-Xg">video</a> released a few months ago. Granted, no one is calling them the greatest movies of all time, but people are re-evaluating them differently compared to just how hated they were when they were first released.

35478	Virtual Console Thursdays	Week of May 5, 2017:<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><b>Wii U Virtual Console:</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Bonk's Revenge (TG16)</div><div>$5.99</div><div><img src="https://r.mprd.se/TurboGrafx-16/TG16-PCE/EXTRAS/Turbo%20Grafx%2016%20-%20Boxes/Bonk%27s%20Revenge%20(U).jpg"></div><div><br></div><div>This week's ACA Neo-Geo Switch release is Blazing Star. Released in 1998 for the NeoGeo arcade system, this one is somewhat of a sequel to Pulstar, but it's made into a game that's more than just an R-type clone. Blazing Star uses a nice blend of CG and anime cutscenes to go along with the game, which to me, adds to the appeal to the game. I think if there's any other NeoGeo game I'd want to get for the Switch, this one would be it. I already have Metal Slug 3 on the system, so I already know how the NeoGeo emulation is on the Switch.</div><div><br></div><div>On a bit of a sidenote, and I'm sure most of you are already aware of this, but Nintendo discontinued the NES Classic Edition. Yeah, kind of old news, and I don't remember if this was news during the last Virtual Console update. But either way, that's a really bad move to make, especially with how hard it is to get one. And if you think scalpers were already bad before, they're going to really double down on the price once the last batch has been sold out.</div><div><br></div><div>I imagine Nintendo discontinued the NES classic to focus on the Switch Virtual Console, because I imagine we'll see NES games on there too. But it was still really premature to kill off the NES Classic. A lot of people who were interested probably would not have gotten a Switch anyway, some of them just wanted it for the nostalgia factor. Well, at least there's rumors of an SNES Classic edition. Let's hope they don't pull the same crap they did with the NES Classic.</div>	blueluigi	May 06, 2017
