| 23014 | Unboxing the Christmas Goodie Pack | The only reason I contribute is because of a deal I made with the Noid in 96. I wanted to win a game of Duck, Duck, Goose! in my 3rd grade class. He granted me that wish with the only stipulation that I can keep my soul so long as I retell all of the strange and wonderful things I experienced in my youth. Little did he know I already promised my soul to Kid Vid for making a seagull poop on Joey Kowsloski and Stick Stickly for saving me from playing Yellow Submarine in band class. <br> | vkimo | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 23013 | Unboxing the Christmas Goodie Pack | I thought the box looked nice, but I didn't feel like setting up a p.o. box to have it delivered. | Ajimbo | Aug 14, 2015 | |

I've noticed even when posting on my Facebook page, if there's a picture attached, people will completely ignore the written portion. Strange indeed. <br>One of the reasons this site is a beacon in the dark waters of "retro nostalgia" is so often other sites/companies/people are simply feeding off of our cherished childhood memories. They say, "Oh, you remember Nintendo and would like to experience it again? Let's buy up as much of it as we can and sell it at a premium!"<br><br>It's the mass-marketed appropriation of our childhoods. <br><br>But here, there's none of that. As Vaporman said, "...<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; background-color: rgb(254, 253, 249);">you get to share your favorite memories AND get rewarded for it." That's incredibly rare these days. </span> | onipar | Aug 14, 2015 | |

| 23009 | Full House | If they could lose the goth look, they might look a little better.<br> | Mr Magic | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 23008 | Full House | i bet the original versions of themselves are in much better standing!<br> | PeZZ! | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 23006 | Full House | Gah, have they already had plastic surgery? Or does that look just come from too much drugs/tanning/undereating?<br> | shakin steak | Aug 14, 2015 | |
| 23005 | Full House | they probably are just newer incarnations of the versions of them selves that started the full house show!<br> | PeZZ! | Aug 14, 2015 | |
