Yep I remember novelizations of movies. What is incredibly fascinating about full length motion picture is that the ‘home’ aspect of it is incredibly young when one considers how long motion picture has existed.

I was trying to think of some potential precedence in anime and can immediately think of one. Yet I’ll admit it’s somewhat apples to oranges in comparison. When Dokyuusei came to the US back in the 1990s ADV Films - releasing the show under their SoftCel brand - changed Dokyuusei to End of Summer. I could assume the…

1) The wealthy and rich are the only ones that can afford these conversions. There may eventually be more viable conversion kits out there but they will probably be assuming that individuals are going to convert years on down the road (har har). You’re not going to see people going out en masse and converting their…

I think you might be looking at it slightly the wrong way in assuming that the Gs were supposed to be a “replacement” for the Maxima, and it’s more like they entered an untapped luxury market niche that wasn’t being fully exploited.

It’s similar where I live. If you’re in a remote portion of the state your internet provider costs are astronomical and are much higher than basic service in the larger cities. For an even further example of provider issues, it’s estimated that roughly a little under four percent of households here where I am still…

I’m probably in the minority here, but I absolutely loved the last generation’s styling. The soul, so to speak, of the entire Civic culture for the past near three decades has been modifications and personalization, and the last generation was a general Honda that finally embraced that ethos in OEM form. It looked…

Your initial point is my exact problem with this game; everyone keeps saying “it’s great on PC and current consoles” but the thing is this game was developed when PS4/XB1 were still the current consoles. You shouldn’t need a PS4Pro or a PS5 to run the game decently well. It should run fine on something like a base…

I can understand how nostalgia can affect people. Myself I just personally cannot understand the nostalgia for Pokemon as it isn’t my nostalgia.

I’m still kicking myself for not jumping on a ‘72 Carrera with 23K miles that had a $6,000 asking price. No stories, nothing. Just an old Porsche sitting on some Fuchs wrapped in old rubber that nobody wanted for $6,000. My insurance at the time would have been through the roof.

There’s people out there still salty that Pontiacs didn’t use “Pontiac engines” when Pontiac was on life support lying on it’s death bed. Death threats about a +15 year chassis dying doesn’t surprise me.

My immediate guess without digging into it more would be the oil embargo. ~1975 saw the advent of mostly small, economical vehicles emerge throughout Europe as people were becoming more cost concious of their fuel spending. Sports and muscle classes of vehicles saw production limits and scaling back immediately…

A Cobalt. I rented one right around when they came out, my grandmother was needing a new car to replace a 90s Lumina, and I suggested that she buy one. She purchased one and liked the car fine but was adamant that she get into something larger so she eventually traded for a Malibu. The only major issue I remember she…

Mine is still frequently used. Kids love the Wii regardless of it’s age, and it doesn’t get talked about enough but it’s a good way to play GameCube games if you have an earlier Wii that is backwards compatible. We have played Wii Sports way more than I’d like to admit. There’s been so many hours put into that game…

I remember coming across some Satellaview cartridges in Akihabara. I also saw some of the Nintendo Power (not the same as the magazine) carts. Nintendo Power kiosks was the off-line alternative to the Satellaview, in that you took blank Super Famicom carts to kiosks and could have games written on them. Similar to…

I don’t quite get how the officers are being cowards for chasing a suspect.

I still have my four switch Atari from the early 1980s. Games for that console were so plentiful at one point that most of my collection was literally just given to me. I’m sitting on over 150 titles and I’ve maybe actually paid for a dozen of them individually over the years. All I had to do was tell people I owned a…

I had a friend that owned one of these that was a former Red Bull vehicle. It had the graphics removed but the silver/blue scheme was left intact along with the truck being a functioning cooler. It was totaled in an accident, and it’s replacement was another X/90 but with a metallic purple color change hue that was…

It’s difficult to look back on F1 cars from 1998 onwards through the grooved tire era as the cars were limited by the aforementioned rules for those tires. As consequence designers of the time were trying to find any little bit of speed and downforce they could with the overall limitation of tires in mind and the…

Sections are resurfaced but not all of Monaco is re-paved every year.

No ultra rich person gives two shits about a balcony or a dance floor on an airplane. The second they land they’re in a personal chauffeured limo and off to whatever suite in whatever hotel they have reserved to do whatever ultra rich people unlike myself do.
