I came here to gush about the crop of games released in 1994 and since the console games I came to talk about have been covered already I'll bring up the great PC releases from that year. Doom II, System Shock, Heretic, and King's Quest VII all got a lot of play. I would love to go play Doom II again for the first…

Oh shit. I never noticed the Nozz-A-La. That is awesome.

Oh, The Crow. How great thou art? My older cousin wouldn't let me read the comic a few years before the movie came out so by the time it was announced the material was already very much a giant blip on my cultural radar. And then, on the way back from my 8th grade trip to DC, seeing that Brandon Lee, son of the…

I like bats.

Awwww damn. This is sad news. I watched more Designing Women than one would expect a 10 year old to, largely for Taylor's performance as Anthony. RIP.

Reed Mullin, I believe it's time we start talking about your drinking. Your face is beginning to resemble a current day Briana Banks' and this is not good.

This is a much nicer way to say this than what I came here prepared to say. Excellent civility.

Reds for sure! I actually did not become familiar with Parliament cigs until college.

No argument with you there. I recognize my singular experience as just that, and I don't mourn death of the majors due to the proliferation of the internet at all. It opened up music to be more for the people, by the people. I just sit in an interesting position to have come of age coinciding with the breaking of the…

Hahaha. We called it the same thing.

I do get somewhat jealous of the ease at which kids can discover (and obtain) their music these days but I honestly don't know that I would trade my experience in for theirs. I would pour over Rockabilia catalogs looking for bands whose names and logos I liked and then hope they had a video on Headbanger's Ball or 120…

The mountains of Virginia, but while not geographically close I would guess we occupy the same cultural zip code. Around this time I would sneak out of the house at night to drink Triple Sec or schnaps lifted from a friend's parents' liquor cabinet and smash up junk yard cars.

20 years. I still vividly remember buying this and Undertow from Potomac Mills on my 8th grade school trip to Metro DC. They ran upwards of 40 bucks for both and I don't think I had much money left afterwards to eat on for the remainder of the trip but I was from a small town with no place to buy music other than…

For a moment I was in utter panic that I was in my 40's and not 30's. Then I realized that 1998 is in no way the year that track dropped.

Good luck dumbass. Mine is mine alone.

HACK THE PLANET!

"Oh don't worry. It's not my blood."

Awwwww, Scowl-y Jim. Whatever will Hollywood do without you?

I like The Ninth Gate.

Alright full disclosure: I had 'JEDI' on my license plate for well over a decade so I'm in no position to drop nerd-bombs on anyone (or maybe I'm in the greatest of positions to do so O-o). I just liked to bust chops on people who swore that all the expanded universe content was just as canonical as movie content. …
