Yeah, no doubt. I totally forgot how dark it was; that is right on the money. It definitely had that same exciting kind of vaguely sinister vibe that some arcades in the late 80s. Dark lighting, dark surroundings, bright-ass neon.

Hah, well, I don’t really know how expensive it was now that I think about it... I should ask my Mom some time. I was under the impression it didn’t cost much, cuz we were pretty broke and she used to shuttle me and a 8-10 friends there every year.

I believe this one had one of those shoot the baskets coin-ops, a somewhat dated looking sit-down driving game, one other arcade game I don’t recall now, and that was literally it... If there was a prize counter, I didn’t see it. Otherwise it was just an egg-shell colored cafeteria with a couple of pictures of Chuck ,…

It’s not even recognizable as being something special anymore... The last remaining one near me is just a tiny pizza place in a strip mall with absolutely zero personality. It’s not even well branded. There’s a sign/graphic or two of Chuck on the walls, and that’s pretty much it. No costumes, no animatronics, no…

Hah, maybe so, but that’s not really what I mean... I currently have a 97 Z28 and a 2012 RS, and even if the V6 was slower across the board (it’s not), I still infinitely prefer driving it over the Z. The features, the handling, the comfort, it’s not even in the same league.

I just can’t imagine spending that much…

That’s all I could think as well... I love all Camaros and have had several fourth gens, but I can’t imagine dropping 14 grand on one now, regardless of what’s been done to it... 

You could get a fifth gen for near that price, which are just universally better cars in almost every way.

He went by “Bill” back then. I share your surprise though; I noticed it re-watching it about 15-20 years ago and ma mind was blown as I’d seen it dozens of times as a kid, was well aware of William nowadays, and still never made the connection till I saw his name in the credits.

He’s clearly a versatile actor!

Yep. The Camaro community is no better... Every time someone posts a story or photos of their RS, some wingnut always pipes up with, “Should have gotten an SS/ZL1” As if we don’t know those exist.

I could have gotten a bare-bones SS for a little more than my 45th Anniversary RS cost, but the features in my loaded model…

Oh, I’m with you there. I passionately love original Street Fighter 2 (TWW), and I play it constantly... In my MAME cabinet, or on my Nvidia Tablet, or on any of the multiple consoles I own that have newer ports of it...

The classic games I get the nostalgia for (Mario, Sonic, etc...) I’ll play those briefly in emulation on occasion to get the nostalgia kick, but you totally lose me at watered-down console arcade ports like SF...

Damian and how he fits in with the Teen Titans has become such a pivotal part of the DC AOMs at this point though... I know it’s more or less a separate universe, but it would feel very strange to me for him to never show up in YJ.

My Camaro has it as well (2012 Anniversary edition), and while it is awesome and I love it, it’s total horseshit that it’s not distracting; it’s freaking hugely distracting. And not even just the GPS, it also lists the name of the song I’m listening to, shows animated speedometer and rpms, etc.. It’s just a flurry of…

If it had said, “the best animation”, I’d be with you on that... Fleischer’s Superman run is some of the most gorgeous animation in history. But as an overall series or character... there’s no competition. S:TAS has much more flushed out, rounded characters, and is infinitely superior in every way apart from the…

The headlights for my Camaro (5th Gen HID Halo lights) range from anywhere between $200-$800 depending on the brand, color, quality, etc...

Yep, NY cops love to ticket for it too, even if you have the plate on the dashboard... I had to do the same thing last year on the Civic winter-beater I was driving on snow days.

Have a SF2 cabinet in my living room... After 20 years of playing it (semi-regularly), I can conclusively say, that fucker definitely “cheats”, especially when it comes to executing charged moves.

Even more egregious though are the seemingly impossible throw counters. For example, AI Zangief is capable of connecting a…

It’s mostly extended character development and a ton more dialogue... The lap-dance scene is longer, there’s some B&W footage injected in of Mike watching the girls before-hand, etc.. IIRC, it clocks in at like 25 mins longer than the GH version.

I have trouble remembering what has been added at this point, as it’s…

I just saw him on my way to work the other day. (The painted on rust/primer details were kinda impressive given this was just a car for sale on the side of the road.)

The sad thing was when I posted it to FB, most of my friends didn’t really know what it was. Even more mind-blowing was that my father did not seem to…

Pretty sure I knew long before I was 12 that I wasn’t attracted to other dudes, and I doubt my parents could have convinced me otherwise... 

I take it you were still on the fence about it at that age, which is cool, but you shouldn’t really assume that everyone else is still undecided by then.

Except when those groundbreaking fighting games released, there were no “modes” to be had. That wasn’t a thing then; now it is. Changing up the gameplay of a one-on-one fighting game doesn’t change the fact that bare-bones fighters without replayability (and frankly, SP content) are considered lacking now, as where in…
