Keep talking. All I hear are the last dying gasps of a generation of obnoxious gamers.

There's a changing of the guard coming, just as there was when the Atari era gave way to the Nintendo age, and when Nintendo and Sega took a backseat to Sony. The age of the obnoxious dudebro gamer is coming to an end, and after that whole Zoe Quinn mess I couldn't be happier to see it go.

You play Dishonored? It's supposed to be the "true" successor to Thief, and it was free to Xbox 360 owners with a Gold live subscription. I personally don't care for stealth action titles, but there's a lot of variety in this one, plus you can successfully fight your way out of most situations.

I was compelled to finish many a crappy NES game as a teen, but for some reason Phantom Fighter (a video game adaptation of the Mr. Vampire films) really sank its claws into me. It started a lifelong fascination with the monsters the game called Kyonshies, even though the game was slow and numbingly repetitive.

Reminds me of a Yakov Smirnoff joke on Night Court:

Yeah, it really is a shame about that ice cream place. Every time I hear the name I keep imagining the other gargoyles rolling a scoop of vanilla bean on his back. "Damn it, there's a Gummy Bear lodged in my shoulder!"

I liked him better in the ad for that 2600 game Mega Force.

The adventures of Nick, a teen!

"This episode of The Simpsons happened five years before the nuclear bomb. Thank you."

Futurama did it, Futurama did it!

Yeah, I'm supposed to take advice from a guy who covers himself with explosives and tries to kill Batman on a regular basis. It's not even the real Batman, but that futuristic one!

But it's not nice to leave your garbage on your neighbor's lawn…

KISS is so schlocky, I can't believe the band still has a following. I remember a friend telling me he had a brief fascination with KISS as a child. I asked him when he outgrew that phase; he told me it was about the same time he finished toilet training.

I could do with a lot less of Wil Wheaton, who's making his Star Trek: Next Generation alter ego look preferable by comparison. Remember when he used to do his best Seanbaby impression on the AV Club when the site debuted ten years ago? Those weren't good times.

Marge: "Lisa, I've encouraged you to stand up for your beliefs, but you're taking it a little far."
Bart: "Like when you made us march at the gay parade!"
(holds up newspaper with picture of Bart under title "Local gays show their pride")

I think the worst showrunner for The Simpsons was that jerk who did the voice of Gex… Dana Gould, I think. Every time I watched one of his episodes I wanted to fire up my 3DO just to march the schmuck off a cliff.

I could have sworn the original line was "Holy mother of crap!"

I liked that Lisa was able to depress even the plucky Lady Gaga into submission. Everything else kind of sucked.

And the crab wags its tail! Even living fossils need love too…

I can't say I've made any friends here- just friendly acquaintances- but I will say that my life would be lessened without this site. It's a great place to reminisce about nineties pop culture.
