And the other movie that scared the hell out of me was Superman III when Vera got sucked into the machine at the end and turned into an android.
It wasn’t a movie per se. I thought it was when I was a kid, though. It’s an episode of “Friday the 13th: The Series” called “The Executioner”.
I was like maybe 6 or 7 at the time.
It starts with this guy in prison you see them take him to the electric chair and attempt to execute him. They botch it and the warden or whoever pretty much goes “oops, well by law we did technically carry out your sentence so you’re a free man now”
He then goes on to become a dentist and uses a “cursed electric chair” as his dentist chair to take revenge on the world.
This gave me a real fear of going to the dentist on top of just being a kid and being scared to go. Still hate going to the dentist (who doesn’t I guess)
I used to play Myst at the time and that even made me feel uncomfortable in the Time Machine room with the dentist chair at the first island.
edit: I watched it again as an adult and it was corny as hell
I don’t think I could ever be done with video games but I’m done supporting the (current) video game economy besides supporting the second hand market. Luckily for me I don’t care at all about cutting edge stuff and I prefer to play PSX, PS2, and N64 games. There are still so many classics from those consoles in my backlog I haven’t even got to yet.
“Let’s not”
Maybe I’ll give BSD another go
I never understood why my dad was always so cheap until now.
You “used” to pay this much for something and now it skyrocketed, so you can’t live with yourself paying that higher price when it has been much cheaper for so long. Maybe he thought prices were going to come down again.
I don’t think the prices of RAM are ever going to come down. At least as long as people keep paying, which they do.
I used to play software Quake 1 on a POS Cyrix (remember them?) PR133 x86 clone. 30fps + 200-250ms ping. 30fps felt fine bit the lag was miserable until QW came out.
I wouldn’t put Breaking Bad over The Wire.
You mean “way past the E”
They use old tubes though. No manufacturing plant is tooled anymore to create new tubes and that’s why they probably won’t make new ones unless a super rich retro gamer funds the endeavor or something. The TVs would have to be expensive as fuck to cost justify that for niche retro gaming.
