April 21, 1991

I talk about what to expect with Lifeforce, briefly mention the Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy text adventure, list off some movies I’d seen recently, Laserdiscs I want, and show off several of my Home Video magazines – which, incidentally, is where I got most of my video related info back then in those bygone days before the Internet…

    its neat to see that you have always been a video podcaster of sorts .. ever hear of mike wills (sp?) he did a show for negativeland but he was also an obsesive recorder he whole life

    Lol!! No, he’s one of my oldest friends. We were living in different parts of the country, so rather than just writing letters we decided to do video letters to keep in touch.

    Don’t know why that would be, my current cameras are about double the resolution of the old ones used for these. Are you watching the HD versions?

    I think the video quality looks better on these old tapes then the new ones you do.

  7. IAmThePumaMan says:

    I Think …
    I Think IRCLegendJammer is referring to the chunky 80′s style aviator eyeglasses. They’re sometimes referred to as “rapist glasses” in a very tongue in cheek kind of way. But don’t let it get you down, some people are just so insecure about themselves (and the way they used to look) that they have to insult others.

  8. Zaranyzerak says:

    Maybe I do. Maybe …
    Maybe I do. Maybe I am. What, exactly, does a serial killer look like?

    You look like a serial killer.

    I actually have no idea what the one in Thornhill Square was called, even though I know we used to go there pretty much every day after school! A few big games I remember us playing there all the time: Gauntlet, Battlezone, Star Wars, Elevator Action, Xenophobe, and of course DRAGON’S LAIR! :D

    While watching this …
    While watching this episode I came to recall a really odd gadget that my father gave me a while back. It’s an old camera from prior to the era of digital cameras and videocameras (I assume) called the ION Still Videocamera! :D It takes still photos and saves them on custom mini floppydiscs. You can then hook up the camera to a TV and watch your photos. That’s all it does! There’s now developing or getting your photos into an album. It’s just THAT – No moving video, just stills! :D

    I STILL think that would be pointless

    It’s like put a HUGE disclaimer @ the beginning of each video to completely explain what they were for.

  25. Zaranyzerak says:

    Yeah, it’s almost to the point where I’m going to have to do a “for those of you who are completely baffled by the who, what, how and why of MMC Retro…” video or something.
