The holy grail of 80s toys, mostly because it's illegal now and the originals were very fragile:

I didn't get the original Megatron, but I received Shockwave instead (he transformed into a futuristic looking Laser gun. The gun made a really fun laser sound when you pulled the trigger):

This is a weird, poorly done poll.

^THIS.
I don't normally complain about polls, but this poll has SEVERAL upon SEVERAL problems.
I'm not going to deal with that fucked up poll, but I will say this:

The most popular toys and video games I received were:

1) He-man / Masters of the Universe (my favorite being the entire Evil Horde during one Christmas. I remember sitting on Santa's lap at a Macy's store and asking him for Hordak and he looks at me with a confused look and says "Hordak?!?!?")

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/2/2/AAZVFDAAEG66.jpg

2) G.I Joe... which is not on the poll, but should be due to it's high popularity during the 80's (I received the Defiant Shuttle Complex, which is this GIANT double space shuttle and it's giant station area. My parents had to put it together since the damn thing was as tall as me at the time. LOL. I just played with the two G.I Joe figures the space shuttle came with while they spent two hours putting the damn shuttles and station together. LMAO).

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/2/3/AAZVFDAAEG67.jpg

3) Sega Genesis... which is also not on the poll, but should be (Genesis was actually A LOT more popular than the SNES in the United States for the majority of the 1990's). Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage!!! I had those two games with my Sega Genesis on Christmas.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/9/2/4/AAZVFDAAEG68.jpg

4) Gameboy... It came with Tetris (which bored the shit out of me after ten minutes) and I also received Super Mario Land (which is a very fun game).

Damn. That's evil future in the movies shit

The Google high ranking executives really are that incompetent. Granted, I wouldn't use the word "incompetent", I would use the word COWARDLY. At least they didn't pull the bullshit where they send security to tell the now former employees they are fired and then have the former employees escorted by security away from the building like they are criminals being sent to prison (yeah, they sometimes do that shit too, and they do it to the most harmless people imaginable). Nonetheless, the badges thing is highly cowardly as fuck and just really fucked up on so many levels. The former employees will most likely receive a NON-personalized automated e-mail (A.K.A: copy and paste corporate bullshit) sent to them (and everyone else on the fired list) hours later today, which is just adding insult to injury.

you won't be drafted jesus christ can you guys read?

So in your alternate reality you have made in some pocket dimension, Putin got thrown off a building and was replaced by a super hot former Russian ice skater as the new president of Russia and the war in Ukraine is over? Give me one of those super hot Russian super models as a wife and you got yourself a deal!!

nexigrams posted...

Fuck no, I don't wanna get drafted.

^THIS.
I don't know if the TC knows this, but as of last month or so, anyone entering Russia for the purpose of living there and happens to be a male will automatically get drafted. Out of Putin's mouth himself, he said that this was a requirement. If you are a male entering Russia to live there, your ass if getting drafted and being sent to Ukraine. IF you survive (big IF) you get "rewarded" with full Russian citizenship. This is an official thing now.
With that said...
Fuck that!!!
I wouldn't even step into Russia for visiting purposes due to the crazy shit that's happening over there (if you are male and American, there is a very high chance your ass if going to get framed by some officer who puts something illegal in your bag and your ass is being dragged to prison... until you gets dragged to Russian military where you will become a soldier).

So the NBA is turning into Hockey.
Coolness!!!

Assholes I went to school with

^THIS.
I am NOT nostalgic for the assholes I went to school with. My elementary school and high school had 90% idiotic assholes when it came to the students. I liked my teachers, but 90% of the students were fucking IDIOTS of epic proportions. I think at least half of them are LEGIT in prison (one guy got busted "Chris Hansen style" a few years after High School). Several others kept showing up on Facebook with the police posting posts about some of them saying that there is a warrant out for their arrest because they failed to show up to court for whatever reasons). The only school I liked was Middle school... the vast majority of the people I went to Middle School with were really cool. Same thing with college, most people were cool. But Elementary school and High school were fucking abysmal as hell.

I was watching a Youtube video about the Furry situation some hours BEFORE the police arrested him. The Furry guy is pretty fucked up. The "Cinema Shogun" guy talking in the video started investigating the situation, checked the Furry's Twitter and found some really fucked up shit on the Furry's Twitter (the Furry on his Twitter would refer to his abducted victim as his "Little Lamb" and typed out some tweets about going on a "Little trip" on his Twitter. The police are probably printing off a shit load of tweets that this guy typed up as evidence for the upcoming court trial as we speak). Apparently there are some (not all, but some) people in the Furry community who are doing some pretty fucked up shit.

It was late 90s-early 2000s. Internet was still dial up, and we only had the family computer in the middle of the living room.

My parents worked opposite schedules, with someone basically always home, I had to get creative.

Rather than save pics on the computer and risk getting busted, I thought it would be smarter to just print the pics and hide them in a folder.

One day, my mom was cleaning my room(lol) and was about to stumble across the folder. So I distracted her and threw it out the bedroom window when she wasnt looking. Then I had to go outside and hide the folder in a big storm drain >____>.

anyone else)

I had a porn BINDER. LOL.
To explain, I had (and still have) a fancy photo binder. The type that has the really nice quality plastic sleeve sheets (about 300 + of them). So I would print my porn out on high quality paper from the computer printer and put them into the plastic sleeve sheets of the binder. I got really creative and started creating my own "porn magazine pages". For example, if the female porn model had a gallery of about 20 pics where she was slowly undressing, I would take the first five pics and go to Microsoft Word and then copy and paste the images on the Microsoft Word page and then make some pics smaller and larger than others and arrange them in order. Then I would take the additional pics and create additional pages and would sometimes add in my own text (the name of the porn model, a little bio of where she was from or her life story for that day, etc, etc, etc) In other words, I was designing my own porn magazine style pages using the pics I found online and Microsoft Word. LMAO. I pretty much made a very large porn magazine (in the form of a binder) myself. LOL That's pretty much my porn experience throughout most of the 2000's. LOL.

Diplomacy doesn't work with Russia. We already have established that.

^THIS. Unfortunately, Putin and his underlings have NOT been willing to be diplomatic, which is why this current situation is of great concern right now. Hopefully cooler heads prevail, but it's not looking good.

Congratulations to the TC...
For creating this topic at the wrong fucking time they could have created this topic...
This is the WORST timing for a topic in GameFAQs history.
Why do I say this?
We are now INCHES away from a very POSSIBLE World War 3....

US intel official says Russian missiles crossed into Poland

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvYmYLW97Vk

and...

Russian missiles cross into Poland and kill two people

IMPORTANT NOTE: Poland is a NATO member. The U.S is a NATO member. This is now an extremely fucked up and serious situation we have on our hands here and if things don't cool the fuck down.... there could be one hell of a nasty war coming up sooner than later...

TLDR: Now would NOT be a good idea to enlist in the military....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBF3eo_AeXc

^THIS.
All of this.
Dear TC @ReDaZnDraGoN97

Want to know why military enlistment is down big time?!?!?
Because anyone who has been paying attention for the last few months knows that enlisting now would guarantee them a front row ticket to a possible World War 3 (or at the least a front row ticket to go fight in Poland or Ukraine or somewhere else in Eastern Europe if things only escalate into a smaller scale war as all of NATO is thrown into it because of what just happened in Poland, but a fucking VIOLENT WAR THE U.S WOULD BE THROWN INTO nonetheless since they are part of NATO) due to the way things have been escalating lately because of Mad Man Putin.

It links to a tweet deeper into the thread so you need to scroll up to read more.

There is no explanation for these kinds of decisions beyond intentional malfeasance. Nobody is this unintentionally dumb. I don't know what Musk's game is, but this has to be for a reason. Some kind of weird tax loop? Buy a business, tank its evaluation and earn tax credits by having a lower net worth?

Yes.
A combination of what you just said combined with one hell of a tax write off. Kind of like what Zaslav did with that Bat Girl HBO Max movie, but a lot fancier.Long story short, there is a way to "burn" Twitter down and make bank off it's destruction. Musk knows how to do it. Of course he has to make Twitter's demise look accidental. Can't make it look intentional. It's pretty much the fancy version of some guy burning his own restaurant down, making it look like an accident, and then collecting the money from the insurance and other things.

Yes. An untrained fighter would fail hard.
Hell, there is a fight where a 600lbs trained professional Sumo with some MMA skills (about 6'1) fights a 169lbs trained MMA Fighter (about 5'6) and it goes a little something like this:

So, treat it pretty much like her saying she believes in astrology and the healing power of crystals?

No, treat it as if she is on some raging PMS where she is saying horrible, evil shit just to say horrible, evil shit. You give her a dirty look, you even argue with her a little, then you tell her that you are horny and you want to have sex. Either she gets pissed the hell off and leaves you alone, which is great since you can play video games in peace for a few hours before she comes back as she is as just as horny and sex happens or she is instantly horny and sex starts happening right there immediately. It's a win win situation.

"It was about states' rights"

how do you respond

1) Is she hot?

2) Is she willing to have sex with you?

3) Is she willing to be loyal to you and only you?

4) While 25% of the shit flying out of her mouth might be stupid and absurd, do you at least find enjoyment from at least 75% of the sentences flying out of her mouth?

If you answered YES to these four things, keep dating her. You have to keep in mind that everyone will have a dumb uneducated opinion from time to time. But if the majority of the things (at least 75%) she talks about don't bother the shit out of you and she meets the other criteria above, then keep dating and just filter out the dumb shit she might say 25% of the time.

This list sucks and it's an embarrassment.
For starters, this list ignores the PC Engine / Turbografx-16.
Where the flying fuck is YS: Books 1 & 2?
Legendary Axe? Bonk's Revenge? Soldier Blade? Lords of Thunder? Blazing Lazers?
There isn't a single Turbografx-16 / PC Engine game on that list.

Also, this list ignores the Neo Geo.
Where the flying fuck is at least one of the King of Fighters, one of the Metal Slug games, or some other Neo Geo games? At the very least, Garou: Mark of the Wolves (A.K.A: Fatal Fury: Mark of the Wolves) should be on that list. There isn't a single Neo Geo game on that list.

Also, this list is missing tons of Sega games.
Sega was one of the kings of the arcades during the 1980's and 1990's and they left a tremendous amount of really excellent Sega arcade games off that list. Yes, they at least added in Sega arcade games like Outrun, Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Racing and Daytona USA, but where the flying fuck are Sega arcade games like Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder (there are zero Golden Axe games on the list) and several others that should be on that list?

Also, ZERO Sega Master System games. Not even Phantasy Star. Who the fuck wrote this list?

Hell, 8-bit console RPGs in general are largely missing. Where the fuck is Dragon Warrior 4 (Dragon Quest 4)? One of the NES Dragon Quest games should be on that list and it should be part 4. Where the fuck is it?

Speaking of NES... no Metroid?!? At least they included Super Nintendo's Super Metroid and Gamecube's Metroid Prime on that list, but the original Metroid deserves to be on that list with the other NES games mentioned.

Well, at least they threw in a FEW Sega Genesis games, but there are several very highly notable ones they left out. For starters, where the fuck is Shinobi 3? Shining Force 2? etc?!?

Also,
As someone already pointed out, there are zero wrestling games and some of those Aki developed wrestling games like WWF No Mercy and WCW / NWO: Revenge for Nintendo 64 are some of the greatest games. One of those (I would pick No Mercy) should definitely be on that list.

I'm not even going to get started on how Colecovision and Intellivision are completely ignored. At the very least, Intellivision's Astrosmash should be on that list. It was the most successful NON-Atari 2600 game for a reason from it's era. That should be there.

Anyway,
I could seriously go on (there is a lot wrong with that list. A LOT wrong).
It feels like the person(s) who made that list has a very limited understanding of games from the 1970's (why the fuck is 1973, 1974, 1975, and 1976 empty? It wasn't only Pong clones released during those years, there were some innovative games released during those years which created several genres of games), very limited understanding of games from the 1980's... wait a fucking second...

Where the fuck are 1980's / 1990's computer games like King's Quest, Space Quest, Police Quest, Leisure Suit Larry and their sequels? There should at the very least be ONE entry from each of those series on that list! How the flying fuck are all of those ignored?!? Those are some of the games that defined computer gaming during the 1980's and even into some of the 1990's!

Also, a limited understanding of early to mid 90's gaming (even though it's slightly better than the abomination of understanding they have for the 70's and 80's) and the rest of the list is missing some notable games. And a huge "What the flying fuck" at 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022 being completely empty. Did they stop updating their list at the end of 2018? Apparently not since they added in Xenoblade Chronicles this year (talk about being late as hell). There is no reason for them to stop at 2018. Great games have came out during the last four years.

This list is so bad, it made me write up an essay on how fucked up that list is.
And I am holding back because there is so much more wrong with that list, but I'm tired of typing so I am stopping here.
