For all the censorship that went on in the 90's, you've gotta admire their original theatrical lyrics of the opening song "Where they cut off your ear if they don't like your face." I still remember hearing that as a kid and thinking, that's hardcore....

I remember playing a driving simulator where you can put in how many drinks you'd like to have, and then drive your car. The game would then simulated the input lag, so you'd feel how hard it would be to drive with that many beers.

nah he just knew a broken strategy (well broken to someone who didn't know how to do it) all he did was hail marry's and took it to the endzone pretty much anytime he got the ball, and I didn't know how to counter it. as said I was about 12 this dude was about 20


Whew..., that sounds like me when I tried to play Killer Instinct against an adult hogging the machine once. I had precious few quarters to spend, and he obviously didn't mind blowing his own money. So, I was pretty much doomed to have myself pummeled with ultra combos every single match.

Funtimes.

despite being a young teen male I oddly don't remember the cheerleaders. my biggest memory was getting my ass handed to me by some older teen or adult who had clearly played the game way too much. I would have claimed he was cheating had he not been standing right next to me where I could see everything he did.


That was one great thing about arcades as opposed to modern online multiplayer. You couldn't accuse someone of cheating, since you were both playing on the exact same machine (generally speaking).

Of course, the later NFL Blitz games had those three-icon cheats you could put in if you were fast enough on the loading screens (Mortal Kombat had the same ability). Is it possible that your opponent was using cheat codes???

hmm my favorite (and sadly I haven't gotten to play many arcade machines in life) was probably MvC 1. also played the hell out of this capcom game where you drove around in a car that could shoot but you could get out of the car voluntarily or because it was about to blow but being on foot meant 1 hit to die.
also nfl blitz


I remember those weird looking CG cheerleaders on NFL Blitz. The skin textures made them look like bronze statues.

Ain't that the truth.

It's been hysterical to watch the sharp polarity over big moments / plot twists (e.g. Littlefinger). What's fantastic or amazing for some is contrived or disappointing to others.

That being said, the producers of this show don't give a crap if you don't like it. They have a big enough audience, and they know they can't please everybody. Heck, even the haters keep tuning in, and that's good enough for them.

Also, I have to agree that YouTube is perfect for this show. You can find any specific scene you want to watch. And this show is all about singular scenes. YouTube is great for rewatching scenes


Thankfully, HBO is smart enough to know that sharing key scenes on Youtube builds hype and pulls in more viewers.

For many T.V. shows, the Youtubers would be buried in a sea of copyright strikes.

I didn't mean to be edgy, the premise of the topic hit me the other day and I got sad


Well, you're definitely not the only one who's thought through this. Generally, when I've seen people give the "All part of God's plan" statement, they're referring to the Judeo-Christian "God," and that he's allegedly sovereign and omniscient (so he has a perfect plan, and the power to carry it out), but we also have a free will. A plan is just that..., a plan. It doesn't guarantee results. It just establishes a framework. Plans can be adhered to, or disregarded. Just because people rejected him, doesn't mean he planned it (though he certainly wasn't surprised by it, being omniscient and all).

The thing is, we're sorta in a pickle here. Either he can 1) downright FORCE you to believe in him according to his perfect little plan (at the cost of your own free will), or 2) he can let you do whatever the hell you want (at the RISK that you jack up his perfect plan).

After all, I can make the greatest plans imaginable all day long, but if people disregard them those plans become useless. That's just my two cents.

Indeed, PotD has been rather stale on religion topics since the days of Kriem / Clench / Chelle / etc.

No, probably should read to learn about morals and such.


Morals were around long before the bible.


Morals were around before ANY book on morals was written. By your logic, any book or compendium of any sort of wisdom should be discarded simply because the morals already existed before they were written down.

You can benefit from reading the wisdom of others, and learning from their mistakes. I'm sick of seeing this dumbass argument regurgitated over and over...

I've seen quite a few games with built-in cup holders and ashtrays


I see them on stuff like the poker machines at truck stops, but most of my old hometown arcade machines didn't have them.

Arcades never used to allow food or beverages when I was a kid.


True, it depends on the arcade as well. I can understand why places like Chuck-E-Cheese wouldn't want a bunch of kids spilling soda all over their machines.
