Default The Great Nostalgia Thread

So, this showed up in my YouTube suggestions. If you don't nostalgia, you probably aren't an American nerd in your 20s.

Mine had a Lowe's Hardware Store on it. Because this is the South, that's why.

An American anime nerd. I'm in my 20's and still play Dungeons and Dragons but I'm not nostalgia...ing from that.

I was actually singing this in my car loudly today, on the subject of nostalgia for people in their 20's.

Did you have an NES? Of course you did. You now have the Space Music from the Capcom Ducktails game stuck in your head.

You're welcome.

I do not care for anime.
I do not care, for it is gay.
I do not like green eggs and ham.
I do not like them, Sam I Am.

(also Power Rangers is just a live action Voltron clone, so I cba.)

I'm in my early 30's.

I feel like maybe it was his lack of skin and exposed brain that made him scary. At least until parents complained and he basically turned into a cartoon character.

Technically, Power Rangers' source material is older than Voltron. Who's ripping off who now!?

Power Rangers and Voltron take different approaches to the "completely rip apart a Japanese product to make something so we don't have to make our own show" plan. While Voltron takes unrelated shows and splices them together, Power Rangers actually creates US-made content in order to further a bigoted, Amero-centric agenda of wiping out any expression of foreign culture, because God knows children can't deal with that.

They're all ripping off Super Street Fighter II, the monomyth of our generation.

Something about this game makes it more nostalgic than others. It still is a really good (and hard) game today. Has anyone else played it?

The Batman animated series of the 90s was indisputably awesome, but I never played a game based on it that was any good.

The Shredder from (old school) Ninja Turtles is scarier than Zedd could ever dream of being.
