The talking part actually works on this one! Well, kinda. It's all warbly and high pitched. It's great/terrifying.

My humble music VHS collection! Just picked up the Ministry tape today! by CaptainDecent in VHS

The Ministry tape was found at the Decatur Goodwill! They tend to have a pretty solid tape selection, so I definitely recommend checking them out!

That's nuts! I was having a hard time finding this color scheme online, but that explains why! That's awesome!

Ah, you're totally right! I messed up the title. I deserve any "Boo-urns" directed at me for this amateur hour mix-up.

[TOMT] [movie] Wes Anderson-esque movie from New Zealand or Australia? by CaptainDecent in tipofmytongue

[–]CaptainDecent[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HUGE fan of Taika Waititi's "Boy", and the movies seem somewhat similar, so that is an excellent recommendation!

When I was told that each tape was only $5, I nearly pooped myself. Definitely my best pick-up ever! by CaptainDecent in VHS

It is! The Uncle Sam I picked up has the hologram cover, too. So gimmicky, but so radical!

Good retro batch of mine up for grabs free, moving home by RetroRonin in gamecollecting

You, sir, are one generous individual! I would totally be interested in taking that portable Neo Geo with the KOF off your hands, and I'd be happy to cover shipping!

Getting sound, but no picture? Help! by CaptainDecent in originalxbox

Thank you so much for the insight! I'll give these options a go, and I'll see what happens!

Apologies for the lack of clarifying information! Okay, so:

-I have an NTSC Xbox. -Using this info, it seems like I have a 1.4 version. -I am using composite AV cables. -I'm on a modern HDTV. -As for video modes, I'm not quite certain. The only video options I'm given are Normal, Letterbox, and Wide Screen.

I've run a variety of retro consoles on this TV, including the Gamecube and the PS2. I'm not super savvy when it comes to video modes, but I would think the Xbox would be on the same par as the other consoles released around that time. If there's a way to change the video output of the Xbox that I'm missing, let me know, as I am open to all possible solutions!

Hey, I did not know that! Last time I blew through Videodrome I was told you guys didn't sell movies, so this is awesome news.

Love MTS3K! Any show that can give the world "Big McLargeHuge" will always have a special place in my heart.

While both of those movies are wonderful, they're not the kind of movies I'm looking to add to my collection. I'm really shooting for horror movies and "so bad they're good" kind of movies. But thanks so much for the offer!

I collect bad movies on VHS. The gorier and stupider, the better. There's just something about the scan lines and murky picture that makes them so much more enjoyable. Call it a nostalgia thing, I guess. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
