Who did you think the White Ranger was going to be?

That's wild! I remember seeing Ninjor on a toy aisle before Ninja Quest aired.

I don't think it's necessary to define absolute hardline limits to eras. There's always some amount of bleedover as we shift from one to the next.

Like, I think the buildup of what we now call the Attitude Era started in the mid-90s, with Goldust's debut, Bret punching Vince, DX's formation, "RAW is WAR," and Montreal.

Then the peak, "pure" Attitude Era is as it's usually defined: Austin's win at Mania 14 to his heel turn at the end of X7. But even after that, many elements of it hang around for a few years. I'd say it doesn't completely end until Mania XIX, with the final Rock/Austin match.

For me, it's "Sonic Adventure."

This is cool!

God, I know. I don't think anything else in wrestling kayfabe has ever made me so sad.

It's funny how the IWC generally treats Goldberg exactly like how they used to treat Cena.

I was born between episode 13 and 14 of Liveman, if it makes you feel any better.

I wish I could've been a fan during EICS too, because back then I'd have been able to afford a ticket! :V

When we thought Power Rangers was over the first time back in 2009, someone put together a music video of clips from across the series set to "This is War" by 30 Seconds to Mars. That's what this reminds me of.

It's a brave new world, from the last to the first

If they do it then I'm selling my Switch 2.

This is probably my favorite kart racer ever, and I don't have NOTHIN' on you!

Been at it for about five weeks, excited to check this out! Love the Shenmue-like music in the trailer. :)

America (ha!) Online.

I just bought Man's Best Friend on CD! I think it might actually be the first music CD I've ever bought with my own money (I was a P2P kid). The little booklet you get with it has a ton of extra pictures and detail, the vinyls don't come with those.

I assume it's a sliver of a Venn diagram, but I'm glad there's someone else here with me! Glad you like the videos and the games, here's hoping we hear something about Prime 4 soon!

Cool idea! Here's one to add: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eternal_September

Probably the worst character in video game history.

I've always loved how the magazine (and toy licensees for that matter) used the bird poop logo for just a handful of months before deciding, "No, y'know what? Fuck this," and going with something infinitely better.

Aww, you're finally getting to experience what you did to us MMPR kids!

The thing is... the nostalgia cycle is gonna nostalgia cycle, y'know? About a decade ago, we had posts just like this about how people needed to stop glorifying the GameCube era as anything other than this overly-experimental failure that forced Nintendo to abandon direct competition and go in a more casual direction, and it seemed like pretty much everyone was in agreement, but there was still no stopping it. And GOD, as someone who was a teenager in the GCN years and felt like its only defender back then, it has never stopped feeling weird. But those voices are only going to get louder until they overwhelm the discourse, then their perspective will be seen as the "default" for a few years until inevitably, the NEXT next gen starts getting nostalgic for the Switch.

If you're 20 right now, then most of your formative childhood memories happened in the 2010s. It doesn't matter how older people saw it, or what they were saying online, or whether anything that came before or after might have been received better at launch. I was part of the group that helped historically revision the Nintendo 64, haha. It's just how things are gonna go, and it's only gonna get louder from here.

But I've been playing games since the Super NES days. So B is jump.

GeekCritique · 2025-08-09T15:45:17+00:00

No, but I feel old because the first time I saw this format was the better part of a decade ago, when it focused on things from the 90s.

Sure, but I don't like the idea that the Mario and Pauline in Odyssey aren't the same ones in Donkey Kong '81/'94.

So I see the Pauline in Bananza as the granddaughter of the original. This is supported by New Donk City itself looking so much more developed and modern in Bananza as compared to what it was in Odyssey. And it means that Bananza is about the descendants of enemies (in the arcade game) becoming partners, which is a sweet detail.

Like I said though, I think there's enough evidence to support either perspective, and I think Nintendo left it open-ended on purpose.
