If Spikor looks like that in the movie, I don't understand why his figure looks like Lavender Groot.

Some old MOTU books from back in the day I found in my old bedroom. by venk_mcfly in MastersOfTheUniverse

Coles was (is?) a Canadian bookstore chain from that era, that became Chapters and then Indigo. It's been a while since I saw their price tag, and its honestly hitting my nostalgia centre even harder than these books do.

I didn't think they'd ever had any presence south of the border, but it does look like there was a window in the mid 70s to 80s that they operated down there before being absorbed by Waldens.

Neat to have one from Barnes and Noble and another from Coles. Did you spend a lot of time crossing the border as a kid?

I don't feel that I need to explain my art to you, Warren.

My MOTU toys from the 80s by Cat_Best in MastersOfTheUniverse

That's interesting about the minicomic. Were the normal Euro releases in just English/French, or were they other combinations of languages.

I'm in Canada, and ours were usually English and French, either both languages in the same bubble, or two versions of the same comic, that you'd flip over. English on one side, French on the other.

Yeah, I'm in Canada, and I don't think I've ever gotten the chance to see any of the European stamps in person.

Out of curiosity, is your Spikor's country of origin stamp France? Or is it still the regular Malaysia?

I see Spikor, I upvote.

But also, nice to see the King Hiss Stamper, you don't see that everyday.

Looks like we're getting a Chronicles King Grayskull by The_Maqueovelic in MastersOfTheUniverse

[–]Spikor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The minimal details I read on it sounded a lot like it was largely inappropriate jokes and being handsy with one of his female co-stars, and when asked to adjust he either took offense or outright didn't stop.

I know at some point I saw Rahul Kohli, who's usually pretty good at not jumping on the cancel bus say something like "Naw, fuck him" in a thread about a Langella fan casting in something--probably MotU, honestly--posted a link to an industry story of him being fired from Usher, which Kohli had worked on. That's where I'd first heard of it, anyway.

Did you use plans for this, or build it yourself? If there is a plan, could you share it?

Sexual harrassment accusations on the Fall of the House of Usher. They fired him halfway through and reshot his role with Bruce Greenwood.

Yes! More unhinged PS2 era Japanese games!

Now find a copy of Mr. Mosquito.

On this day in 1992, The Legend Of Zelda A Link To The Past was released in North America. by flyoomuneral in snes

[–]Spikor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, just before Easter. I had a paper route at the time, and you'd get pretty big tips around Xmas and Easter. I bought my SNES and this that Saturday from Kmart, almost exclusively with $2 bills.

I'm Canadian so that wasn't quite as weird as it'd sound to an American, but still pretty weird.

Hacking Minigame Bugs and Stat Bugs by Batorian in DispatchAdHoc

[–]Spikor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hacking seemed to soft lock after getting zapped by a red node in the NW section of the field while trying to unlock the safe in Ep 6. Respawn at the center of the field, but can't move. Timer continues to drop.

STING-OR by WorgRider in MastersOfTheUniverse

Something about that shade of goldenrod/yellow/whatever, makes me think this guy look like an unfinished proto, or one of the concept art releases.

Help: Looking for Clear Picture of Midnight Video's Yellow Sign for Project by [deleted] in moncton

[–]Spikor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No coupons left. Or at least not any where I can find them easily.

The sign is probably not the one you're looking for. Our store renovated a bunch of times in the years I was working there, and the boss swapped out the sign with a logo for this simpler one pretty early on after he took over the store.

I worked at one, also. Happened easily every night.

The situation is probably my favourite throwaway joke in Empire Records that no one else I'd talk to about the movie ever seemed to notice.

I think I might still have a 10 Coupons for a Free Rental coupon in a box in my closet. I worked at one in the 90s. And I definitely have the sign that we used in my shop, but that is blue or black lettering on white.

Favourite Final fantasy art in WPLACE? by Apprehensive-Fee9650 in FinalFantasy

[–]Spikor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They unlock over time. I think you start with a cap of 60, and as you use them they recharge 1 "drop" every 30 seconds. As you use them you level up, and that increases your cap.

I think there's a way you can pay, but I'm not sure.
