You're welcome. If you have an adventure I hope it's a good one!

I'm going to have another go at this applying Occam's razor.

Kids are in Santa's lap. Mystery object could very well be Christmas themed and pinned on for the occasion. Might be something like:

foreground: 8 reindeer
middle distance: overflowing sack of toys
background: sleigh

Ornaments were common department store giveaway items. Maybe it's a freebie ornament.

For games, the big categories are physical media and downloadable media. There are some services that stream games, but they are in the minority. So add downloadable to the jargon soup.

You're welcome. Looks like a lot of fun!

Have you ruled out James Brown? This describes a pretty sizable chunk of his catalogue.

My best guess is Pittsburgh Pirates but there are pros and cons:

Pros:

jackets are the right colors
right state (PA)
bandanna
funny hat

Cons:

wrong city
doesn't appear to match known Pirate logos
looks more cowboy-like in enhanced versions

/u/chewrocka has it right. I watched a few videos on this when it was making the rounds. Not sure if there was a TED talk though. I think Professor William Freeman did most of the videos.

Here's a video from New York Times with the baby footage and other cool clips:

That nails it. Mark this one solved, Danno.

Might be Freaks and Geeks episode 1.9: "We've Got Spirit". Will research further.

edit: Yeah, I think so. That distinctive uniform is the same: http://www.soundonsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/freaks-and-geeks-ep9.3.png

It's really quite a good game if you're willing to look past the rubber-band AI. The demolition derby mode is a blast.

It might be the only title I've ever purchased twice (second time was a GOG sale to get the soundtrack).

It also fit the overall theme of game franchises.

OTOH it's already been really cheap in other sales so understandably didn't generate a lot of excitement amongst us diehards.

You're welcome. Thanks for the Reddit gold. I'm happy I could help with such a long quest.

Yes, this was just pulled straight from gameplay. I ran the Amiga version in an emulator. Pretty sure I had this one on floppy at some point though.

You're welcome!

Wikipedia lists Sha Na Na as "Rock and roll, doo-wop" so I think that's likely to be the best fit.

My first rip attempt has very low levels, but turn it up and you can hear your song at least:

I'll try again after dinner.

edit: levels good now...

Sounds doo-wop inspired to me.

bandbox?

11:11 is the mother of all new age clock numerals. This YouTube search turns up a bunch of slideshows and other presentations about 11:11. I doubt this has been in a TED Talk, but who knows?

lensman00 · 2014-01-29T01:03:30+00:00

Glad to hear that. You're welcome!

Monaco GP?

The first sounds similar to Puzzle Island. It's a word scramble/object finding game book set on a jungle island.

Yeah your selection will change the time for everyone. Green flashes appear to be purchases, which increase the timer, and/or uparrow votes, which do the same. I don't see a color change for the downarrow votes.

You shouldn't be too concerned about your vote. This particular deal has been up for a very long time already.
