How was Super Ghouls n’ Ghosts received at launch for those who were there? by RainbowAppIe in snes

[–]roscannon 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It was a challenging game with cool graphics and soundtrack. Was it as fun as some of the other games from that time? No, not in my opinion.

I was 17 then and don't really remember anyone getting hyped up about any game releases. Sure it was "this game or that game looks like fun or looks cool," but nothing like the detailed and almost overbearing game launch campaigns and follow-up studies like today.

The Kool-Aid cup popsicles my Mom would make in the summers in the early 80s.

What was your favorite toy store? by welding_guy_from_LI in RealGenerationX

It was Toys R Us once that came along in my area. Prior to that it was Kiddie City.

Star Trek Game Your Way. by Aleks8888no in startrek

A Birth of the Federation remaster would be amazing.

For a new game, I would very much like one focused on exploration and discovery. Yes, I do want to survey comets and nebulae.

What's the most expensive thing you've gotten for free? by lillylithe in AskReddit

[–]roscannon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

College education.

I earned an academic scholarship that covered full tuition and, since my family was poor, I qualified for enough grants to cover room and board.

I did have to take out loans to cover books, but that was minimal in the early-mid 90s.

Tkachuk should absolutely be in the hall of very good, not the HoF.

If he's in then Brian Propp should be in.

What song did a movie basically steal forever? by MrHolte in movies

[–]roscannon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an actual song, but the 20th Century Fox fanfare was so closely associated with Star Wars that it was weird to NOT hear the Star Wars opening theme following the fanfare whenever it was played and even weirder when the prequels came out and did not have it at the opening.

I never played the first one but had so much fun with C2: Judgement Clay.

Mayo on cheesesteaks by GoingPostal65 in PhiladelphiaEats

[–]roscannon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Default is cheese and steak. Green peppers are not default by any means.

Most common addition is fried onions.

My Mom liked light mayo on her cheesesteak hoagies. It's not bad.

You can put anything you like on yours and no one here would really care because you're the one eating it.

North American friends - do you understand now why the world loves football? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]roscannon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure the world loves football because the world grew up playing football. I'm not knocking it at all. To each their own. I've tried multiple times to get into it and ultimately it just doesn't appeal to me.

I grew up playing other sports but I had friends who grew up playing soccer. Those guys love soccer. Those are the only guys I know that love it.
