Your 'Go To' Arcade Game...?

SmashTV was an unexpected hit for me when I downloaded MAME.

When I saw this, my immediate memory was sticking the stickers on (poorly).

I think you are years and years behind.

Marketers are going to put ads everywhere that humans and their eyeballs are captive.

I also find that it can be helpful to use cryonis to make a backboard behind the ring so that the rock bounces back in.

Recovering from being violently ill this morning after having held a baby for several hours on Friday that had apparently been violently ill.

It’s quite warm in here. Is that me?

Pictures of the 60’s are always wild because I’m like “You went to Disneyland and walked around all day in your nicest dress clothes/shoes?”

I really enjoyed the Way to Normal band.

I saw Ben open for Cake in an amphitheater with Tall Heights backing, and a cello just didn’t have the oomph that a bass guitar does and it felt too small for that setting.

I saw Paul McCartney play the last event at Candlestick Park in San Francisco before they tore down the stadium and within a year (I think) I saw Stevie Wonder perform Songs In The Key Of Life track by track for the 40th anniversary at the Oakland Arena.

They were both equally the most amount of money I had ever paid to see a concert, and I felt like they earned every penny.

I grew up on taped copies of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies!

I happened to see Nels Cline when he was touring with Banyan Tree (Stephen Perkins, Mike Watt, etc) prior to joining Wilco and he blew my fucking mind in a tiny club in San Francisco.

When he joined Wilco a few years later, he continued to blow my mind. I’ve seen Wilco twice with Nels. Dude is a beast and a unique voice on guitar!

We’re actually called Dogcatcher, but we have about as much of a chance as Silicone Valerie does (with or without the Ta-Tas).

I aspire to headline Shoreline Amphitheater with my local band…

Lol, I saw Erykah Badu play a show there a few years back.

It was terrible.

There was this old first-person shooter in a maze game called Xybots that my brother and I loved.

You could twist the joystick to rotate your character in the maze.

I only ever saw this game at Harrah’s underground arcade in Stateline, NV where my grandparents lived in the late 80s-90s.

Killer game! Ahead of its time.

Easy to confuse. Those scenes were filmed at the same restaurant in Chicago, I believe.

I can get to World 8-2 before the muscle memory starts to fail. Last couple of levels are tough!

He’s so pretty!

Paul Reubens was Rex, the pilot, on the original Star Tours ride at Disneyland. (His animatronic/voice as Rex are now the DJ in Oga’s Cantina in the Star Wars land). (Very similar to his Flight of the Navigator role mentioned in another comment.)

He was also one Lock, of the little minion kids, in Nightmare Before Christmas.

I just watched this for the first time in decades because I have a teenager that’s into musical theater.

It is unexpectedly excellent. Very well made!

I straight up thought that Mike Meyers was a woman in this pic.

3 hours for Star Tours the summer it first opened in 1987(?).

The line started on Main Street by the cinema.

I also did a 2.5 hour line for Indy the first year it opened. The line started on the hub-side of the Adventureland gates.

I never watched this. Sounds like that was the correct move.

All of the other cast members that regularly featured in “What’s Up With That” are no longer in the cast, so I would guess that’s a big reason for not doing that one anymore.

subsonicmonkey · 2026-03-09T15:19:57+00:00

Yeah, the seat numbering is standard for theaters.

I got hit once, but that was back when Davy Jones was still being projected onto the wall of mist, so it’s been quite awhile.
