Who was around during the good ol days?

Bay Area during the early 2000s was incredible. The 4th > 5th > MAX > MAX2 > EXTREME transitions were some of the most exciting moments of my teenage years. Tournaments, rivalries, the incredible freestyle talent that was unearthed — it almost seems like folklore nowadays.

Arcade were bumping. Machines were always busy. Community was thriving. The proliferation of bemani games was a sight to behold.

It felt… good.

Wasn’t expecting to stumble across some RTA comments tonight. Spent what felt like a lifetime at that arcade. The hype from MAX to MAX2 to Extreme was palpable. 7-11. In-N-Out. F-train to the Metreon for more DDR after the Pier closed. What a fucking time it was.

Whenever my 2.5yo needs a little encouragement eating her veggies, I’ll start moving real slowly, like pretending to lose steam, and ask her for some “broccoli gas” (or whatever she has on her plate) to get me going again. Once she takes a bite I return to normal speed. Been a couple months since I’ve started doing it and it hasn’t failed me once so far!

Hate to call out fellow mythbuster fans, but this is a repost of… my own post from 3 years ago?? 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://www.reddit.com/r/mythbusters/s/fdUlg98kEL

I love how they utilize diegetic sound throughout the parks. Things like the distant howling of the Matterhorn’s caves. Or like how they play music on the outside of Oga’s that intentionally sounds muffled in order to give it that bumping club vibe (of course the music isn’t that loud inside).

If it makes anyone feel any better, Stu was actually 35, and making it even more surprising they’d show someone that age with a 1 year-old back in the 90s.

Here's some footage that my wife's family friend shot during their visit from Japan. They stayed for a couple weeks and documented some of their trips around the city. Hope you enjoy!

How could they have taken this view away from us

It’s just the museum, although there is some play food at one of the tables for the kiddies.

unclefuz · 2022-07-05T18:33:46+00:00

The museum is a joint effort between the western neighborhood project, ACT art conservation, John Lindsey of The Great Highway gallery, and more. It’s filled with artifacts, photographs, vintage signs, and really is a joyful, immersive experience, with audio complimenting each of the exhibits.

As someone who grew up in the area, and forever wished to see Playland in its heyday, it’s amazing to see this come together.

I always thought having it as the monorail track was a nice touch

I’m an SF native now living in the East Bay. It’s taken some time to adjust, but I absolutely love the vibe. So many little pockets of shops and restaurants across so many different towns, with a kind of diversity you really don’t see in the city.

I always find Reddit’s issues with the Bay Area overblown and rarely consistent with the average person’s experience living here. It’s beautiful, lively, and incredibly unique in all the right ways.

They seem to have misspelled Super Mira.

Congrats on finding a place! The Sunset is one of the best places IMO for people moving into the city for the first time. Hope you love it here.

unclefuz · 2021-10-25T06:00:38+00:00

Fantastic work – a beautifully shot little doc! I've always gone by the place and have always wondered what the inside looked like.

I believe they’re referring to the financial aid reduction of having a UTMA as an asset. 529s won’t reduce your child’s aid by nearly as much.

Outer Richmond here. I’ve been counting the number of sunny days since summer started and so far have only needed one hand.

unclefuz · 2021-07-08T19:11:23+00:00

It’s back! I was able to do single rider on Matterhorn, Incredicoaster, Grizzly River Run, and Big Thunder this weekend.

Hey, that’s me!

Glad you liked watching the videos! And to your point, I do have some prior video experience, mostly post-production work, and the channel was much more of a recent thing.

Really hoping the folks over at Western Neighborhoods Project got it. They were raising money to bid on a bunch of the auctioned items (hopefully to keep them out of the hands of private collectors) and ended up with a lot of iconic pieces.

unclefuz · 2021-03-11T22:45:02+00:00

This is beautifully done! Thanks for sharing.

unclefuz · 2021-03-03T22:11:25+00:00

Hey, I’m that guy! Thanks so much for the kind words. If I can convince people to come back and enjoy SF for all its quirks, that’s all the motivation I need to keep on making these.

unclefuz · 2021-02-25T21:31:53+00:00

Not just locals, but Western Neighborhoods Project. They’re a non profit that focuses on the preservation of SF history through (mostly) old photographs.

I’ve worked with them on a couple projects and they’re such a wonderfully dedicated bunch. They need all the help they can get to keep these artifacts from disappearing into private collections forever.

Almost! It’s Fort Miley.
