WORMS: The Complete History | Full Length Retro Gaming Doc.
I enjoyed worms, but not enough to watch an hour long documentary about it. Upvote for nostalgia.
BEETLEJUICE BEETLEJUICE | Official Teaser Trailer
If the best (and only) line featured in the teaser is "The juice is loose" then I fear you may be right... Talking of which, the new Ghostbusters movie released in the UK today, I wonder if I'm going to be disappointed by my cinema outing this weekend? At least they've got most of the original gang back, hopefully trigger some nostalgia highs!
Um…long awaited sequel? Who was actually waiting for this?
There’s potential here, but I fear it’s another memberberry cash grab, washing every last cent possible out of everything that was good from my childhood leaving empty husks that once were fond memories. Fingers crossed I’m wrong.
PopCorners Breaking Bad Super Bowl Commercial--Breaking Good
Worth a chuckle (for the nostalgia of a great series). A little late to the game though. I mean, even Better Call Saul ended. Getting Saul to hustle PopCorners like he did burner phones is more timely than this ad script? Probably more creatively challenging than this though.
Last Christmas I Gave You My Heart
Aaah, nostalgia. I was young when this came out and my brother and I penned the classic 'Last Christmas I Did a Big Fart'. Just this year I've passed the torch on to my own 8-year-old who now thinks it's the best song ever.
Balance a coin on the side of a banknote
It's not quite working for me. It stays on until there's just a degree or two left, so it's possibly an illusion of sorts. Well, that or my hands are too shaky.
Nice little trick though, and the old school aesthetic really hits my nostalgia buttons.
Bambi Meets Godzilla
A cult classic, *promote the nostalgia
Cop Rock - Baby Merchant
Still more creative than 80% of the stuff we have...
...of course NOT. Nostalgia's one heck of a drug.
Crysis Remastered - Official 8K Tech Trailer
Some of it's nostalgia. It was a great game that really did push graphics cards to their limits. Being able to play with updated textures and such would be fun.
Why is everyone losing their shit over a port of a poorly optimized game to a newer version of the engine?
The Most Popular Programming Languages - 1965/2020
How so? I've always found C# docs to be quite a bit better than the equivalent Sun/Oracle's Java docs. Language features like auto-property/fields, Lamda expressions, LINQ, etc have been sorely missed in Java (at least by me) until recently. Admittedly, the C# frameworks are a bit lacking compared to the Java ecosystem though. I will admit that I've had to get back into Java recently for my job and after starting to use IntelliJ, it's actually made Java mor enjoyable.
My programming started with BASIC on an IBM XT back in the 80s and various programming books, mainly just copying the programs as written then trying to modify them. This book in particular was pivotal for me as I loved the old Infocom text adventures of the time:
Write Your Own Adventure Programs For Your Microcomputer:

(It looks like these books were released for free by Usborne: https://usborne.com/browse-books/features/computer-and-coding-books/ ... what a nostalgia trip!)
In high-school I learned C and LISP for Autocad programming. I continued to learn about C (plus a little C++) and ASM thanks to John Carmack and DOOM/Quake. Wrote my own computer games (mainly RTS as the Command and Conquer series was big back then) ... nothing great but I thought they were cool.
Dabbled in Java a bit in college but ultimately shifted to C++ and C# after getting a consultancy job and that is what I continued with until recently. Now I'm back into Java and currently trying to catch up on all the front-end Javascript libraries now as well as tinkering with Perl, GO, and Objective-C.
C#? You have my sympathy. That ecosystem TEH SUX!
Action Man: A More Realistic Soldier Action Figure
*promote for nostalgia
M.A.S.K. - S01E01 - The Deathstone (Pilot Episode)
WOW. I had a vague memory of this show existing, but watching this I now remember owning two of the toys - Rhino and Piranha.
Looking at pictures of the various M.A.S.K. toys reminded me of the existence of RoadBlasters toys. Nostalgia like crazy today - thanks!
The Last Starfighter - Redone VFX Teaser
Greetings Starfighter.
*promote 80's nostalgia
Why the US national anthem is terrible — and perfect
I have no love or nostalgia for our national anthem.
It's awful and an embarrassment.
A Noble Spirit Embiggens The Smallest Man (The Simpsons)
Having been added to the dictionary, embiggen is no longer cromulent. Expand your perspicasity.
*quality nostalgia...but isn't that really Hans Sprungfeld?
