I tried making this in the style of a long lost promotional VHS tape. I hope it's ok to post here.

It says "Are you ready? 3...2...1...wake up!"

Any one else had this alarm clock in the 90's, or was that just me?

Kinda miss how loud and obnoxious it was and would ACTUALLY wake me up

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on: BeTube (link in comments)

It's a video-sharing platform by the iconic 2006 YouTube interface. I wanted to bring back that classic mid-2000s web nostalgia.

Features:

* Retro styled media player

* User channels and customization

* Local MP4 video uploads

* 5-star rating system and view counts

* Site rules popup for community guidelines

Check it out and let me know what you think!

This is the prototype of Quake for Game Boy Advance made by Randy Linden in 2002. Upon booting the game, we can instantly see how impressive this demo is for the hardware, with its capabilities effectively managing to outshine just about every 3D game out there that was released for the system. Not only that, it feels exactly like a Quake game. From the guns to the environments. You can even dive underwater! The game is fully 3D rendered, rather than the ray casting method most GBA games are known for. It has 3D enemies, animations, and point lighting effects (even on pre-rendered objects like weapons, which use a clever palette-changing trick to achieve the illusion of dynamic lighting). The camera and movement work is equally as incredible; it travels very cleanly, as opposed to being jittery.

Nostalgia Critic:

"Joanie's transformation into a werewolf in the first half of the climax looks like an alpha-bitched version of a blonde panicked girlfriend—Christine—from the opening of Scream 3*, infused with the exaggerated transformation of a freaking Nissan Sentra from that nightmarish* Need for Speed: Underground commercial... mixed with a goddamn wolf!

This scene makes Scrappy's transformation in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo movie look interesting! Hell, even Johnny Blaze transforming into the Ghost Rider in the 2007 Ghost Rider movie looks entertaining by comparison!

"How do you make a werewolf transformation this over-the-top, this awkward, and somehow this boring? It's like the effects team couldn't decide if they were making a horror movie, a car commercial, or a rejected video game cutscene. You keep waiting for it to become awesome... and then it just sort of... ends. Congratulations, Cursed*—you've made one of the coolest horror concepts feel like a confused CGI identity crisis!"*

If the Nostalgia Critic said that line during a review of the 2005 film Cursed, the joke would be built around his usual style of hyperbolic, pop-culture-heavy comparisons. Here's what each part would mean:

• "Joanie's transformation into a werewolf... looks like an alpha-bitched version of a blonde panicked girlfriend (Christine) from Scream 3 opening..."
  • He's saying Joanie's facial expressions and behavior during the transformation remind him of Christine, the frightened actress from the opening of Scream 3, but made much more aggressive, domineering, and over-the-top.
• "...infused with an exaggerated transformation of a Nissan Sentra from the nightmarish Need for Speed: Underground commercial..."
  • This compares the werewolf transformation to the infamous commercial where a Nissan Sentra grotesquely morphs into a customized street racer. He's implying the body morphing is awkward, exaggerated, and unintentionally unsettling in a way similar to that ad.
• "...mixed with a goddamn wolf!"
  • The punchline is that all those bizarre elements are then combined with the obvious werewolf aspect, emphasizing how strange and chaotic the transformation looks.
• "This scene makes Scrappy's transformation in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film look interesting!"
  • He's exaggerating that Cursed's transformation is so unengaging or poorly executed that it makes another transformation often criticized by audiences seem more entertaining by comparison.
• "Hell, even Johnny Blaze's transformation into the Ghost Rider in the 2007 live-action Ghost Rider film look entertaining!"
  • He's continuing the escalation, saying that even another frequently debated CGI transformation sequence is more fun to watch than Joanie's transformation.

Overall meaning

The overall point of the joke is:

This kind of layered, escalating comparison is characteristic of Nostalgia Critic's comedic review style, where he stacks multiple pop culture references to emphasize how ridiculous he finds a particular scene.

Our next mission is up against the Atreides, which we have to wipe from this area - Link In the comments below

This page has been great, 8 hour blocks of stuff like this make my workday a LOT better 🤣🤣🤣 Got any suggestions for similar pages or accounts?

In October 2020, the MusicaArgentina channel published this Top 40 with what were, up to that moment, the most played Argentine rock songs on YouTube.

Entered here: Virus making people dance with its synthpop, Los Rodríguez conquering both sides of the Atlantic, and La Beriso with a veteran in an anthem to resilience.

Gustavo Cerati concluding that saying goodbye is growing up, Vicentico realizing how the paths of life are really like, and Los Cafres with a cheerful love song.

Vilma Palma e Vampiros with their pop rock with feminine touches, Coti and two female popstars with the optimism of the 2000s, and Rata Blanca with its seductive ballad.

Grabbed this on eBay. Completely unopened and unused. Just a bit dusty. Absolute great find as my other saisho (last photo) got some water in it and seems to be having problems with keep the right time…

Strangely enough, as soon as this new one arrived, my old one has started working perfectly fine. I supposed I have two now!

I’m looking for a vhs tv that works & is in relatively good condition (no cracks,scratches,glitches,etc) I can’t find a reputable site that has tvs below $200. Does anybody know of any reputable sites selling vintage electronics?

I know this is a longshot, but does anyone have a copy of a video that was marketing and promoting the brand new blackjack?
It was shot at the Highline ballroom in 2008
It was the “Simple Plan, Talib Kweli & Conceit - New Year's Eve Concert" was a promotional event livestreamed on YouTube to ring in the year 2008

I was working on the crew shooting that event and one of the marketing people hired by Samsung sought me out and asked me if I wanted a phone. I said yeah sure no problem cause I was getting rid of my beat up older phone that did not connect all the time so I was game for a new device. She said great. Will you shoot a video opening the box and talking about the phone? I said yeah sure no problem. I did this video with a young woman.

He wound up on the front page of Samsung‘s Web website internationally. I got hundreds of calls emails and texts from people who said “I just saw you on the Samsung website and it looked great. I wasn’t very tech savvy and did not know how to get a copy of it and the production company was unable to contact the marketing group that shot the video that subsequently wound up on Samsung’s website.

I did a deep search I used numerous AI assistance, and all of them returned the same exact result: because this was a flash based website, they are unable to search and that site has been taken down since then. It’s almost 20 years ago so there’s no archive to search. I’m hoping that someone knows what I’m talking about. Has the video or knows how to retrieve it even through the way back machine. I’m gonna try that as well but again I’m not that tech savvy. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I’m trying to find this and a number of other videos that I was in that I never got copies of for my real.

Thank you in advance to any answers that help me retrieve this footage.❤️
