Was this some sort of common occurrence? I also buried a Palpatine figure back in the ’80s. I did not give that treatment to any other Star Wars toy.

Well, now I feel like an idiot for giving up on covering the worldwide GB library. This game was about two episodes away!

This. Is my pride and joy. A gift for my dad, who played Zork with me when I was a kid, and with his dad when he was a kid. I designed this pattern myself and had a great time puzzling out how to hide the glow in the dark letters!

Remember, if it's been at least 2 months since your last covid vaccine (whatever it was), and you are over 18, you qualify for the new covid bivalent booster. This booster specifically targets Omicron B.A.4 and B.A.5., which are the dominant strains in the US, and account for over 98% of new covid infections.

As of a couple days ago, this was authorized for emergency use in the US. Your local vaccination place should be getting these in stock within a week or two.

Covid is still a threat. Get vaccinated if you can.

This is actually a fascinating image. I’ve seen people suck in their gut many times, but never their vagina.

i wonder if it’s time for a cultural reappraisal of rob liefeld’s art. maybe we were all just too quick to judge a guy for daring to have a unique stylized take that focused on exaggeration and action. *actually looks at some of his art again* jesus CHRIST never mind

In case you didn’t realize how big Garfield was in the ’80s, here’s a sword with Garfield’s stripes.

We’re like one virus mutation away from gas-masking in public and this guy makes me realize it will finally be possible for us to legitimately pull off the steampunk look once it does

26-year-old Japanese prop stylist Masu - who is a member of the retro fashion appreciation group The Cats Meow Tokyo - on the street in Harajuku wearing a bespoke suit from Four Buttons Japan with a shirt custom made from a 1930s/1940s pattern, a retro hat, umbrella by Ramuda Ichihara 1946, and dress shoes.

We spend every 4th of July at Wrightsville Beach and I can confirm the image is legitimate

Madly, wildly in love with the guy who’s going viral by finding clips of beautiful areas of Europe and then posting them while claiming that they’re from a boring part of North Carolina

I like these designs, but I cannot support the way Princess Peach is the only character who doesn’t appear in her own silhouette. 

Silhouette designs used for a variety of officially licensed 2015 Super Mario merchandise.

Phantasy Star Online is real, and powerful.

Japanese soundcloud rappers Cyber Cider and Cyber Milk Chan on the street in Harajuku wearing fashion designed by 17-year-old Japanese fashion high school student Kyoppe. Their group is called Pachico’s Computer. It started to rain in the middle of shooting these street snaps. Full Looks

This post is factually correct, but I would like to note that the ending shot, in which the Enterprise rides off into the sunset, elevates the entire hour of television to Actual Art.

a fistful of datas is a really good episode

I just finished watching through Kimagure Orange Road TV for the first time yesterday, and this is the one opening credits scene I have ever refused to skip. It’s tremendous.

Interesting trivia: The third opening of Kimagure Orange Road shocked many animation otaku at the time of its release. In addition to being one long continuous take, it features several rotating shots, something very difficult and time-consuming to render via hand-drawn animation. This level of effort was unheard of for a weekly television series in 1988, and even today, it’s considered one of the more technically laborious anime openings ever made.

It’s easy to forget how many Kunio-kun games they made back in the ’80s, so seeing them all laid out like this is impressive.

“Perhaps this IS a good day to covertly distribute gifts to well-behaved juveniles.”

Disappointed that we never got a Star Trek TNG episode where they went back in time and Worf ended up accidentally becoming St Nicholas

This is absolutely hilarious.

Roger Dean in Yu Yu Hakusho

While watching episode 98, that scene when Yusuke, Hokushin and the others were running toward Raizen’s country, I remembered these Makai landscapes were inspired by Roger Dean artwork. They were also used in YES and Anderson Bruford Wakeman Howe album covers:

1. Yes - Yessongs (1973);

2. Yes - Relayer (1974);

3. ABWH - An Evening of Yes Music Plus (1993);

4.  ABWH - Blue Desert (1989);

5. Yes - Union (1991)

Never gets old!
