Real sugar ftw! 

[Joe Redifer]

Why for a limited time only?  Fuckin' corn industry.  That logo is so much better than whatever the current Pepsi logo happens to be.

[Arkhan Asylum]

My Jones Soda ltd. edition D&D soda pop.

ill post a picture later!  Have to figure out where to display them!

PS: Eldritch Blast is green apple flavored soda.   Very wierd.

[esteban]

What is this world coming to? Real sugar in soda? No high fructose corn syrup?

As you may know, I prefer artificially sweetened soda > corn syrup > refined sugar > raw sugar > dry, shredded coconut.

Why for a limited time only?  Fuckin' corn industry.  That logo is so much better than whatever the current Pepsi logo happens to be.

It's cheaper to manufacture with corn syrup. The blame rests squarely on the Soder Pop industry.

I agree about the logos, though. So wonderful. I wish more companies would go back in their own archives and use commercials, print ads, and billboards from 20, 30, 40 years ago. Advertising usually annoys me, but I find the "old timey" approach less offensive.

I saw some breakfast cereal box designs that had gone "retro"--it was pretty neat.

I drank some pepsi throw back and it almost caused a pepsi throw up.  Science wins over nature yet again, new pepsi only for me.

The last Star Trek film I saw in the theatre was the "Cold War" one (title escapes me at the moment). At the time, I was disappointed, big time. But now, just for a laugh, I think I'd want to see it again. I remember a bunch of very silly scenes, which is amazing, considering I've completely forgotten the contents of other films I've seen around that time.

[Ceti Alpha]

Nice grab este!!    EDIT....Digi rather.....hehe 

But you didn't like the Undiscovered Country (end of Cold War metaphor/mystery)? Wasn't the best TOS movie, but it's usually up there in people's favourites. I recommend watching the "trilogy" first (II, III, and IV). I'm actually craving some Star Trek IV action. I can't remember if Chekov ends up finding those nuuuuuclear wessels. 

[shonenx]

I LOVE THAT MOVIE best part besides "wessels" is when spock knocks out the punk on the bus with the "Ghetto Blaster" and all the people on the bus clap...also kirk is a classic pimp in this film

[hoobs88]

Strider Hiryu for PC Engine

[Ceti Alpha]

I LOVE THAT MOVIE best part besides "wessels" is when spock knocks out the punk on the bus with the "Ghetto Blaster" and all the people on the bus clap...also kirk is a classic pimp in this film

haha. Yeah, that was a classic scene. The guy who played the punk was one of the writers, production managers, or something or other and he also wrote the song that's playing in the boombox. Just a little ST trivia. 

[Tatsujin]

ST IV FTMFEW!!!!

[shonenx]

I still love that song

[Senshi]

Nice pickup hoobs. I've been wanting that game for awhile. Did you outbid me on ebay a couple weeks back?...haha.

[hoobs88]

[TheClash603]

Wives and gfs just don't understand.  Every time I buy something she goes nuts, yet it is perfectly acceptable for her to buy 4 pairs of boots each winter.

Stay strong Sparky...  stay strong.

[shonenx]

my wife told me to buy my Japanese 360 ....only so id stop talking about it   hahhaha

[Tatsujin]

my wife is totally ok with my stuff, as long i keep it clean. when she says sumthing, then i counter her with the every 2 month coiffure sessions she helds, which cost about more than my used junk i bring home in the same period of time.

btw. my coiffure is free and is called hair clipper.

[Sparky]

hahaha... coiffure (hair) love it, adding that into my canadian vocab bai!!

Also my wife is always good with my gaming stuff but since she is prego'd and due in march, sweet jesus everything gets under her skin, including me so i stay back 5 feet and just agree!!!

[Tatsujin]

yeah..when the hormons acting strange, the 5 feet back is best strategy

[TheClash603]

I did not buy them yet, but for fear of reproducing ruining my gaming, condoms are on the to buy list of today.

I demand respectfully request that you post some pics taken with one of those Game Boy cameras (out the window, of the little 'un, self-portrait, or whatever else suits your fancy).

I second that motion.

[shonenx]

Hey tatsujin !! I gotta know , What is the street fighter cd case in the top left corner. And also what is the star wars box? 

[nectarsis]

Star Wars=famicom, Street Fighter 2 (towards BOTTOM left) would be the PCE Hu.

[NecroPhile]

Did you mean top right?  I don't know what that is; Dreamcast, perhaps.
