Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Duke.Togo on August 16, 2015, 08:44:59 PM Dude, Ninja Warriors is so awesome! The SNES port wasn't even close. Sincerely, Roll n' Slice Seriously. This is all you need to know: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmFPA7vcRmc Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: singlebanana on August 16, 2015, 09:14:55 PM I also want to say that I greatly appreciate the shout out. I know people here appreciate the work I do and many of them have told me at different times and in their own way. Still, that was really nice to hear. I love this place, I love the members, and I'm greatly looking forward to hanging out with good friends in October. :)
Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Duke.Togo on August 16, 2015, 10:17:22 PM Really glad to have you as acting EIC Rich. Even when you can't pronounce Ys. :p
Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Addicted on August 17, 2015, 03:03:28 PM Poor Bill and his Spiderman.... hopefully one day you will find a copy.
Ninja Warriors is a good choice Duke! If you ever get a chance play Dragon Ball Z VR VS. It reminds me a lot of Punch-Out. Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Duke.Togo on August 17, 2015, 07:13:18 PM They made a decent Dragonball Z game??
Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Addicted on August 18, 2015, 07:12:50 AM @Duke: I'm as surprised as you but yes.
RetroWorld Expo sounds great! I wish I could go. :-\ Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Zagnorch on August 18, 2015, 03:41:06 PM I'm sorry, guys, but... you thought Perfect Strangers was a good show? Seriously? Now, don't get me wrong: I used to watch it on a semi-regular basis myself when it first aired, and I found it somewhat enjoyable at the time. But then I watched a sampler DVD with a couple episodes on it a few years back... and found myself downright mortified that I'd wasted my life watching such soul-crushingly unfunny crapola. I beg you, people, for your dignity-- any, your sanity: do NOT take Bil & Duke's advice to watch reruns of the show on YouTube! Or anywhere else for that matter. :(
BTW the only other thing I saw Bronson Pinchot in was this horrible comedy movie called Second Sight, starring John Larroquette. You know, the horndog D.A. from Night Court, AKA a 1980s sitcom that's actually bearable to watch? :P BTW Fisher Stevens is the name of "that guy" from Short Circuit. God, it's sad that I remember that name off the top of my head. And as much as I hate kids, allowing them to watch Full House should be considered a form of child abuse. Though not as egregious as letting them watch Saved by the Bell... Speaking of Alanis Morisette: she did a appear for a season or two on one my all-time fave childhood shows, You Can't Do That on Television! If you're wondering where Nickelodeon's signature green slime came from, it was from this cheesy Canadian import... Other than that... um, great work on the OTC Games infomercial there, guys. Pushed your acting chops to the limit there. ;) Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Duke.Togo on August 18, 2015, 04:33:35 PM I'm sorry, guys, but... you thought Perfect Strangers was a good show?

I watched this show so much as a kid... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG3x2Vn6V4k As did I. It was the main reason I tuned into Nick during the 80s. The infamous "Don't encourage your mother/father" catchphrase became a staple bit of banter in my own household for many years thanks to that show... I recall a few years after YCDTOTV ended, a few of the show's alums were on some other dumb Nick sketch-comedy show-thingy with the aforementioned Dave Coulier.

Awesome show which I wish would be on Amazon prime and on DVD! Alanis was on for 1 season. As a side note, tying Full House together with YCCDTOTV, supposedly You Oughta Know was written about Dave Coulier who played Joey on Full House.

Was this on Nick? I don't recall this.

Was this on Nick? I don't recall this. Might have been Turkey TV. In any case, it's kinda sad that broadcast rights and copyright issues have kept us from getting a proper release of YCDTOTV on Blu-Ray up to the present day. YouTube is pretty much the only place you can catch episodes originally recorded on VHS tape, most likely in SLP/EP mode for that extra-low-res tracky look we kids of the 80s all know and love. ANYway, switching topics to Bil's in-laws' substitute curses: I use a few of my own, including "son of a biscuit-eater," and "oh, fudge-nuts." Something to think about while you're singing along to AC/DC's "Highway to Heck." :P Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: shaggy on August 20, 2015, 07:18:38 AM I have never sold any of my games except for once when I was a kid. Kings Knight complete for NES for $5. I have never traded a game that wasn't a double. I've kept all my games from when I was a kid, all complete in box (including NES & SNES). Once I get my crap from my parents, I will post my treasure trove of "small scores" (which really aren't small score). I could never get myself to throw those NES & SNES boxes away and now I'm glad I didn't.

As a side note, tying Full House together with YCCDTOTV, supposedly You Oughta Know was written about Dave Coulier who played Joey on Full House. I guess I should listen to more of the podcast before I state something as it was revealed that Alanis and Dave dated. On another note, I like the TV talk. Brings back nostalgia and something different from video games. Perfect Strangers I never really watched. Full House I did and still do as it is on Nick at night. I'm actually excited about Fuller House except for the fact that it will be Netflix only. :( Growing Pains I didn't watch much. Family Matters I watched and could you believe that Erkle was only supposed to be on for one episode but than the show revolved around him. Crazy! There are other shows I watch I could name but they were not part of TGIF as far I know. Man, back than those blocks were awesome. You don't get them nowadays. I tell you, you younger guys missed out. The 80's and 90's had great TV, cartoons, and video games. Remember ALF and Mr. Belvedere? Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: shaggy on August 21, 2015, 02:52:49 PM Oh my goodness, I have been slighted by the Podcast God. My question didn't get asked! :toilet:

[img width=330 height=228]http://media.giphy.com/media/U85Gro5AbxARO/giphy.gif[/img] My kids love Full House and it's pretty wholesome and teaches good lessons. However, some of the later episodes are a bit more controversial, so be warned. Speaking of traumatizing, I'm still reeling from my childhood Jessie Spano disappointment.........

At least I had an excuse to use the :toilet: I remember that Saved By the Bell. Back than it was a big deal. I'm so excited, I'm so excited, I'm so excited. Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Duke.Togo on August 21, 2015, 07:26:48 PM Sorry Shags, that question got buried in my message box here and I just didn't go back far enough.
Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: shaggy on August 21, 2015, 09:21:31 PM Sorry Shags, that question got buried in my message box here and I just didn't go back far enough. Hey, no problem. I figured that. You know I have to give you crap about it. Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: bombatomba on August 24, 2015, 05:05:47 AM Fisher Stevens? He played in a ton of stuff outside of the Short Circuit series. He was Vinny the greaser in My Science Project (his greatest role, IMHO), a veritable fountain of one-liners and old movie/TV quotes. He played The Plague in Hackers (his most notorious role). He also... He was in an episode of Friends, once. And... Crap. I think you guys are right.
Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Duke.Togo on August 24, 2015, 06:20:04 PM For some reason I always get him confused with Shadoe Stevens.
Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Zagnorch on August 25, 2015, 11:52:52 PM For some reason I always get him confused with Shadoe Stevens. No way I could ever mistake one for the other, seeing as how Shadoe Stevens first got noticed doing those ridiculous "Fred Rated" commercials for the west coast-based Federated Electronics chain back in the day: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9N8AzoDzQhM Although Federated was based primarily in Southern California, the local independent stations aired a few of these from time to time. And now there are several sub-thirty-somethings who just read the previous sentence, and are wondering what the hell an "independent station" is... ANYway, starting at 2:58 on the video above is the commercial that got Mel Gibson so pissed in Lethal Weapon, he threw a bottle at his TV. Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Duke.Togo on August 26, 2015, 12:18:50 AM I have no idea what I just watched. I just thought he was the center square guy.
Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: Zagnorch on August 26, 2015, 10:59:09 AM I have no idea what I just watched. I just thought he was the center square guy. I just hope they didn't inspire you to chuck beer bottles at your computer monitor. :P BTW he was the primary creator and producer of those commercials. They helped get his foot in the showbiz door... and we're all the better for it. Title: Re: RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 34 Post by: MetalFRO on August 28, 2015, 04:10:31 PM I watched this show so much as a kid... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FG3x2Vn6V4k Yes! I love that show, and as mentioned, it's too bad about all the roadblocks preventing a wide-spread release of the show to streaming services and/or physical release. I'd love to go and watch that show again. "Daaaaawwwwww, IIIIIIIII heard that!" ANYway, switching topics to Bil's in-laws' substitute curses: I use a few of my own, including "son of a biscuit-eater," and "oh, fudge-nuts." Something to think about while you're singing along to AC/DC's "Highway to Heck." :P LOL, sometimes I use "biscuits and gravy" or "forks and knives". My friend/coworker uses "Son of a biscuit-eating bulldog" ;D My kids love Full House and it's pretty wholesome and teaches good lessons. However, some of the later episodes are a bit more controversial, so be warned. Speaking of traumatizing, I'm still reeling from my childhood Jessie Spano disappointment.........

[img width=400 height=193]https://elaineandjosh.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/3581is8.gif[/img] Oh, and thanks for fielding my sell-off/rarity question, guys!
