LordKuruku: Am I really that old? Am I really so old that somebody feels they have to link to Wikipedia to make sure somebody understands a Popeye reference, for a character that exists solely as a running gag? :/

Nah, the quote was more for the International audience here, who might not be in on the gag.

As for the rest of it, it's pretty much spot on. Had boomerang on my cable for a few months before they figured out it wasn't supposed to be free. Didn't work with the DVR, though, 'cause Boomerang (Cartoon Network) cannot be arsed to make an appropriate show schedule.

Back in my day, they actually played music on that MTV station that people get their reality drama and ride pimping from. Don't get me started on that guy that uses display crappers for his bathroom needs.

LordKuruku: if you try to watch TV with an antenna, you just get static
Be alarmed if you hear voices of your missing daughter in the static. Also, be sure not to put freaky looking clowns next to your son's bed.

LordKuruku: ...oh, god. I really AM that old. I like watching things that are good and not mind-numbingly terrible.
I recommend Gurren Lagann or 天元突破グレンラガン for what ails ya. Since you're seemingly interested in animation that doesn't suck. But it is Japanese. There is character building, so be warned. Recommend the non-SciFi version if possible (err, SyFy now - blecch!)

I'm a couple decades old, used to watch Popeye when I was a young lad, but had entirely forgotten about that character until PuncushionMan linked to that page. Remember, with age also comes greater forgetfulness! Sometimes it's hard to recall data, when you have so much of it stored away! ~_^

GameRager: You FORGOT WIMPY?!? Next you'll tell me you forgot the little rascals or little orphan annie or little john! :eek:
I remember them, but in all seriousness, I didn't watch much Popeye, rascals or orphan annie, as we had no cable TV until I was in my teens. We barely picked up anything on the antenna. I mostly got to watch Sesame Street, CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Company) programming, Walt Disney, and miscellaneous stuff aired at 6 in the morning. (Rocket Robin Hood, Spider-Man (60s version), The Mighty Hercules, and other similar shows.)
Haha, didn't want to buy a single game in this pack, but then changed my mind and thought "what the heck."

which games did you get? :)
Went ahead and bought all the games last-minute. For GOG.com, 50% is the best price to look for, and while I'm not too sure if I'll like Ishar and Robinson's, I'll take a chance at $3 each (which is one buck each for each game in those two combined).

Besides, when backing up everything, I saw three of the four games/game packs have soundtracks. Only props are above soundtracks in game bonuses I'm a whore for.

Roman5: which games did you get? :)
All of them actually :) I once played Deus and didn't really like it, but the pack was ~60c cheaper with it (50% against 30%), so I got that too.

Not to mention Raptor is a masterpiece of my childhood. I'm just a bit over 20 now and remember playing Raptor when I was like 7 or 8. It was too hard for me back then, so I just used to load my dad's saves - he had already finished the game, so he had all the weapons and loads of money :)
Also, I have heard only good things about Gobliiins, so I threw them in too now.
Ishar's graphics looks nice, needless to say I've always wanted to get into some RPG, but have always been to lazy, haha.

pretty much mostly the same for me

all of the games in this pack are games that I wanted to buy some time ago or wanted to just try out and play :)
