Remembering how extremely cool the opening and ending for Sorcerer Hunters are and thinking I should revisit that show...

Heathcliff comes a-walkin' down the sidewalk, about to pass right under two birds who are sitting on a telephone wire. One of the birds says "Prayer really does work."

Probably Lunar: Dragon Song for the Nintendo DS.

I have such nostalgia for the earlier Lunar games and that's the only reason I stuck with that miserable game.

What's the worst game you finished/rolled credits on?

(games media folks, it can't be something you were assigned to review; this has to be something you subjected yourself to of your own free will)

It's fun seeing Evangelion stuff with Nights stuff!

Also "Nights" not stylized into "NiGHTS" in the background!?

Sega's booth at the show also had some awesome NiGHTS plushies there that I would kill to have! Images: Sega Magazine.

Hey, here's a TEN FOOT Doritos/Pepsi "Monster Bash" banner from the early '90s. This would've hung in the long front window of a supermarket, or maybe on the side of a building. It's absolutely ENORMOUS. (Take note of the Invisible Man, who was the Halloween mascot for Crystal Pepsi, of course!)

Capcom had to go with Kingpin in the released version of the game as the alternative was simply too powerful

I really ought to figure out setting up/using a Domesday Duplicator to back up my rare laserdiscs.

The world needs a pristine capture of Pop Chaser!

The more reasonable option: sell it. I could probably make a little profit.

But... I want that HALLOWEEN ENERGY.

Last year at an estate sale, I picked up a Ben Cooper Magilla Gorilla costume, but they had mistakenly switched boxes for a devil costume they had sold earlier in the day.

...I'm embarrassingly tempted to buy a 1960s devil costume minus-box and have that COMPLETE.

Day 12: Strychnine by The Sonics

I suspect folks are more familiar with the cover by The Cramps, but the original is extremely good. Maybe better. (IMO any song The Cramps covered is automatically granted "Halloween music" status)

They just used the Japanese sleves but pasted an English translation over the back cover (it's liftable from the bottom, so you can seethe glorious Nihongo)

It's wild to me that Friday the 13th continues to have the cultural recognition that it does. I think those movies are kind of fun, but they're certainly not good, creative, or scary. And there hasn't been a movie in the franchise for over 15 years!
