  1. Remember when Dr. Pepper offered a free can of their soda to everyone in America (except Slash) when Axl Rose released his Chinese Democracy CD? Well, something similar is happening today at Papa John's. John Schnatter sold his 1971 1/2 Camaro 26 years ago to finance his fledgling pizza chain. After over a decade of searching (including enlisting a former FBI agent), Schnatter was reunited with his Camaro; and to celebrate, all Camaro owners in the US get free pizzas.

  2. The original Neo-Geo cartridge system was nothing short of a masterpiece. All the fighting games were better than their arcade counterparts and the joystick controllers were built rock-solid. Unfortunately, the Neo-Geo CD was utter garbage. It only displayed a fraction of the colors of the original and the CD only read at 1x.
  3. I don't know if this is true, but I was told that one of the reasons Beta failed was that Sony refused to license the format to the porno industry, as they had full backing by Disney at the time.
  4. Technically, I'd put Zoids on this list, as it's been screwed over in the US over the past 20+ years.
  5. Ever wondered what NASCAR roadkill was like? NASCAR Driver Hits Coyote at 190 mph (WARNING: Graphic Images!)
  6. Rather than create a new thread, I thought I'd park my loot here. For Christmas last year, I got this Iron Maiden 18" Cyborg Eddie by NECA Toys. I'm not too keen on collecting music-related merchandise, but at $30, I just couldn't pass on this one.
  7. Last year, my cousin gave me a PalmOne. Then I realized that it not only had problems saving addresses, its only means of PC linkup was a 9-pin serial cable. So I gave the dinosaur back to my cousin.
  8. Actually, only America doesn't like Nokia. If you travel to the rest of the world, almost everyone uses Nokia. As far as cell phones go, Motorola seems to be a dying breed, and it's been like that since they finally put their overrated RAZR to rest.
  9. I always thought LD had better picture quality than DVD, and I still do. And for some reason, Independence Day on LD is a lot louder and crisper than the DVD version.
  10. That sounds so much like the DiVX garbage Circuit City sold back in 1999. Look what that got them. Oh yeah, that's right! Circuit City went under already.
  11. I bought my Sega Dreamcast on its launch date of 9/9/99. Yes, it was a hit at first. Then, after just two years, Sega pulled out of the home system industry and put the DC on final clearance. On top of that, I also bought the keyboard, two VMUs and a fishing rod controller for it.
  12. Such an awesome toy line that never got any respect from the general public.
  13. Introduced last week at the Pebble Beach Concours dElegance, the Devon GTX is touted to be the next American supercar. The GTX is powered by the Dodge Viper's 8.4 liter V10, which generates 650 bhp. Only 36 units will be made at $500,000 each, with an optional racing package for $25,000 extra. 2010 Devon GTX
  14. Coming to a Walmart near you on October 6: Sonic Boom - KISS' first studio album in over a decade. KISS - "Modern Day Delilah"
  15. I wouldn't be surprised if it really is a modified Exige. After all, Lotus licenses its car designs to other companies such as Dodge (the Circuit EV, based on the Lotus Evora) and Rinspeed (the ridiculous sQuba, based on the Elise).
  16. I only know "Doctor Doctor", mainly because Iron Maiden plays it before every show.
  17. All the Iron Maiden albums released between 1982 and 1988 are the cream of the crop, but if I were to choose just one, it would be Powerslave, especially with their 13-minute epic "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". Over the years, I've become a bigger fan of Iron Maiden after making friends with a tribute band based in L.A. The Iron Maidens (World's Only Female Tribute to Iron Maiden) There's certainly a difference between Heavy Metal and Hair Metal. Hair Metal relies mainly on image - long hair sprayed with cans of Aqua Net, heavy use of makeup and mascara, spandex pants, etc. Their songs focus mainly on decadence - partying all night and getting laid. Iron Maiden, on the other hand, never did songs about mile-high clubs and booze. Their songs vary from horror to sci-fi to world history. Just because they wore spandex back in the 80s doesn't mean they were a Hair Metal band.
  18. IG-PP01 Mini-Masterpiece Optimus Prime - Coming November 2009 (hopefully)
  19. With the next wave of Animated toys coming up, has anyone noticed that it consists mostly of characters that made very minor appearances on the show? How about the more prominent characters that don't have figures yet? Or the ones that deserve better figures? Here's my Animated wish list: Deluxe Class Bumblebee (Cybertron Mode) Dirt Boss Elita One Perceptor Prowl (Cybertron Mode) Rattrap Sentinel Prime (Cybertron Mode) Wasp (Cybertron Mode) Yoketron Voyager Class Cyclonus Mixmaster Scrapper Sentinel Prime (perhaps with a transforming Headmaster) Slipstream Starscream (Cybertron Mode) Leader Class Bulkhead (Cybertron Mode) Lugnut (Voyager version is an insult to the character) Ultra Magnus (Powered Convoy colors) Supreme Class Omega Supreme In addition, Hasbro should re-release Deluxe Ratchet with his magnets instead of random tools. I'm not gonna spend $30 for the . And a Leader Class Bulkhead with a wrecking ball (not the lame buzzsaw gimmick) would be great.
