RustyOperator, in Who in your opinion is the modern day equivalent to Mozart?

Everyone, if everyone could live the lives they want to without starving.

I remember playing a game with my friend as a kid. I think it was around windows 95. You were a Mafioso and you could pick one of three businesses, one was a blow up doll factory. You had to plan heists by buying escape vehicles, such as tandem bikes, cars anong other things. I found it funny that only 2 people could escape in a transporter, because it had only 2 seats. The main goal i think was to steal from the comically large vault of the main mafia boss via submarine. My memory is very hazy, don't remember the name or anything else, but it was super fun.

aulin,

Was it Mob Rule? I didn’t play it enough to remember specifics, but it was from that era and had a distinct, blobby character design.

Slashers (2001) is a fairly unknown horror / comedy from the heyday of video stores. I rented it on a marathon weekend with my old movie crew and it instantly became a favorite. The “Slashers, super-fun!!” theme song is likely problematic at this point but I still find myself and the few remaining folks from that crew saying it at random when we get together.

Outside of that group though, I’ve never met another human that’s seen it. Albeit I’m not usually proselytizing about it like a weirdo… usually. Maybe at next year’s horror-con I’ll start.

Maybe someone here will help me find a song that I listened to with a friend (and danced a lot) during a summer in the late 90s.

It was an electronic dance song which featured a a very raspy male voice singing in Spanish and would ocasionally make the “pull snot from the throat and spit” sound.

My friend and I have been for years trying to find it to no avail… :(

That sound is often termed hocking a loogie. Sorry I can’t help with the more meaty part of your comment.

undeffeined,

Today I learned, had no idea how it was called in English :)

klemptor,

Do you mean the Macarena?

undeffeined,

There’s spitting in the macarena? I don’t recall that.

Stanley Kubrick never made an original film, they are all adaptations of other creators original works.

And yet, they are fantastic films. Your statement is not really an opinion, it’s a fact. My statement is an opinion.

Redward, in Is there an artist so horrible that no matter how hard you try that you cannot separate their art from them?

Well, Mozart was a composer, so I don’t know what parallels you’re drawing from to compare hin to Weird Al or Surfan [sic] Stevens. If we’re talking strictly in terms of best living musicians, Joanna Newsom is probably the best songwriter of the past fifty years, and in my opinion, the second place isn’t even close.

Alpine Universe is pretty damn good, I thought it was a band until I looked them up on Instagram and found out it was one dude that multi-tracks his voice and plays multiple instruments. I watched a few of his production videos and was amazed.

Immercenary for 3DO. Such a strange game.

MDKAOD,

Two additions from the 3do era, PO’ed and Killing Time.

PO’ed was an fps with over engineered level designs and humanoid butt cheeks with legs and teeth that fired green projectiles. The 3do version had terrible controls and the game came out shortly before the console was abandoned. It was later released to ps1 to no fanfare, but had updated controls.

Killing Time was a cross between Doom and 7th Guest. It has fmv sprites to advance the story and is generally pretty advanced for its time. After Panasonic abandoned the 3do, Killing Time was ported to pc. It’s currently on sale at GOG. I might buy it lol
