Mill Creek rules.

Larry Sanders is extremely referential to Johnny Carson’s show and the relationship between the host and the quisling. There is a lot of The Tonight Show on YouTube these days. I recommend going back and forth between the two to really get it.

Seinfeld entertained me from the beginning...but not much since. I’m quite sick of it and Jerry’s basically a jerk in the show and in real life so I don’t think I’ll ever go back.

Thanks Ted, yeah i would love to watch a lot of these films but macroblocking would make it seem like a download to me and ruin my enjoyment.



Mill Creek for sitcoms I think. There's a lot of sets I want from them now even just to avoid the retarded large and colourful modern Aus rating markings that ruin boxart.



I'd recommend It's Garry Shandling's Show first, it's really the Proto-Seinfeld and did a lot of innovative things. Don't think it was ever shown in Aus or I never saw it but I borrowed and ripped it from our public library a few years ago and that sent me on a quest to see Larry Sanders, which was on TV here but I never saw. I remember playing RPGs until the wee hours with my nerd friends and catching Sieinfeld circa 1992 in Aus at 1AM because no one thought it would be a hit. We thought it was cool.

Yeah the format of LSS seems like it's setup to be dated. I never saw whole episodes of Johnny Carson on TTS, before my time and not sure if it was broadcast in Aus. But I grew up on CBS Letterman through the '90s, always at 1 or 2AM on channel 10 from its beginning here in Aus. I remember when a kid from Sydney who was hunting records or something in NYC, wound up in a sketch walking on the moon on Letterman. Think he answered a payphone somewhere. Who was Carson's sidekick? I still don't know. Googled it, Ed McMahon?? Had NFI...



Fair 'nuff

Filling some gaps:

Highlights include Xmas 2020 release Minako Honda box (filled out the remaining 4 albums I needed plus a blu ray with a lot of previously VHS only stuff, Yuki Saito box 1 and 2 (highly recommended, proper CD cases and detailed booklet with single and album release dates) and Shoujo Tai 3 disc collection (2017) Nice. Tomita Yuko box is extremely well done. 45 repro sleeves for each single, with plastic slipcase for each title. Then a mini LD (DVD) of her LD/VHS release. So excellent!

Got a Dell Trinitron monitor from a coworker! This is the first CRT display of any kind I've had since I was maybe 16 or so. Appears to be fine working order; now I'm just waiting on a no-lag HDMI to VGA converter and some speakers and I'll be back to gaming the way God intended.

I'm planning to use a RetroTINK-2X Pro to line-double old consoles for it, but since I'm waiting on the HDMI-to-VGA I tested it with a DVDO iScan Pro for line-doubling and SLG3000 scanline generator that I had sitting around from when I first noticed that you can't just plug a PS1 into an LCD TV and have it look like anything but junk. Pending some tweaking, I'm really happy with this scanline look, though I may just go with line-doubling when I can use the RetroTINK (the iScan Pro has some weird artifacts on 240p sources unless you mask them with black lines). But what I'm especially looking forward to is getting a computer hooked up to it so I can get some 320x200 DOS games looking right again.

(My cell phone camera doesn't well represent how the image actually looks, naturally, especially the scanlines. They are super clean, and with S-Video the text looks very pleasing.)


My word, this has been a damn good day. The icing on the cake is that I didn't pay Retro Gamer prices for a PVM/BVM; in fact it would have been free if my conscience hadn't demanded I pay my coworker at least something.

All my crt monitors aside from the ones I have from old prebuilts were like $5 or free. The best one I have was free on CL (Lacie Electron Blue IV).

I wish I keep my Sony but that was heavy and I couldn't move it when I was in rush from Texas back to KY that time. Its lucky I have any of my stuff left now if I can go and get my Criterions and a few other things I'll be happier for awhile longer until I get the rest.

The Laserdisc equivalent of Knave, Razzle and Fiesta. Alas not published by Paul Raymond.

His site was up for the longest time and you could get some great info on different versions.
I believe the one that I can remember or two now are Diehard and Planet of the Apes, the first fox widescreen he said were shifted but the later were
centered.

Always had great reviews on the discs and the format.

Had a quick flip through. It's put together really well. I've already spotted a couple of things to add to my wishlist!

The book is very similar to Spinegrinder, my favourite Bible, copies of which should be in every hotel room worldwide!

Bought a bunch of TCG holders for ring binders and boy these are really sh!t quality. One of them had half the holes ripped apart just from me trying to pull the darn things apart from each other!

...Trading Card Game...maybe?

I got a binder and holders a while back that are superb quality. I will dig them out to find the brand name for you.

I had to get a special size pages for myfull set of baseball cards with mini vinyl records on them. Baseball pre-PED's, a fine sport!

Though the tale of Pete Rose climbing in the air ducts to fetch his confiscated corked bat is good too. And the legendary Dock Ellis pitching a perfect game while off his face on LSD is a belter too I guess!

Yeah, trading cards. I bought a binder full of old Star Trek TNG cards waaaaaay back in the 90s and I've used the empty ones over the years but the space has finally ran out.

Unfortunately these new ones are too big for that ring binder as well so now I have to buy one of those, too!

I've shown the small Asuka plugsuit not the other 3
this will be it for awhile. I might in 2 or 3 weeks get my NERV box with the rest of them.

also bought a plastic 4 tier shelf

also got the last of my Ikea furniture today and put it together.

They fit all kinds of cards so I wasn’t sure why you were specifying.

I was big into that game when it came out. About a year ago I bought a case of the main set (third printing, I think) for like $7.50 or something. It was a fun night of opening packs, quite a few once-valuable stuff now totally worthless. I think I have four Troi now...

Nah, these aren't from the card game, these are just regular trading cards like you'd get from Skybox or Upper Deck. They have really truncated episode synopsis on the back with three cards per episode.

got this KOTOBUKIYA HoiHoi-san 2-in-1 alternate colors set coming along sometime in April, to join the standard edition set i already have;

Not exactly tat but I got one of these today. I can finally go back to watching Laserdiscs in the evenings!......except it's Opening Day and the Mets are playing... LGM!
