Epic Win: Old School Bubble Hockey

Jan. 31, 2010

old school bubble hockey

Submitted by Kenny O, bubbly:

Every old school Chuck E. Cheese had one of these USA VS USSR. Bubble Hockey tables.

If Air Hockey and Fussball had had a lovechild, they may have called it Bubble Hockey. Or maybe not. They might have gone more traditional and decided on “Jimmy.” Who can say?

Just what every video gamer needed: video game cereal. I wish I could still find this stuff.

Epic Win: Pinball Machines

Jan. 29, 2010

Submitted by Laurens B, coin-operated.

Pinball existed, and was popular, long before video games appeared on the scene. Today, only 1 company still makes pinball machines. These great forms of entertainment still exist in electronic, video game form, but the real deal is pretty much extinct. Such a shame.

Epic Win: Total Recall

Jan. 29, 2010

Submitted by Artest V, who can remember it for you wholesale.

Arnold. Sharon Stone. A screenplay based on a Philip K Dick short story. All the action a person can handle. Sounds like a WIN to me! The film was released in 1990 and performed very well at the box office (and not too horribly with the critics). The director, Paul Verhoeven, went on to direct cinema’s greatest masterpiece, Showgirls. Arnold, of course, went on to star in such films as Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Junior, and Jingle All the Way before eventually becoming “governator” of California.

Epic Win: The Adventures of Pete & Pete

Jan. 28, 2010

Submitted by Gina R, the strongest woman…in the world!

The Adventures of Pete and Pete began as minute-long shorts aired between programs on Nickelodeon in 1989. The shorts were popular, and the rest, as they say, is history. The show ran for three seasons, from 1993 to 1996. It was silly and surreal and was a favorite among most of the people in my age bracket. It also boasted a pretty impressive list of guest stars, including Debbie Harry, Selma Blair, Michael Stipe, Janeane Garofalo, and LL Cool J. The first two seasons are available on DVD, so if this was a childhood favorite, check ‘em out! And tell us about your favorite episodes in the comments.
