    Released in 1989, Friday the 13th for the Nintendo Entertainment System cast you as a camp counselors who had to somehow destroy an oddly blue-and-purple Jason Voorhees..

    It was a game-changer for me as a kid (pun intended)..

    I finally figured out lighting all of the fire places mattered, and finding the pitch fork in the third level was the key to destroying Jason. But … it took years of frustration to get there.

    This game is often lampooned.. but seriously, it remains in my heart one of the best. I ever fire up the old Nintendo I have now and then just to play when the craving hits hard.

    Sunday night nostalgia

    Everything about this video is amazing, nostalgic, and ASMR.. McDonalds in 1984!

    Smoking!
    Low prices!
    Everyone seemingly well-mannered and happy..?

    Those times were one of a kind.

    Video of customer’s eating and smoking at a McDonalds location in Florida. Footage of customer’s ordering food and employee’s preparing orders. This video last around 10 minutes.

    It is nostalgia overload. You may have to take several breaks..

    Enjoy.

  • Fright Night. Nostalgia Night.

    Fright Night. Nostalgia Night.

    A friend of mine reminded me tonight about this great movie from the 1980s.. he said he was catching a viewing of it this Friday night. FRIGHT NIGHT was a special kind of horror–and his message reminded me of the spectacular VHS cover that always caught my eye in my local video store back in the day..

    Were these times simpler as we all think they were? Or were we just blinded..

    Those who read this post and say “the old man is talking about VHS movies again” just will not comprehend the time.. the idea of not scrolling through on a screen but checking to see if the little yellow card was still rubber banded to the back of the movie in the store…

    Sure, modern times are great. Easy.. Any movie you want at your fingertips.

    But that quest.. that hunt.. that time when a movie was not there.. when you had to wait until it was returned.. they were kind of.. simpler?
