 I don't know why, but if you grew up in the 90s, you probably know this commercial word for word. It just goes to show that if you repeat something over and over, somebody is going to remember it.

Hot Wheels.

Hot Wheels are one of the biggest parts of our child hood. If you're male, or had a brother, there's a good chance you grew up around tiny cars. And there's a good chance your foot is deformed from stepping on all of them.

 For those of you who were born after 1999, hot wheels are little die-cast cars that are modeled after real cars.. and eventually they ended up looking like monster cars, and cars that weren't real.

 They also had tracks that the cars could race down. I had probably 100 feet of orange track that I would hook together. I'd place the start on the highest point I could reach by standing on my bed, and then let it slope down and I'd race all my cars, set some at the bottom so they'd crash, and set up ramps.

 There was this accessory you could get called "Criss Cross Crash". It had motors in it that shot the cars around one loop of track, then it'd come back around and it would shoot it around the next loop. The whole point was to put a bunch of cars on the track so they would eventually crash into each other. Most of the time I'd get tired of waiting for them to crash, and I'd just set up a straight line of track so it would ram right into it. The heaviest car was the best one to use.

 There's been games and thousands and thousands of toys for years and years, and I doubt there will be a stop to it soon.

Snick.

 If you grew up in the 90s, you should know what Snick is. Snick stands for "Saturday Night Nickelodeon". It had every show that you remember from Nickelodeon:

• Clarissa Explains It All
• The Adventures of Pete and Pete
• The Ren and Stimpy Show
• Are You Afraid of The Dark
• The Secret World of Alex Mack
• All That
• Kenan and Kel
• Kablam!
• Rugrats

 Chances are as you read through that list you're missing your childhood more and more. Snick aired on Saturdays, and back in the 90s, none of us had anything to do on Saturdays except play Super Nintendo and blow things up.

 One of my favorite shows on that list is "Are You Afraid of The Dark". I remember watching it and wishing I had that sand they throw on the fire that make it get all smokey and blow up. The one episode I remember that has stuck with me all these years is the one episode about a brother and sister duo in an abandoned "haunted" shopping mall. The sister is looking for her little brother and she's having to go through all the shops. Close to the end of the episode after she's found him, they're about to leave but the door is locked, and all of a sudden a gigantic pinball starts to roll down the escalators and starts bouncing around and they have to run around and dodge it. When they find out there's no way out, the
roof comes off the ceiling and a huge guy is playing it like a pinball machine and laughing. Then the camera zooms out and they're in a pinball machine that's in an arcade that's in a mall. One of the best aspects about Are You Afraid of The Dark is that not all the stories had happy endings.. sometimes, like the example above.. the people are just screwed. As kids watching these shows, that idea would stick in our heads.

 Snick, and Nickelodeon in general was a breeding ground for child actors that didn't end up running from the law and snorting coke off their alcohol detector bracelets. The always-hot Amanda Bynes has been in tons of movies, and has her own shows. Kenan is on Saturday Night Live and starred in one of my all-time favorite movies - "Goodburger".

Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers I know right now you’re singing the theme song in your head. We can all probably remember getting home from school, running into the house, pop in some bagel bites into the microwave and wait for Power Rangers to come on.

Then it would happen.. the Sabian logo would pop up.. and your pants got tighter. You’d grab all your action figures and sit on the couch like you were sitting in a toy factory that was ran by every super hero. You’d jump on the couch and air the electric guitar with whatever object you could grab in a 3 foot radius. “GO GO POWER RANGEERRRRSS!”

 Now.. the Power Rangers I’m talking about are the original ones.. none of this Power Ranger Lightforce Rescue Squad Zero bullshit. I’m talking about the Red, Black, Yellow, Pink, Green and Blue rangers. They’d suddenly get into trouble and they’d all get together and usually Jason (the red ranger/leader) would yell “IT’S MORPHIN’ TIME!”. Then they’d all hold up their little medallions that had their specific animal on them. Did anyone else feel like whenever you would do roll call at school that it was like you were at a Power Rangers reunion? I bet that shit happens a lot..

  Anyway.. it would go through the whole sequence of them yelling out their specific animal, but looking back at the sequence today.. if you watch carefully you can tell that they don’t have bodies in the “call out” sequence. What the hell happened to their bodies? Green screen. Green screen happened to their bodies. (refer to video). Then after their sequence, they’d appear in their Ranger outfits.. that’s a quick wardrobe change! They’d all flail around for a few seconds before all freezing in some Charlie’s Angels-type pose. Why did they do that? You’d think the Putty (the dumb enemies) would just ransack them as they were jumping up and down putting on those tights.. what are they doing while they’re changing? Watching? That’s kinda sick isn’t it? Let’s teach kids to watch people dress.

 Before this article gets any longer, I want to touch on the topic of the Power Ranger toys. I basically drained my mom’s bank account because I wanted every toy. I remember playing with the giant robots (or “Zords”) and smelling that sweet sweet plastic. They even had a bunch of video games, Box Office Movies, and were even spoofed in the Nintendo game “Super Mario RPG” (see picture). My all-time favorite Power Rangers toy was probably Saba, the white ranger’s sword that had a talking tiger on the bottom of it. First of all, the white ranger was a bad mother fucker. Second, if I can remember correctly, the other rangers had little laser guns..lame. The white ranger had no problem slicing up any bitch that got in his way. Side Note- How come sparks shot out of EVERYthing?

 A long time ago, Disney bought the rights to Power Rangers, and about a month ago, Sabian (the original company) bought the rights back from Disney.. so maybe the power rangers won't be a bunch of wusses now..

 POGS. If you grew up in the 90s, you KNOW what pogs are. Explaining what pogs are to people who were born on or after the year 2000 is like trying to explain to a 70 year old that myspace is not a porn website..or maybe it is?

 The easiest way to describe pogs and the game that surrounds them - Pogs are little circles with art or graphics on them that (at least the way I played) you would place face down on a stack. The amount you place was your wager. Each player has their own "slammer". A slammer is almost like your "weapon" in the game, they're usually made of heavy plastic, but if you were a true pog player, you'd have a metal one.. then the other kid would say that's cheating.. so you throw it in their face and make fun of their collection of barbie pogs. Anyway... You hold the slammer and throw it as hard as you could on top of the stacks. The pogs that turn over and show their graphic would become your pogs. A lot of people would argue that the ones still touching the stack wouldn't count.. but then you throw your slammer at them again and take everything.
 
 If you were a true pog player, you would be beyond taking other people's pogs.. hell no.. you'd MAKE YOUR OWN POGS. I was one of the lucky few to have my own pog making machine. 


 I'd cut out snippits of my Nintendo Power magazines and place them in the machine, press down on the clear container and BAM.. I'd have my own pog.. err.. sort of.. sometimes the damn machine would end up jamming and I'd waste a perfectly good picture of Kirby - because we all know Kirby is the best shape for pogs.


 Pogs hold a place in our hearts even though it was the first taste of raw gambling an 8 year old got. Now if you could excuse me, I have a trip to the Indian Casino to tend to.

I'm not a fan of flying.. I'm not even a fan of heights. There's just way too many things that can go wrong with flying these days.. underwear bombs, wings falling off, magnetic islands, and being stuck on a 12 hour flight with a crying baby - - terrible.

These airports don't put much of a sense of safety in my mind.

 This is literally the craziest website I've ever been on. I really can't even describe it.. it doesn't have a bottom, almost everything is clickable, and almost everything doesn't have a goal. I can't but help to adore the art in it though. This is one to check out and spend some time on! Click on the pictures to visit.

Sandbox

Today for Monday Funday we have a little sandbox game. Now usually the term "Sandbox Game" means that you can do anything and go anywhere.

 Well this applies to that term, and also takes it literally. This "game" is a element simulator, where you have certain materials such as oil, water, sand, fire, plant, water and more.

 Each element reacts with another element. Have a vat of oil? Put some fire to it and watch it burn! Put down some "plant" in the shape of a stick? Pour some water on it to see it grow!

 These games never cease to amaze me. I've seen some where they even simulate air pressure!

 The below image is a little replica of a bomb you see in cartoons, the grey is "wall", the brown is "oil", and the white is "Cera" .. now I'm not sure what Cera is.. but it's flammable, and in this situation it acts as a fuse for the bomb. When the fuse burns into the circle, it ignites the oil - burning it off.

Learn To Fly

  This is one of my all time favorite online games. You start off as a little penguin who has one dream - to fly. You begin the game on a small hill, as you slide down you flop on the water and your flight is quickly over. Over time, you'll unlock achievements, such as fly over 25 feet, or reach a speed of 20 miles per hour. After your first try, you may feel a bit helpless.. but with the technology of penguin engineering you can upgrade the hill, add a glider, upgrade your air resistance and more.

 The ability to upgrade your penguin makes this game super addictive. You'll quickly realize that each upgrade gets you further and further and you soon become addicted to the upgrading system.

Concept- A lone penguin dream of flight and builds rockets and gliders to allow him to reach his goal of soaring high in the sky.

Gameplay- 8.7/10  The controls couldn't get any simpler. Left and right to adjust the pitch, and smashing the space bar fires off your rockets. The more advanced you upgrade your glider, the more information you will receive, such as air resistance, and altitude.

Graphics- 8.5/10  The graphics are colorful and well drawn. Fairly simplistic in design, it show that you don't need perfect shading and millions of colors to pull off a good game.

Audio- 5/10  The audio track can be a bit repetitive, but the game is fairly short; it's able to be finished in under 20 minutes or so. The wooshing sounds as you leave them ramp, and the stock rocket booster sounds are basically all the sound effects in this game. This is the weakest attribute in the entire game, but is somewhat forgivable.

Replay Value- Moderate
