A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Seconded, who here's been working with Second Sight, I know at least two of us have, myself not included, but maybe someone involved (I think Redstar and Phlibbit are the main two communicating with Second Sight?) could pitch the HD trailer idea to them? That would be good for business.

Happy 54th birthday to Super Mario Bros. co-writer Ed Solomon!

Here we are, again-- thirteen years after the bleak metamorphosis which transformed the world into a chaotic mess of technology and unfeeling, apathetic people satisfied with mediocrity. In the world I wish I could see, there was no 9/11, no rush into this bastardized technology, these unneeded wars...

Robin Williams, star of Good Will Hunting, Aladdin and Hook has died at 63.

There are no words.

Happy birthday to my fellow moderator, Roareye, who turns 28, today.

Can I just, re-iterate this? Is there a way to do this that I'm somehow missing? I'm pretty observant with this stuff but after five years of moderating and posting and... whatever, I just have no idea how to change it. So, once again, is there a way?

Just to add on Region information. The Blu-Ray region of the UK is Region B. If this is like the DVD, it will likely be region locked too, which means the SMB Movie Blu-Ray will be Region B. Region B includes: United Kingdom, Western Europe, Africa, South-West Asia ( not including Japan ), Middle E...

It's all coming together. I mean, come on. If they can restore Once Upon a Time in America to its entirety after three decades , then not only is Super Mario Bros. restorable, but it's guaranteed that the footage in question is safely tucked away somewhere. People keep saying it's with Disney, which...

Okay, I know I'm starting to sound like a broken record but 2014 is proving to be a good year for restored footage from old movies and I can't keep stressing this enough. First the powers that be discovered most of if not all of the missing footage from It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World , then they re...

Eh, it could go either way.

@UE5K: I think that's the character he (Michael Keaton's character) played in the movie within the movie, though I'm not sure. I was never a big fan of the Birdman cartoon from the 60s, I was always a Space Ghost guy.

I found another movie that looks good this year!

Birdman stars Michael Keaton playing a washed up comedian who once played an 'iconic superhero' in the 1980s and is trying to get back in showbiz... it looks awesome!

Considering the brief delay in the Blu-Ray's release and the circumstances-- do you have any word on that?

^Shigeru Miyamoto was never a CEO at Nintendo. You probably had him confused with someone else. Well, you know what I mean-- he was the guy who was in charge of a lot of stuff there for a very long time, including aiding the creation of the Mario character in a huge way. Let's not argue semantics. ...

Damn good article. Damn good post. Serum approves.

It is odd that the movie is more popular everywhere other than the States. Even former Nintendo CEO Shigeru Miyamoto has gone on record as being a fan of our favorite film!

Looks like the box art is up on Second Sight's website!

Tested a few more games, last night, everything works great with it! I popped in Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge on the NES, both worked perfectly, as did the original NES versions of Battletoads and Double Dragon. I'm going to try Doom on the SNES and Super Mario World pretty soon.

Well, it came in the mail, today! I gotta say, it's pretty neat, so far! I updated the firmware on it and it seems to be running everything just fine. To answer Redstar's question regarding the "HD" I don't know if I'd call it "HD" but it definitely presents games from far older ...

It should be coming in the mail today or tomorrow, I'll let everyone know how it works.

@UE5K You need to use an SD card to save certain games, that problem was fixed with a firmware update.

http://i60.tinypic.com/1zwf1jq.png Has anyone heard of the Hyperkin RetroN 5 ? It was a Christmas present I got a preorder for last year, but it kept getting delayed and mine is finally shipping today... it's a sort of "jukebox" system, it plays 10 systems, including: NES SNES Sega Genesi...

Doom IV !!! It's happening!

Can't be any worse than Doom 3. But still...

I've been playing Doom since the day it came out, October 21, 1993.

Maybe it's personal bias, but Mario seems to have a timeless quality to it, whereas Sonic has this... outdated feeling. Like, I look at it and it makes me think like I'm looking at an old picture of me and saying: "Did I really have that haircut in 2001?" As for the Smurfs thing, I don't k...

I've never really seen the appeal in Sonic the Hedgehog. Also, they made a movie out of it?

0bRH_dVye7A Okay, so check this out. Lawnmower Man 2: Jobe's War is a movie from 1996, a sequel to a movie based loosely on a Stephen King story that starred Jeff Fahey ( Psycho III , Grindhouse ( Planet Terror segment)) and Pierce Brosnan of 1990s era James Bond 007 fame. This sequel features the ...

Yeah, also I think there should be a memorial somewhere on the Blu-Ray honoring Bob Hoskins, Dennis Hopper and Terry Runtè.

They just released the poster and "title" it's exactly what you expect-- the Superman symbol in the middle of Batfleck's symbol and a convoluted title with an unnecessary colon. It's Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice. That is way too many words, it should just be Batman Versus Superman ,...

Just gonna leave this here...

I just have to aplogize here, i went to hit quote but ended up hitting edit button on the last post. Erasing Serums post on accident. My bad bro. You guys should just remove my moderator thing, I don't do anything really. I hate that every time I go to click quote I always hit the edit rather than ...

That's all well and good...except for the fact that Kevin Smith has admitted that he had no involvement writing Good Will Hunting...several times. That doesn't mean it's true. Kevin Smith is so in love with Affleck that he wanted to make it look like the guy was competent enough to win an Oscar-- w...

Who was it that insisted the "Producer's Cut" of Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers would never be seen? Well, it's being released on Blu-Ray on September 23rd. I'd say we're getting closer and closer, if even only by millimeters to people discovering the rest of the missing footage f...

Thank you, KoopaBro64. You know, a lot of people give Joel Schumacher a lot of criticism based solely on 1997's Batman & Robin. They'll go on and on about what a bad Batman George Clooney was and how cheesy and homoerotic it could be at times (which if that sort of thing is making you uncomforta...

...that's a very good question. I always assumed Boos were born ghosts-- like, they're a race of ghosts, born and bred to be ghosts.

Yeeeeeah. Affleck will be a fine Batman. No problems here. You're trying to instigate me, aren't you? Ben Affleck is an incompetent, stony, backwards acting school reject whose only success stems from a 1997 Kevin Smith movie because the director of that film had a crush on him and decided to use h...

Jesse Eisenberg as Lex Luthor I'll let slide-- I can actually see that working, Superman is a big, strong dude who everybody loves and Jesse Eisenberg is a little wimpy dude who was probably picked on in high school so I think he could play the kind of character who'd rise to such success with the s...

I've noticed some people (Most noticeably Redstar) have custom user ranks-- as opposed to the typical post-count ranks (from "Loyal, Lethal and Stupid" to "No Leak Too Small") that many of us have. Perhaps we should implement a way to 'write-in' our own custom user ranks?

It really didn't seem that simple, to me. It felt like they were trying to cram in as many references to every single character from comics that had been written almost seventy years prior in an attempt to please everyone, inadvertently creating a complex mishmash of a story that even I couldn't mak...

The movie definitely is a good looking film, I'll give it that... the sets, the makeup and the practical effects are all amazing. But I think it was as soon as that precocious little kid invades the movie that I completely lost track of the story.

I saw the movie, it was a little too... esoteric for me.

Let me just reminisce a little, here... It's almost one in the morning, and between Bob's passing and some other personal stuff I don't need to divulge, I'm exhausted and can say with some certainty, if you forgive the expression, that this whole effing day has left a bad taste in my mouth. But let ...

If there was one thing Bob Hoskins as Mario Mario taught us, it was to trust the fungus . Well said. Trusting the fungus isn't just a tagline or a phrase-- it's more than that. It's an idea . You put your trust, faith, superstition or science in something you believe is ultimately bigger than you a...
