New on the Secret Area: "Halo with chips" has been found.

A dumb back of the box quote from Maxim magazine promoting a poker video game had become a small meme. I wanted to find out where it came from.

New Secret Area post: On random memes, old game shows and "Glunch."

A meme among me and a few friends goes from a silly image on Tumblr to me discovering the show the image is from. One of my nerdy pop culture journeys.

Shares and comments appreciated!

for years, I've held onto this random image that someone found on a tumblr somewhere, and I always wanted to find the show in question

and now I have.

folks

we have finally found Glunch

I'm gonna compliment my friends and colleagues, who can sit down and write thousands of words on a constant basis

I must ask: What's your secret

Because sometimes I can bang out 1,000 words in an instant, other times I'm lucky to get even a paragraph.

Anyone ever had someone close to you say that you should embrace AI for your creative work or you'll be left behind?

Because I've gotten that conversation from my dad twice now and I hate it so damn much

been feeling maximum executive dysfunction lately and I hate it

There's folks who remember when this song was popular when it was new.

There's folks who remember this from an important scene from Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill.

Me, however? "Oh hey, that's the theme they used in the pilot for Bullseye!"

Was funny to find out that Wrack had Steam Workshop support, and of course someone ported The Slipgate Complex from Quake *and* the entirety of Doom's first episode, Knee-Deep in the Dead, to that game.

However, playing those just made me wanna replay Quake and Doom again

Last night I decided to check out Wrack, and I got tired of it roughly halfway through.

It's got a neat art style and an amusing story, but the gameplay is just dull and uninteresting.

Heard the remake is a little better but I ain't spending $11 to found out

thinking about this shitpost for some reason https://soundcloud.com/dumbshitthatjakazidmade/livin-la-vida-loca-featuring-the-vocalist-from-american-idol-gba

you think ALF would've guest starred on MST3K

Friend of mine was streaming Minority Report: Everybody Runs and was surprised that there was this random music video in there as a bonus feature

Remember when 2000s-era video games had random nu-metal in them for some reason https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kW2KaAgNcN4
