I'm trying to remember if I was nostalgic about things when I was 20... Actually back then is when Hot Topic and places like that started selling 80's cartoon themed stuff, so maybe I was.

[GS8]

This may be extremely obscure but does anyone remember these skits that aired on KSTW? They would air before and after a show but also during commercial breaks.

Rosco, Ronnie and Ranger Charlie

There were two Ranger Charlies, a man and then a woman. The man has since passed away. Ronnie is actually MJ McDermott who is currently on Q13 Fox News. The things I learn.

Kids still use these except they don't buy Razors anymore they buy scooters that are expensive compared to what the Razors cost. It's kind of the like Skateboard & BMX craze in the 80's except scooters. They take them to the skate parks and do tricks with them.

^ Shit thanks for the reminders. MGS was the first game that I was totally immersed and emotionally invested in on my PS. And that GT2 intro. So many hours spent on that shit lol

[Jmac]

GT2 = best soundtrack

Probably only behind Counter-Strike, Civilization IV, and Civilization V in terms of hours played for me. Definitely a lot more than newer Gran Turismos.

[punkwax]

Tony Hawk had a great soundtrack imo.

Can't find a decent example online to share but for some reason this morning I remembered printing party banners etc. on my parents old dot matrix printer back in the day. I remember being so impressed with the technology back then :lol

[JSALES]

I'll always remember the Gran Turismo intros, especially the Japanese versions of it since it's the first intro I saw for the game.

I also thought Ridge Racer Type 4 had one of the best intros and the graphics were too good at the time lol

AllAdvantage was the shit back in the day. Set up some sort of script or macro to have your mouse just randomly move all over while you turned your monitor off and went to school.

I used NetZero for free 56k dial-up exclusively until grade 10 or 11. The worst was when you went to GeoCities to look at porn pics and then your internet would cut out because your parents picked up the phone to dial out.

I remember staying up late to watch it for its cable premier on Showcase - remember when they actually showed indie/foreign films full of nudity?

My sister's grade 9 English class was made to watch it (1996-97). The teacher was always touchy-feely (hands on shoulders stuff), insisted kids play with his pet snakes (another way to make physical contact with students) and always on the edge of inappropriate. A year or two later students finally accused him of sexual harrassment. I can't recall what happened with that.

Great film, but it always reminds me of that teacher.

Is that the 128MB MP3 player that Telus was giving as a promo if you signed up for their internet? I remember it because one of their reps called my house mid-week during summer break, my brother answered assuming it was my parents but since it was some random person asking for my mom he just handed it to me. The guy flew into his pitch and kept rambling on, I didn't care about the MP3 player since I'd just gotten a minidisc player so I just kept saying "mhmm" and "yeah" every so often til he finally hung up. A few weeks later a box showed up at our door with a modem and one of those MP3 players, it turns out somehow I'd signed us up for internet and Telus added it to our phone bill. My mom was not amused and someone at Telus got an earful :lol

It was sad when Speed TV took over. There was a group of us who used to hit up a pub in Walnut Grove to watch JGTC races, fuzebox, zulu, and others. Speedvision used to have a half hour program devoted to the week's races and it was awesome to watch while we played pool.

Then Speed took over and took away all of the unique broadcasting, replacing it with Nascar 24/7.

Then the pub closed down.....

The new entertainment options planned for the redeveloped Brentwood Town Centre shopping mall, now known as ‘The Amazing Brentwood’, could rival those currently found at Metropolis at Metrotown.

In fact, it could even provide a throwback to those who remember Metrotown’s Playdium, which was shut in 2005 and replaced with a Winners.

Cineplex has announced that it will build a massive 64,700 ft² entertainment centre at the top level of the expanded shopping mall complex that will include a VIP cinema with five auditoriums and a special lounge area.

There will also be a massive ‘Rec Room’ with over 100 arcade games and simulators, a bowling alley, and dining options including an upscale restaurant and sports bar.

Ahhhh my first super soaker. We didn't have much money so my mom couldn't afford the 100. It always pissed me off that the kid down the block got the 100 and could shoot 25ft further than me.

for those of you who were around for expo 86 and still remember the McBarge, there is a crowdfunding push to convert it into a deep ocean discovery centre:

Vancouver's McBarge could become a Deep Ocean Discovery Centre | Daily Hive Vancouver (http://dailyhive.com/vancouver/mcbarge-expo-vancouver-deep-ocean-discovery-centre)

http://images.dailyhive.com/20171012122857/McBarge-current-interior-2.jpg

Supporters are being offered the chance to go aboard the McBarge for the first time since Expo ’86 on Saturday, October 21.

I’ve been aboard it via boat once before a few years ago. All I can say is have fun restoring it.

I honestly don’t even think it would be financially viable with all the asbestos inside.

i have to assume that since they've already gutted out the interior and hopefully by doing so they have done the necessary asbestos abatement?

UBC in the 70s..........

The world famous UBC Cinnamon Buns. I've tried the new ones, the not so new ones and all the ones at bakeries from around the universe and nothing comes close to those that were made back in the 60's-70's. Sticky fingers and textbooks, lol. So soft and gooey. You had to get them when they were still warm. Of course they were always sold out by 11:00 am. Gave me reason never to sleep in.

I remember using it once at metrotown before the program was gone, me and a friend dared each other and loser had to put in a $1

I didn’t have those exact British Knights but I did have an all black pair. Then it was rumoured to be dangerous to wear BK shoes as it stood for Blood Killers lol... right around the same time as the Purple gang was terrorizing Metrotown if I remember correctly. Couldn’t wear purple around there or you could get beat up back in the early 90’s.. could’ve been all rumours but I remember people talking about that back then.

Haha, I remember that. It didn't stop me from rocking my purple satin starter jacket. I got this for Christmas 1991 so awesome at the time haha.

I almost got jumped for my jacket one day then my good friend pulled a knife on some dude and he backed off, Surrey What!

No joke, when I was in grade 7 two kids got in a fight one kid got stabbed multiple times (more slashed than stabbed) and neither kid got expelled they just got suspended a couple days. If that happened today it would be on global news.

[Bouncing Bettys]

All the kids were wearing their Reebok Pumps, LA Gear pumps, Nike Airs, Air Jordans, etc while I was sporting the latest K-Mart brand and got teased (My elementary school was nicknamed by the rest of the schools as the snob school). In order to convince my mom to stop buying me cheap shoes, I used to wear the shit out of them, drag my feet while riding my bike, etc so they would fall apart faster. I was so happy to get my Reebok 360 Hi Jams, even though they weren't pumps, they at least were name brand. It wasn't long after that I realized name brands aren't helping me fit in any better and my friends are spoiled dicks. Found a new crew and let out my inner nerd.

Anyone remember Sears kids? Back in the day my mom would buy my jeans from there cuz was sort of warranty on them where u get free replacement if they rip, there was a age restriction or something

I remember wear bugle boy jeans as kid, not sure if Sears had them or if it was off some other parents kids but I had them when I was in grade 2 (I even had holes in them in knees afterwards cuz fashion lol)

Lobo/xtc force from fields were standard in elementary.
First pair of decent shoes i ever got (British knights), was because i paid for them.

I remember shoe strings on Kingsway,across from metrotown had reasonably discounted shoes.
Frugal feet in metrotown was like the winners for shoes (there was no winners back then,of course).

I most definitely had that exact pair. I loved BK's back then. Had a full track suit to match. Track suits were huge back then. Troop, BK, Cross Colors, etc.

LOL at the purple gang. I remember the PD's (Filipino Descendants, FD sounds lame I guess) had some purple ties in Richmond back then. Richmond Centre food court was wild and hectic at lunch time. They rolled in mega numbers though.

I had all those shoes growing up. LA Gear, BK, Reebok Pumps, Chuck Taylors etc.

Kinney was my go to place then migrated to Superstar & Sports Experts (which still exists to my shock).

That was the point of the prank lol

I had a pair of adidas half tear way pants, which looked like tear ways on the outside but it only tears halfway

So kids try to tear my pants but couldn't tear them up fully cuz anything above my knee a little bit were all fake buttons lol, so jokes on them as I didn't have to do all those buttons lol

I also remember kids wouldn't button all the buttons lol, they like button all the way down to the knee and bit, that was it

[Mr.Money]

those adidas button ups were so popular "fields" even had a rip off verison with only 2 white stripes on the side with buttons.


i had a pair,thought nothing of them,but everyone wanted a pair at school.

i heard black markets in china use to sell of movies in VCD format just in theaters with relatively good clarity,someone would just walk in,sell it and go on.

known fact in the early 2000's,Canada use to be a leader in Clearly recorded bootleg movies because they would use a Tripod inside the movie theater.

enough so Hollywood threatened to release movies months later if it doesn't stop happening,There wasn't any Laws for bringing in video recording equipment inside at the time.


Asia was ahead of the curve on VCD players,later brands like Sony started supporting VCD & No One Had a damn clue what it was till later here in north america....DVD's were selling huge here ..i remember everyone purchasing day 1 releases cause it was so much better picture & sound than vcr tapes.....optical 5.1 and dts 5.1 was godsend

Christmas as a kid. I miss it :crybaby:

Favourite was in 1992 when I was hoping for a SNES bundled with Super Mario World & TWO controllers. I didn't have a NES so I never played Mario Bros 3 which means you can imagine my level of happiness and shock playing SMW for the first time. Only ever experienced it watching others play it at Phantasy Video Games out in Coquitlam.

That Christmas Eve was the only night I didn't sleep a whole wink. Way too excited.

We didn't have a lot of money but after working hard in school, I was rewarded with this.

Nice man. My Christmas in 1992 was similar, but we were even poorer, so our gift was to rent a SNES for the holiday. I didn't mind one bit, it was the best few days of my memory, playing through SMBW with its amazing sounds and graphics. Discovering secrets everywhere, etc. I will never forget those few days!

Was this around New Years Eve? We got the snow, which we were used to, but New Years Eve we got walloped by freezing rain up in Kamloops. Everything was coated in nearly 2 inches of ice. My dad couldn't get the car up our very steep driveway and was really not wanting to park it on the street, also very steep, because it was quickly turning into a parking lot of crunched vehicles. I believe the ice was also responsible for causing a massive fire at a hotel which was under construction at the time.

Last night I decided to relive my Elementary school days and eat a crunched up bag of raw Ichiban with the powder sauce - living that bachelor life, what can I say. Everyone seemed to bring those for lunch for a year or two in the early 90's until they were banned by the school because of the mess they made in the classroom.

Earlier in the year when I was doing some house cleaning, I came across a bunch of old VCDs. Threw one into the PC's DVD drive, and fired up VLC to play it. Holy OMG... the resolution was so bad that I don't know how anyone (my old self included) could ever make any detail out of the picture.

And then the video compression technology back then was pretty bad too. You can literally see all the image artifacts from the video compression blurring things out, but in an ugly, large, blocky way. FailFish

(And I know I watched a gob ton of those VCDs back in the day...)

I was one of the few who always thought it was bad... I didn't understand how any of my asian friends could stand watching them LUL

It wasn't as bad back then though, because you were watching them on low res screens... Like a normal NTSC or PAL TV was the equivalent 440P or 520P. VCDs were half of that each, and SVCD were full res, so obviously still very low, but not as bad as trying to watch them on your 1080p or 4K monitor today 4Head )

remember back in the day when KFC was actually worth going to, toonie tuesdays and extra crispy

everyone lining up on tuesdays for KFC, toonie tuesday + $1 pop and theres a meal right there lol

my family isnt really brand loyal but KFC has always had a special place in my dads heart, even though it taste like crap (even my dad quality has gone down) but he would still get one in a blue moon when they changed it to tuesday special

i stopped eating KFC when they got rid of the extra crispy chicken

[Traum]

Dude, they still have extra crispy at KFC.

I think their Tuesday Specials are now like $3.49? The pieces are a bit smaller, but I think they still taste the same as before? or at least, it is similar enough that I wouldn't complain about the taste.

really? i duno why but last time i was back in vancouver the KFC i went to told me they didnt do extra crispy no more

i live near churches fry chicken for more then 10 years, then when we moved near cambie.........suprised another churches (cant really go back to kfc unless its for nostalgia purpose)

[Traum]

I can't remember if they call it "extra crispy" or "extra spicy", but they use a crispy batter on it, and it is not bad. I still like the original better though.

I usually go to the ones on Kingsway between Nanaimo and Victoria, and the one on Kingsway next to Burnaby NCIX (now Canada Computers). The cashier always asks whether I want original or crispy.

[punkwax]

I think some KFC locations can still do extra crispy, which is also
spicier. White Rock location doesn’t do extra crispy but made it sounds like others might when I asked.

[corollagtSr5]

yea just order spicy. the malls like metro and oakridge dont carry spicy. can confirm broadway by fraser, knight and 41 and gladstone and kingsway have spicy.

A lot more trees now than 30 years ago, but trade off is the high-density housing (skyscrapers) and some areas there's like zero view from the Skytrain where there was an amazing view before.

My old place on Prenter St (just after Edmonds station) looked completely empty in 1990 and completely overgrown in 2020. We used to be able to see the Skytrain from our apartment, but doesn't look like that's the case anymore.

of it is a lot more trees i noticed too, but i'm willing to bet not that many. a lot of the trees have just grown fuller over 30 years.

old neighbourhood in van I could look over and see the roads, english bay and down town over a stretch of 3 blocks about 150-200m away. but the same trees now, have completely blocked any light coming from that direction. and have grown tall enough to block the mountains from the skyline.

For me it was the Turbo Bandit I wanted so bad. Or any of those RC cars in the 80s and 90s.

One year we finally got some. Corded. They went so slow and you had to follow them around. Also the one my brother got didn't even have a steer function, to make it turn, you had to go in reverse which would turn the wheels left to get around obstacles.

2 of my favorite snacks when I was a kid were Thunder Crunch Parmesan flavor and Jimmys beef jerky.

I bought a bag of Kettle Chips the other day cause it caught my eye as they had Parmesan Garlic flavor and damn it was as close as I remember being to the Thunder Crunch I loved. Sadly nothing has ever come close to Jimmys.

The turbo hopper somehow slipped past my parents defenses when it came to getting a toy that needed batteries. They hated buying batteries. I think we spent more time playing with it dead than with power. But man - if we could get our hands on some AA's we were in for a good time.

The neighbour who never seemed to have a hard time scoring Duracell's had the ultimate kids dream RC - the Typhoon. Of course it was actually terrible to use, but it was dope as hell.

Mostly though it was lego for me. The sets didn't stay together for long, I had much more fun modding out my own custom builds. Long before lego launched all of their new themes, I'd turned all of my Space toys into underwater vehicles after watching The Abyss.

I remember replicating "The Abyss" too. Except we used GI Joes instead of Legos. We didn't have the giant vehicles, so our aircraft carrier was mom's ironing board LUL

They'd all be preparing up on the ironing board to dive to the bottom, where we'd set up blankets so they'd have caves to explore at the bottom of the sea

He also had a Vanessa's Lunch Box brand new in box and ready to be painted. I wanted that thing so bad and it was always there. Eventually it was gone and as much as I still want one, their prices are way beyond what I'm willing to spend.

From what I remember, they are french-fry shaped chips that came from bags (e.g. like you'd see in vending machines). I remember them back around 1998 or 1999.

They came in barbecue and all dressed flavour, and the all-dressed flavour came in a blue bag with yellow/orange accents.

I've searched all over google for this in the past, and just asked a few of my high school friends and they don't remember it.

Thunder Crunch (originally owned by Nally's) was bought by Old Dutch and as part of the acquisition, Old Dutch rebranded them to Dutch Crunch. They still own and hold the copy right to the brand. I think you can find the radio interview from a radio station in Calgary which interviewed the CEO of Old Dutch, they go into some good detail behind the consolidation and re-brand.
