Humpday Gaming: Jurassic Park – Sega Genesis
Jurassic Park was the shit. I don’t mean just “the shit.” I mean “THE shit”. When I first saw it in theatres it was something close to having every single thing I played out as a kid with my cheap dinosaur toys and He-Men on the big screen. Except the dinosaurs on that screen weren’t bright pink and purchased in the clearance bin at K-Mart. No, they looked real. Frighteningly real for a time when cg wasn’t used in every stupid car insurance commercial on Earth. It was still new, and it was used for the one purpose cg should have been used for: Dinosaurs losing their damn minds and eating people. It was one of the few “movie magic” moments of my life I can recall.
And then the games were announced, and life had seemingly come full circle. (more…)
Before actually working at a party supply store, I was unaware that there are party supplies for EVERYTHING. I had previously been under the notion that people weren’t so stupid that they would need to run out and buy a giant bull skull to complete the look of their “Tex-Mex party,” which would just end up looking like a regular party except with a giant shitty foam bull skull hanging on the wall. I have never been about accessorizing for a party myself, as I have always been under the belief that if people cannot eat off the floor, then they don’t deserve to be in any of my social events.
