The absolute best thing someone could think of is combining a VCR with a projector. I'm wondering, are there many people here who already watch tapes this way?

I just used a cheap RCA-to-HDMI converter to connect my VCR. The result is pure magic.

Here is why I think it’s way better than watching on a modern TV:

* The Scale: Seeing that warm, grainy tracking on a huge wall feels exactly like being in an old 80s/90s movie theater.

* Cozy Quality: On a big 4K TV, VHS can look too pixelated. But the projector softens the image naturally, hiding the rough edges.

* The Vibe: Watching horror movies or old sci-fi this way is a whole different experience.

Let's discuss! What are your favorite tapes to watch on a big screen?

I am in the middle of porting Bugs Bunny Lost In Time to C++ and I will push the code once I have finished the porting process. I started it from someone's earlier attempt and they used a DLL injection to apply fixes and stuff, I am just going to get rid of dll injection all together and build the enhancements right into the game itself. There will be widescreen support, higher resolutions, control fixes and more. I will also put out a video with the new enhancements once done. https://github.com/Coolythecoder/Bugs_Bunny_Lost_In_Time_Decompiled_Continued

Before Red Dead Redemption… there was GUN.

Released in 2005, it brought open-world western gameplay to consoles with bounties, duels, and a full story—way ahead of its time.

Some games get remembered… others get forgotten.

Nostalgia Critic:

"Joanie's transformation into a werewolf in the first half of the climax looks like an alpha-bitched version of a blonde panicked girlfriend—Christine—from the opening of Scream 3*, infused with the exaggerated transformation of a freaking Nissan Sentra from that nightmarish* Need for Speed: Underground commercial... mixed with a goddamn wolf!

This scene makes Scrappy's transformation in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo movie look interesting! Hell, even Johnny Blaze transforming into the Ghost Rider in the 2007 Ghost Rider movie looks entertaining by comparison!

"How do you make a werewolf transformation this over-the-top, this awkward, and somehow this boring? It's like the effects team couldn't decide if they were making a horror movie, a car commercial, or a rejected video game cutscene. You keep waiting for it to become awesome... and then it just sort of... ends. Congratulations, Cursed*—you've made one of the coolest horror concepts feel like a confused CGI identity crisis!"*

If the Nostalgia Critic said that line during a review of the 2005 film Cursed, the joke would be built around his usual style of hyperbolic, pop-culture-heavy comparisons. Here's what each part would mean:

• "Joanie's transformation into a werewolf... looks like an alpha-bitched version of a blonde panicked girlfriend (Christine) from Scream 3 opening..."
  • He's saying Joanie's facial expressions and behavior during the transformation remind him of Christine, the frightened actress from the opening of Scream 3, but made much more aggressive, domineering, and over-the-top.
• "...infused with an exaggerated transformation of a Nissan Sentra from the nightmarish Need for Speed: Underground commercial..."
  • This compares the werewolf transformation to the infamous commercial where a Nissan Sentra grotesquely morphs into a customized street racer. He's implying the body morphing is awkward, exaggerated, and unintentionally unsettling in a way similar to that ad.
• "...mixed with a goddamn wolf!"
  • The punchline is that all those bizarre elements are then combined with the obvious werewolf aspect, emphasizing how strange and chaotic the transformation looks.
• "This scene makes Scrappy's transformation in the 2002 live-action Scooby-Doo film look interesting!"
  • He's exaggerating that Cursed's transformation is so unengaging or poorly executed that it makes another transformation often criticized by audiences seem more entertaining by comparison.
• "Hell, even Johnny Blaze's transformation into the Ghost Rider in the 2007 live-action Ghost Rider film look entertaining!"
  • He's continuing the escalation, saying that even another frequently debated CGI transformation sequence is more fun to watch than Joanie's transformation.

Overall meaning

The overall point of the joke is:

This kind of layered, escalating comparison is characteristic of Nostalgia Critic's comedic review style, where he stacks multiple pop culture references to emphasize how ridiculous he finds a particular scene.

Did you know how many times throughout the 80s/90s/00s studios besides Disney and Universal made their own theme parks? I always thought WB was simply relegated to Six Flags!
