Wow, that’s another eight episodes of Classic MTV acquired.

1989 nostalgia for 1981-1985!

A treat for @beaucoupkevin.com and all you other fans of the Star Trek:

A late August 1989 clip from MTV's The Big Picture, covering Star Trek V and the fan convention scene.

The for-real first two things that pop in my head when I think "1989."

1989 was a weird year for me, because I was dealing with the aftermath of losing my mother and getting placed in my grandmother's custody, but also I was free from my parents' abuse and mental illness for the first time.

I also scored another five episodes of Classic MTV w. Martha Quinn, including the VMA winners hall of fame special.

And most of MTV’s Big Picture’s 1989 Summer Blockbuster Review filled Batman and Last Crusade and Lethal Weapon 2 goodness.

I have to work a little editing magic on it and will send you a DM with DL deets when it's good to go.

Got another block of August 1989 MTV stuff.

Buried in it was a USA Network special about Nightmare on Elm Street which I need to get into @cheru.bsky.social's hands somehow.

If you're looking for a decent "classic alternative" radio station, this is my go-to and what has gotten me through so many tedious work days.

Between forgetting to do the engraving for weapon carryover during my previous Parasite Eve playthrough and losing my Dead Space 1&2 saves when I upgraded laptop's SSD, this has been the October without New Game Plus.

It's fine because it makes the games more of a challenge.

Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I think there's something funny going on aboard the USG Ishimura.

Finished my playthough of Parasite Eve, and it never fails to delight when I see Lisa Foster's name in the credits as a member of Square USA's CGI team.

Dark October

The Void
by Paul Jenkins, Jae Lee, and Rick Veitch (2000)
The same serum that gave Bob Reynolds the power to become the Sentry also empowered a dark part of his psyche to exist separately as The Void.

Plus it would be nice to consolidate my PCem and DOSBox-X stuff in a single place.

The gamepad mapping is what I'm really curious about, because there are a lot of DOS games where I'd love more robust control configuration options.
