All great picks. 

Conan is the only late night host I'm still subscribed to on YouTube. Also, I got to see Bruce Springsteen live for free with Max Weinberg drumming and Tom Morello on guitar. That's the concert I brag about going to the most. Was a little annoyed when we saw Slipknot and I couldn't really see Jay Weinberg (Max's son) playing drums. Also annoyed I'll never get to see Joey Jordison with them. 

Didn't realize Wallace & Gromit was that old, but I loved watching the shorts on PBS as a kid and of course the movies. 

I definitely played more NBA Jam than Doom in the 90s, but that's probably cause I was so young. I was disappointed when they tried bringing NBA Jam back but the reviews were mediocre. I miss arcade sports titles.

People praising Tool for their odd time signatures makes me realize how little music theory I know, cause to me their songs/riffs have always sounded pretty simple but I guess the stuff they're working into these songs is a lot more complex than I would think.

That's a hell of a title for a book, but sounds like an interesting read. 

The NES Contra is probably my favorite cause it's the most accessible. I honestly did not realize Contra started as an arcade game, though I guess a lot of games did back then. 

I only know the ones I've been on (that sounds more vain than it is; I'm just not an avid podcast listener) but Reading Gamebow is another one. 

This is reminding me there was some pretty cool stuff in the 90s, which is nice for as much as I've seen some people shit on the decade in recent years. 

Loving this series of yours. 

All I can see is Daffy Duck standing upon a horde of zombies a la Doom Guy, saying "Get DUCKED." 

I get where the modem/router comparisons come from, but to me it looks like a spaceship, and I like the aesthetic. I like new consoles to have a "futuristic" look. 

That Dream at the end of the World book sounds great. I love "Outshined" off Badmotorfinger. SuperUnknown is currently the CD in my car. "Fell on Black Days" is probably my favorite there, along with a song with the lyrics, "thought it was the end, thought it was the 4th of July" which I can't remember if I heard before on radio or not. 

I definitely need to watch Slacker. I'm always reminded it exists when I watch Clerks. I watched She's Gotta Have it on Netflix the other day and along with Do the Right Thing, I see a LOT of Spike Lee in Kevin Smith's early work. Mostly in the way characters talk, how slice-of-life everything is, and the overall film techniques being used. 

I don't think I was even alive when MTV was just music ...

What was the duck connection with Borderlands 3? Does it have a quack gun? It should.

I was only born in 1990, so I can't speak for the general popularity of ants, but ant farms were definitely a thing!

I'm pretty stoked for Spider-Man Miles Morales, but I don't know if I'll buy a PS5 right away. I was waiting for them to announce a price, and them not doing so makes me think it's on the expensive side.
