I'm gonna be honest, I didn't know that part about the backstory with the giant computer and stuff when I was a kid. I just watched it for the action and to shoot at the screen with my forty dollar toy.
I do agree, though, that looking back on the show now, it does seem more violent than what you'd expect from a kid's show. The series finale, for example, had one major character die, which involved a lengthy and desperate last stand and heroic sacrifice.
Luckily for me that didn't fuck me up very much, since Candy Candy already did that long before (stupid gypsy prediction, stupid falling off horses)....

I think the person doing the O's probably does know but just had a brain fart placing her third piece "Oh she got in ahead of me she'll block me, crap she's got 2 in a row I need to block her...WTF she didn't block me? Dammit I could have won there!"

I found this really fascinating. A video about a "new" shape (well, newly categorized and mathematically described, with practical application to future scientific study).
First the Gömböc, now this?
I haven't heard so much about shapes since I learned how the Golden Section can be used to define shapes (called "Penrose Tiles") that can be tiled to completely cover a surface but not repeat.

Funnier'n you.
1: 1990 is the eighties, certainly in musical style. I don't know the song.
2: I know the song, I know Cypress Hill though I couldn't have named them.
3: no idea. I don't think I've ever heard this song, or anything about the artist.
4: okay, I know this one, and I thought it was him though I wasn't entirely sure.
5: of course I know the song. Though I wouldn't have been able to name the artist if my life depended on it.
6: great song...but I didn't know the title, and didn't know it was from the Beastie Boys.
7: obviously I know this one, pretty iconic for our generation.
Yeah, doesn't make me feel very old, not everyone is up on all music trivia for all genres.

I feel like 1989-1991/2 had a very different style from the rest of the 80's, before Grunge blew up. It's hard to explain it, but you had the very manufactured hip-hop ( Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, etc.) and Pop seemed to move away from synthesizers but still had an electronic sound.
True, and I agree, but I'd still put the music from 88-91 in a "late eighties" category rather than "early nineties". Similarly, a lot of 00-01 music is the last hurrah of late nineties music rather than early oughts.

Not even the kid in the beginning who said "I might know 2000s, but 90s? Man, that's for OLD PEOPLE"?
Not really. I mean, kids are kids - they don't have long term vision at all. I know adults who think 2010 is "a long time ago". I'm not exactly one of them, but hey, people percieve time differently. I think 1920 is pretty recent, so...Not even the kid in the beginning who said "I might know 2000s, but 90s? Man, that's for OLD PEOPLE"?
In my opinion, @ThatNickGuy has already posted the most "FEEEEL OOLLLLDD" video they've done so far.
