Culture Buzz What started out as a simple google image search resulted in this giant collection of Valentines from the past. Send them to your friends!
Culture Buzz I’m a fan of everything that’s going on in this video. 10s across the board.
I have given this an additional amount of thought. All is not well in the sordid, gritty world of Dr. Mario.
Culture Buzz All of the wonderful elements here combine to create the most beautiful and eloquent music video I've ever seen.
Music Buzz Here's a fun little video of young Ice-T talking about the two kinds of rap and taking the time to record his not great breakdancing skillz for posterity in the 1983 documentary Breakin' 'N Enterin'.
TV Buzz Kanye West lyrics meet “Saved By The Bell” stills. It's eery how well they work together - like “the Wizard Of Oz” and “Dark Side Of The Moon.”
Check out this ridiculously awesome video showcasing nearly every single toy from the 1980's. Entitled 'The King Of Legoland', the video was directed by Micaël Reynaud and the music is by Hunting Charlie's Band. (via officialhype.org)
Just so you know, this is how abortions were performed before clinics started using pump-action rifles and plastic explosives.
As one YouTuber commented: “This is back when toxic fumes from melting plastic was safe.” Um, I’m not so sure about that.
Culture Buzz The bibliophiles at Awful Library Books blew the dust off some Reagan Era romance titles in case any eager beavers needed to bulk up their summer reading lists. Thanks but I've already read Oh, Rick!, like, three times. (via.)
Before becoming one of the '80s most iconic heavy metal recording artists, the Philly-based foursome got hairspray money by doing commercials for Pat's Chili Dogs. Air date: 1983. (via.)
Ever wondered what Terminator 2: Judgment Day would sound like with NES sound effects? Exactly what you think it would sound like.
Tech Buzz It’s back! The Commodore 64 computer you may fondly remember from your youth (assuming you were a youth back in the early 1980s) has returned from the place where old computers go to die, reborn as something that looks the same, but acts very different. The new C64 comes with a 1.8GHz Intel processor, up to 4GB RAM, runs Windows 7, and even plays back Blu-ray discs. There’s a built-in C64 emulator so you can play those retro games, if your yearning for nostalgia stretches that far. (Via TIME)
The classic game reimagined as a John Hughes movie. The 8-bit version of New Order's “Bizarre Love Triangle” at the end is pretty epic.
Culture Buzz I want some of whatever they're doing up there and I want it now. (Via badtvblog.)
Ricky Gervais rocking that early '80s androgyny. See also: This amazing video from his '80s glampop band, Seona Dancing.
Back in the '80s, games were intense enough to make your hair big. Imagine this guy playing 3D video games nowadays.

Perhaps the cutest thing you'll ever see.
Charity appeals used to be a lot more terrifying in the '80s. Just give the nice weather lady your money and back slowly out of the room.
