openNo Title Videogame
I have a list of several video games from various genres and generations that I'm trying to remember. Here are my descriptions in rough chronological order of how old they are, starting with the most recent:
1) An online Flash game in the puzzle genre with an isometric view. Each level spawns a single-file line of small creatures (I can't remember if they're robots, aliens, or whatever) that must be guided to an exit. Your main tools are placing a limited number of arrows on the ground to redirect the minions, and in some levels they have to hop on springs to get over gaps or collect keys to open doors. I'm not positive on this, but the arrows might also be color-coded so that only certain minions will follow them, which adds an extra dimension of thinking to later levels. I played this game sometime within the last decade, so while it's at least from 2000 I doubt it's newer than around 2008. (Found: it's called Light Brigade)
2) Another browser-based PC game that I played sometime between 2002-2004. The gameplay is similar to Geometry Wars in that the entities are abstract shapes in an open 2D arena. It's actually a multiplayer game in that each player is in their own arena, but their performance makes enemies spawn for the other players. I think you get power-ups like weapons, shields, and such as pickups from destroyed enemies, and I also think the enemies spawn from wormhole-like areas. The last player alive wins the round.
3) A point-and-click adventure game for the PC which I saw sometime in the mid-1990s. As I recall it was near-future or cyberpunk with dark and realistic visuals. The one memory that sticks out in my mind is that the line for I Can't Use These Things Together would be a somewhat deep male voice saying "Hmm, that doesn't work" and the cursor would be a slowly spinning hourglass. I checked the examples on that trope page but nothing particularly sticks out. The closest thematic match I've found so far is Beneath A Steel Sky, but that's a little too alien and not quite as dark as I recall.
4) A sci-fi space exploration game. The graphics are similar to the Atari 2600, maybe a little more advanced. I don't actually know what platform it's on because I only saw it in a video embedded on someone's website, but it could have been an older home computer like the Commodore 64. In any case, the player flies over planets in 2D scrolling segments much like Defender but can also fly through space between planets (I don't remember what that part looked like). Throughout the game the player encounters alien ships that are either red or blue; one type is friendly while the other is hostile. Shooting hostile aliens gives you money from bounties, while shooting friendly aliens causes you to get fined. However, the change in money only applies when you dock at spaceports. If you accrue enough fines that you don't have enough money to pay, you're imprisoned and lose the game.
5) An ASCII-based train simulator game from no later than around 1992. Because of the limited graphics it's simply white characters on a black screen, and there's no screen scrolling so the whole track is confined to one screen. The one gameplay feature I remember is that you can build rail junctions and control the switches with the keyboard keys, and each junction is marked with the key that controls it. (Edit: This was almost certainly a DOS game.)
Edited by UltramarineAlizarinopenA chillout song Music
In 2018 I heard a chillout song on the radio that from time to time repeated the words from the song Try Again by Aaliyah ft. Timbaland. The words were these: "Been a long time, shouldn't have left you without a dope beat to step to, step to", the words "step to" repeated fading away. During these words the song was taking a pause, reducing itself to some simple beat, then it was chillout again. As for the music itself, it's hard for me to describe it, I can just say it sounded like chillout, it was instrumental, there were no other words in the song. Now and then there was a meditative "oh" sound, like a human voice, but probably synthesized. I tried to look for it, at first I thought it would be easy, I know the words, but so far I still cannot find it. A very beautiful song I heard when I was far away from home, on a journey, over some local radio station. Does someone recognize this song? Could it be some local mix of the Try Again song? Do radio stations frequently mix things up and then air them?
Edited by Kisujjopenkorean(?) anthology film series? Film
a while ago i watched this series of movies. they were korean i think but it could be a different country. i watched it through a friend streaming them on discord. apparently there were a lot but i only watched a few. i asked that friend about the title and they just said "strange tales i think?" which gives me nothing, do you know how many tales there are bro let alone strange ones. i was wondering if someone knows these films. i remember several of the stories. spoilers i suppose. the stories between the stores were always narrated by this one old man. one of the stories involved a child praying to a shrine that she would get every question on the test right, and it comes true and warps the world around her wrong answers so they are correct, which makes havoc ensue. another story involves a character who gains a condition where they often hear music and have to act along to it, and she finds another person with the same condition. i dont remember exactly how it ended but i do remember they died because of a certain special song. another story involved a man finding a supernatural NES game, which would summon the man's childhood friend who would play the same game with him when he was young. i dont remember a whole lot about this story but i remember something about the childhood friend dying in a river on their way home. another story which i can only remember the concept of was about a world where snobby business men acted like dogs. the last story i can remember and put into words was about a story about half the length of the other ones about a golden egg. i dont remember anything else about it.
if anyone could help me find these films that would be GREATLY appreciated, they were really fun
openSome action movie Film
I do not remember much about this movie, only that I stumbled upon its ending, and there was some weird fight, two men fought each other on some swinging platform, maybe even a giant chandelier or smth, I don't know, it doesn't make a lot of sense, but that's how I remember it. Some building, some men, they fight, some swinging platform, I don't really want to say it's a chandelier, but oh well. Maybe they were swinging on some ropes, like that fight in Highlander III: The Sorcerer. Then the building explodes and the survivor (I guess the main character) sits down, I think, and looks at some photo, probably his girlfriend, maybe that fight had been his revenge. For some reason I think he was a biker, probably there was his bike around. And probably this building was a gas station or smth, the fire was due to gas exploding, I think. I watched this scene maybe in 2005 or even earlier, the movie felt like it was probably from the nineties, maybe it is actually from 2000-2005. It had some style in the camera work and the editing, so probably it is not a B-movie. It resembles Torque and Roadracers in the spirit, I think, I watched them but the movie I am searching is something else. It is not The Saint (1997), though a chandelier fight is there. Probably just a childhood fever dream, unlikely though.
Edited by KisujjopenCannibal Woman Who Lives in a Cave Live Action TV
I've searched everywhere on the entire internet and cannot find the show/movie this scene is from. To the best of my recollection there were 2 guys who were in a forest or jungle and they come across a cave. A normal-looking woman lives inside and invites them in for food. She gets some meat and brings it back to them and they begin to eat it. One guy remarks how good it tastes and the other sees that a piece of meat has a tattoo on it, indicating they're eating a person. They look at the woman, who smiles and shows that she has sharp cannibal-point teeth. The men freak out and run away and see other people tied up in the cave as they try to escape. The woman laughs in the background. I was born in 1990 and I was a kid when I saw this, so it's from 2000/2001 at the latest. There's a scene from Wrong Turn 2 that's similar to this, as well as Green Inferno, but those aren't what I'm looking for. Someone on TOMT said they vaguely remember the scene and think it's from some dark fantasy or sci-fi show. Thanks!
openIssue of Captain America/TheAvengers
I'm looking for the issue/character that this example I found on Born-Again Immortality comes from:
openSong with "shu-shook" in the chorus Music
This song from The '90s that was on the radio a lot.Male singer, genre maybe rock? The main think I remember is in the chorus someone says the "word" "shu-shook" repeatedly. The rest of the chorus (and the song in general) was real words, but I can't remember any to look up
openInternet compilation video Web Original
I've tried numerous times to copy and paste the information from reddit over to here but it hasn't worked so I'll try this instead: https://imgur.com/Wld38gq
resolved Mickey Mouse cartoon dancing Western Animation
There's an old B&W Mickey Mouse cartoon where a load of characters are just dancing. One visual I particularly remember is a large pig that gets a small chair stuck to her backside.
openOld Giallo set in a hotel. Film
There was a Giallo film I saw up on You Tube years ago. It should be from the 60's or 70's. I remember it being set in a hotel, a pretty luxurious one. There were plenty of scenes set in a central stairwell over a large drop. One of the killer's victims was a black woman who he killed by tying her up in a bathtub and filling it up do she drowned. During the end the killer has a fight with one of the heros and ends up falling to their death.
open80s-sounding song Music
My mom used to play this song when I was a child, and I've never heard it since. All I can remember was one (recurring?) part of the song: a male singer sounding vaguely like Pat Sajak saying "I" and percussion between his vocals (the best way I can describe it in text is "I- (dun da dun) I- (dun da dun)"). I believe it was a slow romantic song, and there may have been a female singer for the verses. It sounded very 80s, though it could be from anywhere up to the mid-late 2000s (when I heard it). I thought it was by The B-52s for a while, but none of the songs on the one album we have match.
Edit: Memory's still fuzzy, but here's some more details that might help: genre's most likely pop (maybe softer/mellow rock), the "I-"s were spoken with something like a voice crack partway (electronically altered?), the percussion (most likely drums) definitely stood out from the rest of the melody, and I wanna say the instrumentation/overall tone sounded something like "Electrolite" by R.E.M. (not a complete similarity of course).
Edited by CosmicCatresolved Teenager's Lies Coming True Film
American, mid-2000s. A crass comedy about a teenager boy who gains the power to make his lies come true. His life falls apart because of the unforeseen consequence of said lies.
One lie was that his mum and dad were a rock star and a fashion designer, which leads to them filing for divorce.
Any help is great. Thanks.
openEarly 2000's Horror Movie Film
Movie should be from around 2000-2010 probably from the extra half of the decade, I forget the exact year I saw it. It was one of those movies that showed up for free on those on-demand services at the time so I giving it a watch. From what I can remember, it involved a mad scientist-like character experimenting on humans, turning them into some sort of mutants. One scene near the end has a protagonist approach one of the mutants, who used to be a family member of his. I want to say it was his son or daughter. He pleads for them to remember him and seems to get through to it, but as he gets closer, it instead guts him.
openNo Title Film
I've got three that cross my mind from time to time, pretty sure they are all movies:
1. A movie about ants that build these pillars or towers; possibly Phase IV; I'll check that out when I get a chance.
2. A movie about an evil kid who manages to fool almost everyone, but the one person he can't fool he kills in the end by burning a building (a barn?) down on him. No, not "The Good Son"; this was definitely earlier than that, it had a "filmed in the 70s" feel.
3. A horror movie about a family in the countryside that gets infected (possibly by something in the water?). The kids manage to stay uninfected, but some visitors show up and get eaten. I specifically remember one scene where the man from a couple manages to escape to the shed, lights a match to look around, it burns down to his fingers, he lights another one and an infected woman is standing behind him.
Edited by loracarolopenTop down computer RPG Videogame
When I was way younger, this could very easily be 10 years ago by now, we had this top down 2D RPG on our old computer. Unfortunately, all I remember about it today is that there was a green snake/lizard character who I thought was the coolest thing, so I used the game editor we had to turn the entire party into clones of this one character. I never got far enough into the game to get any of the plot because I was dreadful at playing it. I know it isn't much to go on, but any help would be appreciated!
openFilm about infected people living in a non-infected society.
Have anyone see or heard this film? The film about a guy, who along with others is a infected zombie, tried to live in a normal life in a non-infected human society after been reconcile. There's also a woman and a boy she's looking after living in the same area as the protagonist, and another infected, who want the protagonist join his rebel against the people who treat them terrible. Does anyone know the name of this name?
openStrange Radio Song I Heard Music
During a road trip in 2023, I tuned in to All India Radio and came across a segment on 'Western Music'. There was a song playing that had a refrain that went something like "You don't play at night". Although I don't remember all the lyrics, I recall that the second half of the song had a pseudo-rap form and incorporated some disco(?) music.
openShow about (Mexican?) bugs living in a desert. Western Animation
I vaguely remember there was an animated show in the 90's about bugs living in the desert with a Tex-Mex feel. It is NOT Santo Bugito, because the colors used in the show were more neutral and natural and it didn't have singing in it. Does anyone else remember it?
openmale artist in movie backlot? Music
I'm trying to remember a pop/dance music video - Male singer - Could be a band, but only one artist is featured in the actual video - He's dancing and interacting with movie props and equipments in a movie backlot - E.g. artificial rain, camera cranes etc. - The actual decor seems to be mostly a western movie of some sort - Actors in costume and movie technicians are constantly moving in and out of the picture - This is NOT the Universal Studios Hollywood backlot (i.e. not Why don't you get a job)
I can only remember a part of one episode. A character shoots red lightning from their hands, and stumbles while trying to control it. They were wearing purple, and had light orange hair.
