A few video games I vaguely remember from long ago Videogame

There are 3 particular games that I remember watching but not necessarily playing from a ways back, but I never found out what they were. My memory of them is very hazy but I'll try my best to describe them accurately.

The first game was on either N64 or PS 1. I'm pretty sure it was a first-person shooter. The level I remember was some sort of office-ish building with an elevator with a green light. There was a woman who kept following the player who didn't attack but was apparently an enemy(I think the guy playing referred to her as an Evil Twin). Eventually the guy playing cornered the woman in a room and melee'd her(apparently other forms of attack didn't work). It was unintentionally funny because the cheap blood effects made it look like she had incredibly rosy cheeks.

The second game was on the PS 2 and I think the guy playing it said he was at the finale, which took place in a Colosseum-like place. It may have been a Prince of Persia game, or at least something with a similar style. When the hero got to the end the villain(some Pope or priest guy) got so spooked he slipped over the edge to his death. The actual Final Boss then appeared, who was some 12-foot tall evil god/demigod with violet energy waves.

The third and final game was something I played at an electronics store, either on PS 2 or OG Xbox. I think it may have been a third-person shooter. The game, or at least the level I played, took place in what appeared to be some kind of house filled with toys. It was not clear to me if the heroine was supposed to be a doll or if she was a human woman who had been shrunk.

Movie involving talking cockroaches. Film

I cannot remember the name of a film I saw (some of) back in my earlier years. It involved a guy and a bunch of talking cockroaches.

Another scene I remember clearly was the opening scene. In said scene, the guy we follow gets mugged three times in a row by the same criminal, all Played for Laughs.

Anime where a woman is forced to drink a poison that slowly turns her into a cat. Anime

Not too long ago I found an ecchi anime that took place in a pseudo-feudal Japanese setting, and the 3rd season started with a high-ranked woman(I think she may have been a general?) being betrayed/usurped and force fed a poison. She survives, but finds that she is slowly transforming into a cat, starting with a pair of cat ears. She is distraught, especially since the cat girls in this setting are part of a Barbarian Tribe and she does not want to be confused for one of them. She enlists the heroes to gather the ingredients for the antidote, which takes up most of the episodes and includes bizarre things such as an elephant's belly button lint. By the time the heroes get back, the woman has shrunk significantly and now has paws and a tail. She takes the antidote and is restored to normal, but she still has the cat ears.

Aside from the plot summary, I seem to recall the 3rd season being an Oddly Named Sequel. When I saw it originally, the title was untranslated, so it's possible that it has since been translated, which would explain my difficulty finding it.

Point and click adventure with two main characters? Videogame

Saw this maybe like 5 years ago. It has this one girl who dresses up in a nice dress to be a sacrifice to this huge metal alien thing and this boy who lives alone in a spaceship. And it turns out the thing is the spaceship that the boy lives in.

A stat building game based around music Videogame

There was this web game that might have been called Rock Band Game or Rockstar Game (naturally trying to Google got me Rock Band and Rockstar Games, but both are unrelated). It was a text only game - you would come up with a band name, then have them "practice", play concerts, and make albums- the more you practice, the better your albums are and the bigger concerts you play. You'd get to pick a set amount of song titles for "albums", and the songs would get a number rating next to them. I want to find it to see if it's still playable (doubtful) or if the fake bands and albums are still archived somewhere so I can maybe find my old one.

Black widow femslash Literature

A long time ago, I read some fanfiction from fanfiction.net that shipped black widow with Maria Hill. I think it was called "When Maria met natasha". It may have vanished from the internet, but I'd appreciate it if any of you could find it.

"MAD" Men parody Western Animation

I remember a cartoon (likely something on network TV, but it could have been a Youtube thing) that has a sketch parodying Mad Men, by portraying the offices of Mad Magazine as a cigarettes-and-misoginy sixties office, including a spoof of the intro with the MAD mascot, Alfred P. Neumann, falling down a bunch of skyscrapers.

Can't be too old, anyone knows it?

Asian gender bender drama Live Action TV

The protagonist has to pretend she's a boy until she's 24 because of what a psychic said before she was born. But she ends up saving this mafia dude from an attack so they become blood brothers or something except she's a girl and fell in love with him. I believe it is/was available on Netflix.

cartoon episode

I remember on cartoon episode where one character races with the other character to the meeting place. When one of them gets there first, the other appears to be an elderly version of himself complete with a long beard. Only for him to take it off and reveal it is a trick and he made it first. I think that might be from Spongebob, Ed, Edd & Eddy, or something else. I don't know.

Did I dream this or did it really happen? Western Animation

I was thinking about it while half-asleep last night, so maybe I'd just dreamt it up, but it might exist, so here goes.

It's a cartoon, definitely, and I think it might have been an episode of The Loud House if it did exist, because it involved a white-haired boy with an awful lot of sisters and no brothers.

The scene I was wondering about was the sisters all dressing up as the brother (orange shirts and blue jeans) to apologise for something or to communicate what a good brother he was or whatever. One of them was a baby and one of them was a practical joker and made a lot of puns.

School Bus Hijacking Movie Film

School bus driving at night full of kids and a male bus driver. A couple men hijack the bus and shoot the driver in the head and his blood is all over the inside of the bus. All the kids are screaming and crying and begging for their lives. The hijackers tie all the kids hands together and duct tape their mouths and lead them off the bus. I remember a little black girl with her hair in two buns the most. I think she was wearing a red shirt and jeans shorts. The men take all the kids into a house and leave them there and that's all I remember.

Villain is evil because he has no friends Western Animation

There was some cartoon I remember where I only saw one episode but I remember there was this villain who seemed to just be evil for no reason, but we eventually find out it's because he has no friends and the heroes somehow create another creature like him to be his friend, at which point he does a Heel–Face Turn. I remember the villain was humanoid but had green skin and a bulbous nose and his friend creature looked kinda like a skinnier version of him.

Space Rebuilding Type Show

There was a show a few years back, sometime in the 2000s or 2010s. It was about a species of aliens or something and I think their planet had been damaged and they were rebuilding it. It was definitely educational because there were live-action segments in what was an otherwise animated show. At the end when the "job" was done small fragments of the planet, or whatever it was, were pulled back together and was slowly rebuilt. One weirdly specific thing I remember was that there was a riddle "how long is half a piece of string?" "twice as long as half a piece of string". I'm not sure if it was on CBBC or Cbeebies or if it was an international production they got rights too. Pls help.

A Girl Dreams of Spider-Man

I don't know if this was an official or a fan work, but there was this one short comic where there's this impoverished girl who admired Spider-Man from afar, collecting newspaper clippings and always having a smile on her face when she saws him in action.

She's later seen dreaming about flying with Spider-Man, only for the scene to cut to Peter standing over her body, lamenting that he swung by the alley in which she lived every day.

Does anyone know what I'm talking about? And no, this is not The Boy who Collects Spider-Man.

X-files type show. Early ‘80s Live Action TV

I have vague memories of a show from the early ‘80s that was like the X-files in that the main characters investigated reports of aliens. I don’t recall them being police or government. There was one MC I don’t remember much about but he worked with a rather scruffy character who I believe knew all about the alien reports. The only scene I remember is they were in a car and a spaceship with lights flies over. The alien expert had a build like a short middle aged Andrew Mc Carthy. The only show like it from the era I’ve found is Kolchak, but I am sure he wasn’t the MC.

Cartoon or animated movie. late 90s or early 00s? Western Animation

Hey all I have been struggling to find a particular cartoon Its been bugging me all night and now I am up at 3 o'clock writing this. I have very vague memory of it but there were a few scenes I remember. My mother had these cartoons on a DVD however I sadly cannot locate the disc. I am not sure as to whether it was separate episodes or just one episode.

The first thing I remember is a female [I am confident she's a mouse] in what I believe is an abandoned house [or if not a rich man’s house]and she goes around the house pretending to haunt it. A male character is than sent to the building [who I also believe is a mouse] to find out what's going on. The male character has an almost an sports commentator like voice. His features are hard to pinpoint but I am certain he is either a Gray or White mouse with black shoes and a detective like coat on and possibly a magnifying glass. I remember watching the male character walk into a room with a chair and a fireplace that was going and he becomes suspicious because no ones there them he walks past a suite of armor and eyes watch him through the armour then I don't remember much about it till later on in the episode when the armour is chasing the male character around the house and the armour wails as it chases him and then somehow the male character traps the suite of armour[or if that's not it it will be the armour comes off. Well anyway at the end of it I remember Seeing two policeman handcuffing the female character whilst the male character is on the left side of the screen and the police officers are saying something to him but I do not remember what.

the next two scenes I remember are not as detailed but the male character seems to be the main character.

The next thing I remember is the male[possibly mouse] standing in a stadium with a whole bunch of other characters but there is on character that's a friend of his that not a mouse and I am sure is blue. well anyways all the people in a white stadium cheering on a car which is passing them to their right.

the other thing I remember was a scene where it was raining then the male character turns off a tap or something and it starts raining.

Shirley Temple Doll Book Literature

Hi! Do the things from this book ring any bells for anyone? I read it when I was a kid several years ago (I think my mom got it from the thrift store) and it was kind of old then, but not super old—maybe 70s or 80s? I remember almost nothing about the protagonist, but I know a big part of the story was her making friends with a girl who ~might~ have been called Ellen. Two parts stand out to me: Ellen is Catholic, and as the two girls stand in her church she informally and suddenly baptizes the protagonist, which is strange for the MC, and the other is that at the end of the book the MC finds out that Ellen (who has moved away maybe?) is dead (maybe from being hit by a car?) and her brother tells her that while she was still alive, she really wanted to find a Shirley Temple doll to give the MC, as she felt bad for bullying the MC into giving away her Shirley Temple doll. Any thoughts? Thanks :)

Noisy alternative rock song, maybe from the late 80s/early 90s Music

I heard this song in a pizza parlor that I noticed plays all its music from old cassettes and it seemed like they were just playing a mix tape. The song sorta reminded me of Dinosaur Jr., but I don't think it was actually them because it didn't sound like either J Mascis or Lou Barlow singing lead. The one line that I remember was something like "have you been sleeping late because you've been abused?". Midtempo but with loud distorted guitars and a noisy guitar solo near the end. Music I did recognize on the same tape included Nirvana, Beat Happening and Flaming Lips if that helps pin down the era and genre any.

Boy who went to Jesus's time Live Action TV

Someone in a Facebook group posted this:

"In the 1990s, I came across an after-school program that was about a teen-age boy who'd broken his ankle. He then either dreamed or somehow was sent back to live during Christ's life, and his ankle injury had been changed to a permanent injury that made him need a walking stick. He and his friend were in the crowds during Christ's passion, and they fought their way to Jesus to give him a drink of water. Jesus looked right into the boy's eyes and said "Run <name>!" And the boy was cured and he and his friend ran off. I think the story returned to present day and I don't think the injury was healed but the boy had a better attitude."

mystery cartoon Western Animation

I'm looking for a cartoon about I think a smalltown reporter who solved supernatural mysteries with the help of three comedy relief ghost sidekicks. I remember the ghosts being afraid of water because they apparently suffered from wicked witch of the west disease and would melt.

Condo scene Film

There was a live-action movie I watched in high school, so it couldn't have been newer than the mid-2000s. All I remember is there's a scene where the white male protagonist is in a condo with a glass wall, I think overlooking a pool, at night. Then he opens a drawer and pulls out a small cardboard box (may have been bullets or cigarettes or something else).

Mad emperor that kills at night Literature

This emperor was paranoid about his safety because every night an unknown assassin would attack and kill his personal guard, leaving him alone alive. Every night new soldiers would be assigned. Few generals knew the truth and those that knew were afraid to act, for the assassin was the emperor himself who would awake in the middle of the night and kill the bodyguards. I think that otherwise the emperor acted as a sane and responsible ruler, but that might be just my flawed memory.

This wasn't the main plot of the book I was reading but was used to illustrate a point. I don't know if the main book is non-fiction or science fiction, but I'm more interested in this story than the book it appears in.

No Title Film

People where getting sick from unknown virus. They thought it was from homosexuals. Scientists discovered AIDS.

Song I can't remember the name of Music

The chorus very clearly included the line "I only ever dream in color", and there were some other lyrics that went "I don't mind, I don't mind, I don't mind" afterwards.

I'm pretty sure the name of the song was Dream In Color or some similar title, by an artist I forgot, but looking it up gives nothing.

Deconstruction of Superman movie Film

I think it was a movie. I remember seeing something about the plot being a man and a woman finding a baby in a rocked. The baby grows up and learns he has powers. Unfortunately he's not interested in using them for good. I'm not sure what it was called or if I got the plot right but I think that was the basic of it.
