A person who dubs Vocaloid songs into English Music
There was this person on YouTube that sang Japanese Vocaloid songs and dubbed them into English? They also did covers of those already in English.
Unknown Horror Anthology Series Live Action TV
Ok, so what I remember from this is the episode revolved around a NYC (I think) coroner, or medical examiner, who identifies bodies for the police, I believe. And he lives alone in this big apartment, but every time he comes home he hears his neighbors arguing, and one night the woman comes to his door very distraught and he lets her in and they end up getting to know each other and have a passionate love affair (over the course of a few weeks, not just one day), and he keeps coming home and hearing her argue with her boyfriend, or husband, and then she keeps coming over for help and he is like acting as her protector or something, and finally he can't hear her arguing anymore, she stops coming around, and he gets the landlord to open the apartment, but he tells him it's empty, and opens it anyway, and it is empty. So guy is confused now, and doesn't know what is going on, then the next day he find the woman's body has shown up in the morgue or wherever the bodies go that need identifying, and that's about it. Creepy twist. The show, I'm very certain, is a horror anthology show in which each episode is its own story, but it might also have been split with another episode. It's too slow and drawn out to be something like Tales from the Crypt. I think the time frame for its release was between the late 90's and 2010's sometime, but I am only guessing because I don't remember if there were any smart phones in it.
Murdered cat turns into human for revenge (solved!) Literature
This would be a very old Gothic novel—I remember it having one of those great painted covers of a woman in a flowing white gown in front of a big spooky house—probably from between 1940s and 1960s. The premise is that, for whatever reason, one of the villain's particularly cruel acts is killing a cat by dropping it down a well. Then a mysterious, beautiful woman with green catlike eyes shows up and starts systematically ruining the villain's whole life and exposing every terrible thing he's ever done, with the strong implication that the woman is in fact the cat, come back for revenge. The title of the book may have been the woman's or the cat's name.
Edited by BergamotA sci fi topdown game about a multiverse? Videogame
It's an action/roguelike/RPG on pixel art that looks like Hyper Light Drifter but it's plot is about various worlds fusing and the gameplay its like Diablo, the protagnists are a bunch of aliens or something like that, thats all i remember, the game is pretty new so. Does someone knows the name or heard of the game?
early 2000's Scify fps Videogame
I remember someone playing a game as a kid on a computer that had better graphics than anything I've seen at the time. I remember metallic rooms and interesting looking gun designs. I don't remember there being any fighting in the rooms he traveled through, but I think he showed me a couple of the weapons on empty rooms he traveled through, maybe he cleared them before. I think there was some kind of gun that launched deadly disc blades. I think there were some windows in one of the rooms that had some Nevada-type desert landscape with mountains or something but it could have just been sunlight with no landscape visible underneath, could have filled in some blanks in my memory and assumed it involved aliens,but I don't really know for sure. I expected to experience a fun weapon like this in the Halo series, being a Scifi series with aliens, but it didn't have the interesting futuristic guns I remembered so it's not that. Anyone got any ideas? The main console out at the time that I knew of was the N64 and the reflections seemed beyond that system's capabilities from what I remember, and I had a couple games that required it that were out at the time too: Jet Force Gemini and Donkey Kong 64.
It could be possible that I remember the graphics being better than they were though, but I think it was probably a PC game.

Edited by Amiibearsinks, magic portal, no eyes, and new orleans? Film
When i was little, we watched a movie on comcast on demand (god i feel old) it was a movie that contained the following (please forgive my disjointed memory):
so this kid is walking along the streets of new orleans and comes across this old man. tries to sell him something and the kid runs away. stranger danger.
there are two to three siblings living in a big house in new orleans. One of them finds a magical portal underneath what i think is a kitchen sink. They come across an eyeless man who freaks them out. they then are taken into the charismatic arms of this long haired bearded charismatic villain who tries to take the boys eyes. He escapes and joins the rebels or some shit...it makes less sense in context. Then his sister shows up and the villain decides to keep the whole "i'mma take your eyes" thing on the down low.
remember the old man from the beginning? he appears outside of the house and waves his magic stick around (a literal stick, dont worry) and then all is resolved in the house.
it makes no god damned sense but my siblings asked if i remembered it. My little brother got really scared at the scene where they're about to take his eyes out. he ran away crying. he's a doctor now.
Awful wedded birds Western Animation
Does anyone know this cartoon. I'm sure it was a animated short from the Golden Age of Animation. Maybe from Merrie Melodies. It is about a female bird who seems to be married and her husband abuses her. I'm not sure what happened, but I think she managed to make some good business and at the end she is able to keep the house, and ends up getting her husband out, or maybe reversing the roles and her abusing him.
An anime of a guy(or woman) who changed bodies at midnight Anime
I don't remember if it was a Gender Bender deal like on Ranma 1/2 but i (barelly)remember the protagonist changed genders at midnight and it was something of a spy series, sorry if i could remember more info i would put it but my memory isn't helping right now.
Finding a character
Hi!
I was wondering if a character who has all or most of these traits actually exists:
1. Shapeshifting (maybe)
2. Astral projection (definitely!)
3. Creating something in the astral plane that links two souls (said item can weaken a person if removed until the other person can nullify the effect)
Show about tech
I remember this one show that I watched a while ago. It was about these two (either friends or brothers). One liked modern tech and the other liked older ways. I really want to rewatch, so if you guys know can you tell me?
Comedy starting with instructional video. Film
I saw the beginning of a movie that starts with a man following recorded instructions to put together a recent purchase. I think it was a hot tub.
And it might have been Larry the Cable Guy. Someone like that.
Toy balls that unlocked aliens on a website
In like 2010 or around that time I had this little ball with a code on it that could be used to unlock an alien character on a website. As I remember there were like 100 different characters that could only be unlocked by buying the ball with the right code.
No Title
Okay here’s an oddball. I vividly remember this Disney special that was a montage of the classic films. It must have been from like the 1970s because I don’t remember any 2000s or 90s films in it. I remember that there was section of villains laughing and roaring and for some reason the Bear from that Little Hiawatha short was among them (don’t know why I remember him being in there specifically, I think I just found his inclusion strange). Surely someone knows what the montage film was called.
Edited by Fiveycartoon show i'm trying to remember the name of Western Animation
i watched this on okto in singapore around 2012-13 i think, and the main characters were these 2 siblings, a boy and a girl (twins?) and their cousin, a boy, and they all would skate home from school. the girl had red hair i think and she would tie it up in 3 pigtails. their grandpa would pick them up every afternoon and on the way home they would ask him a question. the 2 siblings are very obedient but their cousin is mischievous. they also have a pet cat at home. later, they will teleport to another location to find the answer to their questions by spinning a globe while singing a song. i remember in one episode they learnt about turtles and swam in the sea. they ended up with red, teary eyes because of the salt in the ocean. in another episode, their cousin was warned not to disturb the animals at the zoo or safari but he didn't listened and angered a gorilla. at the end of every trip, they would play a slideshow of the pictures they took for their grandpa. i remember all the details but i just can't remember the name, please help me!
Powerful Woman in Red Live Action TV
I have no recollection of when, but I remember seeing several clips of a show where I think it was 2 men conversing with this one older-ish lady wearing a red dress. In one scene, one of the men was talking to the lady. She might have had some special powers, because her voice reverberated when saying the word "sexual", as I think they were discussing some sort of sexual harassment lawsuit. Another moment of that scene, the lady asked the man if he liked being called Richie, because that was what his mother called him. The clip ended with a weird foot fetish moment, where the lady removed her high heel and told the man to come over to it.
early-mid 2000s teen show w ginger lead Film
the plot followed a famous male actor coming to the small town the lead girl lived in and everyone obsessing over him, while the main girl found him obnoxious. she ends up sneaking into one of his movie sets for whatever reason and finds out that he's super rude and hates the costar of his film. by the end of the movie, the actor guy and the main girl are best friends. i remember it being a disney channel-esqe movie aimed at younger girls, probably ages 8-12. it was on netflix sometime most likely in the early/mid 2010s. for some reason i prominently remember the main girl being a ginger—i wasn't used to main characters being redheads, methinks?
(SOLVED) Novel or film: Kid plays VR videogame, makes his abusive dad the bad guy Literature
Something I remember reading in the 90s (or maybe very early 2000s), it was in print form but illustrated with photos, so it might have been adapted from a movie.
It was about a boy playing a Virtual Reality videogame for escapism, and getting lost in it to the point that back in real life he'd believe he's still in the game.
The game could be customized to put photos of people on the head of NPCs and enemies; he put his abusive father's face on the game's Big Bad, which made his real-life relapse particularly bad: The kid ends up trying to kill his father with a sword.
The videogame's Big Bad was named Zoltan, but that was in French, so if this media came out in another language the name might have been changed.
Edit: I think I've found it: A 1996 French Made-for-TV Movie called Génération Vidéo (so as I suspected the text
◊ was a novelization thereof).
Edit 2: I've even found a review in English! As you can see, the New Media Are Evil and You Can Panic Now are strong with this one.
Kid's Show Thing (solved)
I can give a physical description of the characters. Our host so to say is a black guy with glasses and an afro wearing basically all orange, however the show is focused on his toys (five in total). There a guy that looks like a humanoid cactus if they were red and a cyclops, another is a pink kinda pear shaped girl with some white around her neck and a daisy on her head, and the last that I remember is a green striped furry guy with three red triangles at the crown of his head. The toys are on a stage type thing with five equal sections, one for each toy. Afro guy kinda just helps them out from behind the stage. The target demographic sis probably 2-5.
