#80's gold

[freetheshit-outofyou]

Mutant Hunt (1987), tonight's bedtime movie. "The future is a dirty place...When New York is besieged by mutant cyborgs with an insatiable lust for ripping human beings apart, it's dedicated mutant hunter Matt Riker to the speedy rescue! A diabolical scientist, "Z" has injected these mechanical zombies with a sexual narcotic that induces a thirst for killing. All over Manhattan, the robotic Romeos begin loving 'em and leaving 'em...dead."

Totally accurate description.

If you had a Commodore 64, you were guaranteed to have 2 racing games in your collection: Pole Position and Out Run. Released to arcades in 1988 by Sega, nice graphics, gameplay and a bangin' soundtrack (which I've treated you to above!) helped to quickly make it popular, resulting in a conversion to multiple platforms, the C64 port being picked up by U.S. Gold. The cars in the game are modeled after their real life counterparts, a 1972 Volkswagen Beetle, 1971 Chevrolet Corvette, 1985 Porsche 911, and a 1985 BMW 325i Cabriolet E30. The first release of Out Run also included a cassette of the music from the original arcade version.

Posted this on twitter but it applies here, too. Also a plug to I guess follow me on twitter if you want - I'm not super active there insofar as posting goes, but I'm on there a lot (more than I ought to be, tbh).

Anyway I'm posting this partly to share but mostly bc I have things to say about it and I want to come back to it without it getting lost in my brainpan.

After stealing a ton of money from retirees, this man was murdered on live TV via bayonet.

I'm not joking.

Do you think Gold can get as tall as Vanilla?

Oof, I must say I find that very hard to imagine, haha! But I think that is mostly because Vanilla is so staggeringly tall compared to the other characters, though I can't find an official height for her on the wiki. Though, I figure she is that tall to indicate that she is An Adult™ as a contrast to the generally-smaller teenagers/young adults around her with Sonic as baseline of 1 meter, Big and Vector non-withstanding. While the rest of the cast will probably grow more, especially the ones with a single-digit age, it is very hard for me to imagine any of them reaching Vanilla's length, basically. Adding to that the fact that Gold herself is also insanely tall for a 15-year-old if we take Sonic as baseline again, I feel like having her become even taller would perhaps be odd, though that is entirely on me. I see no reason why she could not from a genetics standpoint or something like that, though!

I've wanted an Auryn necklace since I was a kid.

And you must hurry, Atreyu. The Nothing grows stronger every day. Take this. The AURYN. He who wears the AURYN speaks for the Empress. It will guide and protect you.
