I'm going for the S1 DVD-ROM game...

This is so 90s. I don't think I've smiled so much all week.

NOOO

Fellas there's something missing here... :(

I can't get the game to work at the moment, but I shall leave you with more screenshots.

I'm not going to give up. I can't give up. Not as long as the truth game is out there.

Hello

I am a new fan and do not know about the ten minute post existence hug. Would love to though. :)

Hello and welcome! So my smooshy lil brain seems to have misremembered/exaggerated this piece of Gillovny lore cos it was a 5-min hug (which is still a long time to embrace someone actually). As I said y'day, people in the vicinity of David and Gillian can and have given insight into them as people and their working relationship. This particular bts story is told by veteran XF director Kim Manners (RIP) on the audio commentary for "Existence." A helpful fan has cut it together (see below) with Manners' finale reflections on "The Truth", the M/S relationship and David and Gillian's relationship. This part is also pertinent to the previous ask I responded to. He too describes David and Gillian's relationship as being like a marriage. But marriage takes work. It has ups and downs that, if negotiated in good faith, yield great rewards. Anyway, I will let him tell it. Enjoy...

Some extra XF lore: as a new fan you may not know that Manners was parodied (affectionately) by Duchovny in "Hollywood AD" (the director of the movie yells "kick it in the ass!" which was Manners' fave phrase. Apparently, despite his last name he was quite sweary. Darin Morgan's Detective "Bleep" Manners is an earlier and more obvy homage). Manners has since passed away and you can see a headstone for him in the graveyard scene in 10.03. Mulder takes a moment to pay his respects. Manners directed the most (or second most ??) XF episodes of any of their regular directors.

*** Edited to say: I found the 10 min source! I knew I'd seen it recently! And it's in print so let's call it the definitive version:

Physical media haul from the thrift today! Ft my little brother haha

[skelavender]

ladies and gentlemen and others, after a truly horrific day, i impulsively hopped off the bus early to go into a used dvd/games/music store and ended up rewarded with the glory of a $5 dvd of the x files: fight the future. i have been repaired

[j1gsawz]

absolute win at the thrift store today!! they had every season of lost but i only got s1 & s2 in favor of also getting the first two seasons of the x-files. sadly txf s2 is missing a disc but oh well. also the lost boxsets are GORGEOUS and still had all the original pamphlets in them (see below cut). all this for only $14, 25 discs in total :) (would've been 26 without the missing x-files disc 💔)

the first two are just the episode guides for both seasons but the second one is so cool to me!! i wish shows still had official fanclubs and magazines and stuff like that (ik doctor who still has an official magazine which i LOVE and own a few issues of. i also have two copies of the official x-files magazine from when the show was still running!!)

Shoutout my mom for keeping literally All my DVDs because now I can rewatch The X-Files for free

[salvadorbonaparte]

It's so annoying I bought a vpn/antivirus combo and it can't even handle the 1 streaming service I wanted it to handle and now I can't watch what I pay for for my family

[prettyflyshyguy]

Soooooo I was doomscrolling yt shorts again and this incredibly handsome man popped up and I had to furiously search the comments section on what he's from and sure enough: Surprise bitch, he's from The Strain tv show you never finished!!!! God dammit!!!! Better get back onto that sometime

[desirableendings]

The X-Files’ Pilot has everything. Alien abductions. Scary woods. The pinnacle of nineties fashion. Rainy sexual tension. David Duchovny looking like that. Family drama. A tragic backstory. Graveyard digging? And the most interesting choices for practical effects.

One interesting difference between these 'original airing' DVDs (left) and my streaming source (right) that I noticed right away is that they have different crops- click the screenshots to view this fully- and slightly different colourings.

If you look at the folders on the table in the bottom right, the original airing shows more, but they are more green-blue and beige rather than the purple-blue and pink of the stream, which shows less. Also, the stream is just generally lighter: look at the door and filing cabinet areas.

I wonder what the original crop was when it was filmed, as one of these is not a zoom-in of the other, it literally has new and different information.

The DVD version is also significantly lower quality than the stream, though this doesn't really come across in my already low-quality screenshots :')

09/04/24: I know I'm always repeating myself, but today, it was definitely a great day at the Wednesday fleamarket! Once again, the hot weather kept many sellers away. But the few left had great stuff! My first purchase was the whole series of the 90s TV show X-files. On bluray and sealed! I would've gladly paid $20+ for it. But when the fellow said $10 dollars, I happily paid the man. Moving on, I found another stall with quite a bit of videogames. The guy had complete consoles and his prices were fair enough. I could've bought a lot. But I wanna give others a chance too. So I posted on FB locally to friends of the stuff they had. But I did leave with nice things, too. For $31 bucks I found a classic horror cinema of Europe from the Silent Era. Made by Kino video; two manga: Dragon Ball Super and Super Mario; Super Mario Bros 2 3DS; and Lost Judgement Xbone. At another spot, I then came across an SNES mini classic for $25! It doesn't have the original plug. But that doesn't matter. It's a good price. Then I found for $12 bucks a walking dead ps3 game and the original Halloween on dvd. Since the fleamarket was smaller this week, I decided to go around a second time, in case I missed something. And good thing I did. I went back to where I got the X-Files discs and I found a huge red book! An encyclopedia of the Simpsons TV series! I checked online and it's an expensive book. So I had to get it. And I lucked out again as the guy said $10 for it too! I got some costly internet items for a bargain! I'm a happy person!
