    I'm in. I liked the vibe....Your take on it is perfect for how that trailer felt.

    I thought this thread read 8-Bit Christians. I was disappointed to read Christmas afterwards.

    I am out until after Christmas.

    Started out fun until there was no monster, not even Mario and Luigi.:p

    And then they re-made Home Alone.

    Nostalga for middle aged people to bore their children with.

    "You'll shoot your eye out", but kids dont play outside with dangerous toys anymore.

    Thoughts and prayers for all the 12 year olds with no reference to anything forced to watch this by their parents.

    I don't know. Based on my 14 year old daughter and her friends, kids are pretty hard into the '80's right now.

    So....when does the supernatural/sci-fi Stranger Things stuff come in? Is that a spoiler?



    Getting an NES was the best gift and best Christmas of my life. After years of Christmas letdowns, my parents finally nailed it.

    Right, and I never had to watch A Christmas Story growing up and pretend like it wasn't 1912.

    CAN confirm. My 14 year old twins are going to lose their f***ing minds over this.

    Hell yeah TOTALLY making my 11 year old watch this over the holidays while I regale him with stories of how Gyromite sucked and how ****ing angry that laughing dog could make you while playing Duck Hunt.

    It’s not -that- bad. It’s a serviceable attempt at a Gen-X Christmas Story. But it’s not a yearly tradition.
