What Can't You Find On The Internet?

sleepingbag i think i played the game you're talking about and liked it too, was it set (at least partly) in a graveyard or something like that? and by exploring with your possibly invisible character you left the traces of discovered pixels onscreen so a map gradually formed?

Thanks, LBI. That was the one.

is there a website that is good for cataloging 00's internet games like that?

jayisgames.com has been reviewing browser games since 2003 (not all of them, obviously, but a lot of them) so might be a starting point, but I don't know how you'd begin to find the game - I had a quick Google for games reviewed there with a few phrases like "black and white" but didn't find anything which looks right

sleepingbag, it wasn't Loneliness was it? can't play it om my phone but looks similar to your description

not working properly at work but the title screen looked familiar

Video of a Japanese MMA fighter who wins his fight and dedicates the victory to a kitten who'd wandered into his life just weeks earlier, but who got sick and died before the fight. He leaves the ring and heads back to his locker room shouting the kitten's name through tears. It's amazing, especially to a worshiper of cats like me. The kitten's name is something close to "Chikuwa". Can't find it anywhere.

"Loneliness" isn't the game i'm thinking of, it turns out

ooh discussion!

yah 'loneliness' def isn't it. it actually had an aesthetic kinda similar to this game Minit that just came out, but more diffuse

yooo i def used to find all these kinds of games from this site back in the day! good chance i found this one there too, it's probably on there somewhere... it seems to be realllly close to impossible to browse or search with any precision though :(

OH SHIT i searched for 'artifacts' and it came up!

woohoo thx guys!

yay!

trying to find the name of / photos from some ancient movie theater located in Lawrenceville, GA in the 80/90s. last time i was over in the area (~15 years ago) it was where the Phoenix High School is now.

feel like this is an impossible task cos there are so many movie theaters to search but it would be super sweet in a nostalgic way. i remember seeing so many movies as a young kid here, even ROTJ, i remember a Pac Man neon sign, etc. all super cliche stuff i know but finding the name of this one movie theater would make my life.

Was it the Lawrenceville Cinema Four?

Went off from this conversation about a cinema with only four theaters and eventually wound up here.

Yeah, I saw somebody on this page for a theater in Stone Mountain mentions in passing that "I was a manager in the late 90s for Cineplex Odeon corp. Doug Sides was my district manager and I was just 17 years old managing the Lawrenceville Cinema Four (dollar house)" but it doesn't seem like that theater's on the site

The theater I saw ROTJ at was turned into a Gold's Gym.

thanks for pointing out that Looming game, sleepingbag, I enjoyed it

(and stayed up past my bedtime being completist about it, so I hope nobody asks me anything difficult at work today. zzz)

an honest man

woah Cinema Four, it was not that. i had no idea there was a drive in! must have closed before i was old enough to know.

thanks for that link! will look around cinematreasures =)

tbf it's a tough search cos there is a dollar cinema over there still in operation i believe (i saw "Hustle & Flow" there in late 2005). this dollar cinema i went to for a TMNT birthday party when that came out. i remember it was next to an arcade called Great Games. not the og theater im looking for though. and right down the street is a huge AMC.

it's kind of crazy how many movie theaters pop up and go away over the years.

this is the dollar theater i was talking about. this entrance photo is some powerful personal nostalgia. one of the users comments is asking about the theater im looking for but they don't know heh. still, im on the trail...

the altered images video that is a parody of the prisoner; mysteriously disappeared as if taken to a remote island for interrogation...

THERE IS NO GOOD QUALITY RIP OF CAMEO'S ALLIGATOR WOMAN VIDEO

Lately I've been thinking about a pair of online diaries that I remember reading around 1999-2001, some time in that range. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact names of the diaries or who wrote them, so Google proves pretty unhelpful, as you can see below. Anybody remember either of these?

1. Diary of High School Nerd - pretty sure this was pretty close to the right name, but now all I can see to find are links to High School Musical fanfic. This was a kid who self-described as a comedy nerd, over the course of it I believe he either transferred from a religious school to a public one or vice versa. I think the guy who wrote it went on to do some comedy writing on the web at one point.

2. Diary of a 40 Year Old Virgin - not sure on the exact title, but it was close to this. It way predated the Steve Carrell movie, which has since made it really hard to search for. The guy was in his 40s and a huge gym rat, but he mostly wrote about his struggles dating and meeting women.

helpful folks itt helped me find the virgin one pretty quickly, but i still think about the comedy nerd one a lot and wish i could find it.

THERE IS NO GOOD QUALITY VERSION OF THAT CRUZADOS SONG THAT OPENS UP ROADHOUSE ON THE INTERNET

THANK YOU!

This isn't really something I can't find on the internet so much as something that I haven't been able to find using the internet so far. It's a late 60's or early 70's movie with a similar vibe to Putney Swope, or the Magic Christian, and the only part I can remember is a seemingly doddering butler mumbling to himself about how he is a sleeper cell in class warfare. It goes on for a while, so that it's kind of a monologue rather than just a bit of incidental dialogue. Does that ring a bell to anyone?

Sounds like it could be "The Ruling Class"

I think that's it, thanks!

Ah, here it is:

That's the thanks you get. He's the same as all the rest.

They don't know about me.

A lot they don't know about Daniel Tucker.

I don't know if this is the right thread BUT:

Where can I stream the entire series of 'I dream of Jeannie' and 'Bewitched'??

zooqle was ok last time I checked, tbp still runs

Back in the late 90s, there was a fairly popular site called "Jesus of the Day", where the person of who ran the site posted photos of kitschy/funny/weird Jesus images and statues, one per day, each one accompanied with a humourous comment. The site itself hasn't existed in years, but I wonder if it's archived anywhere? Can't look it up on Wayback Machine, cos I have no memory of what the URL for the site was.

a friend of mine had this LP and busted it out at a party once and it blew everyone's mind. amazing psychedelic 60's swamp garage country music.

i've only found this used record for sale and it's $170. there are a few tracks on youtube but i want to hear the full record again.

Early 70s (?) UK public information film which features a long haired man who get his hair caught in some machinery. Needless to say, quite gruesome.

El Looks - Whole Lotta Love cover as mentioned in the Wire August 2018 Invisible Jukebox - described by one Edan Portsmouth as "the best shit he's heard all day". I can't even find it mentioned anywhere on the internet let alone hear it.

"El Pooks" stoopid fat fingers.

a skit that aired between programs on Nickelodeon between ≈ 1997 and 1999. a food fight breaks out in a school cafeteria, but all the kids stop what they're doing and shut up when a preppy girl climbs on a table, says "check this!", and performs a slam poem/rap to the effect of "I don't even care that y'all got mashed potatoes on my Limited Too cardigan, but can't we all just get along and be more mature?", peppering her speech with weird archaic slang (I'm pretty sure she calls her clothes "duds"). it wasn't as ubiquitous as the Muzzy commercial, but for a while it seemed to air after just about every show

I hope someone can help me out here (even if it's just to say "I remember this!") because I don't wanna have to take this to reddit

About a year or two (or three) ago I read an article/blog post about a mum who was addicted to using her baby tracker/breastfeeding app far past the point of it being useful. I can't find it anywhere - I feel like the author was someone from the Awl or the Hairpin or somewhere like that? Someone a bit cool perhaps. Trying to find it is making me really angry at Google for finding results for things I AM NOT SEARCHING FOR

the ad for Rax (an fast food restaurant in the USA) in the late 80s/early 90s with the song “the house that Rax built” to the tune of “the house that Jack built”
