You know about this? Might be worth a looksy. Or at least the Saving Zelda essay that pre-empted it.

I love R.E.M. Also, I never missed an episode of Futurama.

I played Zelda on NES, but I didn’t have the SNES.

[...] Journey Through the Past: The 1990s – And finally, our old friend Philip J. Reed has written an appreciation of some 1990s cultural artifacts, including this excellent take on “22 Short Films About Springfield”: Coming at a time when The Simpsons could genuinely do no wrong, “22 Short Films About Springfield” reads like a time-capsule today.

I *loved* a Link To The Past. SNES was the best console by far; I never even bought an N64 or PS2 and I barely had time for my Wii b/c my daughter was born 3 months after I got it. But yeah, a couple years ago i bought all my favorite classic games on eBay and played Link To The Past, Mega Man 2, and Tecmo Super Bowl like I was 10 again. Brought back a lot of memories.

Also, I liked R.E.M.’s ‘Monster’ for the exact reasons that most people hated it. I’ve never been a fan because they’re too light and folky, but that album was kinda rockin’.

Great list!

1997 – Time Out of Mind
