Jagged Aliance, X-Com and Master of Magic. Not a bad year.

Man, Wing Commander and Gin and Juice really deserve better company.

1994 is the year where, when something came out, I'd refer to it as 'new' and it would be forever 'new to me. As in, I still think of Monster as R.E.M.'s new album, because it came out after Automatic for the People, which was the first CD I ever owned.

Windows 95 at 4:28. Not that I'm being picky or anything; this is cool stuff

Speaking of Monster, has critical opinion come around on that one yet? I mean, following up a masterpiece like Automatc... is never easy, but I never got the hate for that album. I loved it unreservedly. Still do.

It's grown on me over the years, and now it's in my regular album rotation.

In other 1994 news: Vitalogy is still the dark horse choice for best Pearl Jam album.

I ended up following the REMEMBER link and then watched 1986, when I was 16. OMG the feels.

I was surprised to see Sensible Soccer, System Shock and the woefully terrible Rise Of The Robots in there.

Am I completely fucking insane, or did I not see a clip of Beverly Hills 90210 in that video?

Yep, this is almost exactly when I stopped paying attention to pop culture. So it all still feels current to me!

I graduated from high school in 1994.
