Without him we wouldn’t have this banger.

Blockbuster was meh. I missed my local movie rental joint that was next to a Chinese take-out.

Used to be a ritual every other Friday for the spouse and I to order food than walk around the video store well we waited. We used to walk past the weird obscure tapes and come up with fake silly stories about what they were about and look at the goofy covers. Most times we’d rent something unexpectedly good, typically not from the new releases. I never really watch TV sitcoms, so I consumed most of my media this way. The magic was that multi-million dollar media companies didn’t pick what was available on their stream. The selection at the video store was more eclectic and not some sterile selection of just money makers. So I got to see some really good, not so popular, films.

Also they still had VHS when Blockbuster converted DVD and fairly sure they bought all the old VHS tapes from that conversion. DVDs were still fairly new, so I only had a VCR. Yes, I rewound the tapes.

2 days? Pfft the US gets bricked up after 2 hours.

The ultimate solution.

Calm down Satan

I shut mine down by overheating it.

Once you remove the tag the ancient protection seal is broken. Without it the monster that lives under your bed is now allowed on your bed. The monster doesn’t eat you or anything. The monster likes to warm it’s cold feet on your back and steal all the covers, so it’s a terrible sleeping partner.
