By Devin
While Nintendo has been the lasting name for video games consoles we grew up playing, there are plenty of us old enough to remember when Atari was the brand to beat in the console wars.The company has certainly struggled in recent years, but thanks to the popularity of all things nostalgic, it looks like they're aiming to make a comeback.

9 Damn Fine Things You Need In Your Life If You're Obsessed With Twin Peaks

By Devin
One of the most wonderful things about the '90s has to be just how openly weird it was. Our movies were weird, our toys were bizarre, hell even our drinks were strange.

The Strange And Surprising History of Pogs

By Devin
Of all the fads that we were gifted in the '80s and '90s, the simplest and most colorful was undoubtedly pogs. Looking back on it now, it seems almost strange how we all became so obsessed with what were little more than small cardboard disks and plastic coins with pictures on them. The game itself was fairly simple, you had pogs - the small cardboard circles - and slammers, which were heavier, thicker, and usually made of plastic. First you'd decide whether or not you were playing for keeps (aka keeping the pogs you won, giving up the ones you
