Do-do-do-do you have it?!
Twenty-five years ago today, ‘90s kids discovered something they didn’t know they needed: a piece of the Aggro Crag.
Alas, no one could simply circle it in the Toys ‘R’ Us holiday catalog. If you really wanted a piece of the mountain, later called the Mega Crag in season three, you had to don the blue, purple, or red uniform as a competitor on Nickelodeon Guts.

Amongst the tween programming block that also included Legends of the Hidden Temple and Nick Arcade, the series has come to represent an era of a specific genre of TV that has yet to be successfully replicated. An action competition show, young players were given the chance to perform in a literal sports fantasy, provided they didn’t mind doing it on national television. Today, nostalgia for the series is alive and well within its original demographic...

A classic clip from Reddit has surfaced of the series Nick Arcade, and it's sure to give you a healthy dose of nostalgia alongside some good old gamer rage as well. Melissa Joan Hart (Clarissa Explains It All, Sabrina The Teenage Witch) has to get 25 rings in Sonic The Hedgehog 2's Green Hill Zone and for whatever reason just can't figure out how to make it happen!
To her credit, Sonic 2 was still in beta at the time so she was kind of flying blind while playing, But She Left So Many Rings Behind! I couldn't handle it when she couldn't make her way around the loop, and it looked like Jason Zimbler couldn't either. Check out the whole event in the video below.

If you were gay and a kid in the ’90s, you were lucky to have Nickelodeon on the tube. Not only did the classic kids network dish out quirky shows that hold up well (particularly The Adventures of Pete & Pete), but it gave you bizarre, unconventional, one-of-a-kind characters who could be your friends, no matter how ridiculous or cartoonish they were. Sometimes, Nick’s characters were seemingly tailor-made for gay audience acceptance, and that’s why we’re assembled here today in this blessed Pride month: to remember 25 of Nickelodeon’s ’90s heroes (in the pre-Spongebob era) who guided us through childhood like Kirk Fogg ushering Purple Parrots past Temple Guards.
25. Petunia, The Adventures of Pete & Pete
Sure, she was just a tattoo, but she wiggled! Scandalously! Gorgeously! Distantly. Little Pete’s mermaid tattoo was the slacker ’90s kid take on Veronica Lake.
24. Helga Pataki, Hey Arnold!

It’s Top Chef Texas episode 7, entitled “Game On”, which was also the title of the first episode of the first reality show in history (a 1932 radio serial called “Y’all Survive Now, Y’hear?” where contestants tried to literally survive the Dust Bowl. They’d always be like, “I’m here to cook My food to survive the Dust Bowl”.) The guest judge is Tim Love (surprised it’s taken this long to see him), and for the Quickfire, the chefs will have to prepare dishes that pair well with Don Julio tequila, meaning, they will have to prepare a dish and set it next to some tequila. “I made a lime-infused worm with an end of night bad idea reduction…” After 12 shots of tequila, Tim and Padma are a little tipsy when it comes time to judge: Ed declares, “Tequila and Tim Love? Sounds like a great way to spend a morning.

I don't really love the idea of camping, so it should come as no surprise that I am not usually a big fan of "survivalist" horror films. Primal however, is what people are calling a return to "Ozploitation". The majestic environment of the Australian Outback is apparently a frequent place where people get killed. Who knew? With this apparent return to Ozploitation, Primal is often quoted as being a film in the same vein as something like Cabin Fever, but what it ends up being is more or less just kind of a shrug, and also sometimes a laugh.
Six friends are venturing to the Australian Outback to check out some cave drawings. Oh wait before I forget, 12,000 years ago some guy was painting these cave drawings when some scary looking person killed him,...

Everyone has them: complete wastes of time. Guilty pleasures, as it were. Shows that don't necessarily add anything significant to our lives, but we can't keep from going back to them, over and over again. There's nothing wrong with them - in fact, some of them are pretty awesome. Since it's been a slow news week and I've had plenty of time to spend thinking on such things, I present to you my six favorite wastes of time.
In no particular order:
1. The Mole (ABC, 2001-2004, 2008)
For the most part, I loathe reality television; I've just never been all that interested in any of the series. The Mole, however, had me from early on, indulging the part of me that loves spy shows and almost had a career in the CIA. I was glad to have a series where I was forced to figure out clues that actually took effort to spot and decode.
