Happy Birthday Ilyich!

Ditto! Also, happy belated to Technocrat. (And Tzachs and everyone else I missed! )

Red Green Dawn?

The Stuff?

Ding ding ding! We have a winner!

Buckaroo Banzai?

Also nope. While this movie lacked a watermelon in a drill press, it was still awesome (and tasty).

Ghostbusters 2? Probably not, but it reminds me of it.

Nope. Right decade, though.

That's Beat Takeshi, and I don't remember those scenes from Hana-Bi, so I'm going to go with Sonatine.

A guy I work with says this is "Fireworks". But I've seen that Katy Perry video, and I don't remember him being in it at all. So I'm going with "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence."

It is indeed Takeshi Kitano's "Hana-bi" aka "Fireworks".
I guess it's a-guy-you-work-with's turn, then! Please make him register on the forums and post a new movie for us to guess! Or do it for him, I don't particularly care - just stop avoiding the correct answer in a funny, but infuriating manner.

Technically, didn't bbx1138 (sort of) guess it right first? 

Also, I've never seen "Fireworks." A guy I work with named Hector was the one who knew the movie. I have a movie clue ready to go, based on the movie he chose. I don't have a DVD or VHS for this one, so I had to grab it off a website. So no cheating with the googles!

That's Beat Takeshi, and I don't remember those scenes from Battle Royale, so I'm going to go with Johnny Mnemonic. (Also, I'm having the weirdest feeling of deja vu right now)

Kite Runner 2: Aerodynamic Boogaloo?

Tron?

If there were light cycle beams coming off that wheelchair, then it would be the greatest movie of all time!

Chariots Of Fire II: The Elderly Years?
Blade Wheel Runner?

Me gusta !

I still play games on cassette

The only authentic magnetic media. I like your style! If you ask me, this whole "compact disc" thing is just a fad. It will never catch on. People will come back to cassettes. You just wait and see.

I still play my games from disk, you know. Have you kids even ever seen a floppy disk that's actually floppy!?

Punch cards or nothin'! You haven't played Colossal Cave Adventure properly unless you've spent twelve hours feeding the punch cards in, one at a time, into your IBM / Hollerith card reader only to discover that you got two cards out of order six hours earlier and now you'll have to spend the entire next day reloading them again. And no saved games! None! Saved games are for wussies! Make a mistake and die? Perma-death followed by twelve hours of card loading to start a new game!

Now when is the CupCast going to be available on vinyl or 8-track I can get in the mail? I'm tired of trying to get your fancy electro-files to play in this new-fangled "Real Audio" player you forced me to install.

We've joined the rest of the internet and now our podcast is available on iTunes!

Sweet! This means you'll have to put out new installments at regular intervals of else Steve Jobs (now in Lich form) gets to harvest your souls for violating the iTunes EULA. It's a win/win either way!

EDIT:
Taking a cue from the king of trophies, Vince XII, I would say that two game soundtracks I can never get enough of are Dark Forces and Outlaws. I loop them often when I'm working on AGS stuff.

we can't release more than a single static image of the least Dangerous And Sexy part:

My God! The sheer amount of DangerSex^TM on display is almost overwhelming! I think you made the right call by sparing the more sensitive members of this community exposure to such a thing. Think of the children!

Damn it! I'm getting dizzy!

I fell asleep last night listening to the podcast and had visions of Ben304s and Grudislavs dancing in my head.

Oh, that was going to happen anyway.

Thanks for the new cupcast, guys. Enjoyable as always -- and much sooner than expected! I want (nay! demand!) to see pictures of the cork board.

Happy B-day, Rick J!

Just when I'd finally accepted that you were never coming back and was ready to move on with my life... WHY DO YOU KEEP PLAYING GAMES WITH MY HEART?!?
