Retro Diary #78

Last Sunday, me and my sister watched Beauty and the Beast… on VHS! It was an interesting experience, and the quality wasn’t nearly as bad as I would have thought, considering we watched it on a big flatscreen TV and chances are, the previous owner watched this film over and over again, because that’s what […] ...To receive more of these posts, you should follow my new blog, over at wordpress, the link is: http://ift.tt/2vPd6XS

Got five minutes to spare? Well, you can read this article about what a nobody thinks about a film that is a month old. Sound good? Let’s continue!

I’m back! On Sunday, I met up with an old friend at a retro gaming cafe, where I played Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time on the PS1 for a few hours. It’s actually a really good game.

The Collective Working to Save VHS Tapes Before They Decay | Mental Floss

This article is a hard read, it’s sad to know that VHS tapes, something that is a big part of many lives, won’t be usable any more after a couple of decades. Though on the bright side, the article mentions that digital doesn’t last forever, either. As someone who hates digital, that made me happy.
