Have you guys seen the trailers for the new season? They've been circling the internet for a couple of weeks. What'd you think?
I suspect by "done", they mean filming has wrapped? Bet there's a ton of post-production stuff left to do?
It was a pretty hard game. I always watched other people play it in the arcade, because it looked so cool and was fun to watch. Nobody could get that far.
If I recall correctly, the game was just a laser disc player hooked up to a monitor and a control unit.

My one shining moment as an elementary school kid in the Canadian mid-west was having a crowd of people at a big arcade in the shopping mall, screaming and hollering encouragement because I was able to finish the game. When Dragon's Lair came out, some places actually dropped a second monitor on top of the cabinet so that the crowd could see. It was always the same thing; people paid little attention to someone starting a game, but if they lasted more than a couple of minutes, they stuck around. If they lasted over five, people got really excited, and if you made it all the way to the dragon's lair at the end of the game, there was normally a huge crowd around you by that point, because word had gotten around the arcade that someone knew what they were doing.
That was probably the first time in my young nerd life that my nerd life choice felt completely justified. Seeing it pop up in that Stranger Things trailer was like pushing me into the deep end of the nostalgia pool with no warning.
Looks amazing! I'm going to have to watch the first season again, I think, to get caught up to speed. But I'm excited!
My childhood all over again! Except without the horror.Wow! Dragon's Lair and Thriller and Ghostbuster's costumes!
