Have You Ever been Affected by Positivity… ?
From today’s title, you may have guessed that this is a follow-up to my last post about how a little hype can go a long way in helping us enjoy things that we actually enjoy. Last time, I talked about how the pervasive negative attitude surrounding video games at the moment might actually be affecting…

Have You Ever been Affected by Negativity… ?
Here at shoesatthedoor, we talk a lot about how contemporary social media algorithms affect our view of reality. But I usually think about this in the context of either searching for or consciously receiving new information. When we consciously form opinions on the state of things in the world, we sometimes think uncritically about the…

Blogs, CDs, and, Hopefully, Baggy Cargo Pants.
One thing that often comes up in conversations about interests in resurgences and retro items has to do with whether or not younger people are getting into it too. For us not young folks, seeing young people getting into the things we liked in our day is at least the most apparent argument against the…

Have You Ever Revisited Lumines II… ?
Well, Michael posted about a DDR track and a GBA game and, somehow, I landed here, posting on shoesatthedoor and thinking about Lumines II for the psp. That was the first time I had ever heard music like this while playing a game – and over its music video, too! It was an incredible moment…

There’s Plenty of Old Anime
There’s plenty of old anime out there for those who know how to find it. Thankfully, there’s a lot on YouTube that’s easy to find, and not all of it is old rips. But I want the old rips, too. Lately, I’ve been catching up on some Cat’s Eye on @AnimeonTMSOfficialChannel (Tokyo Movie Shinsha). I…

Have You Ever Gone on an Adventure Game… ?

Have You Ever Created a Hall of Fame?
Well, this is my first one. Since I started working on this blog, I’ve wanted to create a little “Hall of Fame” to recognize the internet’s creators and performers that stand out most to me. I started with Games Sack and Iron Pineapple, and I tried to start some interesting conversations about what perhaps makes…

Have You Ever Eaten Soggy Cereal…?
Well, this guy is done with it. It’s food day here on ShoesAtTheDoor.com. No, it isn’t, but I should have posted this under Cereal Man. This is okay, though. It gives me a chance to talk about this show separately from its channel, The Dice Tower, which I plan to cover later. This is Crowd…

You Were Doing It Wrong…
You didn’t know. We didn’t know. It needed more hum anyway.

Have You Ever Scrolled Down… ?
I almost never do. But when I saw this today, I felt I had to leave a comment. One person, who apparently felt the same way, goes by the username of JoeButtCrack. That’s what I get for scrolling down. I subscribe to this channel because it’s full of old cartoons from the 70s, 80s, and…
