SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

So, how much 80's can you take?

The 80s for me was black clothes, Hunters & Collectors, the Go-Betweens, the Smiths, the Doors, the Triffids, the Cure, New Order, the Laughing Clowns, the Cramps, the Velvet Underground, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Bauhaus, Television, the Cocteau Twins and other 4AD associates, the Pogues, Prince, Run DMC, Eric B and Rakim, Biz Markie and Public Enemy. It was ACIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIID! It was beer, cheap wine, pot, LSD and effies. It was art school and unemployment and 30+ hours of roleplaying a week. It was fear of nuclear obliteration.

That video is the shit we used to laugh at. Kick those fuckers' heads in with your Dr Martens!
The past lives on in your front room
The poor still weak the rich still rule
History lives in the books at home
The books at home

Quote from: Pierce InverarityOh, here's what on reflection *I* remember about the late 80s, though I was late to the party and to me it was more like an early 90s thing:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_house

For a few breif weeks in 1987, I was famed across at least two classes in my school for taking the song Aciiiiiiid and dubbing in Van Halen's Eruption (sans the intro drums) after the first couple of lines.

Well it was funny at the time.

It was also no mean feat of timing on an early Sony tape-to-tape deck, long before MP3s and even WAV editors :)

The 80s are something I would rather remember than repeat.
