The Pop-Culture E-Zine
Do you remember what you were into in 1994? Perhaps it was the fashion, the music, or Jim Carrey’s ‘Stanley Ipkiss’ character in The Mask that you most fondly remember about 1994? I know, it was that run-and-gun platform video game called Earthworm Jim that you most definitely recall about 1994. Yep, that’s it.
Take a trip down memory lane with this nostalgia-filled video tribute to the year 1994! A very good year indeed.

This could be the coolest use of old home computers and consoles. We all love playing video games on these nostalgic time pieces, but Glasgow filmmaker, James Houston decided to use these so-called outdated relics for something totally unique, creating music!
James uses Sega Mega Drives, an Atari 2600 Jr, Game Boys, disused floppy disk drives and even a Commodore 64 amongst the repertoire of old equipment. The acoustics within the dry swimming pool just add to the awesome sound. Turn it up and enjoy!

I am a sucker for inspirational stories and this one is no exception. Valerie Perez’s story of how she has used cosplay, Wonder Woman in particular, to transform herself is honest and very heart-warming. Valerie’s commitment is unwavering as she uses her new found confidence to inspire and help others.

Seems like London cosplayers were spoiled in October! Not only did they have the Winter London Film and Comic Con event, but there was also the equally awesome, MCM London Comic Con.
From the videos floating about on the MCM event, I thought these two were some of the best to depict the event and its cosplayers.
