Penis Moai
This makes me nostalgic for the time when DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHIC IMAGERY was still new and amazing to most people. I'd walk into Babbages or Egghead, and they'd have Tandy or some such shit computers displaying, in glorious 320x200x256, pictures of a deer, or flowers, or a celebrity. Maybe the occasional Istanbul panorama. And those giant pixels were like candy. Back when the word MULTIMEDIA gave everyone, even women, throbbing erections, and entire shelves were lined with point-and-click games featuring Adlib FM-synthesis music and FULL MOTION VIDEO featuring an insane old man toymaker or Dana Plato living within THREE DIMENSIONAL BACKGROUNDS rendered in 3D Studio R2. Yes, the one for DOS, which I don't think even most 3D artists these days remember. And to do anything fancy in 3D Studio like fire or cheesy disintegration effects you had to buy IPAX plugins that costed about $800-$1,000 each. The Internet was just starting to make waves, although everyone knew what CompuServe was because their dentist/doctor/lawyer/etc would always quietly brag by logging onto it whenever you visited their office. "Look at me, I'm rich and influential, I'm going to log onto CompuServe. GO WALLSTREETJOURNAL, ha ha ha ha." Yes, they said "ha ha ha ha" because LOL wasn't invented yet.
True story.
