    Digimon World 2003. I never owned a PlayStation (was a Nintendo-only fanboy for years until I bought a PS2 in the mid-00s a year before the Xbox 360 was announced) and tried to run an emulator of it for over a decade before it was fully supported. I also had trouble because I found out the only English version that didn’t have that stupid “once you start fighting the final boss, you can’t explore the game world anymore” thing they used to do in JRPGs was the European version. Now I can actually play it, even using gameshark codes, easily… if I could only find the time to play it!

      Agreed. Between this, a full archive of Austin City Limits, Graham Norton and Later… with Jools Holland I’m right there with you. Live and intimate long form programs are few and far between.

    It’s not a white whale, it’s a Holy Grail. The white whale is something that occupies your every waking moment and you wish to eliminate so you can get on with your life.

    Mr meaty, it took me a year or so to find it. Not on rarbg, not on pirate bay, not on iptorrents, not on DVD/streaming. I finally got it a month back and I’m exstatic.

    I recently had the pleasure to slay it actually. It was the kinda like Twilight Zone but Horror ‘Night Gallery’ from 1996. It did exist, but the torrent that was circulating was messed up beyond belief. Episodes cut off at 20 minutes etc. Some dude on a private tracker ripped the whole thing anew for me.

    I actually went and bought my white whale and ripped it myself eventually. It’s a silly movie called DEBS but every version I could find had an error in the final scene. So I ripped it from DVD, if only now I could figure out how to self host it.

    On a related note, the first white whale I ever had is how I got into piracy, it was a kids show called ik mik loreland that we got to see in school as to learn spelling. They never showed us the entire series, and I had been obsessed with it for years untill on the news they talked about birate-pay. Eventually found a tracker on tickass-korrents. It took me 6 months to complete from what I assume was one seeder who didn’t use a PC ever. Recently register it myself and am proud to say it now has 4 dedicated seeders.

    Shakira’s first 2 albums in lossless quality without any vinyl noise. I met a guy who shared a sample and I was amazed. Huge shame he’s offline…

    I’ve been looking for the 3rd season of the Andy Milonakis Show for forever, I know it is probably hot garbage…but I love hot garbage. I also used to troll the internet for old CKY movies…but I found most of them, even the coveted “Cattlebag” movie by Brandon Dicamillo…it is all so horrible though…but meh…when one lives in a trash world, one gets a taste for the finest trash…

    A good quality version of the “VR.5” tv series from 1995. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VR.5

    It’s a TV show about virtual reality and has peak 90’s aesthetic. They shot the scenes in "virtual reality"on black and white film and colorized them manually afterwards to create a very distinct and vibrant look. That must’ve been so much hard work.

    Sadly, there is only a 240p VHS rip with extremely terrible quality out there. I’ve always wanted to watch the whole thing, but it’s too degraded to enjoy like this.

    The Luck Luke animated films, released in the states on Disney homevideo with English dubbing in the 80s. I’ve had one sitting on 90% for well over a year.
