Seems we have lost Jason David Frank who played the green/white power ranger on MMPR.

Really sad about that, obviously I didn't know what he was like in his personal life but he seemed to really cherish his time as a Ranger and lent into it when it's something that a person could so easily be embarrassed by or want to distance themselves from.

He really kept it going, both for himself and the fans. He also didn't seem to visibly age much despite being 49 when he passed. But yeah, it's sad. I might put the movie on in the background tomorrow while I do some chores, not sure.

@ralphdibny Devastating news for me, I've been a big Power Rangers fan since 1993 and still enjoy the series/franchise to this day.

Planning to re-watch all of Power Rangers Zeo on my days off in his memory.

I hope he's in a better place and may the power protect him!

I failed to cut my backyard grass before snow fell... now what

Jeeez with all the sh*t FIFA is spouting these last few days,i´m sure EA is relieved to not be having that name on the boxes anymore.

@KidBoruto 😔✌️

@KAIRU Unfortunately it's just proof (as if it was needed at this point) that they'll do just whatever's the most profitable for them
I can't say I care about football but it's still sad, because it reflects how a lot of the world works

@KAIRU I've never been so unenthusiastic about a WC. This is just gesture politics and the usual suspects who decry racism and homophobia in the west, jet off to a country where homosexuals are executed, misogyny is run of the mill and attitudes towards other races is way less tolerant than anything found in the west but "need to go to point it out".....yeah I'm sure that's the reason you're going and not the six/seven figures you're being paid.

@KAIRU Given your fondness for Japan are they your second team?

Managed to get fifty quid off the renewal price of my car insurance. I dislike ringing them every year to do the song and dance but it's always worth noting that the first price they give you is never their best price

@ralphdibny Thank you buddy, I feel we are in a similar position but I can't quite make the jump to rid myself of DVD's but they are now boxed up in the loft doing nothing so I am not sure why. I think once the magazines have gone I might feel more inclined to do something about it given how liberating it is but you are spot on doing the listing is a pain!
Totally agree I will retain the ones with my letters in, was never lucky enough to get a picture though, I was in the back ground years ago in one of the Mix Mag issues at Gods Kitchen but that is my closest claim to fame 🤣

@Mostik haha nice. I haven't got rid of many from my last post yet (still need to archive them) but even taking them off the shelf to put in the pile felt so good. I've been doing it on and off for almost a year now, dancing around the edges of like dvd "collections" that are within my overall collection. The other day was the first time I decided to cull a load of stuff that "looks good on the shelf" (even if it really doesn't, it just looks cluttered and ugly).

But that decision made me want to cull even more stuff. It was like I had broken the back of my obsession (even if I haven't truly rid myself of it) and I think I can get rid of even more now. Possibly even books and games that I won't play again but can't archive as easily as I can DVDs. But I'll see, I could just be experiencing a short lived euphoria so I'll see how I get on in the future!

I got rid of 90% of my DVDs and Blue Rays a few years ago, glad I did as I had shelves of the things and every time I moved house it was just hassle. But every now and then I think about a film I want to watch and go “oooo I have that on the shelf” only to find it was one of the unlucky ones.

Then I have to spend £3.49 on Amazon or YouTube.

@kyleforrester87 Same here with my DVD's when I got my PS4 and most of my Blu Ray's when I got my PS5. Still kept hold of 500+ cds though, but they are all in boxes from when I moved last year.

@RogerRoger it's mid-to-late November!

@AgentCooper you certainly do!

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Push Squires from the States!

May we all eat until we’re uncomfortable and can’t move! (Although that could describe any given Thursday for some of us…)

Wish we did thanks giving 😩

@JudgeDredd That took me a while to figure out. 😅
I was wondering why the reference to China? 😂 Didn’t realize the Turkey flag was that close.

Have a Holly jolly Christmas!

I don't think I'll be getting rid of my CDs tbh, I still buy them and I just got a car that came with a 6 CD changer! 😯

I celebrated by buying the queen platinum collection which is taking up 3 slots and MJ Essential which is taking up 2. I haven't chosen the 6th CD yet!
