>>6971541lmao fast-forwarding always felt fun, somehow. And rewinding. Except rewinding the tape back so you could avoid the $5 cost for not rewinding the tape when you returned it to the video store. That was always annoying to have to remember to do.
>>6971571It's hard to say, but you may very well have had a bad VHS player, rather than the tape itself being bad. Did you ever play any other tapes on that same VCR around the same time? If so, what was the playback like?
I've got a friend who still has a VCR, but temporarily (until he can get it either fixed or replaced), he no longer uses it since he's noticed that his tapes have rapidly degraded in visual quality since he began using this VCR, and these tapes now (seemingly, at least) permanently have grey, distorted lines that move across the television during playback of the tape, that weren't there before. I have seen the playback of these tapes both back when he first got this VCR and would play these tapes on them, and after he had played these tapes on this VCR multiple times...it is very unfortunate indeed.
>>6971578yeah bro. it's exactly as valid of a sexual encounter as your shitpost is to this website
