Title: Today is the day Marty McFly arrives from the past!
Post by: VinnyCordeiro on Wed, 21 October 2015, 09:55:29: I'm still waiting for hoverboards and flying cars, though.

Post by: saturnotaku on Wed, 21 October 2015, 10:07:54: I thought this was pretty darn funny.

But there were still a lot of things the movie got kind of sort of correct. Would have been super-special awesome if they got the whole Cubs Win World Series thing right, but it doesn't look like that will be the case.

I actually saw that post. I was up at 1AM (as usual) and decided sleep > pepsi. As it turns out, it was the right decision. Still not for sale anywhere. :(

Nike have been teasing a launch of the self-lacing shoes for some time. There are speculations it will happen today. And it is as ugly as those of the film.

Post by: mogo on Wed, 21 October 2015, 11:10:09: Welp. They apparently manufactured a literal handful of the damn things because I didn't see a listing anywhere and I'm assuming they sold out in seconds. Way to really screw a bevy of pooches, PepsiCo.

I'd buy a pair just because they're kind of cool but the price will always be too high.
