The Weekly Links: Bud Light Pac-man Super Bowl Commercial, GPK Halloween Masks, 2016 Animated Smurfs Movie Details

Welcome to another edition of The Weekly Links, your weekly source for the best '80s content on the web! Thanks to everyone who made "30 Years of Never Say Die!" t-shirt campaign a success! We came just two 2 short of reaching our goal of 30, but with the minimum print goal of 10 achieved, we'll get to show off our Goonies pride very soon! If you missed it, the design is still active and you can reserve one. You'll just need 9 friends to reserve one also to print another batch.

I still had music on my mind this week and found some pretty bad '80s cover songs of '80s hits. If you stomached through listening to the entire list, you definitely deserve an award! I also contributed to UnderScoopFire! this past week by finding some nerdy, pop culture fonts including one is nothing but old school WWF wrestling characters,

I've been working behind the scenes this week on a formal home for Rad Retro Stuff. In case you missed the announcement last week, I'll be providing deals, news, and giveaways featuring retro collectibles as a part of RD80s. In the meantime, stay connected by liking Rad Retro Stuff on Facebook or following @RadRetroStuff on Twitter.

My favorite video this week will be a commercial in the upcoming Super Bowl. Remember the life-sized Pac-man game that was found in downtown L.A. last week? Well, we get to see it in action, complete with a life-sized quarter to enter the game!
