How's Your Day? Archives

:happy102

I guess it's better than being and adverb...

"First, you do a Micah-Google..." :happy097

what am I motivated for? your PM earlier? if so, Y.E.S.!

 

at first, as I was scrolling to read this, I caught a glimpse of Tom's frozen Twinkie (that doesn't sound too wrong, does it? CT time?), then read the line above, reminded me of this...

This could be fun.

 

awesome!
I actually remembering seeing some of these, I'm going to guess they're some my two closest uncles in age had when I was younger

 

For some strange reason, I have a vague recollection of them, too. I almost want to say that I might have had a 3rd run of these things when I was a kid.

saw a trailer for IM2 yesterday - man, I'm actually interested in watching it now...and it's not just because of Black Widow - well, it's 98% for Black Widow, but that's not 100%....the other 2% is probably the soundtrack

(but I suppose I'd better watch the first one first, though, huh?)

 

do you mean the soaps or the cartridges? Please please please don't tell me you're too young to remember NES cartridges. You're gonna make me feel old.:happy102

 

NES? What's that? What's a cartridge? Is that some prototype cartridge shaver or something?






























yes, I'm kidding (I know it's not a prototype...)

 

If it will assuage your fears...

I was referring to the stickers. I certainly remember cartridges. I just feel that the Atari and intellivision are grossly unrepresented in that collection of soaps.

 

Did anybody else catch the chalkboard on the opening of "the simpsons" last night?

Laughed my fool head off.

 

no, I missed it, and I actually wanted to watch it last night!

"Dad, the sharks must think you're a baby whale!"

 

yes. that helps a lot. I work with teens, who are all convinced that I am older than dirt because...

I have first hand experience of "really old classic" video games (Metroid, Super Mario, Pac Man, Donkey Kong, etc..)

 

nevermind discussing with them the Atari and ColecoVision then, huh? :happy102

 

Yeah, tucked away somewhere I have an old "Pong" game. It was one of the really fancy models that had the predecessor to nintendo's light gun. Just a little white square that moved across the screen and you shot it with a light sensitive gun.

 

I had an old cassette tape that had a TI 99-4A program stored on it and played it once in class... Yeah.. I miss my old Atari games...

 

oh buddy. I tried to explain a MUD to one o' my yutes once. His response? "We got those in 3D! We don't need all those alphabet drawings and text."

Made me feel this big.

 

yup....


but then again, kids today don't understand the antisocial nature of sitting around and playing a single user quest game, or the fun of writing macros to do x whenever y is in the room...
