Obligatory pegs on that BMX I hope.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

When I was a kid I had dialup for about three years. Then we got broadband.

I vaguely remember 1992, I spent of a lot of it in the pub and had much longer hair. How your early 20s pass you by.

What year is it now?

WoW holds your hand until end game, and gives you a cookie whether you win or lose. EVE not only takes your cookie, but laughs at you for bringing one in the first place...

You kids had it so easy then. When I was growing up I had to gather the packets and physically take them to the destination myself. Went through 5 pairs of shoes just for one document.

though on the upside, them having "that" particular problem means login numbers are up...

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

From what I'm gathering, login attempts are up.

I'd like to apologize for the poor quality of the post above and sincerely hope you didn't waste your time reading it. Yes, I do feel bad about it.

Back in my day, if you wanted to play a multiplayer game, you had to get to the comic book store early to ensure a space at the gaming table.

You also had to make sure your D-8 didn't create a hole in your pocket and get lost on the way.

In the early 90s nobody out here in Podunk had internet access, and we all thought taking turns logging on the local BBS to play Trade Wars was the pinnacle of multiplayer online gaming.
