I'm really looking forward to my birthday so I can legitimately complain about 'all these damn teenagers'.

do people still even do long division?

it was on the way out even a decade ago >_>;

We had to do long division as a punishment for complaining about learning to barn dance. Is there another way to manually do division? I can't even remember.

She's younger than me, which I find kind of amusing, considering I used to always feel like the "young guy" in all the internet groups I hung out with pre-gaf.

Oh really? I figured we were about the same age.

Mobile phone advice: I have a wp7 mozart with a regular sized sim.

I'm shit out of luck if I buy a phone with microsim, yes?

No. You can cut them down.

[Lafiel]

How old are you and rooster? I empathise with the 'young guy' thing.

I'm 21 now.

Spoiler

although I mentally feel like I'm 19!

 

[Darklord]

Man, Virgin mobile are pissing me off. They keep calling me every day at like 9:30am. I can't answer it you arseholes I'm at work! And they don't leave a message or anything. There's like 5 ways they can contact me and they do none of them. I looked it up and tons of other people have had the same experience.

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

Fucking kids.

What freaks me out a little is that these kids are fucking.

I bet most of them have never even owned a CD player or remember what dial up Internet was like. But I remember. Oh yes. I remember.

Spoiler

56K! Uphill! Both ways!

I'm 21 now.

Spoiler

Spoiler

It'll always feel like that.

 

[midonnay]

56k lol you young'un


the lowest I got to was 28.8k >_>

 

[viciouskillersquirrel]

56k lol you young'un

My first was 28.8K. It was crap even in '98.

Remember waiting for the little red Xs to turn into pictures as image heavy pages loaded?

 

[Jintor]

Man, even I remember that.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

Because everyone used IE because back then it was the best browser since Netscape Navigator was horrible. And AOL had their own browser, which was also horrible.

 

[markot]

And the stupid search engines crammed the page with shit until Google came round.

(I used Altavista >.> also the spider one)

 

[midonnay]

^^^^^ man I remember when altavisa was the google...... how did they mess that up.

It didn't help that the synch speed is usually like 60-70% of its rating >_>

god what a scam dialup was.

I was a GoEureka man myself.

 

[Yagharek]

WHO THE FUCK SAID TO USE SCISSORS?!

 

[bodyboarder]

with scissors?

Youtube to the rescue

WHO THE FUCK SAID TO USE SCISSORS?!

I assume it went badly.

 

[ClivePwned]

This was the modem that was available for my first computer. We didn't have one.

 

[Yagharek]

Serious question though

Xperia S or P?

 

[markot]

Why sony?

 

[Yagharek]

Why sony?

Familiarity with it, read some reviews which seemed favourable. It's not a windows phone or htc, which is a big plus.

 

[Deeku]

à chacun son goût, deek.

touché

I think I used lycos, I don't remember. I didn't even have my own computer until, like, end of year 12.

 

[r1chard]

Ah, you're all bringing back fond memories of surfing the Amiga FTP sites on my 14.4k modem. With my table of IP addresses sitting beside the ol' Ami. Oh, those were the days.

 

[Dead Man]

56k lol you young'un

Children, all of you. Unless you were dialing into bbs's using a baud rated modem, then you can talk about feeling old. God, the things I thought were amazing back then. Single frame gifs, 256 colours.

It was a glorious future I looked forward too, and now I live it.

 

[FormallyMegadrive]

askjeeves and lycos for me. occasionally yahoo back when that kid ran it

Theyre still 256 colours.

 

[midonnay]

I had ega on my first compie..... but I hadn't even heard of the internet back then.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Can't. Stop. Playing. Bulletstorm.

They better make a fucking sequel.

Serious question though

S2

Oh yeah.

 

[Dead Man]

Well, yes, but everything was 256 colours. If you were lucky and didn't get stuck with EGA or CGA.

This was the greatest game in the world for 12 months:

[midonnay]

[r1chard]

Oh wow. A friend of mine just bought a built PC from CenterCom and the HDD was full of photos, movies, personal data... whoops...

pretty sure this was my first pc game

(deathtrack)

Oh, man, I'd almost forgotten that! That was an awesome game that wasted far too much of my time at uni

It and mechwarrior... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sdqCjPsBeog

same, haven't even thought about it for decades

man that theme song and the parts store....nostalgia-bomb.

can't remember if I played mechwarrior...... my memories are blending with the cartoon on tv (eh battletech). I think it was one my brother had that I watched over the shoulder.

 

[fappenmeister]

Barbarian and Schweppes Clear Cola was my summer one year in the very early 90s. Still miss my damn C 64.

 

[EatChildren]

Wee tax return next week. Time to think up useless crap to buy.

 

[The Giant]

[Gazunta]

[dinopoke]

Hi, AusGAF! Lurked at NeoGAF for about a year but now decided to make my first post here. Um, I like playing video games I guess.

People tried to start at mine and the rest of the cinema was like 'lol nope'

 

[midonnay]

^^^^^^^ mine built up.... it was like slow clapping at the uhm second to last scene......and then "fuck yeah" clapping at the end. Strange (although I joined in too)

Had that at the start of TPM back when. If only we knew then what we know now.

 

[Rahk]

So is Batmens worth seeing at IMAX? Never been there to see a proper movie before.

 

[Fredescu]

Xperia S or P?

Remember how not listening to anyones advice worked out last time?

 

[The Giant]

So is Batmens worth seeing at IMAX? Never been there to see a proper movie before.

It's worth it.

 

[midonnay]

Make sure its true Imax...... not the fake marketing bs ones.

the change of aspect ratio can be jarring but its pretty spectacular. (real imax footage is more like a square than a rectangle)

 

[Ventron]

My colleagues and I are all going to watch Batman IMAX this afternoon.
