Another thing, remember the dial up tone to get on the internet.

Remember when you used to look for porn in the woods?

Kids would have Playboys and Penthouses and hide them in makeshift treehouses and cabins and stuff. And other kids would steal them.
Yeah, it was creepy
Nothing was more depressing than when you found a complete magazine but it was soaking wet from rain (or something else)
I'm pretty sure this was a blink-182 song back in like 1998.

Remember 'Computer day' in elementary school where you played Oregon Trail or that Fraction Frogs game.
Remember waking up at the break of dawn on Saturday mornings to watch the newest episode of X-Men.
Remember the girls in middle school carrying around binders of written down lyrics of songs they wrote themselves from the radio.
Remember when it was "Book Fair" at school and you bought a bunch of Goosebumps books.
Remember watching Magic School Bus in science class. (and having to take notes on it)
Remember when you used to watch Are You Afraid of the Dark?
Remember being pissed someone didn't rewind your VHS rental.
Remember when you could cheat on tests in high school by saving answers in your Ti-84 calculator.
Remember when you snuck behind the mysterious section of the video rental place with the red sheet.

No, because I'm much older than any of that stuff. Except for the VHS rental.

Ubisoft actually has the gall to call their shitty new Splinter Cell an AAA game. So sad.

Remember when you'd have to go see a film in the cinema, or wait years to see it? This was my childhood - if I couldn't see a film at the cinema, I had to wait a year for my local VHS rental place to get it in stock (and they wouldn't always get all the new films in, as they mostly specialised in video nasties) and if they didn't get it, I'd have to wait another year for it to appear on terrestrial TV (as we were too poor for cable or satellite).
Remember when video games didn't have DLC, they had expansions? You know, huge, game changing expansions that added hours upon hours of new gameplay and totally justified their expense.
Remember when you were impressed that the Game Gear needed JUST 6 AA batteries for about 3 hours of FULL COLOUR 'portable' gaming? I got the TV tuner and was pretty much blown away that I could watch TV with my Game Gear while on a long car journey. This shit was the FUTURE.

The kids that came (and will come) after us will never understand. I feel you.

We read these things called "magazines" didn't we
BREAKING NEWS: PRESIDENT CORKY OUTLAWS REMINISCING.
'Future conversation must only refer to the present and future and must always be of the highest form,' he adds in controversial public address while twiddling his exquisite moustache, adjusting his monocle and looking down on us low and common folk.
No fun allowed.

I used to share a TI-83 with my partner in class. We'd share it while taking tests and exchange answers that way.
au contraire mon ami, I declare this day to be 'tons of fun allowed'-day
