Galahad: I didn't make it, I just linked it with tags. The artist is Randall Monroe. His stuff is at xkcd.com but you should know before you go there that he is not a christian. Some of his cartoons I would not post here or anywhere else.

But the good ones at xkcd are brilliant!

I just had a The Floor is Lava marathon a few months ago in a hotel room with my teenage daughter. I totally rocked that game... she didn't stand a chance!
WHAT?! I thought I and my brother and sister made that game up! You're telling me someone else played it too?

No, I'm serious. I thought we made it up ourselves and nobody else knew about it.

Remember using the cent sign? I kinda remember when they decided to take it away - because you couldn't really get anything for a dollar. Then they noticed that people would buy things at $4.99 easier than at $5. Weird right?

Remember you would play for hours on Sega and would waste up all your lives so you'd end up from the very beginning?


Also, Tamagotchi's.
Gel pens

And of course, good ol' dial up and the "You Got Mail" voice over.

I remember when gel pens became a thing lol. Sadly, I never had Sega. I went straight from Super Nintendo to Playstation. But, I would play Super Mario and I remember one time specifically, my mom told me, "You can play 5 lives and that's it." *one eternity later* "I told you 5 lives!!* XD.. I'm just that good mom :confused:

"Good" or just selective hearing and chose what you wanted to hear. :p


Also, the glorious moment when you didn't have to blow on the game in order for it to work when upgrading to playstation.

Have you played Crash Bandicoot? That was my fix.......

Remember when Gasoline was 10 cents a gallon between 1939-1943? I don't...I was, yet, a twinkle in my Mothers eye.. Smile. I do remember it being 30 cents a gallon...and it would change a fraction of a cent over months and years not hours and minutes State by State-- Oh my ...the Lord and I have known each other a long time even longer on God's part. He, in fact, has been around so long one could simply call Him: "refreshingly recycled"....I might adopt that title as my epitaph "Here lyes a man that lived a life 'refreshingly recycled' until God cashed in his cans value." Thank you Lord for making my can worth more than the 5 cents..!

Speaking of gas. I remember when gas was cheap, but a visit to the station came with full service.
You pull up to the pump. Black rubber tube stretched out from the gas island. You drive over it to get to pump. “Ding Ding,” goes the bell.
The gas station attendant comes out of the garage/office area. He usually had a red utility rag in hand.
Walks to driver side of car, smiles and says, “Good afternoon, can I help you?”
“Yes, fill it up with regular.” Or “$5 gallons of ethyl.
Would you like me to check the oil?”
He puts the nozzle in the tank. Then opens the hood and checks oil level. If it is low, “You need about a quart, would you like me to some in?
Then he will even put air in any tires low on air.

Then he washes car front window.
Then he takes the payment. Yep. Pump first then pay.

Some places they still have service like that! Not where I live, but I know someone who went out of town to somewhere in VA (or it might have been WV), and they did this.

You're a monster. I saw this posted on the wiki page lol: When Giga Pets were initially tested, it was reported that the first thing most girls did was name their pets whereas most boys opted to discipline the digital creatures. XD I will neither confirm nor deny this.
