Which Joker represents that era?

I would imagine a lot of people who grew up with Cesar Romero's Joker played early arcade games at the bar and owned Ataris and other gen 1 & 2 consoles as young adults. I know my parents had a Fairchild Channel F when I was a kid.

There is a Joker gap there though. Maybe animated Super Friends Joker?

I'm an old person with scrambled brains and I swear you had to boot it with a cassette. I might have been wrong about that but that was definitely the external storage device for my basic programs that used to write LOL. It also had a cartridge game called impossible mission that was bugged at the end and wouldn't let you finish the game. It was my first experience with what would come to be Bethesda gaming.

It didn't need to load the OS off a cassette but games and other programmes came on cassette. I had a ZX Spectrum 48k and when we would trade our cassettes art school you would also give the tips for getting it to load correctly. I will always remember that the MIG game required you turn the volume up really loud or it would fail to load.

I had a Vic 20 and a PONG console that required about 20 D batteries for 30 minutes of "fun".

For those of you that might not know, the Vic 20 required its OS to be loaded via and external cassette tape machine. And let me tell you about the fun and games had the one time I went for a bike ride (on my Huffy with the skinny tires) and accidently put a data tape in my walkman and had the volume up too high.

Yeah pretty much and I only hopped on the Halo train because that's what everyone would be playing for MP at the time.
I liked ODST though.

I had a PC magazine that featured articles on Halo, Team Fortress 2, and Tribes 2. They all sounded really cool and interesting, and we never got any of them.

I guess California doesn't allow you to sell your blood/plasma so instead of making money off of my meat fluid, I get annoying phone calls every few weeks about my blood because I'm O-, so I'm a universal donor. They also want me to donate a shitload of whole blood and plasma because I'm a big guy with tasty blood apparently but that's like a multi-hour process and I can't take all that time off of work.

Opposite problem for me, I’m permanently disqualified from donating blood because my family lived in the UK from 89-92, during the whole mad cow scare. Surprised me that they were so strict, scares me that poo poo like mad cow can lay dormant for decades before showing symptoms, and by that point you’re boned anyhow.

No goons are allowed to donate. Just can't resist the urge to say "i'm gay" when it comes up, so we all get disqualified.

I don't think it had ever been slated to be an MMOFPS, but I know that they had intended the halo to be one big continuous map with no boundaries, and not broken up into levels.

I think that Halo really started out as a RTS actually.
