The one kid in my grade with a Genesis had a mullet and his dad was our Cub Scout leader. One time we were at his house for a scout meeting and then we went down into his astroturfed basement and we watched him beat Kid Chameleon in one sitting.

I got pulled out of scouts after that because the dad tried to convince the other dads to let him take nude pictures of us

This wasn’t 9/11, but in 2003 I was playing the Desert Combat mod for Battlefield 1942 one day and someone in the chat said “Turn on CNN it’s happening for real!” So I turned the TV on and watched the bombing of Baghdad live lol

I think I mentioned this story before, but back when the DC snipers stuff was happening our teacher was explaining it to us and all the students were silent until someone near the back turned on their GBA and the startup sound came on at max volume

In college I brought my laptop to class to "take notes" aka play emulated games. In film class I forgot to turn off the sound when I loaded up Tetris Attack and the sound effect of Yoshi saying "Nintendo" blared extremely loudly through the classroom

My Jewish friend got radicalized by LF and Cum town in high school so now he talks about BirthWrong all the time like a big douchebag but I kinda wish I had done it. Idk if I’m Jewish enough though.

The Sega Kid of my group was named James and got stoked when his mom salted his sliced cucumber (his snack from home).

"Ooh, she salted em." - James

i think twisted sisters music video was featured in "the navigator" as an example of how different things were after the kid was transported to the future. that might be the only context i've heard them in. might be thinking of a different song though.
