Lemniscate Blue: Apr 21, 2006; Here we go again.

We used to rent NES games from the local video rental place each weekend and generally we would rent it, beat it immediately, play it several more times, and take it back the next day.

We rented two or three movies and often a game each weekend from them. They held a contest where the winner got free rentals for one year and my family won. The first time we rented our free movies the guy that owned it falsely claimed we didn�t bring a video back in and we couldn�t rent anymore until we returned it and paid late fees. It was the most transparent way to lie his way out of giving us our prize and lose a very regular customer.

Also he accidentally gave us Flesh Gordon instead of Flash Gordon one time, which, ha

Flesh Gordon had some brilliant practical effects for its budget, I'll say that for it.

I�m pretty ~~sure~~ hopeful that was posted as a joke, in the way that people always sarcastically rush breathlessly in to point out what is basic knowledge to anyone our age who was into video games back then

It was a reference to the Super Mario Playset video series from the Flash Tub by Shmorky. One video specifically deals with Super Mario 2 and Doki Doki Panic.

When people still kinda went to the main site.

(Remember there actually IS a main site)

Lol that the incredibly embarrassing Phiz Kalifa apology to the furries is the last article posted to the front page.

Double lol that everyone was ok with Lowtax deleting it for being cringe even though we all hated that bastard by that point .

Milo and POTUS: Sep 3, 2017; I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

Data Graham posted:

Yeah I almost replied with something about Aragorn kicking the helmet or Wojtek the bear

But yeah, another game renter here. My brother and I were very used to the idea that we would only realistically get about 2-3 hours to play a given game, so finding out later that most other kids would beat games was an discovery for me. To me a game was something that had infinite hours of playability and increasing difficulty far outlasting anybody's ability to play it.

That is, until SMB2 which we actually beat and it was like the accomplishment of a lifetime

We made VHS recordings of the few ending scenes we could reach because we thought it was arcane knowledge

If it makes you feel any better I was't beating poo poo, at least not regularly. I think I beat Jackal a bunch and that's about it
