In Diablo on battle.net there was this thing where people would insert "Bunny" into their characters name. BunnyOfDoom, EvilBunny and other things that a bunny is unlikely to be. Literally every second person did it. The internet sure has changed since I was a kid.

Edit: Removed excessive go. Was thinking about Energizer Bunnies while posting.

For the most part it's the same exact generation of people using computers as it was in 1997. So we were young and now we have grown on to more adult names like SkullFucker2014

1997 was the year when MTV showed its last full-length music video. I remember the VMAs for that year was the first time I saw tiny clips of videos for the first time there on the awards, videos which MTV had never once shown on their channel. I was so loving disgusted, I stopped watching MTV for good that year.

Also, Total Annihilation.

I was in my Junior year in high school and doing a bunch of psychedelic drugs which I kicked in the same year after having a bad trip.

I was also playing a MUD named Carrionfields.

1998 in my country was the year mtv became utter poo poo. they started to stop showing anything that resembled rock or good stuff and changed for general mexican pop hits and telenovela opening themes. then they fired all mexican people and changed to what should had been called mtv argentina.

recently i watched a bit of what's left of mtv and cried tears of bitterness. not a single music video.

MTV didn't truly die for me until they cancelled Clone High.

I celebrated my 8th wedding anniversary, and my 7th year of teaching. My father-in-law was still alive. I was driving a Nissan Pickup. I was using the single computer in my classroom and the partial T-1 line to show my students the latest data from the Mars Pathfinder mission. I was playing X-wing and Tie Fighter.
