    Longing for a time that is lost, the 80's & 90's

    Anyone else just miss the 80's/90's era? I see stuff from this era or hear music, and I just want to go back. I feel sorry for people who missed out on this timeline. Things were simpler back then. I see AI-created videos of these times, and they make me nauseated because I miss them so much. I...

    Things you no longer see around

    I was thinking about this today when I was walking. What are some things from your childhood that you no longer see? White dog poop Kids riding bikes everywhere No more worms on sidewalks and roads after it rains Owl puke on the ground in the mornings More bees and butterflies than you see...

    Does anyone else suffer from hiraeth?

    I experience this quite a bit throughout life. I have a hard time explaining it. I can be driving down the road, basically any time or place, and I get this sudden rush or feeling of being homesick or these floods of memories or good feelings. Flashbacks, if you will. I always want to post about...

    Rare Replay (XB1)

    They allow purchase of 'remade' goldeneye007, but it's just a HD version of the same old game. Same physics and all but slightly better textures & framerate. I like it a lot, though. Good times playin games at mom's house. All I need now is MKII for SNES. Also battletoads, kameo, killer...

    Simpler times

I also remember nice summer days with nothing to do but watch Cubs or Braves baseball games. Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN...

    Fondest Video Gaming Memories

    Thinking back over the years what games do you miss having fun with. I'll start... First of course mine will be WoW. Probably the best time I have ever had with gaming was when me and @C Pav use to raid. We took it serious. It wasn't just about fooling around in a game, we had goals to reach...

    Big Johnson t-shirts

    When I was growing up these were all the rage. I was never allowed to own any of course though. I think @jmanz remembers them, does anyone else? Were you ever allowed to own them?

    What was your first vehicle?

    I thought this would be fun to talk about our very first vehicles. I'll start off. My first vehicle was a 48 Chevy truck. I would have to go out before school, pull the choke and get it going to take me and my siter to school in. The second and the first vehicle I purchased with my first loan...

    Your past computers nostalgia stories

    I was talking to @C Pav about past computers this morning. Let's touch on a brief history of what we have gone through. The first PC that I purchased was an IBM computer from RadioShack. I had to take a loadout for it. It cost me about 4 grand. I think it was a 286? I can't be certain. Then I...

    Zune music player

    I just wanted to take a moment to remember an awesome music player for it's time. The Zune. When smartphones came along and new Ipod it just couldn't compete. But I really enjoyed the player. Anyone else remember them? http://www.likecool.com/Gear/MediaPlayer/Zune%202/Zune-2.jpg

    Layaway at shopping stores

    Does anyone else miss the old days of Layaways at stores? They always had a section located normally in the back of the store next to the bathrooms. You could put 10% of the price and they would hold the item for you until you paid it off. I used this a lot as a kid, and there was nothing like...

    The Tandy 1000 computer

    I ran across this video last night while Youtube surfing. The Tandy computer was a big influence in my life and got me started with computers. We never had one growing up, but thanks to a family I knew growing up that were quite well off I was able to experience them. The Commador 64 is still my...

    Memorable gaming nostalgia

    What are your most memorable past gaming moments? I have so many and will post them as I recall them. One very soothing and calming memory is playing SimCity on the SNES. First my brother and I rented it and was so calming to play. From the music to the "easy" game play it just sticks with me...

    The death of the video rental stores

    I am sure a lot of the members here grew up with video rental stores. They were a way of life being a teenager. Every Tuesday, Friday & Saturday nights they were packed. It was part of dating, pick up the girl go wander the isles aimlessly for an hour and pick out something based off the box...

    This thread is for memories you recall with friends. Main reason is because soon a friend of near 13 years will be moving away. @nodle you will be missed so here it goes. Remember always going over to Greene Drug to get snacks and drinks? Sharing pretzels while working on computers. How about...

    Classic arcades

    Talking with @C Pav at lunch today about how we miss the classic arcades. Growing up we had a nice arcade in the local mall. You would walk in and the lights would be a little dim and the sounds radiating off the machine were loud and thundering. You could always tell the latest game by the...
