"Do you remember when.."

[artanis_neravar]

Do you remember that one time on the Escapist someone decided to make a thread about how everyone remembers stuff from shit that happened "a long time ago", but all it did was make me feel really old because everyone wants to talk about the PS1/N64 wars or how Pokemon used to only have 150 Pokemon or the annoying sound of dial-up internet or how all cell-phones used to be huge or how they had to swap discs in games?

Why aren't you people old enough to remember time before cellular phones?! Or the internet?! Or disc-based gaming?! Or the console wars more than 2 generations ago?! Or, God-fucking-forbid, POKEMON?!

Why do I feel so OLD?!

Because you are?

attack of the show is more along the lines of general tech and internet culture.

I'm talking about the glory days of Filter, Arena, Cheat, Cinamatech and to a lesser extent Judgment Day.
