Oh, big time

I loved listening to the countdowns and getting exposed to all sorts of good stuff. I think I still have some of those tapes in my mom's basement. They're probably all warped as fuck now, but I'd love to see if they are or aren't...

And I recall, I had some total guilty pleasure late 80's stuff. Marika's Toy Soliders or Bobby Brown's Ghostbuster's 2 theme, anyone?

UGH!!! yes. and danity kane, and whoever else there is. blah. and then the lead singer always decides "oh snap i'm better than this band!" and takes their weave and goes solo. and falls flat on their face because 1. they have no talent 2. they don't have the hype of that mtv band anymore

lol

I mean these "bands" (and I use that term lightly) are created for television audiences based for the most part on their looks and their image - how exactly that translates to radio is beyond me...

BINGO. How many solo ventures are ever truly successful? They're vanity projects most of the time.

Speaking of which, as much as I bash the 80's, the video games were awesome. Sure, they looked horrific, but they were fun and addicting, and the systems didn't have microwave ovens and particle accelerators built in like nowadays.

qft! Some of the most fun I have had playing videogames was on my old Nintendo 8-bit system...

I used to go to the arcade at Hampton Beach all the time in the summer. I can't tell you how much I spent there.

Oh, and I, uh, had an Atari when I was younger.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm playing Snake right now.

I totally rock at this game.

God that game sucked! lol

One of my comics made fun of that game...let me see if I can dig it up...

[KhanadaRhodes]

Really? I didn't know that.

I have Sirius, though.

Merge already, damn it.

i heard when they merge though the prices will go up and we'll lose a lot of variety of channels

i hope that's just a bunch of crap people say whenever any merger happens.

Yeah, here it is.

That really was one of the worst video games imaginable.

Hopefully that's not true.

If it is, then screw the merge.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

ugh, great. i spoke to the biggest bitch ever who kept arguing with me and told me to stop apologizing (uh okay, you want me to tell you what i really think?) and wanted to speak with someone in another department. well, since they have the most fucked up phone system ever in our department, since i called HER, i can't transfer her. besides, i know said person can't do shit for her. so, i go to talk to my boss. he's talking to someone else, and continues to do so for a couple minutes. doesn't even ask what i need

i finally get to tell him what's up, and he tells me i have to call her back. this pisses me off, why does it have to be me? she's pissed at me now cuz i told her she'd have to pay for something and i put her on hold "forever." now i get to call her back and say "hey guess what - you don't have to pay." since i wasn't involved in any of this until i called her just now, i don't care if she pays or not. i just don't want to call her back.

I can say that I never had that game.

 

[LemonMelon]

You basically just walked around and fell into these pits that took forever to get out of over and over again. You were trying to collect Reese's pieces, if I recall correctly.

 

[KhanadaRhodes]

I can say that I never had that game.

if anyone ever told me they bought it, i'd think they were lying.

You could provide customer service to me. I promise I'll be better behaved than that person.

I got it with a bunch of other games in a yard sale for $1.00... Mel describes it pretty well, I wanted my money back

I think it took longer to design Pong than it did ET: Teh Video Gaem. They made it in like 3 weeks.
