2532	Article	Hoju Koolander	Epic and great narrative structure. Video game bullies were something I encountered as well, growing up. They always approach you as if you did something to offend them, when all you were doing was playing a game alone. In my case, the guy brought 5 of his buddies back to intimidate me and I got out of that skating rink in a hurry. I wish the magic of Street Fighter II could have melted my bully's heart as well.

2494	Article	Vaporman87	Man, you guys really knew how to take full advantage of a Saturday! So many great activities and games. I see a great many similarities to my own Saturday exploits. Sure, the activities may have been different, but it was really only about getting in time with your friends and neighbors and making the most of being free from school. We used to take Nerf basketballs,(the soft, vinyl, stuffed kind) wrap them in duct tape, and hit them with wooden bats in a game of Home Run Derby. If we could hit the ball onto the roof of our building (which was tall enough to fit an RV in), then it was a Home Run. Travel in the woods, wrestle with pillows, play video games, record ourselves on cassette tape or video, etc., etc. So much fun to be had on a sunny Saturday. I get to do all new things now that I have kids. I can be a part of their own favorite things about a Saturday, and it is a blessing.	A Mid-90's Saturday With c_b_f	Aug 10, 2015

2533	Article	Hoju Koolander	Saturdays were all about TV for me (but then again, so was every other day). X-Men, Spider-Man and Batman on FOX Kids, then switch over to ABC for Cow-Boys of Moo-Mesa or The Addams Family cartoon, maybe try out an episode of Saved By The Bell: The New Class on NBC, before switching back to FOX for WMAC Masters and getting my wrestling fix from WWF Superstars. If I did go outside it was just a trip to my favorite comic book store, that was the true Saturday destination. After all, you needed an hour or more to browse all the back issues.

2496	Article	Vaporman87	This reminds me a fairly unique place that I sometimes frequented around this same time. It was actually a video game retailer, but an independent one. Unlike the Electronic Boutiques and Gamestops of the world, this was just a little Mom and Pop place in a small strip mall area. There, you could not only buy the latest games, consoles, and accessories... you could TRY them before you committed your hard-earned cash toward them. Several TVs with a different console at each lined the tables in the back room. You paid for a certain amount of time, picked the game you wished to have a go with (though not all new releases were immediately available for trying), paid the fee, and off you went to the back room. In a closet-sized room behind the demo tables, they hid the most technologically advanced console of the day. A big screen TV and premium surround sound system huddled around a single recliner was all that sat in there. THAT was the place to be. It might cost you a little more, but you had the chance to experience those games the way they were meant to be experienced.	A New Kind of Arcade	Aug 10, 2015
