| 2531 | Article | Hoju Koolander | @onipar Actually, I just found a "video game bar" out here in Arizona that has that exact set-up. You must have willed it into existence! | Aug 16, 2015 |  | |
| 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. | A Flurry of Hadoukens and Shoryukens | Aug 16, 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. | A Mid-90's Saturday With c_b_f | Aug 16, 2015 | |
| 2534 | Article | onipar | Thanks, Hoju! Yeah, the arcade bullies were the worst. I have probably a couple more stories about that sort of thing. | A Flurry of Hadoukens and Shoryukens | Aug 17, 2015 | |
| 2535 | Article | onipar | Oh nice! That's kinda of amazing that it actually exists! :-) | A New Kind of Arcade | Aug 17, 2015 | |
| 2536 | Article | onipar | Yeah, same here. Trading was my favorite, but something that only occurred a few times. Thanks so much too, I'm glad you enjoyed them! | A Summer Quest | Aug 17, 2015 | |
| 2537 | Article | comic_book_fan | hoju sounds like a good Saturday to me. i used to catch livewire and what ever wcw was calling there show that week. | A Mid-90's Saturday With c_b_f | Aug 17, 2015 | |
| 2538 | Article | Vaporman87 | Great story mass! What a odd and interesting way to finally end up with an NES. The year I and my brother first got an NES of our own was probably the greatest Christmas (as far as sheer number of awesome presents) I ever had. Not only did we get the NES and games, but also we each got our own ATVs! It was crazy. I'll never forget that Christmas. | How I Got My NES | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2539 | Article | Vaporman87 | No doubt, that was a tearjerker for me growing up. I loved the movie so much, but it was hard to get through the whole thing sometimes knowing what was to come. When I first saw the film, the tension that was building when Atreyu tries to pass by the Oracle Statues really had me biting my nails. I'll never forget that feeling. As an adult, you expect things to turn out okay for the protagonist because if it doesn't, the moviegoers will be very upset. But as a kid, you figure his chances are about as good as your own, and that doesn't inspire confidence. LOL Like you said though, the ending makes it all worth it. Fun fact: The voice of Falkor is also the voice of Man-At-Arms and many other MOTU characters from the original He-Man series. | Movies that damaged me as a child - Part 1 | Aug 18, 2015 | |
| 2540 | Article | onipar | Wow, what a cool story! I wish I could remember how I got my first Nintendo, but I guess it was just a mundane occurrence for me. Loved reading this one, cheers! | How I Got My NES | Aug 18, 2015 | |
