| 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 |  | |
| 2535 | Article | onipar | Oh nice! That's kinda of amazing that it actually exists! :-) | A New Kind of Arcade | Aug 17, 2015 | |
| 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 | |
| 2497 | Article | comic_book_fan | i have a niece that i get to play with she always likes me showing her an old tv show or a game from when i was little she wants to play ghost in the graveyard but she is afraid of the dark and it's hard to find enough people to play. | A Mid-90's Saturday With c_b_f | Aug 10, 2015 | |
| 2499 | Article | massreality | I miss WCW Saturday Night so bad. | 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. | A Mid-90's Saturday With c_b_f | Aug 16, 2015 | |

| 2492 | Article | Vaporman87 | Beautifully written story, onipar (though one would expect it to be so; you being an author). The plight of a childhood spent someplace like Brooklyn is about as unfamiliar to me as such a thing could be. But the fear of a local bully is pretty universal, so I can relate to this story. I love these lines - "...lifting him off the ground and encasing him in clam-stank..." "...he was probably just late for a midday stabbing at the park..." Thanks for sharing! | A Flurry of Hadoukens and Shoryukens | Aug 10, 2015 | |
| 2493 | Article | onipar | So glad you enjoyed this! I've been wanting to write some stories about childhood events in Brooklyn, and I was excited to have a bit of motivation to finally do so. | A Flurry of Hadoukens and Shoryukens | Aug 10, 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 | |
