remembering the good ol days

I'm 28 now. Sucks. Cuz like, I don't know what it's supposed to mean to be 28, although I don't really feel like Age is any kind of like factor in one's life or beliefs. You are whoever you are at your age and that's all that there is. Whether you're smart, or stupid, or good or bad. I think age is nothing. In fact one thing I'm discovering about the "adult" world is that there is NO adult world. This whole fucking world is run by kids. Of various degrees of experience and knowledge, but sad to say that grown men and women are typically not far off from the same ding dongs you knew back as a kid. In fact, I personally am not too far off from who I was as a kid, just constantly horny, that's all...

So similar to my post on the Super Mario Bros movie, I'm going to get into some of the things I loved from my own childhood. I like to sit and remember my days as a kid because constantly being hunted and shitted on by people I don't know is just fucking me up personally. I never thought I'd be wished death by anyone but here I stand and I've got some fucking assassins hunting me down whether they're kkk or some shit, but that's what I've been made aware of. I certainly never thought while jacking off to tons of porn that I'd one day be targeted for execution, but here we go. Gotta live with this monkey on my back.

Anyway, well I was a 90s kid. I see the kids today and they just suck. Imo. My childhood whoops these fucker's ass so hard, I wish I could take them back to my childhood and let them see family matters every friday, the little halloween episodes of simpsons, the fucking great shit on saturday mornings that has been completely abolished nowadays in today's dismal future world.

I didn't know what I had. Hell, I don't think ANY of us 90s kids knew what kind of awesome world we were living in and being a part of. I certainly had NO CLUE under the blue sky that one day all the shit that I was enjoying as a kid would be fucking lost art. But I was wrong. We are in a shitty time where everything is porn and overly done videogames, and just a general lack of relgious passion for things. It's become very sterile, cold world. Nothing means anything anymore. Everyones just about lost and faithless and godless and filled with hatred.

I don't like that stuff. maybe some do, but I grew up believing in Jesus and stuff so I can't live forever without believing in some shit.

Well some of the things I had as a kid was the game gear. Nobody playing this shit anymore. It's a fucking artifact these days. But back in my day, man the idea of playing games in the dark man.... badass1!!

Me an my friend we played sonic the hedgehog at his house. I remember. He had a birthday party, we went to the movies, and we went to kid aerobics and then it was me and him and he showed me his game gear and sonic the hedge hog. From that point forward i was just obsessed with getting a gameboy or a game gear. Didn't have the money for a game gear, but I eventually got a game boy. And I loved that fucking piece of shit.

No kid today could tolerate playing the game boy, I'm sure. But for me, I could sit all day playing game boy. I loved tetris, mario land, megaman. Those games were awesome.

And if you had a game boy light and magnifier oh yeah, playing games in the dark man...

Now. I got the psp. I play all the old super nintendo classics on it, and generally anything I want or enjoyed as a kid, I put it on there and play. Cuz, man I don't feel like I have to move on from the games I liked as a kid. I just don't... I still enjoy flying through a level of crash bandicoot racing, a highly underrated game imo. Nobody really respects that game at all, but I loved it as a kid and I still play it today and it's still one of the best goddamn kart racers ever made imo. Although I've yet to get into the new shit, mario karts they have now. I certainly want to though, get those new racers. I'm a racing game nut gotta say. I love speed, I love going fast, and faster like sonic the hedgehog. Me and sonic are related it appears. I gotta say. We're very attatched over the years. Not only have I been watching sonic on tv since SATAM and the shitty fucked up sonic on crack version came along, but I've been playing the game too. whether it's the game gear shit or the dreamcast game which I had to try out and it was amazing to me. The dream cast Sonic was like the first time I've ever seen a videogame really transfer a 2d platformer to 3d successfully outside of mario. What mario did was awesome, what sonic did was even better. I loved playing the sonic for dream cast.

A note on the dream cast. I was there. Back when Adam Sessler had hair. And in those days we were actually all considering the possibility of the dream cast to actually kick ass and do well as a system.

I don't remember the specifics of it, but I believe I got the dream cast for christmas and was just overjoyed to have the system. I got shenmue for it, I lived it up as a teen. I played tons of dream cast games before the system became obsolete.

And in fact if you actually go back and watch the initially x-play episodes maybe even when it was called game stop tv. You will see shit loads dream cast reviews for that shit. They thought the system would do gangbusters, they really did. But they were wrong.

I was wrong. Why did the dream cast fail? That's a good question. Why under the fucking sun did such a wonderful, high graphics, intense, and fun system like the dream cast fucking buckle like it did.

I honestly don't know, I can only guess it's because it didn't have an ethernet connection on the back. It basically still used dial up meanwhile the ps2 really I think got way ahead of the competition by allowing network play so that people could play online. Meanwhile the dream cast was living in the past and basically still offering people single player games. But the future of gaming was going to become multiplayer absolutely.

We're getting there. I mean I'm still an old school gamer. I can still sit and play a single player game and not feel like I'm missing anything. I've always played games alone, just hanging out getting through an intense level of mario, so playing games alone without hearing some 10 year old yacking through his mic is actually what I'd rather do.

Really they kill the experience for me. i'm so used to just logging into a game system and playing all by myself, having to sit there and hear some goddamn kid running his mouth off is just hell on earth. I'll take old school games thanks...

So I was a 90s kid, life back then RULED. Oh my god. say whatever you want, but the day I got my super nintendo was HEAVEN. I will always remember the day I got super nintendo. And the first game I played for it was animaniacs. Back then they prettymuch made games based on ANYTHING that was out in the media. Animaniacs, tiny toons, anything disney, they made a game of it you bet your ass.

So what can I say. There was no internet, so us 90s kids had to just find ways to entertain ourselves and one way was through videogames. You play these games and they become your life to some extent, despite having school work to do, getting through fucking crash bandicoot was more important ultimately...

I had the game boy. Then they realized at some point that the gameboy sucked ass. It's a fine system but it's huge and it's kinda hard to live with, the sad truth being that it's clunky can't even be played in the dark. Gotta blow on the cartridge to get it to work... fucking shitty.

So I eventually upgraded every so often. Around the time when pokemon became this massive stupid phenomenon that it became, they of course had to release a better type of game boy to coinicide with the ever growing popularity of pokemon. So that meant we got the gameboy pocket, which I still have a serious fondness for. Little did I know we'd get fucking game boy DS and 3D all this fucking shit these days, but back then, gameboy pocket was to me a treasure. I loved the new sleaker more efficient game boy. It was so cute, and small, and played all the same games, sadly they didn't put a light in it which is weird. By the time the pocket came out, they bin had palm pilots for business men that had lcds with backlights, so why was the gameboy still in the fucking stone age? Who knows... luckily they wised up and today no system come out without having built in lights because yunno you not gonna fucking buy a light peripheral or some shit. No way...

Love the gameboy pocket. I remember really saving up my lunch money time and again and again and then going and buying it and was just over the moon to have a gameboy pocket. Now I don't need it. I got the psp, got tablets, got tons of new tech that completely out does the gameboy series of tech.

I don't know if kids today are really into the game boys as much I'm I'm into computers and these tablets, which can basically do anything the game boy can do and much more.

But they're young pups, they don't know anything about what kind of tech we have in this new age now. They're stupid.

 Stupid kids these days!! ARRRGGHHH!!! don't know nuthin!!!

butt yeah, man, gotta say I miss the good ol Game Gear, I really do. I wish I could gut one and remake it into a fucking portable N64 emulator, that'd be cool. Too bad the thing doesn't have buttons for the controller. but it's tough to play super mario 64 on a tablet, no controller at all. Needs a goddamn dpad or some shit at the bottom.

Who the hell can play that game on a touch screen and tolerate that? You gotta be a desperate motherfucker to play like that, that's for sure...

That's all folks, just a little bit of fucking nostalgia today, as I continue to wait for my new job to come along... yup.
