I never thought i'd miss demo discs as much as I do now.
plus I was the only kid on the block w/o an n64, so I would go over to friends' houses just to play wcw/nwo revenge
2010 was over 6 years ago. I played Mass Effect 2 yesterday and it was huge nostalgia for me. If we went back 6 years from early 2010, Vampire: Bloodlines wouldn't even be released. Where the fuck did the time go?

It's the same here, if you had said you were 12 years old, you would be banned on the spot, even as a troll. Since you didn't know this it's obvious you are a newfag.

But I didn't say or even imply I'm 12, I'm a grown man.
Are you bored or something? Acknowledging the existence of people breaking the rules isn't the same as breaking them.
You're trying too hard to fit in calling me a newfag over and over.

What the fuck are you on about? I reminded you that there are people even younger than you described on the board and you threw a tantrum. There's no goal posts, I just made a comment. It's not even an argument, it's just you being angry.

Is English not your first language or can you just not into reading comprehension? He's not implying he's underage, he's saying that there's probably lots of lurkers/posters here that are.
He's right, there's nothing stoping underageb&s from browsing. Hell, I started coming here when I was 13.And that was 7 years ago.

watching terrible cringe/lewd shit with them is the best! too bad they are like an hour away now...
>>333838418
You can still do all of these things. The only difference is that now, because you are allowed to make these decisions on your own, you don't feel like you are getting away with anything. Also the natural decay of friendship in adults prohibits pure enjoyment shared between others for its own sake.

Why? There were much better games in the same year, namely Unreal and Turok 2.
>>333842740
Wouldn't say the last is true. Maybe I'm just luckier than most, but I don't feel there's much a difference in how my friends and I enjoy things. I don't see how you can get away from enjoyment for it's own sake.

Seriously guys, how many of your HS and middle school friends are now married with kids? Im from 87 and from my group of 8 best friends from highschool only 2 are married with children and have really shitty lives (one of them isnt allowed to hang out with us because "he's a family man now", and he has to focus on his wife and child, and had to get rid of his manga and vidya collection).
I like to think that most os us"old" peopleon /v/ are happily single enjoying vidya and good careers
