I used to goto blockbuster if I did all my chores all week and was a good boy and by god was it the best thing ever.

I miss being able to just quickly and easilly rent games, you could rent games and finish them in one weekend or rent games and discover a game you love and want to own, beg your mum to buy it for ya etc.

I'd only get those huge bags of popcorn which, for some reason, tasted better than any other kind of popcorn, even hot, weird I know and a movie alongside it.

It's Friday morning and your parents are awesome. They are leaving on a getaway and won't be back until Sunday night. They have stocked the fridge with two cases each of Surge and Crystal Pepi as well as a 24 pack case of Ecto Cooler. They have stocked the freezer with Stouffer's deluxe french bread pizzas, bagel bites, and one Vienetta. The pantry is full of Dunkaroos and 3 bags of you favorite flavor of Doritos. Your dad says he'll take you Blockbuster or Hollywood Video and you can pick out the following:

1 rated r movie

2 video games

what do you choose?

I just went to the Family Video that used to be a Blockbuster and rented Wasteland 2, got a cookie dough thing and an energy drink. Go figure.

Back then I'd have gotten Super Smash Bros, gummy worms, and Dr. Pepper.

I've never been to a Blockbuster, they weren't anywhere close to where I lived. I rented from a local grocery store and mom & pop stores.

Hollywood Video was fucking awful. Having to pay a security deposit on top of paying to rent a game or movie was bullshit.

That's not how it works, unless you were one of those kids who got anything you wanted if you just whined and made a scene

If you ask me, the second game is very much improved from first game, but I guess you have to play Power of Juju first.

I read a bit about Family Video recently and found out some locations have rented out space to other businesses. So there can be places like gyms or restaurants in the same building.

And some of those locations have pizza places inside as well. They're making their money from having movies and games delivered to your door alongside a pizza.

My parents would rent me games frequently, though I never got the snax.
Times got tough and we couldn't go any more. Didn't have cable or phone.
They were still awesome.
My parents did more for me than I could ever fathom doing for another person, some of which was renting a stupid game from a store. I still don't know how to repay them.
