Basic Nostalgia thread for anything not WoW related

Remember when............

Youtube didn't have an advertisements before you watched videos.

Facebook required you to have a University Validated email address to register.

Keep it going!

The internet only existed on University campuses.
And the bus driver didn't handle tickets, the conductor came around and stamped out tickets with a special machine.
When games came on floppy disks.
When MiniDiscs were popular.
When a tenner would get you 4 pints, 5 on a Monday.
When you were excited about shaving because it made you feel older.
When all you wanted your father to do was acknowledge you as a man, only to realize you're much happier just being a good son.

Enjoy being miserable :P

Remember when:

Youtube was still in Beta and we kids thought it was super cool.

The only place Apple products were popular were School Computer labs.

We used Floppy Disks for all our homework and computer games.

Our go to for information were physical Encyclopedias.

TYs were the greatest thing and going to be great collector items.

Having Mew's card would make you cool or cause fights in school.

[Rukh]

When Magic The Gathering: Unlimited seemed like the new noob cheap set.

[Ms Andry]

Youtube didn't have an advertisements before you watched videos.

No, because I have adblocker. It takes 5 seconds to get. Get it, srsly

Also, do you remember when Peppridge farm remembers? I remember.

[StickYou]

When you got the new Pentium 90 with 16mb video card .......... and it hauled ass.

[Chirri]

Garbage Pail Kids.

Sesame Street before Elmo. Sesame Street before Snuffy. Sesame Street's opening song... sung with lyrics. O_o

You Can't Do That On Television.

Those small bins full of floppies.

Using a pencil to wind a cassette tape back into shape.

A time before Pokemon.

Reading Rainbow.

Larry Bird and Michael Jordan.

Bus/Train tokens.

Tucking in shirts when dressed casually (well, some people, at least).

Animaniacs, Rescue Rangers.

Going outside in summer and not finding the heat so oppressive it sapped all energy and motivation to do something physical (this isn't a statement about Global Warming so much as how easily kids can blow off uncomfortable temperatures when bored... little monsters).

When the skies were blue, and the grass was green.

Ed, Edd, and Eddy. Dexter's Lab. Powerpuff Girls.

[Pachycrocuta]

When Cartoons were on Saturday mornings.
When video game consoles came with 2 controllers
When 4 MB of ram was amazing
When video games were for nerds
When anything with RPG (not the military term) was for even bigger nerds

Remember when you would see your family because you would watch tv ( downstairs ) instead of playing games?

Remember when... the air was clean...and sex dirty...

[Wolfbear]

I can't recall the taste of food... nor the sound of water... nor the touch of grass. I'm... naked in the dark, with nothing, no veil... between me... and the wheel of fire.

I can't carry it for you... BUT I CAN CARRY YOU!

OT: When sweets and chocolate were super cheap and I could buy loads with just a quid :C

[smokii]

when nobody had a mobile phone and your parents trusted you to come home on time and didn't feel the need to track your every move

when paedophiles weren't everywhere and you could go into the woods without fear of being abducted

when security cameras weren't everywhere

when £1 was a lot of money

when penny sweets actually cost a penny (you could actually get 2 per penny cos they were halfpenny each)

when bikes didn't have suspension or gears

when playgrounds were built on concrete or woodchips

when slides were 20 feet high and you could actually get friction burn coming down them (let alone practically dying if you fell off the ladder)

when you could smoke indoors, anywhere.

Pound notes that would get you loads of sweets.

First hard drive, a 2.5" 250mb drive was the best you could get

Getting a 5 1/4 floppy disc on some Commodore magazine & it felt like christmas.

[Darsithis]

Remember when Geocities still existed??

...you had to swap out disks in video games to continue playing, and had a special "save" disk?

Remember when Geocities still existed??

...you had to swap out disks in video games to continue playing, and had a special "save" disk?

Remember when you had to drop to DOS to play games.....
when cell phones were huge monstrosities that fit in suit cases...not your pocket
when drive in theaters were on every other block and you crammed friends in the trunk to get the max out of your 3 bucks
when life was good

[Demox]

When you didn't know anything about the real world.

[Sliske]

Watching marathons of this shit and singing along like a champ

[Astraia]

Blues Clues with Steve

[Archangel Tyrael]

Remenber when you first killed a Sim by locking him in a 1 square room with no light and anything else and just watched as he died?
